PAGE SIX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1930 > ¥ ~ "BLUE DEVILS" CLOSE SCHEDULE WITH VICTORY IN HOLIDAY GAM . "Blue Devils" Come From Behind to Defeat "Combines" To Keep Group Record Intact Galt-Preston "Combines" Put Up Stiff Opposition in | | * First Half and Take Lead in Third Quarter But Blue Devils Finish Strong, Scor- ing Twelve Points in Final Session, to Win Game, 15- 6--Locals Have Won All Group Games With ideal weather prevailing and a great holiday crowd on hand to urge them along, the General Motors' Blue Devils defeated Galt-Preston Combines at the Motor City Stadium yesterday afternoon by a score of 15 to 6, to close up their group schedule for the season. : The game was, in reality, just a case of filling in a date as the Blue Devils had previously won the group championship by winning in Niagara Falls on Saturday. However, Galt- Preston took the field determined to come off with a victory despite the fact that it meant nothing to them as far as group standing went and for a while it looked very much as if they were going to succeed. Light and tricky, they had the heavier Blue Devils on the run for a while and it was not until they scored a touch- down to make the score 6 to 3 mn their favour that the Blue Devils really came to life. It was not a wonderful rugby game. Nothing was at stake, except prestige and both teams knew it. The first half produced some smart rugby and both teams played hard hut clean. Penalties were unknown in the first half and some great rugby was dis- played by the members of both teams. Blue Devils scored one point in the first quarter, when Rowden pulled a heady play. A snap was fumbled by the player intended to get it and "Doc" picked the ball up quick and punted it across the line for a point. Hubbell's boot was res- ponsible for two more points in the second quarter and the score at half time was what it really should have been at the end of the game, 3 to 0. The visitors got one point in the third quarter when a kick hit the post and bounded out. A few min- utes 'later, the Blue Devils fumbled and lost the ball practically on their own line. Hubbell was running the ball out and just after he got over the "line, he was tackled and he lost the pill Two bucks and the "Com- bines"' had a touchdown, with Oliver carrying the ball across the line, for five points. Elliott Gets Two Touchdowns In the final quarter, the Blue Dev- ils really went to work then and they started an aerial attack, playing for a fumble, (a 1a Queens). They got it After about six successive kicks, the ball was finally fumbled and Gray fell on it. Rowden took a buck and then Claire Elliott carried. the ball over the line for Oshawa's first touchdown. Before the game was over the Blue Devils had scored an- other touchdown. They gained pos- session about twenty yards out on a fumble. Hubbell carried the ball well up the field on a fine run and Claire Elliott again carried the ball across for his second touchdown. "Doc" Rowden converted both times. So much for the scoring. Steel, the visitors' punter, displayed some great ability as a ball-carrier. He twisted and squirmed his way out of a great many holds and 'was a good gainer. Oliver, their sturdy middle, did some nice plunging, on other oc- casions besides scoring a touchdown. Garibaldi played a nice game and Norman Jaglositz, Gooding and Saunders all tackled well. McIntosh, their quarterback, showed up well and made some nice solo jaunts through the Blue Devils' line. Despite the tact that the Blue Dev- ils completed their group schedule without a defeat their showing yes- terday was not any too brilliant. Up till now they have excelled in tack- ling but yesterday they seemed very weak in this department. With Lor- tie and Gummow out of the game and "Lizz' Walker watching the bat- tles entirely from the bench, the Blue Devils are without the services of three good tacklers, Then again, for a team with championship ambitions, the locals were making one or two fumbles too many but one of the most glaring faults is the number of times they have been called upon lately, not only in yesterday's game, to give their opponents valuable yards, because of offsides. Offsides mean a great deal in any game and more so when the teams and their respective kickers are evenly match- ~ © © the third quarter, Bill Tribble and Norman, of the visitors were hoth sent oft for the rest of the game for fighting. This is the second game in succession that Tribble has received the same penalty and for the same offence: Bill played a great game up until this time. He tackled well 'and made several nice gains but his usefulness stopped at the middle of the third quarter. One of the most valuable players on the Oshawa team in yesterday's battle was George Hood.

