Season Near Close
Especial to kennebec Journal.


Waterville, March March came
in like lamb this morning and as
the ice began to change from a solid
body to q liquid. the members of the
college hockey teams were seen to
grease their skates and with a sigh
of fatigue, hang them away on the
attic peg.
The season has witnessed the up
set of the dope cup time and time
again. At the first of the season it
looked as though Bates would carry
away first honors in the State. but
when Maine came to the Augusta
Carnival and grabbed off victory
over Bates by a score of 81, the
dopesters began to think different.
This did not count for the State
championship but Colby had defeat
ed Maine the week before and as
Bates had to play both in State
the championship of the Pine Tree
State might go to any one of the four
colleges. But Bates came back
strong and defeated the University
of Maine by "a score and on the
very next day trimmed the Colby
seXetet by score of 81. thereby
winning all her games and losing
none.
Bowdoin had fairly successful

leges once, as we'll as losing to each
of them. This left her in second
place.
Colby stands in third place and
| was the hardest of all the other col
leges to dope. Some of the games
that she played made her look like
| a possible champion, while at other
times the cellar position seemed to
| be her only alternative. Before the
! second encounter with Bates, Colby
| had a chance for tie with Bow
| dom on the second rung of the lad
der. but the 81 defeat left her as
! she is. in third place.
| Maine landed at the bottom of the
| pile but caused worry all during the
| race. With her win at the Augusta
| Carnival over Bates it began to look
as though she would be the only
one to trounce the leader S In their

Colby.
Much interest has been shown this
season in the winter sport and it
