The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1906

Ballade of Hockey

Ballade of Hockey.

Where are the men who won us fame
On former fields when the world was gay—
Before our woes with Wellington came,
And United drove our dreams astray—
Teams of the old years, where are they ?
Good fellows all, of goodly cheer—
Gone, bag and baggage, welladay!
Where are the teams of yesteryear ?

Where's speculator Matheson,
And skipper Skelley, where is he ?
And the fighting Prouses, are they gone,
And Dixon of the damaged knee ?
Where's Hope, and Bogle, and Kelly,
And King, and Gower—far or near ?
Where are the veterans of V.C. ?
Where are the teams of yesteryear ?

Envoy
Here's to the goals they saved and shot!
Here's a health we will drink with Beere—
Comrades all—a prosperous lot!
Here's to the teams of yesteryear!
