Ea thks ei uiaurmin THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1930 DEVILS WIN HARD FOUGHT BATTLE WITH ST. KITTS. 12-10 "Great Win Displaying some of the same type of fighting spirit, which made those French soldiers whom they are nam- ed after, famous, the General Motors "Blue Devils" swept through to a great victory on Saturday afternoon when they scored nine points in the last quarter and a half and at the same time, held their rivals, the scrap- py St. Kitts' team, off the score sheet, to take a 12 to 10 decision. ° The game started out rather poor- ly and up until the half time whistle had sounded, was nothing more than just a close, hard fought game. Fum- bles were common, being due to the bitter cold wind which swept across the field. St. Kitts scored first when they got a safety touch. In the sec- ond quarter, with the wind in their face, the Blue Devils took the ball up the field and then "Doc" Rowden kicked for three points, a lovely field goal. St. Kitts scored two singled points before the quarter ended and the score at half time was 4 to 3 for . the homesters, St. Kitts Gets a "Break" Early in the third quarter, the "big moment" occurred and this was the turning point of the game, Oshawa opened the quarter with a kick and St. Kitts returned to Hubbell. "Hubby" was surrounded before he could pick the ball up. Looking for an opening, he kicked the ball from a stooped position towards what had been a gap. Meanwhile, a St. Kitts' player had moved over and the ball Fit him in the shoulder and bounced back. Bretherick, came from no- 'where, snatched the bounding ball up and streaked for the Oshawa line, with the Blue 'Devils in purfuit. He crossed the line and Peart converted to make the score 10 to 3 in favour sof St. Kitts, "If that hadn't happened, the Blue Devils might have been defeated but it was, they immediately went ighting mad and proceeded to play the brand of rugby of which they are really capable.' The .entire squad suddenly cut loose with all they had. St. Kitts were 'thrown right back on the defensive and had to kick. Osh- awa kept them hemmed in and Lor- tie pulled down the ball carrier be- hind the St. Kitts line for a safety tolich. Before the quarter had end- ¢d Hubbell's fine booting and the entire team's smart defensive play had enabled them to -cut the lead down to 10 to 7. : "They started the final quarter in St. Kitts territory. Hubbell made a great play when he kicked well up the field and then tore up to fall on the ball himself, giving Oshawa pos session, Rowden crossed the line for a touchdown but failed to convert and the score was 12 to 10, where it remained until the game was ended. The fans were given a thrill near the end of the game when Bond, "REPAIRING WATCHFS OUR SPECIALTY If your watch is not giving satisfaction we can repair and make it tell the correct time. From St. Kitts. ! while runni back a kick, fumbled the ball and Jost it. Puccini picked it up and streaked for the Oshawa line but he in turn was tackled hard and he fumbled it. Rowden recovered to set the Oshawa hearts at rest. Hub- bell kicked on 'the first play to put the ball out of danger. St. Kitts kicked on their first down and the 'ball bounded across the line. Hub- bell was just going to pick the ball up and try and run it out, when Poole rushed in and fell on the ball. | Apparently he thought Hubbell had i touched the ball and that he had a touchdown but as it was, he lost a great chance to get a point for his team. Elliott bucked and then Hub- bell punted the ball out of danger. The game ended with the ball in mid- field. Wonderful Defensive Play It would be impossible besides un- fair, to pick any one or two persons as stars of the game. Last Saturday it was the Oshawa backfield which won the game and it gives us very great pleasure to state that this time it was the Oshawa Line which was mostly responsible for victory, How- ever, don't forget that every single player contributed his share. The secret of the Oshawa victory was their smart defensive play. Outside of recovering fumbled kicks, St. Kitts only got yards on one or two occasions, at the most, It is doubt- ful if the Blue Devils have ever played a better defensive game. The line held like a stonewall and every member of the outfit, tackled and worked like trojans. "Porky" Peart was given no opportunity to stage any long solo jaunts and their end- runs were stopped before they got started, Cornish, Elliott, Logan, Gray, Trib- ble and Cook kept the St. Kitts' buck- ers in cheek while, Lortie, Gummow, Bond, Boultbee, Kohen, McDonald nd Walker looked after the tackling uties, in thé approved manner. The St. Kitts' fans got a glimpse of what good tackling' is really like on Satur- day and the above boys gave the de- monstration. | Hubbell and Rowden looked affer the "backfield work. Rowden's canny return of kicks had the St. Kitts team baffled. Hubbell punted well and had a good day. y After the game was over and the team returned to St. Catharines' splendid. Y.M.C.A. to change, Coach "Liz" Walker, of the Blue