This year the hockey team had a more successful season than usual,
although we lacked substitute material, especially in the forward line.
Nevertheless, Coach Wholey built up a strong team which went through
its schedule of seven games, winning three, losing three, and tying one.
Those reporting to Coach Wholey shortly after Christmas vacation
were: Captain Otis, Dye, Burns, Young, Wilcox, and Todd for the for­
ward line; while Tom Lawson, Arnold Lawson, Tingley, Boehne, and
Fales were defense men. Toof and Peckham reported to take the goalie
position.
The line-up for the season consisted of Otis, left wing; Dye, center;
Burns, right wing; Boehne, left defense; Tingley, right defense; and Toof,
goal. These men were the starting line-up in every game. They were
substituted for only after they had rolled up a sufficient lead, the second
team being too weak to be able to take over the responsibility. Neverthe­
less, when they did play their defense work was commendable.
The initial encounter was with Thayer Academy, when we scored a
decisive victory, 5-0. The team scored twice in the first and third periods
and once in the second. Throughout the entire game the Thayer team
never threatened the Moses Brown goal. Otis assisted in three of the goals;
Dye scored one unassisted and assisted Boehne with another.
With only a week-end to rest up in, the hockey team found itself
carded to play an undefeated Cranston sextet. Although it showed the same ability to keep the puck
well down in the opponents' territory, the team lost 2-0. The team played the entire game without
any substitutions; considering this fact, they played exceptionally well.
Five days later the team gained its second victory of the season when it defeated Nichols Junior
College 4-0. In this game plenty of substitutes were used. Tom Lawson and Arnold Lawson played
defense, and Todd, Young, and Fales were on the forward line. Each man played a creditable game,
for at no time did the opponents get within scoring range.
Exactly one week later the team tackled Framingham, which was undefeated in the Bay State
League. Boehne and Dye led the attack throughout the game and threatened many times to score.
Toof, at goal, played with the ability of a professional. Again and again throughout the game he
turned back what seemed like certain goals. The two that did get by, which were the only goals in
the game, were exceptionally fine shots and equally as hard to stop. One was a fast shot which was
slammed in for a goal before he could get rid of it. The second goal came after the puck bounced
off the corner of the cage and over Toof's stick. Burns, Dye, and Otis played the whole game.
T. Lawson and A. Lawson substituted for Tingley and Boehne at guard.
The next week the team journeyed to Pomfret to play the Pomfret School. Here the team, for
the first time, had the experience of playing out of doors. The periods were longer than usual, the
first and the last being twelve minutes and the second period being
fifteen. Dye and Toof were unquestionably the outstanding players. Dye
scored the first goal six minutes after the opening of the game. Dye,
again, with minutes left to play, in the last period, skated through the
entire Pomfret defense and scored the winning goal unassisted. Toof's
stops in this game were nothing short of miracles.
The next game was with the Brown Freshmen. The Freshmen had a
team that was ranked high; consequently the boys were determined to turn
them back defeated. It was a hard-fought game, and after Boehne had
scored on a pass from Dye it looked like a sure victory for Moses Brown.
The game went on with the team still ahead by one point. But in the last
few seconds the Freshmen shot the tying goal. No overtime period was
played. The work of Tingley and Boehne was outstanding in keeping the
Freshmen out of our territory.
The final game of the season we lost to Central High School. The
first goal that Central made came shortly after the opening, on a fluke
bounce. Two minutes later Otis skated down the side to sink the puck.
Central scored again in the second period after a Central man skated
through our defense and shot the puck for the winning goal.
As usual the ice at the auditorium was hard to get for practice.
Consequently, the team didn’t have much time to work under the guidance
