favor of tho novices Jtarclay's goal, Just
before tlmo was called, made the count
3 to 2,
The Ico was In noor rnmliiinn tn n.ia

through which tho rchooll.ojs splashed, but
it wan a spirited contest In spite of con
ditions. Hunter, Hart, Alexander, Llppln
cott, Thornton and Wood plaied on tho
winning team.

point for his team Hrame, Darker, Jour