Devils, be- came Dr. Norman Walker of Whitby Hospital. Bill Wanless, was carried off the field in the second quarter with a badly wrenched ankle and he had to receive attention, Bill will likely spend the hext two or three days in the Hospital. "Complete rest and plenty of treatments" were the doc- tor's ogders. Claire Elliott received a broken nose in what was practically the last play of the game, when he was struck by a hand. , Dr; Walker also had this to look after. These were the two paramount injuries re- ceived by the team, but all the boys bore marks of the gruelling contést. It was a rough game with the Osh- awa team getting the major share of injuries. Galt Next The boys have. got to get down to business. again and perfect a few more new plays, as they travel to Galt riext. Saturday. Galt, has been having things pretty much their own way and it is expected that this will be the real threat to the Group championship,. = The Blue Devils seemed short of plays on Saturday but the season is young yet. Kohen took his turn-at quarterback on Sat- urday and did fairly well. Ed. Wilson and Alex Gray got back into the game for a short" while and made their presence felt, Lortie was back tackling better than ever. It is hoped that Elliott and Wanless will be ready for next Saturday but it looks doubtful, Time will tell, A very' welcome addition to the ranks of Oshawa 'supporters at the game Saturday was none other than former Coach Cliff Pound, who drop- ped off on his way from Detroit to Buffalo, purposely to see the game The boys were sure glad to see Cliff) GAME First Quarter St. Catharines kicked off into a bitter cold, brisk wind which swept diagonally across the field. Oshawa fumbled the ball and St. Catharines recovered. Oshawa recovered the ball on another fumble. They are held and forced to kick. St. Kitts kicked and got the ball again on an- other fumble, They lost it and an Oshawa kick was blocked.

Fumbles were as numerous as flasks at a college dance. St. Kitts ad- vanced the ball by the aerial route and they kicked across the line. Osh- awa fumbled, recovered but were downed for two points. Still another fumble hurt their chances and then Hubbell got a nice kick away, St. Kitts persisted to kick at every op- portunity and Rowden was called on for a mice run. St. Kitts got the ball on another misplay and then kicked. Hubbel ran the ball well out for a nice effort. Two bucks gained a lit- tle and then Hubbell kicked to Mea- cher who was brought down in a hurry. A short end play was smoth- ered as was also a buck and Haynes kicked the ball out of grounds. Osh- awa were kept hemmed in, Row- den's smart run gave Oshawa yards and the first quarter was over with the score St. Kitts 2; Oshawa 0, thanks to their safety fouch. Second Oshawa were in front of the wind, which was sweeping across the field. Oshawa moved the ball up past cen- tre on a kick, St. Kitts returned and the bounding ball fooled Hubbell a little but not enough to make him miss the ball. An end-run gained a bit and Yaxley was penalized for il- legal play. Wanless was badly hurt and had to be carried off. Oshawa kicked and gots the ball when Mea- cher fumbled the 'catch. Hubbell made a long run around the end. Hubbell kicked and went through himself to take the ball for a nice play, Gummow hit die line hard for a good gain and put the ball in front of the posts, fifteen yards out. Row- den kicked for three points on the next play. It was a beautiful kick. Hubbell returned Peart's kick but the ball went out over the line. Puc- cine tried a buck but was smothered. A poor pass on an extension play re- sulted in St. Kitts beings thrown for a loss. They kicked out, Oshawa were penalized for inter- ference on the first play and then Lortie crashed through for substan- tial gain. They kicked and again lost some ground for not giving the receiver "yards." A buck and an end- run were stopped short and St. Kitts kitked. The ball bounded past Hubbell over the line but he ran it out. St. Kitts got the ball on a fum- ble. The first buck was stopped be- fore it got started as was the next one and St. Kitts tried for a field goal. They missed it but got one point on the kick to dead line. It was St. Kitts' turn to fumble but they got the ball and kicked to Row- den who was held behind the line to give St. Catharines another point Half time. St. Kitts 4, Oshawa J Third Quarter Oshawa kicked right at the start St. Kitts kicked to Hubbell, who was covered, He kicked right at the St. Kitts players and Bretherick picked the ball up and ran twenty- five yards for a touchdown. Peart converted to make the score 10 to J The Blue Devils went fighting mad and proceeded to play rugby. St Kitts were thrown right back and had to kick. Rowden returned and Oshawa got the ball ten yards out. Kohen, at quarter, was working the boys micely. They tried for a touch- down and missed on their thigd down by a foot. St. Kitts got no gain on their first play ortie went through to bring Breth- erick down behind the line for two points, The Blue Devils fought like fury and