cent Athletic Club seven, last seasons
champion The score was to 3. Except
for few minutes in the early stages OF
the game there was never any doubt as to
the final outcome. When the Brooklyn
team got going at full speed the opposing
seven literally was swept off its feet

tion many pounds 10 the man, the Crescent
players took advantage of the extra avoir-
dupois. with the result that the Hockey
Club skaters were bowled over like ten
pins
The chunky Dufresne. who looks like a
small edition of Zbyszko, ploughed his way
through the opposition, never taking the
trouble to dodge anything. Those who did
not dodge him regretted IL. At one tina
when Dufresne got the puck in the middle

The rubber went like a shot past the net
hitting the boards beyond with seport

way for some time, however
Fredericks. Kennedy, Britton, Shirret
and Noteworthy were sent to the side for
the usual two minutes rest. The last man
to receive a penalty was Noseworthy. the
Hockey Clubs coverpoint, and he was
ordered out by r. Strange, the assistant
referee. II was the only thing STANCE did
all the evening, and It created a howl OF
disapproval from the crowd. To every one
il seemed that Noseworthy got a crack
over the head with stick, but as he
turned with panied as well as a surprised
,ook, Strange ordered him Off the tee. The
real offender got away unnoticed.
The veteran Dolby played centre for the
Brooklyn team last night II was his first
appearance this season, and he worked
with oldtime vigor. scoring no less than
four of the goals credited to his side.
Campbell also was in the game at all times,
doing his share OF the scoring. For the
Hockey Club the auburn haired BrittoR
was everywhere. Equally strong at defen-
sive as well as offensive play Britton sue
ceeded in breaking up many OF the ad-
vances started by the Crescent team, and
in the second half both OF the Hockey
Clubs goals were credited TO him.
The first count In favor Of tho Hockey
Club after less than four minutes Of play
gave no indication Of what was TO follow
Up to that time the contest had heen al
most entirely In Crescents territory The
Hockey Clubs first goal went 10 the credit
Of Mackenzie. who got the puck past
Mills in a scrimmage.
From that instant the Crescent seven be-
gan to play with renewed vigor, and Camp
bell tied the score by cag'ng the rubber
after eight minutes and fourteen seconds.
Then followed such vigorous attack on
Crescents part that five more goals were
scored in a trine more than ten minutes
Of actual play. Dolby was credited with
3. Campbell l and Martin l. so that the
half ended with the score TO In Cres-
cents favor.
It was much closer during the second
period, and although hopelessy beaten tho
Hockey Club team fought hard to the end.

ing for the winning team.
