PAGE EICHT ' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1930 R.M.C. BEAT OSHAWA BLUE DEVILS TO WIN DOMINION INTER. TITLE Weary from Hard Grind With Sarnia, Oshawa Blue Devils Lose to Powerful R.M.C. Team Oshawa General Motors Blue Devils Lack Neces- sary Pep in Game With R. M.C. in Kingston--*Cad- ets" Win Dominion Title 23-1 Victory -- Game Is Played in Terrible Rugby Weather With Bitter Cold Driving Blizzard Continu- ing Throughout -- Num- erous Fumbles and In- juries Hinder Oshawa's Chances (By Geo. Campbell) In a howling blizzard, with the mercury hovering around the zero mark, RM.C,, winners of the nlter- collegiate Intermediate series, defeat- ed the Oshawa General Motors Blue Devils by a score of 23 to 1 at Rich- ardson- Stadium, Kingston, on Satur- day afternoon, and by so doing, cap- tured the title of "Dominion. Inter- mediate Champions." As rugby games go, it was one of the poorest exhibitions ever given, and if it had not been for the fact that the Dominion Title was at stake, the game would have been the source of much laughter for every one who attended. The players were in no way to blame for their poor display. Climatic conditions werc just about the poorest they could possibly be. About fifteen minutes before game time, snow began to fall, and with the wind blowing like a miniature hur- ricane, the boys were forced to play the entire game in a veritable bliz- zard. The wind was cold, bitter cold, numbing hands and because of its strength playing freak tricks with the ball, whenever it was launched into space by a boot. Good rugby was an impossibility and the breaks were numerous as well as disastrous and the Blue De- vils seemed to suffer the majority of the tough breaks. High Score Means Nothing Undoubtedly, the Royal Military Cadets had a smart team and on Sat- urday afternoon they were much the better team. However, the impres- sive score of 23 to 1 means very little. They deserved to win the game with- out a doubt but they were not twen- ty-two points better than the Osh- awa boys. R.M.C, led at half-time by 9 to 1 and the score at the end of the third quarter. was still the same. About three minutes from the end, the score was 13 to 1 but in the last three minutes they scored two touchdowns, both of which were of the fluke variety. These ten points make the game look like a complete walk over for the "Cadets" but in reality, the two touchdowns were just a fitting cli- max to a weird game of flukes and fumbles. The Blue Devils were playing their third game in eight days and the best and fairest excuse which can be offered for their poor showing on Saturday was the hard game played and won on Wednesday, against the Wanderers. The boys were in the best of spirits but when they took the field it was quite evident that they lacked the pep and fight to put up their best display. They tried hard, no team ever tried harder, but with all the breaks going against them, they had little chance, once the, game got going. Seldom, if ever, has such a game of flukes, fumbles and freak plays been witnessed. It was bitter cold Blue Devils Grateful For All Help Received The Oshawa General Motors' Blue Devils Rugby Football club has leted a very successful New Martin TUES. - WED.

