To decide the winner of these prizes it has been decided to: draw for them at the banquet which is to be given to all the girls, Therefore, none of the winners' names will be pub- lished until after the banquet when all prize, winners will be announced. Still, this does not prevent the ener- getic person from reckoning up the averages and finding the winner of the prize in which they are most in- terested, The credit for drawing up thesc averages goes entirely to Mr, Oscar Baird, who is the league's official scorer, The work which is shown ne- cessitates a great deal of time and labour, due.to the numerous details, none of which can be omitted, A de- tailed record of every player on cach team appears below.

Ld Ld LJ When such a depressing occa- sion ag this comes along, it causes twinges of regretful thoughts that bring back all too clearly, mem- ories of our own beloved athletes who have passed on since the clos- ing of last season. . » \d Our own club has suffered its share of losses in this karly last winter the rugby boys and citizens in general were shock- ed to learn of the death of one cf sportdom's most benevolent patrons, in Dr. D. R. Cameron, His passing has left a terrible gap in the life of sport in Oshawa. And now that the football season swings around once more, the seemingly irreparable loss stares, even more poignantly 'than ever before, into the faces of his friends of the gridiron. His friend- ship was, is, and always shall, be cherished most dearly by all lovers of sport, x & Then early this spring another shock was thrust on the club by the sudden demise of one of their own club mates and players--Omer "Pop" Browne, Always happy, al- ways willing to help, full of inter- set in the club,--that explains Omer better than anything else. Nothing can refresh our mem- ories more, than the thought of dear old "Pop", always smiling and always unselfishly cheerful, His friends will never forget hiw, he was a clean sport and a clean boy. * ¥ % And to show in some tangible manner that these two associates of the club are not forgotten in the hearts of the 1929 gridders, the executive have planned a little memorial service in their memory which will take place immediately before the game. * x x Two wreaths will be unveiled 1n the centre (f the field by players in uniform while a bugler sounds "Last Post," The remaining play- ers will stand motionless with heads bared and bowed, A minute's silence will prevail before the wreaths will be whisked away to the cemetery where they will ve placed on the last resting place of these two sportsmen. who have gone over the line for the final touch in the greatest game known to mankind. : * * * The spectators are invited to help in this little ceremony which means so much to the boys them- selves, We would suggest that you come just a little before time so that no undue interruptions may spoil the solemn dignity of the occasion. LJ LJ LJ The game itself will be a knock-out. Claude Watte, Oscar Baird and Bert Jenner have ex- pended unlimited time and energy in making this opening the most ausp'cious ever staged here. The 34th Ontario Regiment Band will be in attendance and many new and novel features will be intro- duced to the fans.

RED WINGS EVEN SERIES Kansas City, Mo,, Oct, 4.--Three Kansas City pitchers were pounded for 15 hits and 22 bases by Roches- ter here yesterday and the Red Wings, International League cham- pions, evened the little world's ser- ies with an 11 to 2 victory. The one-sided triumph more than av- enged the Blues 4 to 3 success yes- terday in the ten-inning opening struggle. Kansas City got eight hits off "Tex" Carleton, who also gave ten bases on balls, a new little world series record, but at the times when a solid blow would have meant Kansas City runs, the lanky right-hander had his control and his assortment of curves working perfectly.

