Father Lowreyls retirement from the playing held with the arrival of his ordination, is but the beginning of a tutorial career in sporting circles which will certainly be a successful one. The old star handled the junior T.H.L. team this year, and worked wonders with the little material he had to pick from. ' It was not a good hockey season for the 'College in several ways, but the minor teams served their purpose of uncovering and developing any finds which may be registered at the school. Father Lowrey's team were no world-beaters this season, but they gave all they had and willingly, in a futile effort to win the junior T.H.L. honours at least once. The 0.1-LA. team picked up the real good new men and the T.H.L. squad were bound to suffer. The games were close all season, and the play-off for the group title with De La Salle was merely a toss-up, but the Bond St. crowd managed to struggle through. De La Salle and the Normal School made up the group with the Double Blue. The College won and lost a game to Normal and Del, with a tie for the group honours resulting. In the play-oft' for the group title, the Sallions won both games by a 3-1 and 2-O count. There was a little consolation attached to the schedule, however, when De La Salle went through for the city championship. I McManus in goal, with Rusty Morin and King in front of him, formed a good defence. Ed. Young at centre, with Mallon, Bucher, Borgent and McKinney rounded out a well-balanced forward line that thrived on combination. .

Interfaculty hockey prospects were very bright this year in the College., Many of last year's team were available, while Flahiff and Haffey, having graduated from junior O.H.A., decided to postpone their retire- ment for another season at least, and joined the fen- nings Cup team. It was expected that Cloutier would fill the right wing position again, but the dog teams were held up at Nome, and Art arrived a week too late. In theifirst game of the series with Pharmacy, St. Mike's came from behind in the last period to make it a 4-4 tie. Owing to unfavourable weather the game with VVycliffe had to be postponedg so we met Pharmacy again before meeting the Theologs. Sheehan stepped into the place left vacant by Downey, who had joined the Varsity intermediates. Our second game with the Druggists was productive of brilliant hockey. Father Lowrey's team showed the benefits of good coaching by their much improved team play. For fifty minutes of play both teams went score- less till Pharmacy's Flying Frenchman broke away to win the game. In the two remaining games with Wfycliffe we had little difficulty in winning by large scores. The best they could do for us was to tie the Druggists, and as a result St. Michaells lost out by a single point. Hatfey and McGarry on the rear division, with Watsoii in the nets, made a very effective defence. Geo. Flahiif at centre was the bright light of the forwards.

Mr. lfVilbur handled the team, but there was a scarcity of material available as compared with last year's team. Then again, the group was much faster than in former years, and U.T.S., who won the group honours, were as good as any junior team in the league. The College sextette were grouped with U'.T.S., NVeston and St. Andrews, and the team was rather fortunate in even winning two games. The schedule called for six games, and the School team complied by struggling through, winning a game from each of St. Andrew's and U.T.S. Weston were too much' for Mr. VVilbur's team on the two occasions, and though they failed to cop the group laurels they seemed to provide stiffer opposition than either of St. Andrew's or the Bloor St. School. The junior T.H.L. squad monopolized the pick of the young hockey players and the Juveniles were forced to content themselves with what little material was left, and who could qualify under the l8 years of age limit. Rees played a good game in the nets for the 'teensters Colapinto and Crodden made a very effective rear- guard. Charlie Hogan looked after the centre ice position, flanked by McCann, Payne and Mallon, who turned in a good year along the boards.
