In the final minute of play with London one man short, the Toronto team was swarming around the Panthers' net and the rink was in an uproar, The timer rang the final bell to end the game, but few in the crowd heard its one jangle before it hroke, The referee and players failed entirely to hear it, and the play kept on, The bell was finally got working by the hand method, but still the play kept on, Fully six seconds. after its first peal, Rice slammed the puck into the Londen net and Referee Hewitson was go- ing to allow it and was ready to start the next face-off at centre ice, The official timer, Harry Abel, informed the referee that full time had been up long hefore the shot went into the net, and Hewitson promptly disallowed the goal that would have tied the score, The Toronto team registered a protest, but failed to get anywhere on it, Joe Primeau had only heen in his new Panther uniform 6% min- utes when he scored the first ena! of the game on a smart play. The period ended in a draw when Dor- atv got a soft score at 18 minutes when a loose puck came ont of a corner mix-up, the Millionaire winrer being uncovered near the London net, After a rough and scoreless second frame the Pan- thers nahhed the winning tally af- ter only 30 seconds of plav in the last period, Voss making the niny at the net-mouth after taking IMi)- more's return pass, A erowd of about 1,800 saw the Panthers break their three game losing streak that thev ran nto on the road, and also saw them main- tain their record of nnt havine been heaten at home. The game At a meeting of the Ontario Hoc- key Association held in the Telegram Bui Toronto, last night, among various other matters of business, the groupings for the teams in this year's ranks of the senior, intermediate and junior O.H.A, were made. Three Oshawa teams, one junior and two intermediate, were among those teams to be placed in their respec- tive groupings. Radical changes were made in every direction last night and all three Oshawa teams will find themselves this year, in surroundings different from those of last season. A 'new entry in the the O.H.A. was made this year, it coming from Osh- awa Sinmeoes, representing Simcoe street United Church, its team prin- gipally comprised of former Oshawa Church League players. The other to teams are well known, the junior entry being from Oshawa Sham- rocks while the other Intermediate entry is that which has now been operating in Oshawa for many years, known as the Oshama Intermediate Hockey Club, Simeoes With Port Hope Oshawa's new entry, the Oshawa Simcoes, arg grouped in division number three this year which is com- prised of Port Hope, Bowmanville, Oshawa Simcoes and Peterboro, Peter Brown, of Port Hope, is the convenor of the four team loop, which meets whenever necessary at Port Hope, The Oshawa Intermediate Hockey Club, the organization which form- erly has operated in groupings with Port Hope, Bowmanville and others in the Central Ontario district, has been 'moved in the scene of its ac- tivities this year and will operate in a five team group this winter com- prised of University of Toronto 11, Willowdale, Richmond Hill, New- market and themselves, This is known as grouping number 5 and Sammy Lowe of Oshawa has been named convenor although all meet- ings of the league will be held in Toronto, Shamrock's New Loop Shamrock Juniors, . Oshawa's age limited entry, is also in a slight ly 'different grouping this year, Their's is group number 2 of which Percy Band of Peterboro is convenor, This also is a five team circuit and is' comprised of Peterboro, Lindsay Bobeaygeon, Bowmanville and Osh- awa, Peterboro, Lindsay and Bob- caygeon are all teams whose colors will be new to local fans, Other groupings which were made last night and which should he of interest locally is the number 4 grouping in the Intermediiate series which again comprises Whitby, Stouffville, Lindsay and Port Perry, F.

Sad it is but true, that the weather seldom favors superlative rugby at this advanced ' season, though looking back agross the years one can recall several mighty championship battles which have been fought under mellow and al- most ideal conditions, From the spectators' point of view the present year has furnished few striking high lights, The "impudence" of the gritty "Varsity Orfuns', regarded at the ou'set as a bunch of hopeless discards, in wading their way through the stiffest opposition into the eastern semi-finals, probably provided the paste-board holders with their biggest thrill, Eddie Gerard, manager of the Maroons, as a Christmas present.