Er Mr, Carlyle * * the rink on Monday. * * * * Toronto, Oct. 4--A deep pall de- scended over the University, of To- ronto shortly after 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon when it became known that Jimmy Douglas, head coach of the rugby squad, had died shortly be- fore 4 o'clock in St. Michael's hos- pital, following an operation for ap- pendicitis last Saturday morning. It was hard to believe 'that Doug- las, the man who. had coached the Orphans to the O.R.F.U. champion ship last fall and who had taken charge of the Intercollegiate squad only two weeks ago, thus encourag- ing the Blue and White supporters to envision an intercollegiate title in two months' time, had passed away and when it was realized that he was no more, everyone spoke in hushed tones and there was an unconscious cessation of the «bustle. that sur- rounds the departure from lectures and, the: commencement of, the after class hours of sport and leisure. Con- versation was carried on in-low voi- ces, but the topic was the same, the popular Jimmy Douglas had died. \ Il for a Week Douglas 'took over charge of. the squad on Sept. 23, but after a Hew days was compelled to take: to his bed ,and for a while he 'received medical treatment at home, but on Saturday morning 'he Was- rushed to St. Michael's hospital and operated on for appendicitis. His condition was considered serious from the start, but he was thought to be im- proving until complications set in and he lapsed into unconsciousness about two o'cleck yesterday afternoon, pas- sing away less than two hours later. . Will Be Military Funeral The funeral will be held on Satur- day afternoon from Timothy Eaton Memorial church to Mount Pleasant cemetery, and will be of a military nature, he being an overseas veter- an and an officer of the Toronto Scottish, The funeral will be held at three o'clock and, although the university authorities intimated that they would like to change the hour of opening game of the college seas against Western Ontario to- morrow afternoon, so that the play- ers, coaches and officers of the rugby club and the student 'body as a whole might take part in a final tri- bute, the family asked that the game go on as ararnged, as they thought this would be Jimmy's wish. It would, as he was that kind. Jimmy was born in Sarnia in 1899 but when a young. lad: accompanied his parents, 'brothers and sisters to oTronto, where he attended Rose- dale public school until he entered University of Toronto schools. He was a pupil at the schools when war broke out, and in 191 enlisted, at the age of 17, with his two school chums Earl Douglas, now coach of the Var- sity Orphans, and Curly Carroll in Jimmy Douglas, Coach of : Varsity Seniors Died in Toronto, 4 p. m. Yesterday the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery at Kingston, On Two Championship Teams From the time that he turned out with the Blue and White intermed- iates in 1919 he was a prominent fig- ure in Canadian rugby. In 1920 he won his place on the senior team, playing centre scrimmage for the Dominion champions of that year, and as the three-man scrimmage was abolished after that season he was the last centre 'scrim on a champ- ionship tam, The following year he was with Argonauts, another Dom- inion championship team, but re- turned to Varsity in 1922. It was from 1921 until he retired at the end of the 1926 season that he made his reputation as one of the greatest linemen in the history of the Cana- dian game. He was a fearless play- |' er at middle wing and was a great scurce of strength to the Students in 1920 and 1922 and to the Scullers in 1921-23-24-25-2, being captain of the Double Blue in the latter year. A great year in his short but bril- liant career in rugbywa s 1926. Not only was he captain o fthe Argonauts but he took over the coaching of the Varsity juniors and commenced his record which gave him a champion. ship team in each of his four years as coach. He followed up the suc- cesses of Ronnie McPherson and Les Blackwell, who in 1924 and 1925 respectively led the Varsity juniors to the intercollegiate championship by piloting the Blue and White jun- iors to the same title in 1926 and 1927, the team being beaten by the Montreal A.A, juniors in the Cana- dian playoffs. His success with the juniors led to | his appointment as coach of the Varsity senior O.R.F.U. team [last fall and his success with this team gave him the title of "The Miracle Man of Canadian Rugby." . - He was .the youngest son of the late John C. and Mrs. Douglas and resided with his mother and brother at 19 Roxborough street east. In ad- dition to. his: mother he is survived |" by two brothers, Ken and Billy, and one sister, Mrs, George' Dinnick, of Montreal. . His oldest brother, Gor- dén, went overseas in the ranks of the 19th Battalion but after obtain- ing a commission in the Seaforth Highlanders of the Imperial army, was killed in action.' «When the 75th Battalion, C.E.F. was reorganized as a militia unit and adopted the name of the Toronto Scottish he" received a' commission and at the time of his death was se- cond in command of "C" Company of that regiment with the rank of cap- tain, The old U.T.S. and artillery friendship was continued in this re- giment as"both his pals, Earl Doug- las and: Curly Carroll, -are also offi- cers in the regiment, 10,.C.1I. Track and Field Meet Grea t Success The students of the Collegiate turned out in full force yesterday afternoon to Alexandra Park for the sporting event of the year, the annual field and track meet. Although the weatherman might have been kinder the spirits of both contestants and spectators showed little signs of being weak- ened with a result that the day went over a big success amid the hearty cheers of the supporters of red, green and gold. The keenness of competition 1ea- tured the day, practically every event providing the crowd with the thrill that comes only witn a hard earned win. No standing school records were broken in this year's meet, how- ever, Armitage managed to equal the old record for the 220 yd. aash at 24.2 seconds. Since the junior and senior mile races have not been run off the final report with regards to points cannot be given at present, It is however, positive that Eric Armitage with 171% points so far to his credit is the 1929 champion, His victory, however, was not eas- ily decided for Don Black runner up, strong bid for the hon- ours finishing with 11% points. In the junior section, Ted Marks, a newcomer to the O.C.I. carried off the laurels with 6 firsts netting him 18 points and hence the cham- pionship. Gilles was runner up with 9 points to his credit. The girl entries were divided in- to 3 classes. Gladys McComb teaa the seniors with 121 points, 14 points gave Greta Maxwell the in- termediate championship while the junior honours were earned by M. Henderson with 9 points. For first, second and third posl- tions 3, 2 and 1 points, respective- ly, are given. In the boys events the winners of first and second places are eligible to compete in the Bowmanville, Oshawa and Whitby meet which will likely be held next Friday.

