Saints Go Ahead

After seven minutes play the Saints took the lead, Karolich placed to Foyn, whose shot completely beat Eichoff to enter the net. Petterson Hockey opened its new season yesterday when a friendly game took place at the Race Course between the "A" teams of the Shanghai Hockey Club and the German Hockey Club, the two strongest civilian outfits in Shanghai. A very spirited fight ended in a draw.

Playing time was cut down to thirty minutes each way instead of the usual thirty-five. The line-ups were:—

SH.C.:—Spragett, Bowen, Blakelock, Cotesworth, Edwards, Broadbent, Parsons, Loutiit, Giles, Kendall and Silvey.

G.H.C.—Tiefenbacher, Siemssen, Melchers, Lesmer, Wetzell, Kuelps, Dacumling, Rodde, Remmelie, Jessen, and Soenkssen.

The Shanghai Hockey Club were the first to settle down after the first bully, the team taking the ball into their' opponents' territory immediately.

Ten minutes after the start a sudden attack by the Shanghai Club forwards gave Broadbent the opportunity of registering the opening goal with a sizzling shot after having received a timely pass from Silvey. Following five minutes of persistent attack, Jessen tallied the equalizer from right in front of the goalmouth.