He wasn't feeling any too pert yesterday but he played well and ong. His tackling was one of the features of the game and in addition he contributed some nice gains to the Oshawa cause. We were glad to see Russ. Wiginton back into harness. He will strengthen the tackling divi- sion when he gets going. He made several nice ones in yesterday's game Kohen made one or two good stops and Boultbee was effective. Bond gave the crowd a laugh when he pull- ed down an opponent by the sweater. Rowden"s play was the big feature of the game yesterday. On one oc- cassion he ran back a kick, right up the centre of the field and he illuded practically the entire team. He had only one man to beat when he was downed, after going thirty yards. It was a great run, He did some quick thinking when he punted the fumbled ball to the dead-line for Oshawa's first point. Gord, Cook made a nice play when he broke through the formation to block Steel's kick and then fell un the ball himself. Logan and Gray turned in a smart defensive game but the work of Wilson was out- standing. Ed. is right back into form now and his side of the line is a tough place for an opposing bucker to try and break through. Cornish and Cutler each made some nice gains but Elliott's plunging was very commendable. He scored both Osh- awa's touchdowns. MacDonald turn- ed in a nice game at quarter and handled the team well while he was on the field. Hubbell kicked well but he was given little chance to break away yesterday, on his favourite long runs. Likely McCormicks Next The Blue Devils came out of the game fairly tired, as they have just completed a hard grind. They now meet McCormick Intermediates oqf the Toronto Playground League, in the semi-finals for the Ontario championship and it is expected that the first game will be played in Tor- onto, next Saturday. Meanwhile, hard practices are the order of the day. The teams: -- Oshawa Blue Devils--Flying Wing Hood; Halves, Tribble, Rowden and Hubbell; Quarterback, McDonald; Snap, Gray; Insides, Logan and Wil- son, Middles, Elliott and Cook; Out- sides, Bond and Boultbee; Subs, Kohen, Hicks, Wiginton, Stott, Cut- ler, Johnston and Cornish.

Sinclair, Poppy Fund Game Pleases the Fans Toronto, Nov. 11.--While a ca- pacity crowd looked on, the Marl- boro Grads last night held the To- ronto Maple Leafs regulars even, 2 to 2, in the Poppy Fund game at the Arena Gardens. The fans came, saw and were convinced. They have reason to believe that the lo- cals will be contenders for the Na- tional Hockey League Champion. ship this season. It was a pleasing performance and speed was the key- note. Both teams had hosts of support- ers, who cheered good plays to the echo, but "King Clancy attracted the most attention. He is perpetu- al motion personified. Never stop- ping and ever reckless, he raced into action with great abandon and was a source of encouragement to his teammates. Toronto owners paid dearly for Clancy's services, but they have no regrets, Clancy will be a standout performer here --just as he was for years with Ot- tawa. The regulars, wearing Leaf uni- forms, are a formidable lot. They had Chabot in goal, Day and Clancy on the defense, and Bailey, Blair and Cotton on the firing-line. Yet this array of talent did not leok or play any better than the young- sters who were decked out in the familiar Marlboro colors. Jackson, Conacher and Primeau on the for- ward line. with Horner and-Dun- can on defense and Grant in goal, gave as good as they received and set a withering pace that the regu- lars found hard to equal. Montreal C.N.R., Quebec Intermediates, Hold Sen- ators to 9-All Tie Game Ottawa, Nov. 11.---Montreal C. N. R., Quebec Intermediate group winners, held the Ottawa Senators to a 9-all tie in an exhibition game played at Lansdowne Park, Only a small crowd turned out for the tilt and many of the spectators bad come over from the metropolis on an excursion. The visitors con- ceded the opening point to Ottawa, took two singles back to léad 2 to 1 at the end of the first period, and shot two field goals and a single in the second, against an Ottawa touchdown, led by 9 to 6 at half time. P. Mullins and Booth were the drop kickers, The Big Four team had a de- cided edge in the second half and only Booéth's strong booting pre- Ot- tawa cut into the margin with a '| safety touch and a single and the game ended 9-all. Ottawa gave a great demonstration of power in the closing period, when 'they marched 40 yards to the C.N.R. goal line and then kicked when an- other plunge might have carried them across for a second try.