St. Catherines, the Pride of The Peninsula, Considered Team to Beat, by Oshawa Well folks, the BLUE DEVILS gre to get into action at last, On Saturday afternoon the General Motors' Intermediate Rugby rep- resentatives lock horns with ist. Catharines, the pride of the Pen- insula. What a tussle that -eill be. For the last five weeks the boys have been practicing faithfully and now they are raring to go. Last year the "BLUE DEVILS" made history when they overcome what looked like impossible odds to take the group honours away from the London Gas House Gang and then with a crippled but in- spired team took the Champion- ship away from Sarnia after Sar- nia had decided that all that was left for them to do was to-go through the motions. A great deal of water had pass- ed under the bridge since that time and several old faces will be miss- ed when the team takes the field on Saturday and their places will be taken by new material. One of the feature of the open- ing game will be the short mem- orial ceremony which is to be held in memory of Dr. Cameron and Omer Brown. The details -of this ceremony are given in the Punts and Tackles column on this page. It is requested by the General Motors Rugby Club that all those present at the opening will please take part in the ceremony and it is also desired that everybody wiil make a special effort to be there a few minutes before the game starts so as not interrupt the cere- mony. Among those who will not be in uniform on Satyrday is Murray Johnston, Murray's shoulder is not vet better and the Doctor's orders are that he is not to play until another week has passed. Murray is anxious to be back in the game and he feels pretty tough about it but nothing can be done. It is certain, however, that Cliff Pound wants Murray back in the game just as bad as Murray wants to get back but orders are orders and they have to be obeyed. Perhaps the greatest addition to the team this year will be Dr. Norman "Liz" Walker. "Liz" Walker is tonsidered to be one of the greatest outside wings that Canada has ever produced. "Liz started his rugby career at Delta Collegiate as a halfback. In nine- teen twenty-two he 'went to Queen's half-line. That year was however the year that Queen's had the lest half line that she has ever known. Playing for Queen's that year were such stars ag Batstone, Ledley, Harding and McKelvey. "Liz" failed to make the half-line 80 he tried out of the wing and made the position, He played regu- lar for Queen's in the years 22, 23, 24 and 25. His last active rugby but he hag played on the Queen's Old Boys' Team every year since then. Lionel Conacher "Big Train" playing for Toronto was tackled by "Liz" and from then to this day he refers to Walker as the "Hu~ man Bullet". On Saturday you will see just what is meant by that expression. The following is a list 'of the players who will be in uniform on Saturday: Black, Bond, Boultbee, Carver, Cook, Cutler, Elliott, Gray, Gummow, Hamilton, Hobart, Hub- bell, Kohen, Logan, Moore, Row- den, Tribble, Walker, Wiginton and Wilson. That gives an idea of just how powerful the "BLUE DEVILS" are and no doubt they will receive plenty of support from the people of Oshawa, SEE YOU AT THE GAME. WILD SPECULATORS JETTISON STOCKS New York, Oct. 4.--A 'sudden wave of liquidation, striking with terrific force in the last hour of trading, yesterday brought sbouit the most drastic decline in recemt stock market history. Scores of-acs tive issues broke $5 to $25 a share, and one inactive stock tumbled $70 a share, as panic-stricken specula- tors alarmed at the rapidly-mounts ing total of brokers' loans, thre® their holdings overboard for what ever they would bring. ' More than two billion dollars fn "quoted values was washed away on the New York Stock exchange alone five of the most active issues ac- counting for more than half a bil- lion dollars of the total. Sympa- thetic declines took place on the New York Curb exchange, where many of the losses ran from $5 to $34 a share, and in all of the ather leading security exchanges of the country.