St. Kitts could not gain an inch. They kicked to Rowden. Haynes was hurt, when carrying the ball and had to be carried off. Rowden took the kick on the run and went twenty yards. Cook hit the line for a gain and then Oshawa kicked.. Elliott smashed through the line to spill a play, Mecacher kicked to Rowden A buck was held and then Hubbell kicked for a point, 10 to 6. A slight scrimmage took place in which Peart was pushed over and Ed. Wilson drew a penalty. Oshawa got the ball on a poor kick, Boultbee came off. Hubbell kicked for another point, 10 to 7. Mitchell went through for a buck and the whistle blew to end the quarter. Fourth Quarter St. Kitts got yards on a good buck and Haynes came back on the field. St. Kitts kicked to Hubbell, Hubbell went around the end for a good gain. He then kicked for a profit, St Kitts kicked out at their forty yard line. Hubbell made a great kick to within a few yards of St. Kitts goal and ran up to fall on the ball him- self, St. Kitts fought desperately to hold the fighting Blue Devils out but they failed. Rowden crossed the line for a touchdown. The wind spoiled Rowden's attempt to convert. Score Oshawa 12, St. Kitts 10, St. Kitts kicked, Bond took the ball and lost it when he was tackled. Puccine got the ball and streaked for the line. He wasstackled and fum- bled, Rowden making the recovery. This was a "break." Hubbell kicked to Peart, Peart kicked and the ball went over the line, Poole fell on the ball before any Oshawa player touched it, for a "boner." Elliott went through 'the line for a gain and then Hubbell kicked. Bond drew a penalty, Mitchell hit Hubbell with his first and was sent off. Elliott went through for a buck, Hubbell kicked the ball well up the field. Oshawa were offside, due to over anxiousness on' Gray's part. St. Kitts kicked to Hubbell and Yaxley tackled.

Camrsrrr, Sporis Editor * Fighting Finish Brings Victory ' The General Motors" Blue Devils made it two wins in a row over St. Catharines on Saturday afternoon when they defeated the plucky St. Kitts team by a score of 12 to 10, in their own back yard, behind a comparatively small crowd, the largest part of whom, came over the fence. The bitter, numbing wind which swept across the field made fumbles very frequent and eafly in the game, the Oshawa players were the most consistent offenders, As the game got going, they warmed to their work, however, They had the better, of the play in the second quarter and should have had a touchdown but they did not seem td have the right play, to take the ball across the line. . » » * * Bad Play on St. Kitts', Part Early in third quarter, Haynes kicked to Hubbell, who in returning, drove the ball right at a St. Kitts' player. Bretherick picked up the loose ball and crossed the Oshawa line for a touchdown and Peart converted to make the score 10 to 3. This was the poorest play the St. Kitts, made Saturday because it was responsible for changing the Oshawa Blue Devils from a good rugby team into a "rip-tearing" bunch of gridiron fighters who would not accept defeat. The old fighting spirit which the Blde Devils gave birth to in "28 was displayed Saturday in its best form. They set right to work and by dint of some super- lative defensive work, kept the St. Kitts team hemmed in their own half for practically all of the remainder of the game. They cut the lead down to 10-7 in the 3rd quarter and scored a touchdown as a result of Hubbell's smart play, early in the final session. They then held on with all they had and emerged with a glorious victory, It was a hard blow for St. Kitts. to swallow but the Blue Devils were not to be denied. * > " St. Catharines' Rugby Support Lamentable St. Catharines has always been acknowledged--at least by their very good paper, the "Standard,"--as a good sporting city. However, after seeing the "local crowd" which attended the Oshawa-St. Catharines game on Saturday, we are inclined to disagree. Admittedly, the weather was cool and there was a high wind during most of the game, but that kind of weather is generally acknowledged as good rugby weather. We know that the group of St. Catharines young men responsible for the intermediate entry from that city, have worked hard in the face of many obstacles to give the Garden City. a real team, and incidentally valuable advertising.' It must certainly be lamented by all when such worthy efforts only result in an apparent difinterested attitude on he part of the rugby fans of so self famous a city. * * * . Saturday Was the Day Apparently, up in St. Catharines, they like Oshawa and the Blue Devils very much--Oh, Yeah. When we arrived in 'St. Kitts, Saturday, we hastened to purchase a copy of that very good paper, the "Standard", in order to sce what was being said about the game. Under his name, in his own special column, Clayton E. Browne, Sports Editor of the "Standard" had a lengthy article, entitled "Today's the Day", in which he discussed the game from different angles. Speaking of the specta- tors, he remarked, "who are out to see Oshawa's scalp ripped cleanly off and dragged in