College Champ Hockey
/ At three o'clock in the afternoon
the Bates Hockey team PLAYED the
Colby team for the intercollegiate
championship of Maine, winning by a
score of to .. This game was at
the rink in the State park.
The game was exciting to watch
but it lacked many OF the fine points
which the fans of this city haze been
seeing in the games that have been
played at the rink. 1t was most un-
carrying being done during the entire
game. The outstanding feature OF
the game was the number of shots
which were taken at both goals when
! it would have been just a freak OF
luck if the puck had entered the
cage.
Both teams played Skinny" and a
rough brand at that. They were both
frequent offenders in off side PLAYS
and in general rouchness. They were
not satisfied with the size of our rink
making much comment about 1t and
laying their lack of scientific hockey
to this fact.
| Bates seemed to have the better
players and they played little near
or the hockey standard than the up
river team in the first Of the game.
However in the last period Of the
game. the Bates team eased ND and
the Colby team made their only two
scores. In the last two minutes OF
play, the Colby team played real
, hockey, carrying the puck and pass
ing in the regular manner, but it was
too late To- these tactics to win. The
