|WATERv|LLE AND CONY PLAY
FAST HOCKEY CAME TO IL SCORE

After a flashy excursion the entire
length of the rink and through the
entire Cony High hockey team,
Charles Rancourt, left wing for the
Waterville High sextet tipped the
rubber into the cage in the last min
ute of play. Wednesday afternoon at
the Cony High rink and tied the
score, the game ending il one to
one tie. 1t was the prettiest play of
game that was by no means tame
and came so unexpectedly that the
small group of hockey enthusiasts
who were watching the game could
hardly believe that Wateville had
scored.
The Cony High boys played bet
ter game as a whole than did their
opponents although Cony showed up
very poorly on the passing end of
the game. The Cony team kept the
puck in the visitors end of the rink
much of the time but a strong Wa
terville defensive broke up many
promising attacks. On two occasions
the IVaterville goalie was sent from
| the ice for short time because he
was prone to drop to his knees to.
| prevent Cony from scoring. One
] thus stopped was almost sure goal.
| In the middle of the second period
| HAYDEN of Cony after taking the
/ rubber part way up the Ice. lofted 1t
| the remaining distance through one
of the Waterville defense men and
! the Waterville goal. 1t was shot
! of better than So feet and would have
been a good one to stop if the Wa
| terville goal had got his eye on the
puck.
Captain Pooler, the visiting center,
was a very fast man and the Water
| Vile offensive was largely made up
of his work, with Rancourt squirting
| ahead once in a while. 1t was said
I that Rancourt was handicapped by
| a shoulder which had been disiocat-
| ed and which is at the present time
| still strapped up. Pomerleau, the
| diminutive defense man, played a
| wonderful game, breaking up many
! threatening Cony plays.
Hayden played a strong defensive
/ game for Cony although at times ne
wandered up the ice in an attempt
/ to score. L.ishness broke up many
Waterville plays but seemed weak
on accepting passes from the others
losing chances to shoot on numerous
| occasions. Captain Bradstreet kept
the opponents worried, carrying the
puck along the full length of the ice
on several occasions.
