PATTERSON.QUEBEC ALPHA, McGILL UNIVERSITYMcGill, although represented by practically the same hockey seven, whowon for us the championship last year, failed to keep up the pace this season.While we won from Toronto on their own ice in a very close game, thescore being 5-3, they in turn won from McGill on our ice, no score beingmade until the last few minutes of play, when McGill scored a goal, whicheveryone thought clinched the game, but with a sudden burst of speed, Torontoabout a half a minute later slipped the puck past Brother Montgomery, whoplayed a peerless game in the nets. The score was then tied, but ,not for long,Toronto still keeping up the terrific pace they had set in the last fewminutes succeeded in caging two more goals in the last minute of play, and this,as the expression goes, put them on easy street for the championship. Forwith their fine team work and the stimulus of defeating McGill on her ownice they had little trouble in disposing of Queens. Quebec Alpha was representedon the team by Brothers Rankin, Masson, and Montgomery, Rankinbeing captain.We are very proud of the showing our swimming team made this year,both in the States and Canada, winning most of the events in the States exceptdiving, and easily carrying off the chanipionship of Canada.
