ays later a challenge to play a game with Prentice Military
Academy on the latter's rink came by telephone and Jack accepted. The
team, attended by fully two-thirds of the school, journeyed down to
Prentice the following Saturday afternoon and won its first game by a
score of 6 to 4. This sounds better than it really was, for Prentice
couldn't boast of a very strong team. However, the result of the game
encouraged Ferry Hill, and the fellows went to work again on Monday
afternoon with redoubled vigor. Jack Rogers, who had not been playing as
well as he was capable of, found himself about this time and developed
rapidly into a hard, fast forward, passing brilliantly and making an
excellent team-mate for Warren, who, next to Roy, was the best member of
the team. By the time the second Hammond game arrived many of the more
glaring faults had been eliminated. Bacon had fallen back to substitute,
his place at point having been won by Gallup.

Ferry Hill crossed to Hammond that afternoon for the second game of the
series resolved to even things up by winning one contest at least of the
three. And, in spite of the fact that she was on unfamiliar ice, and
that the cheers of Ferry Hill's handful of supporters were quite drowned
out by the throng of Hammondites, she succeeded. The first half ended
with the score 3 to 1 in favor of the Cherry and Black, after Ferry Hill
had played on the defensive almost every minute of the time. But in the
last period Ferry Hill took a brace, got the puck away from her opponent
a few minutes after play began and scored her second goal. She followed
this less than two minutes later with a third, so tying the score. After
that play was fast and furious. Ferry Hill forced it hard. The next
try-at-goal was by Hammond, and although it looked as though the puck
entered the cage and bounded out the goal was not allowed. Hammond had a
good deal to say about that and play came to a standstill for several
minutes. But the referee, a gentleman of their own choosing, held to his
decision. But even had that goal been awarded to Hammond the game would
still have gone to Ferry Hill, for Jack Rogers and Warren, playing
together like veterans, took the puck down the rink when play was
resumed and shot a goal that couldn't be questioned. That goal was
Jack's second. Hammond made it interesting for the Brown and White after
that, making try after try, but Hadden stopped everything that reached
him. With only a very
