ThE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1928 L MOTORS BLUE DEVILS SUFFER FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASON Takes First Game of Deciding Series Hectic Game in London Sees Oshawa Defeated by Narrow Margin of 11 to 4 Greater Verdict Here Next Sa Oshawa General Motors Blue Devils took their first defeat of all time in London last Saturday after- noon when before a crowd of 2,000 people they were forced to take the short end of an 11 to 4 score, relin: quishing thereby the leadership of yards for being late in arriving at the game, following an exchange of kicks, Oshawa fumbled the ball twenty yards out from their own line and a London player fell om it, The Blue Devils held remark- tho league to the London Gas H Gang with only one game remaining in the schedule in which to make amends for their trouncing. Two touchdowns and a rouge proved sufficient reason to put the (1as House Gang at the top of the grouping but their argument only fell seven points ahead of Oshawa's strenuous bid for vietory, It was a hectic battle throughout and it was anybody's tussle until a fleet-footed London halfback broke through the Oshawa line with eight minutes to go in the last quarter and galloped 65 yards for a touchdown, to put the game on ice as far as the score was concerned, London's other touchdown came in the first quarter when Wanless, their kicking half, hoisted a short kick and recovered it himself on Osh- awa's 25 yard line, from where the team, showing dogged persistence, sent the ball over the line on sue: cessive line plunges which culmin- ated with Wanless diving over the line for the five points, This touch along with the second one was un- converted but London's eleventh point came from a kick over the Oshawa line in the first period, Oshawa played magnificent rughy and had the breaks heen with them, the result may have heen different, From the drop of the hat in the first quarter they fought like their very namesakes and succeeded among other things in letting the London. ers taste a sample of what may hap- pen down here in Oshawa next Sat- urday. Their team play was splendid but a lack of that certain something in the pinches which made the Oshawa fans wish the game was being play- ed at Alexandra Park instead of at Western University, was the cause of the smaller score than that whieh the Gas Housers managed to turn in. Hubbell Kicks Three Points Scott Hubbell's reliable boot was responsible for 3 of Oshawa's points, the sum total being entirely ecom- prised of either kicks to the deadline or rouges at various stages through the game. Several times and once in particular did the team seem on the verge of scoring a touchdown, but Dame Fortune and the strong holding qualities of the London line deemed otherwise and Oshawa was unable to break into the scoring column with a major tally, A slippery field and a very slippery ball played a large part in the play, the slippery field being responsible for numerous slips and falls by both ball carriers and prospective tacklers while the slippery ball was even more so a cause of disaster, several fumbles interspercing the play which managed to do considerable damage, London Holds Line London won the game Saturday mainly on their ability to hold their line when the necessity was great: est, Many times Oshawa ploughed their way down the field and well in- to the London territory but on every occasion they were denied access to the last white line by the stone wall opposition of the Londoners so that they had to be content with points via the aerial route, But as already mentioned, it was anybody's game until the very last, Play couldn't have been moxe evenly divided. First it would be London making an advance down the field and then Oshawa would take up the gauntlet and start hammering the Gas Housers for a twenty or twenty: five yard gain before being forced to kick. 65-Yard Bun Sensational runs and sensational plays were many but the 65 yard trot by the fleet-footed Bonk on the London half line being however the outstanding item of the day. In ad- dition to the Bonk, Bill Wanless showed his heels on several ocea- sions to the Oshawa line while their star line plunger, Churchill, also broke through to make yards several times, Best Game in Years This was one reason in addition to the closeness of the play, which made it the best game which has ever been seen in London for many a day. Counter-balancing the Lon- don atmosphere of sensationalism, Scott Hubbell broke away early and often in the game for runs ranging from ten to thirty yards. His thirty yard gallop came in the first quarter to give the Londoners an early in- dication of what to expect from this quarter of the backfield. Alex Park also figured in the lime- light with some beautiful running catches in the backfield, many of which netted Oshawa some long