". It was a mighty battle Though the Punchers met defeat; But the fans h i who lined therail . Weregiven a rare treat.' , They played a game of hockey Last Saturday afternoon; 'Twas the fastest game of hockey 'that's been played for r any a moon. The game was played on perfect ice, e ,, ay was lightning fast; ae to see such another one;,, Surely that game's not the last. 1•e Punchers' net was guarded By a player Hamed Brownlee, The stops he made were marvellous tiutl wcnder.fttl''to see. Pnikney and Andrews n defence, Throwing their weight about, They gave a splendid exhibition Of holy to keep the Pushers out. Dale Nixon, he played centre nd his play was very neat; With Crich and McNairn on the wings These three were hard to beat. They put up a mighty battle Though they lost the game by one. And I heard when it was over, Charlie Adams said, "Well dotter ]Jot Reid. the Pusher's goalie, Who is big and strong and fat, f*^•t one hard shot thrown at him And he managed to dotage that, Musty Reid and Charlie Ross Made a stalwart defence pair, And every time the Punchers rushed. Tbey found both of them right' there. Tnhnnie Muir, the centre man, - Was r. .ts ave r elusive thing v slit g And received some great assistance From his us bro lr r t o on thei wing. . g 'ftny Parke was the dark horse, But Ah! Alas! Alackl Every time the forwards rushed They met Tiny conning back. Bill Duncan, who was the substitute, Gave the Punchers some great scares, But he. wasn't on the ice enough To show the fans his wares. Someone shot the puck at Bill And it bit him on the knee; While Reid who handled the bell Played a good game as referee. It was a wonderful exhibition The puck went where it willed; It certainly was a miracle That someone wasn't killed. However, the fans enjoyed it, For at times they went insane; But the question of the day is. When do you play again? —R. S. R. COLLEGIATE NOTES. On Saturday morning last at 9:30 the Collegiate Duncan Cup team met and applied the white -wash brush to "Dot" Reid's Ramblers at the Palace rink. The final score was 3-0.
