of the season, played a the St. Nicholas
Rink last night. the St Nicholas Skating
club defeated the seven of Queens Uni
versity. of Kingston. Ont, holders OF the
Sir Montagu Allen Cup, by score of :
goals 10 ]. II a much better exhibi-
tior OF hockey than the contest of Tues
day night. when Toronto University won
from the New York Athletic Club by the
same score. There was more snap and
better team work displayed by both
sevens and the defence of the winners
was particularly strong. blocking every
move of the opposing forwards when right
in on the nets.
Hayward was never seen TO better ad-
vantage, and in the first half he saved his
seven time and time again. He was ably
assisted by Richards and Souther The
result Of the game hinged on the work of
the goaIkeepers Hayward being much
superior TO Gilbert. who was weak, espe-
ciafly in the first period. Toward the end
Of the game he improved and kept the
score down, but the best his team mates
could do was to tally once.
The St. Nicholas team appears TO be
stronger than last year. and judging from
last nights exhibition will he a hard seven
80 beat for the amateur league champion
ship The men have learned a number
Of tricks. which they used effectively last
night. the attack falling back sharply to
help the defence The long shots for which
they are celebrated camc to the fore again.
They showed tendency 10 offside play,
however. which robbed them of at least
two goals.
There was more or less rough work. but
Souther and Putnam were the only men
ruled off during the game. The first half.
IN spite OF superior attack by the visitors,
resulted in a score Of 2 to in favor of
ST Nicholas. due in a great measure to
Hayward's splendid goal keeping. In the
second period each team scored once.
The play opened with a hot attack
St. Nicks' goal. hut TIE clever work of
the defence saved them and neither side
could score until eleven minutes had
passed. when Larned tailed on a neat shot
from the right Twenty seconds later
Souther repeated, scoring the goal unas
sisted. Neither side was able to cage
the puck again before the whistle blew.
on the resumption of play Queens again
sailed right into ST Nicholas territory and
worked in on Hayward, but Campbell's s
poor shot spoiled excellent chance
Queens kept boring in by pretty team and
individual work, but Hayward. Souther or
Richards blocked its efforts just when d
goal seemed certain. Souther finally re-
iieved and. with Gordon, rushed down the
ice, only 10 be stopped by Mackenzie, who
was playing a sterling game al point. Put
nam at this time was put off for a minute
for tripping, and the visitors, with the ad-
vantage Of one more man on the ice, tried
hard TO score. On one occasion they would
have succeeded except for foolish move
the part OF Crawford, who had ex-
cellent opening. but passed TO Dobson in
stead of shooting. Souther followed with a
neat goal, but Il was offside and not al
lowed.
The local players then forced the"play
for a time and kept Gilbert busy, and
finally Putnam, on a pass from Larned,
scored in thirteen minutes. Souther was
punished for two minutes Immediately af-
terward for tripping, hut with this strong
man off the opposing seven could not tally.
Larned scored another goal on an offside
pass from Putnam, which not al
lowed. Finally Lockett, with great burst
OF speed. carried the rubber into St Nicho-
las territory and scored uDassisted in eigh-
teen minutes. For the remaining two min
utes the pace was fast, but the home play
ers easily held their own.