gains. Gord Cook, Bill Tribble, Doc Rowden and Bill Gummow all- also bad some long gains to their credit while Black, King and Moore in the line did some reliable and efficient bucking. Some outstanding tackling was demonstrated by Oshawa during the game, Jack Bond, Morris and Russ Wiginton being the most particular brilliant lights. London Scores First London got the jump on the play in the very first quarter, when after Oshawa was penalized ten ably under the emergency and with Lond being penalized 10 yards for offside on their second down, they were forced to be content with kicking over the Oshawa deadline for the one point, Oshawa Evens Count With the play resuming on Osh. awa's 25 yard line, Al Moore car- ried the ball for three yards and on the second down, Scott Hub- bell broke away on an extension play and rushed down the field for a 35 yard gain, Wilson added two more yards to Hubbell's gain and then Oshawa kicked, Scott Hub- bell booting the ball over the line for a touch in goal to tie up the score 1 all, London resumed play in their section of the field and after two downs, which netted them about 7 yards, they kicked to Alex Park, who ran the ball back about 15 yards, before being brought to earth, A two yard gain by Hub- bell followed, then fortune chang- ed and on the next down the team lost ten yardsf or offside and on the third down they lost the ball for not having five men on the line of scrimmage in their kick forma- tion, Oshawa's Hard Luck The Londoners were unable to take much advantage of their gain however, when after two unsue- cessful bucks, their kick went out of hounds on Oshawa's forty yard line, 'But Oshawa still had the old jinx still hard on their heels and on their very first down, they again lost the ball on a fumble, London, for the first time so far in the game, made their yards on this oceasion in three successive bucks, their last buck coming just at the end of the first quarter, Touchdown For London Seven minutes after play com» menced in the second quarter, Lon- don, continuing their advance from Oshawa's 86 yard line, sent the ball over for a touchdown, Church- ill made yards the second time for London in this rush while with about three yards to go, Wanless carried the ball across the line for five points, His attempt to con- vert missed the goal posts by about fifteen feet, Oshawa added one more point be- fore the end of the half to make the half time score 6 to 2, the point being the result of some su- perior kicking exchanges by Hub- bell with the London hooter, Wan- less, Twice Hubbell outkicked Wanless by fully 16 yards and on the last exchange, when the ball went over the London line, a fum- bled hall nearly gave "Oshawa a touchdown, when several players scrambled for the pigskin, a Lon- don player managing, however, to come up with it in his possession, The period ended with the ball in Oshawa's possession, making an- other advance for the London goal line, Oshawa Carries Play The third quarter saw Oshawa making another advance to open the negotiations for the stanza. Following Oshawa's kick off to London, London was forced to kick on thejr third down from their 30 yard line. Oshawa immediately staged a running attack and twice in succession Doc Rowden carried the ball for a total of nine yards down the field, Hubbell applied his boot on the third down and hoisted the pill over the London goal line but the fleet booted Bonk managed to wiggle his way out in- to the field to save one point for his team, Twice in succession London fail- ed to gain am inch and they were forced to kick, Rowden getting the unt and advancing it 16 yards to ndon's 35 yard territory before Oshawa took to signals, Gummow immediately made 8 yards on an extension play, while Rowden fol- lowed with a 7 yard plunge to give Oshawa their yards and advance the pill ingide London's 25 yard line, Hubbell failed to gain yards, how- ever, on Oshawa's next play and the team attempted a drop Kick from a rather sharp angle, ahout 20 yards out. Hubbell's kick went amiss, however, in his haste to get it away and it bounded across the field to five yards out from the London line. On their first down, London fail- ed to make any gain and their at- tempt to kick out of the danger zone only got them into more hot water when the punt went out of bounds only five yards out from their goal line. Oshawa's Big Chance It was here that Oshawa failed to grasp the greatest chance that ever came to them in the game, and a chance which only comes to few teams in a season. With only Koben |eight yards to go for a touchdown, the teams had three chances in which to go over the line. Park elected to make the first attempt, but he stopped dead with a gain of only a few inches on a delayed play, Gummow was given the ball RUGBY RESULTS ONTARIO UNION Senior Balmy Beach .42 Tigers U. of Toronto 12 Twin City +...

