INTRA - MURAI HOCKEY CUP IS WON BY NARROW MARGIN-2 TO 0 JUNIOR - SENIOR VICTORS Upperclassmen Hazie Freshmen Soundly After Hard Struggle By a score of 2 to 0 the Junior Senior Hockey defeated the Freshmen Wednesday and won the championship. It was a hotly contested game and the Freshmen were a fast crew. The Seniors managed to keep the ball from near their goal, but the "Rats" gave them a hot scramble from one side of the field to the other. But for the quickness and accuracy' of the back line the Seniors would prob ably have had trouble at the goal, but with McClure, Moore and Horger guarding it was easy to keep the ball going towards the coveted goal. Two Scores Made That only 2 goals were made speaks well for the Freshmen because the ball praaded before the goal many times only to be stopped by the "blues". The "Golds" had more team work and this was to their advantage. Lillie Baker, senior, was knocked out in the first half with an injured knee, it was knocked out of place. Mary Giliard was sent in as sub and played a good game. Once it looked as though the fresh ies had made a goal, the ball shot just inside the ring and headed for the goal, but as luck would have it it went on the wrong side of the goal post and off the field entirely. The Seniors, according to arrange ments made before the tournament that the winner of two games be de clared the. winner, wiil receive the loving cup given by Sylvan Brothers. This cup will remain at the University to be contested for each year. -- U.S.C. - SOPHOMORES TO REAR IN HOCKEY STANDING Freshmen Have Difficulty in Overthrowing Dope Pot-i to 0 The freshmen defeated the sopho mores with a score of I to 0 in the last hookey game of this year's tournament Thursday afternoon on the freshman football field.
