The Men’s Grass Hockey Club
q[ 1HE Club started the season auspiciously when it held a banquet at
- Union College at which the Honorary President and Coach made
speeches expressing their belief in the future of grass hockey at the Uni-.
versity. General policy and plans for the year were formulated on this
occasion.
The enthusiasm evinced by members at the beginning of the fall
term has hardly maintained the original high standard throughout the
year; nevertheless the Club may be said to have enjoyed a satisfactory
season. The evidence of this lies more in the increased membership and
greater recognition of the game throughout the University than in any
startling results achieved on the playing field. At the time of writing,
the Varsity team is holding middle place in the league, though the U.B.C.
team retains its position at the bottom. With regard to the latter eleven
it may be said that the enthusiasm which has served to bring out a full
team to face constant defeat at the hands of more experienced opponents,
is very gratifying to those who have the interests of the Club at heart.