It was hearthreaking for the Oshawa hoys to lose this golden chance to score, especially since the score was then only 6-2 and the five or six points resulting from the touch, besides being able to put new heart in' their attack, would have put them ahead in the score, Park Kicks for Point London, gaining possession of the ball through OUsbawa's failure to make their yards, drove the ball down the field for fifteen yards before they were forced to kick, Oshawa tried out the London line again, when they regain possession, but it was still solid as Gibraltar, and Hubbell booted the ball back into London's ten yard area. Af- ter losing two yards on their first down, London again kicked but Park returned the kick and the ball bounced over the home team's goal line for a rouge, which came Just at the end of the third quarter, With the score now standing 6 to 8 in London's favor, both teams went at it hammer and tongs again for a final 15 minutes of terrific rughy, Play continued for the early part of the period where it left off in the third quarter, with Oshawa forcing London right back to the shadow of their own goal posts, A touchdown seemed only a matter of time for the Osh- awa team so persistently did they keep the Londoners boxed up in their own territory, hut the more dangerous Oshawa became, the stiffer the opposition which Lon- don threw up. Score Advances to G-4 Oshawa took the only other pos- sible alternative at this stage, Hub- bell kicking over the line for an- other point, Jack Bond downing Wanless behind the line for a rouge, With play resuming on London's 26 yard line, Wanless went through the Oshawa line for a 15 yard gain and on the very next play, Bonk split the Oshawa line wide open, and sailed through both the secondary and full back de- fence for a 65 yard run for a touchdown, giving London five more points apd the game. The convert was unsuccessful and in thé 7 minutes of play which followed, there was no further scoring. Oshawa continued to fight for a footing in these dying minutes of the game, but they were denied a touchdown just as they were all through the game thus far. In their last attempt, Oshawa began to kick on the first down and met with success in the matter of ac- tual territory which was gained, but the seven points were too much to overcome in these last minutes and the game ended with the 11 to 4 score still holding good, although Oshawa was putting up a much superior offensive game. Had Most of Play Summing up the game, it is not stretching the truth a particle, to state that for three quarters of the game, Oshawa had the ball in Lon- don's territory. They had the pos- session of the ball much more than did London, yet two large gains, which resulted in touchdowns gave London the verdict in the score and fonship of the group. The return game here next Sat- urday should see a different story, however. Playing on their home field and before a jocal crowd, the Blue Devils are certain of turn- ing in a vietory to even up the grouping and make a third game necessary. The line ups were: Oshawa--Flying wing, Kohen; halves, Hubbell, Rowden and Cook: | ' gives them the edge for the champ- |le here this coming Saturday, And the above is no which is going to happen for it, It was a beautiful present, including the ame, all the way through the struggle. them. breaks down here. very tracks. day afternoon. of spectators, organs, limelight there was between the two teams, than did Oshawa, half the game. teams collide, Bowmanville, pletely swamped on day's activities, winner, SPORT SNAPSHOTS General Motors Blue Devils will defeat the London Gas House Gang Riediction cither.

Following a steady rain which lasted most of Friday night, Con- boy Park, where the engagement took place, was in a rather muddy condition with the result that good soccer was out of the ques- tion, The game would not have been played at all were it not for the fact that the Oshawa team travelled and were all set for the encounter in an effort to reduce the Scottish lead in the league race. General Motors started off in great style and became threatening from the commencement of hostils ities, with Peterson and McKean showing to advantage.

The local hoys put up a healthy scrap, but could not succeed in overcoming the early b- point lead of the much heavie:!