the dust." In another part he said: "Every single man on the double blue outfit is rarin' to go and are determined to wipe out that deficit sustained last week with a victory over the pros- pective champions of the intermediate series, who figure in heir own minds, that the pennant is just as good as their now. Just how much St. Kitts. will fit into the picture will be determined plenty at 3.15 this afternoon" By all the laws, this kind of advance publicity should draw like a poultice but the St. Kitts. turnout was not very impressive. We appreciate the fact that they do 'not all feel this way, not much, but the boys saws the article before the game and it. was not exactly soothing. They made sure that their "scalps were not ripped cleanly off" and 'they also made sure that St. Kitts. did not "fit into the pic- ture" too prominently. However, give 'em credit, St. Catharines put up a great game and have the hearty approval of the Oshawa fans. * " . . Public School Team Does Well The Oshawa Public School All-Star team travelled to St. Catharines also on Saturday and put up a very creditable performance when they held the strong St. Kitts. team to 1-1 tie game. St. Catharines have hitherto proved too strong for the local kids but apparently the Oshawa schools are showing improvement. This score in a rugby game is com- mendable to say the least, The locals' were beaten badly in St. Cathar- ines last year. LJ * - » Collegiate Teams Victorious Both the Oshawa Collegiate rugby teams were successful in their home fixtures on Saturday, the Juniors taking the Bowmanville boys in by 10 to 7 in a great game, full of good rugby. The Senior game, started out auspiciously with Cobourg scoring a touchdown from the kickoff without any singles being called and before Oshawa had touch- ed the ball, except to kick off. However, the locals battled hard, and came from behind to take a 12 to § decision. . . » . Chevs. Win in Weston The Chev.

A Great Fight Toronto, Oct, 20.--Western Unl- versity of London served notice that it is fast becoming a power in Intercollegiate senlor football eir- cles by extending U. of T. to the limit to gain a 3 to 2 victory at Varsity Stadium on Saturday .after- noon, before a crowd of close to ten thousand fans. The Blue and White managed to eke out a victory over the Purple but it was by the narrowest possible margin, Sinelalr kicking the decld- lng point in the last two or three minutes of the struggle. It requir- ed all the booting excellence of the brilliant Sinclair, plus a couple of fortunate 'breaks' in that final quarter to tlirn the tide of victory Toronto's way, It was a grim struggle from be- ginning to end. In the first two quarters the London students out- played their more experienced but lighter rivals, They left 'the field at half-time, with the score 2 to 0 in their favor and on the play they deserved a larger margin. It re- mained for University of Toronto to show its best in the last two quarters, but at that, there was little to choose between the two teams. Sinclair's fine punting pro- viding the edge that made victory possible for the Blue and White The locals were the better in the last two quarters because they were facing defeat and were roused to an extreme fighting pitch to overcome the lead of their opponents. Tondoner's Powerful Wing Line Western University's powerful wing-line, claimed by critics to be the best in the Intercollegiate Union this fall, lived up to all advanced notices, The Londoners are a well~ drilled team, lacking only an out- standing kicker to place them in the front rank of the College Union. Their display here was impressive, and although they Have been beaten in their first two starts, it is more than likely that they may yet prove a stumbling block for the champion- ship hopes of U, of T. and Queen's. It was typical football weather that greeted the teams on Saturday. A crossfleld wind that was almost gale-like in its velocity at times, did not affect the kicking to any great' extent. Any advantage that was gleaned from it probably came to Sinclair because of the extra power behind his punts. The U. of T. star was again at his best, but it was not until the final half of the game that the locals concentrated on an aerial attack to get points, They | made the mistake of trying to beat Western U, at the latter's own game in the first two periods, and their performance suffered as a result, Under the powerful thrusts of the visitors' line plays, the locals were badly disorganized at times and this was most apparent in the mistakes made behind their own line, when faulty handling of the ball, missed signals and lack of cohesion in ex- ecuting their plays reduced them al- most to the point of mediocrity. Against a more experienced team than Western U. they might have been put completely to rout. Doubles; Final--C. W, Leslie and Ross Wilson (McGill) beat W. 8. Noes-and A. T. Balfour (Toroat)), 6-4, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3. We can hardly hope to get very much more of this sort of weather. «Owen Sound Sun-Times.

