3em1ings Gup Ueam HEN the hockey season opened this year it became evident that there was plenty of good material on hand. But unfortunately many stars of former years were over age for junior Q.H.A. After look- ing around a bit it seemed to the wise men that the 'lennings Cup series offered the held best suitable for this talent. The management of the team was handed over to Frank Hammond, a man of proven ability. For the opening game with Pharmacy, Frank trotted out a likely looking seven. They held their own well throughout the first two periods, but weak- ened in the last, and Pharmacy carried off the honors, 6H2. The thrilling game of the season. It was characterized throughout by close checking and brilliant stick-handling. McTague gave a splendid exhibition in goal and saved the team from defeat. The game ended in a tie, neither team scoring in the final period, though Bunyan and Nealon rained shot after shot at the Dental goaler. next fixture with Dents turned out to be the most The next game with Vets proved easy for the boys, who were by this time in the best of condition. The horse doctors I put up a plucky iight, but were outclassed by the College team, and lost the game, IO-1. The second game with Dents was played on one of the small rinks at the University Stadium. The small ice surface proved the undoing of St. Michaels boys, who had no chance to use their speed. They did their best in accordance with the tradi- tion of St. Michaels teams, but were returned losers, 6-2. This last defeat put the team out of the running. But it did not mark the end of their season. A challenge was re- ceived from St. .lohn's Hockey Club in Guelph, and Mr. Ham- mond accepted the opportunity to give the boys a little trip. The players enjoyed themselves immensely, and succeeded in defeating the i'Aggies 7-6. Billy Hamilton, of the Guelph team. came in for a good deal of attention and some friendly bumps from his former team mates, Billy played for two years on the College team. XVell satisfied with this fitting close to the season's work, and faintly disturbed by the threat of approaching exams, the members of the team put away their skates with loving care, and presented Mr. Hammond with a vote of thanks for his able leadership.