The word "tidy" is used reservedly. It was a neat and clean-cut victory for the Blue and White on a muddy field that left its generous coating of mire on the bands, faces and uniforms of the players. The Kitchener-Waterloo team, handicapped by injuries to two or three star players, includ- ing the husky Cammie Seagram, was outplayed. A vietory would have cinched the group title for the K.W. squad. Chance for Title Local Boys Finish Scugog Youths, to Period Aggressive The 0.C.I. senior rugbylsts met Lindsay C.I. for the second time on a sloppy field and again came through the victors by a 23 to 12 count in a good game here Satur- day afternoon. The game being played as last Saturday om slippery und it was not as fast as could but both teams ure credited with displaying real fight, especi- ally the Lindsay team, The O0.C.I. lads did not reach thuir usual mark making many fumbles and poor passed but had not much trouble in defeating the more inexperienced Lindsay team, The Scugog town lads having a better idea of the O. C. 1.'s attack after their first meet- ing last Saturday, played a fighting game and supplied much more op- position than was expected, Oshawa took the kick off and after about ten minutes of - slips, slides and fumbles, Carver opened the scoring when he romped over for a touch on a nice short end play. Smith converted the try mak- ng the score 6-0 for the 0.C.I, In the next few minutes of play Jshawa again came through, With ae ball on Lindsay's 40 yard line, ed to the Lindsay halves to be going outside behind their touch line so they did not try to catch and run it out but the ball changed its mind in its downward flight and lit inside. To make sure of giving Oshawa only one point, a Lindsay halt kicked or at least thought he kicked the ball to Lhe dead sine but Evans didn't agree and ran ahead and dropped on it with the result that the referee called it a touch, Cutler converted and ran the score up to 0.C.I, 12, Lindsay 0, In the second quarter Oshawa in a sudden series of attacks made yards the whole length of the field which again put them in scoring position, Cutler plunged through for the third and last touch before half time. Smith converted bhoostng the half time score to 18-0 for Osh- awa, Lindsay took tine kick off to open the last half, Oshawa in no time had the ball by the aid of a Lindsay off-side within a yard of L.C.I.'s touch line and a touch looked sure and easy, But Lindsay woke up and their line held like a brick wall so that it took Oshawa 3 downs to make that yard Finally however, Dandurant scrambled over with a few inches to spare for 0.C.1.'s fourth and last touch which was not converted, The score now 23-0 for O.C.I. But tim Lindsay lads were not to be whitewashed and just about 35 minutes too late they started to play rugby with a result that they bottled up dll Oshawa's plays and broke away on their own for a change. By three quarter time they had earned themselves 5 points on a touch which they duplicated in the last quarter making their total 10 points plus one for a convert.

As things now stand, University of Toronto must win in Montreal next Saturday in order to prevent McGill winning i da Intercollegiate title since McGill got their major score by recovering a short kick, a swift thrust through the middle, and a successfully executed onside kick in the second quarter, Three oth- er sipgles: from the foot of Tre- main brought the total up to 8, while Queen's two poin.s were sin- gles secured when the wind was with them in the second and fourth quarters, There is no doubt as to which was the better team on Saturday. Those to whom the Queen's cause is dear believe that a dry fleld would have spelt another champion- ship 0 he Ringstonians, but mes mus! won under préscrib- ed conditions, apd pot on a hinged with "ifs" ton, moments and thus succumbed to the thin red line of McGill. As is usual in college engage- ments, the tackling was of a high order. Don Young, Urquhart and Bill Lovering led the Red grap- pling brigade, and that McGill screen hit as though inspired. In the dying minutes of the game fn- juries came thick and fast, but the Red tacklers never slackened their grip. Jimmy Wright, "Chuck" Agnew, Armour Munro and "Ike" Sutton tackled like fiends under Carter's punts, and Tremain and Doherty found early that it was a waste of energy to attempt to gain ground through this medium. vornwall took a kick which appear- |, Oshawa Coliegiate Seniors Win 23-12 From Lindsay C.L in Smart Game Here Schedule With Victory Over use Tie With Peteboro for on Muddy -- Lindsay Stages Sensational Last Played Before Good a ------ game as they played the last half the score might have been closer, They ended the scoring by a kick te dead line netting them 1 point.