Reporter) Oshawa sure keeps her place on the Ontario rugby map. The O.C.V.L by virtue of their double viétory Sat- urday adds glory to' the victory of the Blue Devils over St. Kitts, The senior squad repelled successfully the invasion of the Cobourg C.I. league leaders to the tune of 12-5 while the juniors took their fourth straight vic- tory, their victims being the so-called improved Bowmanville gang. The Bowmanville team did show considerable improvement from their first game with Oshawa, hence the Junior tussle was a smart game to watch, both teams fairly even im abil- ity although the strong wind was a help and a hindrance to both teams, depending upon the quarter. Bow- manville opened the scoring follow- ing an Oshawa fumble which they re- covered, a kick to dead line gave them 1 pt. to 0 which Hackney added 5 when he fell on another loose ball behind O.C.V.L's touch line. The convert failed and the first quarter ended 6-0 BHS., O.CV.L forced their attack in the next quarter and some nice line plunging put them in scoring position on Bowmanville's 5 yard line. Guiltman carried the ball over for a touch which was not con- verted. 6-5, BH.S. Receiving the Bowmanville kick off Oshawa failed to make yards and lost ball. 'Bow- manville kicked for a rouge, putting them two up for half time, 7-5 B.H.S. The O.C.V.L were clearly the better team in the last half, although they passed up in all three sure chances for touchdowns on loose balls. Dur- ing the last quarter Oshawa blocked a Bowmanville kick close to the lat. ter's touch line, the ball rolled over into scoring territory and Shellencoff fell on it putting his team 3 points up for the rest of the game. 10-7 O.CV.L The line-ups: B.H.S. -- Hackney, Vanstone, Morris, J.

SENIORS WIN ALSO Revenge was sweet to the seniors, having suffered a close defeat in Co- bourg two weeks ago, they were out to show that Cobourg wasn't even that much the better team and they did, The first. few seconds of the game, however, did not look so good for the local collegians; Cobourg pulled a fast one that netted them 5 points before the timekeepers' watches had ticked off 30 seconds. Johnston grabbed Oshawa's kick-off and returned it to open territory to the rear of the approaching Oshawa team, spurting ahead, he recovered his. own kick and broke away 25 yards for the touch. The exception- al play however did not break the spirit of the Oshawa players and in the next few minutes the stubborn fight they began to display showed that they were still out to win. Near the end of the first quarter James grabbed the ball, after one of the Cobourg halves had fumbled Armour's punt, he had about two yards to go and romped over the touch line to tie the score. Even, once more, the teams got down to the steady grind in earnest O.C.V.I. netting one more point on a kick to dead line before half time. 6-5 O.C.V.L. Cobourg made the kick-off and Oshawa worked the ball back to their opponents' 30 yard line, Armour kicked and Johnston was downed for a rouge. 7-5 O.CV.I Regaining possession of the ball Oshawa start- ed in a steady march down the field with the linesmen dragging their sticks after them, much time was lost, however, at this stage of the game while three injured Cobourg men were carried off the field at dif- ferent times. The injuries however were only temporary and a couple of the players were back in the game again later. The O.C.V.L had pound- ed the Cobourg line pretty hard and had secured a good scoring position. Hicks was given the ball and he tore through dor another touch and the last count of the game. 12-5 O.C.V.L The last quarter was uneventful, Co- bourg strove hard to overcome the lead but Oshawa held them to it till the fi whistle blew. Cooper, the C.C.I. Quarter had to be carried from the field in this period, with an in- jured knee and this somewhat les« sened the chances of scoring. Fum- bles were costly in both the junior and senior games, hanging on to the ball seems to be the greatest diffi culty of the O.C.V.I, buckers. Peter- son was back in the game for Osh- awa this week and he sure played a nice game Saturday. Hicks alse grabbed his share of the, yards made. Cooper and Johnston were Cobourg's best men on the day's play. The line-ups: C.C.I. -- Johnstone, Staples. Schrum, Barton, Higgenson, Field, K. Cooper, McCaig, Cooper, Dafton, E.