Much of the stiffness caused by the long train ride was worked out, and a good rest for the boys this afternoon helped considerably, Tonight the Rough Riders and Tigers were guests of a local thea- tre. : . Regina made quite an impression on_the raflbirds at this morning's practice. The team is lighter than Tigers, all the way through, . though there are several men who compare favorably with the heav- fest of the Bengal *tanks." The Rough Riders' backfield is big and strong, and showed consid- erable speed this morning, but the light Moe will only stand up pgainst the Bengals in the event the field is heavy enough to pre- vent the Cats from getting started properly. "IKE" SUTTON NAMED CAPTAIN FOR 1929 Kingston, Ont., Nov. 30.--"Ike" Sutton of Hamilton, Queen's guar- ter for three seasons, was elected captain of the sepior rugby squad for 1929 at a meeting yesterda; Formerly an outside wing in 1927, i Bill Hughes converted "Ike" into a quarter-back, and one of the best in that position playing the Cana- dian game, He has the whole- hearted support of the team and student body. At the same meet- ing Harry Batstone, Toroplo, was elected manager, Strikes, Spares, and Blows At Local Alleys A gentleman yesterday, whose name we have a good mind to pub- lish made a few notes for this column and addressed them Strik- es, Spares and Wash-Outs, Now we ask you was that premeditated? Any more cracks from the gentleman in question and we'll publicly expose him the next time he bowls under 100 in five pins. In fact we'll start that Lemon League and make him honorary president, There's plenty educated fowl toddling around at the Motor City these days, what we mean to say is that Poker Ducks are much in evidence, Next to playing doubles in five pins where you draw your own partner by lot -- for special prizes, chasing the afore mention- ed ducks is the most popular pas- time of the diedsin-the-wools at the northern academy, There's an element of , uncer- tainty in the duck game even when the ball hits the king pin, which makes the game worth go- ing in for, especialy for these who want a little variety from five pins and who don't want to be bothered heaving the ten pin agates around. Speaking of ten pins, the big fellows were toppling for a fair down at the Recreation last night where Ollie Code's newly formed ten pin league opened with a dou- ble barreled broadside, Again speaking of ten pins, it's seldom you see a ten pin cracked or hroken through the smack giv- en it by a powerful shot down the alley. The worst came to worst however the other night when Jack Purdie let nis very first ball of a game sail down the alley and a pin broke clean down the centre when the ball connected. A few more like that and Jack will be hanned. Jen pins cost money to replace, the cost comes out of the Club, which is O, K. one way, but too bad the other, A year ago, we haven't heard if it has happened this year yet or not some particularly strong boys rollirg five pins hit the pleces so hard they flew up and broke sever- al windows at the Motor City, and we believe some wer: alse, broken at the Recreation this way until screens wer put up, Also a way of making it tough on the profits, Hart's Dalry League at the Re- creation continues to be one little league in which the competition is usually keen, Only offle team out of the six is below par while the remaiping 5 are all in a heap with only five points dividing them, Mat Sutton, captain of the Strik- ers who elaim the ten pin champ- ionship of Oshawa, are reminding all and sundry at present that they crave opposition and are willing to take on their weight in wild cats, if need be, in order to secure a little fun. They're even extending their challenge to make it wide open for the whole province and apy team wishing to get their fue wet only have to put in an appear- gpce any Tuesday or Thursday at the Motor City, It Eddie Goodman and his Black Diamonds or the Five Pipners read the above we look for war. Another challepge is hanging out at present, this being by Gord Creamer and Ernie Kirkup who state they'll take on amy pair in five_pins and beat them on the to- tal. We haven't merely a hunch but we know this challenge will last to about Monday noon before Creamer and Kirkup will find themselves dated for matches for two weeks to come. Walt Phillips and another guy have already de- cided to try the mettle of the Cream-Ketchup pair. The Black Cats having been un- questionably acclaimed champions of the first quarter in the Ladies' Major City League at the Recrea- tion, the: league is now veuturinz forth into its second quarter with a little better start than it got in first division, The Black Cats went through the first division like a steam roll- er and had the enviable record of not having suffered a single defeat nor'of having had a single point scored against them, They have al- ready fallen from grace however in the second division, one point be- ing alerady chalked up against them with only three series of gam- es having been played. Somehody made a mistake. and anyone of a dozen people could he desponsible, in stating that the Centrals only had one point in their standing of the Ladies Major City League which was published last week, The Centrals have two joints instead of one and there being a great difference hetween ils Local followers of sport particu- larly softball enthusiasts will doubtless remember George HW former manager of the Chevrolet men's softball team who left Osh- awa some weeks ago for Regina. The Times was very pleased yester- day to receive a letter from George which with his consent we are here- with publishing: Sports Editor Regina, Nov. 217. Dear Sir: Would you kindly give the Gen- eral Motors Blue Devils my heart- fest congratulations on their win- ning the Intermediate rugby champ- lonship of Ontario. I have just read all about it in your paper and of how they have pulled themselves through. I was sure pleased to learn of their victory. T am fine and like it very well here in Regina. Remember me to all the boys of the Chevrolet team and once again, give my regards to the Blue Devils. Yours truly, (Signed) George Hill. League Leaders Squabhle Quer Net Guardians New York, Nov. 30, -- Nothing 'clears the troubled air in sport like a good squabble, and a regular Don- nybrook is brewing over the goal- tending troubles of three clubs in the National Hockey League. The most troublesome situation 1s at Pittsburg, and the most desperate in the camp of the New York Am- ericans, The Pirates at last have sigmed Roy Worters, anne of the leading net-tenders in the circuit, to a con- tract after many weeks of dicker- ing. But neither Worters nor Benny Leonard, the retired light. weight champion and owner of the club, have any expectations at all of Roy appearing in a Pittsburg uni- form, Both parties are emphatic in their declarations of mutual dis- approval, Now the New York Americans want Worters, Every indication points to an agreement to trade the star to New York In exchange for Miller, a goalie who just can't stand the Americans, and a bundle of cash to the amount of about $20,- 000, The big fly in the American ointment, however, is the declara- tion of the league president, Frank Calder, that Wogters will play in Pittsburg or nowhere else on the pain of permanent suspension, she is offering this to the team of Hello Girls which makes the best showing in the Major City, Madzas to date are in the lead with 7 pointssto their credit, to date: Harts' Dairy standing one and two, we hasten to rectify | (Recreation.) the error, Pld very 18 18 vesrrnseey 18 The Centrals are Bell Telephone employees while twa other teams from the same establishment also vererrreey 18 bowl in the same league, A cup has been purchased by Miss Greor and teerraneey 18 Number renee 18 ERE] The monthly Sy Agnes Club of Toronto is the high spot of amateur boxing in and around Toroamto, Last month the best boys availe able were used and a big crowd en- joyed a good show.
