CITY DEFEATS M'BRIDE, WINS LEAGUE TITLE The University City High School hockey team gained the championship of the Interscholastic Hockey League last night by handing the strong McBride sextet a 2-0 defeat which developed into a rough and tumble affair in the closing minutes. Normandy went into a tie with the Irishmen by downing the lowly Clayton team by a like score.

In clinching the championship, the University City players showed at their peak and, despite the close score, the Micks were below the form that they have flashed for the past month in which they took every game in a most convincing manner. Led by Elmer Dorfmont, the Indians were unbeatable yesterday and, had it not been for the wariness of Shaller, McBride goalie, the score might have been quite different. Shaller had a total of 23 saves. Dorfmont's Fancy Shot. In the first period all was serene and neither team seemed to have the advantage.

At the beginning of the second stanza, however, the former champions wilted and Uni versity City cut loose with a wild fusillade of shot's. Only one count ed, however, back-hand ecoop of Dorfmont's from about three feet to the left of the cage sliding in between Shaller's legs when a teammate obstructed his view. Mc Bride braced slightly after this turn of events and while U. City maintained the advantage the Del-mar avenue pucksters were unable to tally again until after six min utes of tho final period had elapsed. Then Dorfmont again proved equal to the occasion and sent a nico shot into the net from an angle.

Thenceforth the game proved a rough affair in which McBride a momentary advantage. Shaller. Haffner and Schene proved the outstanding men for the Irishmen. The University City six will meet the Claytonltesjiext Monday in the first game while McBride and Normandy will battle for second place In the feature game. The Indians will doubtless win over Clayton, but the McBride-Normandy go will be anybody's game until the final bell.