The chief attraction of the evening was the running off of the bad- minton finals in both the singles and doubles. The uncrowned king of the Club courts, is C. Keith, who decisively put out Geo. Croth- ers who was picked te oppose him. Crothers was beaten, but not dis- graced, after putting up a strenu- ous battle. The doubles were de- cided only after playing three games, the Crothers-Thompsou combination proving too much for the Gibbie-Bacogeorge pair. After losing the first game 15-13, Croth- ers and Thompson rallied strongly and came back to take the next two 15-18"and 15-9. A decided im- provement was noticed over last year's efforts. Crests are to be awarded the winners of the tour- nament. The doubles final was un doubtedly the tightest game to be played during the tournament, and by the way some of the players are shaping up, it looks as though Keith will be hard put to retain the championship during the next tournament. L. Atkinson is lining the material up for this, and will likely get it underway next Thurs- day night, The hockey situation was dis- cussed, and it was unanimously deided to enter a team in the local Industrial League. Some of the players prominent along this line for the 'Anglicans' during the past few years, who are likely to turn out are as follows: --*"Mul" Rowden, "Dude" Clary, C. Clary, W. Gibbie, G.

By Gzo, Camremiy, Sports Editor Blue Devils Are Group Champs. The General Motors' Oshawa Blue Devils are group champions for the 1930 season, by virtue of their 20 to 0 victory in Niagara Falls on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Devils were right on their toes on Saturday and they did not give the "Cataracts" much leeway. points early in the game when he ran a kick back forty-five yards for a try. From then on tie Oshawa boys were unbeatable. A few minor infringements of the rules and subsequent strenuous objections by the players enlivened the proceedings somewhat. : Defeat "Combines" yesterday The Blue Devils completed their group schedule without a defeat when they handed the Galt-Preston "Combines" a 15 to 6 beating yes- terday afternoon in a game played before a good crowd. was smart for the first half and when the teams retired for their rest period the score stood 3 to 0.

Union championship The Old Gold and Blue were given a keen struggle in the first two quar- ters, mainly because of their own fumbles, but eventually the Yellow and Black brigade weakened under pressure and away went the verdict and 'the chance to capture the title, It was estimated that over 7,000 people attended, the largest crowd that has greeted Balmy Beach. in years, Tlie cold wind undoubtedly kept many others away, but those v who journeyed to Varsity Stadium remained until the finish, so inter- ested were they in the championship battle. It was perhaps because of the cold that in the early stages fumbles were all too numerous. On nearly every plunge or extension thrust the ball went loose, and exciting scrambles ensued. Balmy Beach made the most fof the errors, and seldom retrieved the pigskin. Under such conditions it was little wonder that they failed to pile up a commanding lead. Cubs Extended Beachers The Cubs are courageous to a marked degree, and, despite the in- jury to Jack Tierney, their star lert- foot kicker, they plugged away, and they had the satisfaction of throwing quite a scare into the Balmy Beach camp. Entering the final session the invaders trailed by 10 to 6; but, with the wind in their. favor, it was thought that they might pull the game from the fire. Balmy Beach, however, would have none of that, and they soon forced the Cubs back on the defensive, getting two singles, a touchdown and a convert. Regina Rough Riders Come From Behind to Annex Prairie Title Calgary, Nov. 11.--(CP)--Re- gina Rough Riders yesterday won the senior rugby championship of the prairies, defeating Calgary Ti- gers 9 to 6, and qualified to meet Vancouver Meralomas in the West ern Canada final at the coast later this week.

Battalino and Chocolate will fight for the benefit of the Christmas fund, with the champion receiving 371% per cent. of the gate and the challenger 121% per cent. Galt's Runners Capture Prizes Guelph, Xov. 11. -- Attracting the cream of Ontario's runners and walkers, the annual Thanksgiving Day road races, staged under the auspices of the Guelph Cross Coun- try Run and Road Race Associa- tion, proved a drawing card for thousands of spectators, the meet being the most successful ever held in the history of the organization. Featured by four open events, the 16-mile, 10-mile cross country, 5- mile and 10-mile walk, the pro- gram drew a total of some 400 contestants, 200 of whom were en- tered in the local races which made up the morning's card. As was the case last year, Galt carried off the honors of the dy, with victories in the 15-mile and 10-mile Cross country, Billy Reynolds repeating his fine perfor- mance to capture the modified mar- athon, and Fred Sergeant again winning the cross country run in a thrilling duel with Wilf McClus- key, who breasted the tape a few strides behin the rangy Galt youth, BABE SFIRERT WILL NOT PLAY TONIGHT Montreal, Nov, 11.--Babe Sel- bert, regular left-winger of the Montreal Maroon Hockey Club, will probably be out of the game when the locals meet the Senators at Ottawa Tuesday night, it was announced yesterday.

