Series. The soft ice due to the mild weather was an unfortunate handicap to both teams but circumstances at no time threat­ ened the friendly school spirit. The first period was fast and somewhat of a see-saw affair, making it look as if the teams were well matched. The Parkhill boys had the advan­ tage of practice but Exeter was too heavy for them. Both sides shot from outside the defense and to­ ward the end of the period Tieman found the net for the opening count. In the second period the weight of the red and black began to tell on the speed of their lighter opponents and the forwards began to pratise on the Parkhill net, Boyle and Taman accounted for the next two goals in succession and in a scrim­ mage another went in. With the ■score 4—0 Parkhill tried to check the victors by .using an older play­ er in the place of a forward who had been slightly injured, but the renewed attack was of no avail. By the third period the ice was very heavy and the going pretty hard but Coach Medd kept the forward line fresh and at no time were the vic­ tor’s in difficulty. Tieman and Boyle again fooled the Parkhill goal keeper to make the count six. Com­ bination play was very difficult and the forwards worked almost alone. Cook and’ Ho^tg&t v.defense were a hard* problem fo-b ?Tld with Ford in goal theMnivt/t>*~"«v’?’.f reach the twine. Line up.
