CONQUERED WHERE OTHERS FATLED . (From the Toronto Glope) Oshawa, senior champions of the East, have conquered where so many 'others have failed. O n the historic lacrosse field at New Westminster,the veyard of 50 many Eastern hopes, Oshawa yesterday defeated the far Western: champions, and became possessors of the Maun Cup, emblematic' of the Canadian title, It was a ard-fought affair--Oshawa won by only 2 to l=but it inarked their' second consecutive win, ard undoubtedly they had to show. extraordinary strength to tumble the Salmon Bellies from their lofty throne. Two years ago a great Weston machine crumbled at New Westminster, lost its chance to represent Canada at the 1928 Olympiad, |: and then disbanded. There have been many who declined to regard Osh- awa as the equals of the "Suburbanites," but it will be different now. They have earned their laurels, and they must be rated with the best teams that ever represented the Ontario ' Association, Oshawa officials and players are deserving of every credit, and' it might also be the proper time to re- mark that the Motor City is making wonderful advances in all branches of sport. Last fall the Ontario Football Union team of that city won the Can- adian championship trophy, and now comes the Maun Cup to make it a real display of outstanding ability. ~Globe, rr enssiit : OSHAWA REJOICING (By Ted Reeve in the Toronto p Telegram).

Two championships in two years, including the Dominion title, would call for a few hiyahs in any community, and these Oshawa root- ers don't need any priming. It was only cighteen months ago that the Oshawans were debating whether they would enter senior com pany or remain intermediates, where they 'might be more in' the competi- tion. They tried senior with a rather fearful' step, and after losing about six out of their first nine games came back, to win eight in a row, enter' the 1928 play-offs and: emerge, surprised, 'breathless, with thc O.AL.A. title, - LJ] LJ This year they stepped out streng- thened- and: confident; and once past Brampton there was no stopping them, They have a great lacrosse team and a great lacrosse following.

Hubbell, an Oshawa boy, who, judging by the broomstick manner in which he handled his gut- ted weapon when he first reported had only seen lacrosse in the pictures plugs gamely away at the pastime and blossoms out this season as one of those human burrs who will not let a home man even go for a drink of water without checking him all the way. And so it goes. The Oshawans are a powerful team, and right now they own their adopted city, They have some real boosters handling their affairs, and it would seem as though that section of the province is "fr" lacrosse for many years to come. FIRST NATIONAL TITLE (By W. A. Hewitt in The Toronto Star) Oshawa won its first national title in sport Tuesday when the General Motors lacrosse team defeated New Westminster team on their own grounds and won the amateur la- crosse championship of Canada and the Mann Cup. Referee Querrie, in his dispatch to The Star to-day, says that all of the 15 players in the party deserve medals for the part they played in the splendid victory. The final game, he said, was one of the hardest, closest-checking games ever witnessed by that capable official. The Mann Cup has been held at the coast for 'many years. It is a great tribute to the lacrosse skill of the Oshawa team that they were able to deféat the champions on their own grounds. Oshawa is certainly getting on the sporting' map, having last year won tie intermediate O.R.F.U. champion- ship. At the - - LJ annual meeting of Degray, a promising junior. in| \y CALA, in New Westminster, the results of the promotion scheme in- augurated by the O.ALA, caught on with the delegates there and a com- mittee to be known as the promotion and extensive committee was appoint- ed to.approach Premiér King and the Federal government for a yearly grant of $5,000 to send organizers to placts of any size throughout the Do- minion to revive lacrosse where it is now dormant, Len Smith, the good-. will ambassador of lacrosse and president of the World Federation of Lacrosse, a body formnd at the last Olympic games, was again_ ap- pointed répresentative to the Cana- dian Olympic committee and he will be asked to expend his efforts to have both; men's and girls' lacrosse included on' the next Olympic pro- gram. "7 © NO' MEAN FEAT (By J. P, Finssrad in the Toronto elegram It looks like Ontario's year for cups.

They play Maitlands at Varsity Field in the first game for the title Saturday. hich likewise emphasizes the fact that those Maitlands are always there or thereabouts when the finals are réached. : ANOTHER OSHAWA CHANCE (Front the Toronto Star) With' the Mann Cup final complet- ed and with final games in two O.A L.A. series and the semi-final of another commencing this week it will not be long ere "finis" is written to the 1929 lacrosse season. The first of the final series games in intermediate and junior classes will be.played this Saturday afternoon and in all proba- bility the final round of the juvenile | semi-finals will get under way the same day. Oshawa and Maitlands begin their battle for the intermediate: title at Varsity stadium on Saturday after- noon. The two clubs have decided on home-and-home games with goals on the round to count in lieu of the three-game: series, The return game will be in Oshawa a week later. Osh- awa, having finished in the playoff position of the local group, second to Maitlands, are rather fortunate in being allowed to step into the final series without participating in the playdowns, and the reason: why is more or less shrouded in mystery. But, be that as it may, the motormen are in' there, and the form they dis- played in their group games is auth- ority for the statement that they can make Maitlands step every inch of way for the right to meet Oshawa seniors on the latter club's return from New Westminster. Brampton and Weston meet in the first game of the junior finals in Brampton on Saturday afternoon. This series will be decided on the same basis as the senior, the best two out of three games. The second game will be in Weston a week from Saturday, and the third one, if nec- essary, on neutral grounds a week later, Weston, on account of their splendid = showing throughout the regular season are favored in many quarters for the title this year, but they have had close on to a three week's lay off, while Brampton and Maitlands were battling and protest- ing the right to meet them, and past experiences have proven that this will not benefit them to any appreci- able extent. . A bit of a hitch has arisén in the juvenile playoffs. There arc three teams now left in the contention, Fergus, Maitlands and Torontos. The original draft called for Fergus meeting Maitlands in home and home games and the winner of that series to meet Torontos. The Fergus man- agement has lodged a protest to the effect that they will be required to take two trips to Toronto if they de- feat Maitlands and are asking that a sudden-death game, preferably in Georgetown, bé played on, Saturday to decide the finalist, While no de- finite decision had emanated from O.ALA. headquarters up to last night it is quite likely that the orig- inal ruling will stand and that the first game will be in Fergus Satur- day afternoon with the return game 2 Cottingham Square -next Wednes- day.