"Jack Quinn and "Wallie"' Schang" Are Both Released Philadelphia, Nov. 11.--John Picus Quinn and Walter H. Schang, two of the real old-timers of base- ball and battery mates this year, on the world's champion Philadel phia Athletics, passed from the big leagues yesterday, probably for adl time, "Jack" and "Wally," 45 and 40 years old respectively, were un- conditionally released by the Mack- men, Despite his years, Quinn was good enough during the past sea~ son, to win more than half his games, finishing hs major league career with a 1930 average of .533. Schang, a relief catcher and trainer of young pitchers for Connie Mack, was weak at the bat this year, Quinn started in professional baseball at Connellsville, in the Bennsylvania State League, in 19023. He was drafted from Rich- mond, of the Virginia League, by the New York Yankees in 1908.

Knute Rockne Is Proud of His Team New York, Nov. 11.--There's a gleam of fond recollection in Knute Rockne's. eye when you ask him how his present Notre Dame back- field compares with the 'Four Horsemen" of- Immortal football memory. ! A twinkle of amusement follows when the inquiry extends to wheth- . er this 1930 eleven is not his great- est master-piece. For Rockne thinks gratefully of the results achieved for Notre Dame by the great teams of 1924- 25-26, and he knows that a foot- ball team's lasting fame is measur- ed, in the final analysis, by results. The present" Notre Dame eleven is rated by critics who have watch- ed its devastating sweep through all opposition as probably the greatest ever turned. out by Rockne. But the critical test is La "breather" against Drake University this week,' the Irish meet Northwestern, Army and Southern California on successive Saturdays.

Kitchener Flying Dutchmen Defeat Syracuse Stars by 6 to 5, Harry Lott Scoring Winning Goal in Closing Minute of Game--Play- ers Showed Lack of Cons dition and Practice Professional hockey .made its bow to Oghawa fans last night at the Oshawa Arena when the Flying Dutchmen of Kitchener defeated the Syracuse Stars by a score of 6 to 5, coming from behind in the last period to tie the score and notch the winning counter with only a minute to play, the winning goal, incidentally, being scored by Harry Lott, former Oshawa boy who ap- peared on the Kitchener line-up. The game was a good exhibition ot hockey, although the teams lacked condition and practice. The first period was a bit listless, but in the second and third the teams warmed up to theid work, and provided the thousand odd fans with some ex citement. For an exhibition game, the crowd was quite satisfactory, and if Teddy Oke happened to be there, it would make him feel quite favorably disposed to planting his homeless Millionaires in Oshawa, for they never played before a crowd as large as that of last night when they were catering to the cus tomers at the Ravina Rink in Toe ronto. If anything, the Sydacuse team, largely composed of subs, had the better of the play, and they flashed the nicer combination of the twa teamg. Their speed artist was Brown, who played a whale of a game while he was on the ice. The wholesale substitutions provided the fans with a true professional hockey touch, the Dutchmen, at one stage, putting a whole new team, with the exception of the goalkeepe er, on the ice. In addition to Lott, Joyce, another Oshawa boy, played for the greenshirts, but appeared only in the third period. It was stated that this was the first time the Dutchmen have had on skates this winter and taking this inte consideration, they turned in a nice game, : The game opened slowly, with Kitchener doing most of the attack- ing, but the Syracuse defence held them out, and there were no shots from inside the defence. Wedg- wood had a great end to end rush, but Gray saved his shot from close range to provide the first bit of ex- citement. Brown 'also. provided a thrill with a similar stunt, but the Kitchener goalie was just as good, = the period ended without scor= Syracuse flashed some pretty combination at the opening of the second period to get close in on Courtney, who, however, turned the shot aside. Finally, the score sheet Was opened when Stanhope shoved in the puck from a rebound, with Gray squatted on the ice. A min- ute later, a Kitchener man again netted the rubber, but offside had been called, and there was no count. Nice combination by the Syracuse forwards gave Martin the puck close in to even the score.
