After a two-year lay-off the hockey team renewed activities. This year’s
team is considered one of the best the School has seen, but owing to some
extremely good opposition, it won only one of its five games, three being
lost by only one point.
Those reporting to Coach Jose were: Captain Kidney, Bullock, Dooley,
Riley, Dick Mowry, Goff, George Harrison, Dick Harrison, Sherry, Park-
hurst, Fraser, Rowley, Johnson, Rollins, and Meiklejohn. The first team
consisted of Bullock, left wing; Dooley, center; Riley, right wing; Kidney,
left defense; R. Mowry, right defense; and Goff, goalie.
The team, having had only a few days of practice, faced Thayer first.
Although Thayer won 2-1, the team was by no means outclassed by Thayer,
which was considered one of the leading hockey teams in Massachusetts. The
team scored in the second period; the goal was made by Dooley with the
assistance of Captain Kidney.
With only a week-end in which to rest up, the hockey team found itself matched against
the experienced Brown Freshmen team. The team was again defeated 2-1, but not without a
good fight. Unassisted, Ted Dooley scored in the opening minutes of the game. The puck was
in front of the Brown cage a great part of the game as a result of the fine playing of Dooley,
Riley, and Bullock. Goff, often left to defend the goal alone, played an especially good game.
The team tasted its first victory at Tabor’s expense. The first goal was made by Dooley in
a spectacular drive across the ice. A Tabor player soon evened up the score, which until the
last two minutes remained a tie. The final goal was made by Johnson, who received a long pass
from Harrison. Thus, the final score was 2-1. Tabor’s second attempt at evening up the score
was admirably repulsed by Dick Mowry and Captain Kidney. Bullock is also to be compli­
mented on his excellent performance.
The team next went to Middletown to meet St. George’s. This was a beautiful game to
watch. Dooley, with another of his spectacular plays, received a well-directed pass from Riley
and quickly placed the puck in the net. The score was tied by a furious drive by the whole St.
George’s team. There was no score in the second period, but in the latter part of the last period
a St. George's man picked up a loose puck and shot it into the net through Goff’s defense. The
team did not give up, however, but launched another almost successful attack. Bullock’s per­
formance was again worthy of praise. The score was again 2-1 in our opponent’s favor.
The last game of the season was a rather one-sided affair with Thayer. Our team was
rather weakened by illness. The game was a very scrappy one nevertheless, and we bowed to a
more experienced team. The final score was 6-1. Captain Kidney’s defense work was of the
best. Dooley was well guarded by his opponents, who had learned by past experience that Ted
means business.
Making due allowance for short practice periods and for a lack of adequate substitutes, we
can say that the hockey team enjoyed a good season. It did much to revive School interest in this
winter sport.