PUBLIC DEFENDERS FOR POOR PROPOSED Recommendation Sent Provincial Governments by Bar Association Quebec, Sept, 12.--The principal of pubic defenders to act in the interest of poor pérsons.similar to that of the present ¢rown prose- cutors: will be tried in one or more suitable districts in each province of Canada, if a recommendation sen the various provincial govern- ments by the Canadian Bar Assoc- iation is accepted. At the closing of the Bra convention on Saturday, a desolution asking the provincal authorities to investigate the sub- ject with a view to passing enabl- ing legislation so that the prin- ciple might be tested, was present- ed by Police Magistrate J. E. Jones of Toronto. The resolution was ad- opted. Mr. Jones made a strong plea to the convention for action in recom- mending the appointment of public defenders. Many people, he said, were going around with a grudge against the law and against the courts hecause they felt that since to CHARLIE QUERRIE Old time lacrosse star, who acted as the Eastern Canada referee in all the Mann Cup series games on the Western tour. : they were poor, they were at a dis- advantage in defending themselves, There is no usge in trying to hide the fact he said that the com- plaint in many cases has a valid foundation. The reproach is con- stantly thrown up to members of the Bench and lawyers that it costs too much to employ a clever criminal lawyer and the poor man was therefore handicapped before the courts "It is high time for us to show that we, as an association are not a wholly selfish organization but that we are actuated by interest in the public welfare' the speaker con- tinued. "We may as well admit that the law in many cases is too costly for the poor man. Without a public defender in many' cases, he will go undefended through ignorance of his rights" "Also the time of the courts would be saved by adopting this principle since a public defender would wipe out a great numer of the ridiculous defences, now tre- quently heard in courts, For in- stance the hootlegger woud not be allowed to take up the time of the court with a plea that he bought the liquor to wash the baby." Systems Studied A study of the principle of pub- lic defenders in many parts of the United States and Great Britain has heen made by the committee of .which he is chairman, Mr Jones ex- plained. He then outlined various schemes in force, as régards the defence of poor prisoners before the criminal courts. He noted that the Canadian Prisoners' Wel- fare Association of Montreal and the Social Service Council of Can- ada have given the matter extensive study and have {issued reports favoring the appointment of public defenders. Five systems of aid for indigent prisoners have been suggested as follows: 1. Special assignments to law- vers who are willing to act with- out remuneration 2. Special assignments to law- vers who receive a per diem allow- ance from the Crown or State. 3. Counsel for the defence nf In- digent prisoners suppied by aid as- sociations who. obtain their funds from charitably 'disposed persons. 4. Employment of officers of probation bureaus. as in some states of the United States. 5. The public salaried defender. Following the address of Mr. Jones, three resolutions were adopted by the meeting: First, That this association is of the opinion that the problem of legal aid for the poor iz a pressing one and demands the attention of agencies adapted to its administra- tion 'according to the varying needs of communities. Second, That the special committee of this associa- tion be asked to acertain whether there are any provincial zovern- ments, municipal bodies or groups of interested persong, who are will- ing to initiate in Canada some permanent forms of organization to give effective leadership in this im- portant forward step. Third, That provincial governments be asked to investigate the subjects with a view to passing enabling legislation, so that in one or more suitable dis- tricts the advisabliity and efficiency of public defenders may be tested and applied in cases in which coun- sel are in charge of prosecutions.

McGill, how- ever, is not sending any students to any other university this year, according to the registrar of the lo- cal university, Dr. J. A. Nichoi- son. The arrangement for the ex- change of students among the Ca- nadian universities provides that there shall not be any exchange between universities near at hana. There are four divisions, Unjversity of British Columbia; Universities of Alberta, Saskatchewan and mun- itoba; Universities of Ontario and Quebec, and the universities of tne Maritime provinces, and no ex- change is supposed to be made within any of these divisions. The period of exchange Is for one year and the applicants must be at least third year students. No tuition fee is charged as the ex- change student is regarded as hav- ing won a scholarship entitling him to free tuition. The idea of the ex- change is to make it possible for a certain number of students to study for a year at some other university that offers speical courses in sub- jects in which they are chiefly in- terested and also enable the stu- dents to gain experience under dif- ferent conditions and différent pro- fessors, besides enabling them to see more of Canada than if they re- mained in their own universities throughout their course, | Levack Trophy TRAVELLING Sow, of spreading publicity about Ger- throughout the world.

Le- vack, on March the 30th, 1923, and was presented as a challenge trophy for the Association Championship, this includes intermediate teams. As far as is known this prize is the child of an argument that arose in 1923 regarding the respective me- rits of intermediate and senior la- crosse teams. There can be no dis- pute now as the originating of the Levack Trophy as a Challenge Cup gives any intermediate team the right to play for it. : During its six years existence this cup has changed hands four times, the Weston team has so far been the one most, successful in winning it, having their name on four of the sil- ver plates, three times in succession is' the record for holding this more recently presented trophy and that honor also goes to Weston.