Phone 269 and as a result, there were only about three hundred spectators on hand, most of them being "Cadets", Oshawa had a good representation, Weather Against Locals The weather conditions could not have possibly been worse for the Oshawa team. Their system of play was seriously handicapped by the snow and cold. The ground was hard as flint and as slippery as a dance floor. The driving snow and wind made visibility poor. The ball was wet and slippery and the players' hands were numb with the cold, As a result, the direct sfaps used by the Oshawa tedm resulted in numerous fumbles. A direct snap is hard to handle at any time, but with cold hands, slippery ball, and unsure foot- ing, it was almost an impossibility and the fumbles on line-plays were too numerous to mention, and the R.M.C. players recovered over seven- ty-five per cent of the day's fumbles. RM.C. used tricky, combination plays and carried them out in a snap- py, certain manner and in this re- spect, they had their greatest advan- tage. Their plays were hidden very well and as a result, many an Osh- awa player moved in one direction, only to find the play going the op- posite way, and because the ground was so slippery, he could not get back in time to stop it. Not only was the conditions against Oshawa's style of play, but they also slowed down the team, in the fact that the treacherous footing made it impossible for Rowden and Hubbell to make their long runs, and thus, Oshawa's strongest point in defensive play was almost minus quantity, Neither "Doc" or "Hubby" were able to get going. Rowden suffered a terrible bang in the face, in the sccond quarter and he was out for practically half of the game, getting back in, during the final session, It is thought that "Doc" suffered a bro- ken nose. He tried to continue, af- ter receiving the injury, but had to go off. Hubbell took a great deal of punishment but bravely stayed in the game, when he should have been out, because there was no other kicker, Rowden being off. Later on in the game; during the final quarter, Murray Johnston was badly hurt and had to be carried off, He did not get back into the game. Gray and Elliott were both hurt and Hood got a lot of bumps. Wind Plays Havoe : The blinding sffowstorm made it almost impossible to distinguish the players or to see the numbers, The high wind played some freakish tricks with the hoists of the rival booters. Three times in succession, Davoud of R.M.C. booted the ball to- wards the Oshawa backfield and the ball came to rest fifty yards away from him, but directly opposite him. On two occasions, "Liz" Walker, playing at "outside," retrieved RM.C, kicks and both times the ball was captured directly across the field from where it was kicked. Once Davoud kicked the ball ahead and he caught it, without moving any more than two feet. When the first touchdown was being converted, the ball sailed for the posts and then, when about ten feet away, the wind caught it and blew it back, to land within ten feet of where it was kicked, One of Kohen's kicks landed behind him. These few incidents give an idea of how hard the wind was blowing. When the "Cadets" they scored points, but when the Blue Devils had the wind, they seemed to choose that time to make most of their fumbles and RM.C, on the other hand, played perfect rugby. The game was fairly even for the first three quarters and it was not until the final session, when everything was obviously lost, that the Blue Devils ceased trying. R scored fourteen points in the quarter, ten of them, in the ree minutes. : HE fleet-footed backfielder and kicker, was the star of the game. He made several long runs, one of them nearly sixty yards, to help his teant; when they had the wind. He kicked for most of their points, other than the touchdowns, and was their best scoring threat, His running mate, Irvin, also turned in a great game. Carr, Smith, Lane and Hees were the other outstanding players for the winners. Practically every member of the RM.C. squad showed «al ability. at tackling. : OL. as. Ed, Wilson and Bill Wanless were the only players to at- fract special attention. They were effective. Hubbell and Rowden gave everything they had but the breaks were against them and they could not get going. Elliott, Logan and Johnston worked bard in the line, Kohen and Hood did some great tack- ling byt the stars mn this department were Jack Bond and Boultbee. Liz Walker and "Wink" Gummow also did some great work, while they were in the game. Russ Wiginton turned in a lovely game, both offensively and defensively. Cornish, Cook and Cut- ler showed well when playing. Alex. Gray and Bill Tribble worked hard but the wet ball and cold hands made good snapping practically impossible. Winners Get Break Early Play opened with Oshawa pushing the homesters back into their own territory, thanks to the good booting of Hubbell, aided by a strong wind, R.M.C. had kicked off but the Blue Devils had worked the ball to centre when first and deciding break of the game occurred. Davoud kicked to Hubbell and because the ball did not travel far, the RM.C. tacklers were ready waiting. Hubbell missed the catch and Lind dribbled the ball down the field to Oshawa's fifteen yard Mune, and then fell on it to give R.M.C. possession. On the first play, Smith crashéd through for a touch down. It was not converted. Before had the wind, last last the quarter ended Hubbell had MC. season and a great deal of the success is due to the excellent co- operation received from different perons connected with the club or who worked in the interests of he club. Special mention must be made of "The Dopester." Murray John- ston has taken a great deal of his valuable time to contribute "Punts and Tackles," this very interesting column to the paper. This column is very popular with local rughy fans and the credit is due entirely to Murray. Along the same lines, namely promoting interest in the team, and their games, we wish to express our sincere thanks to Alger Press, Fred Luke and Art. Hambly, of the Motor City Stad. ium, the Oshawa Street Railway and to local business men and others, who gave their able assist- ance in behalf of the Blue Devils, The boys appreciate what has been done for them, HOCKEY RESULTS The scores of hockey games play- ed during the week-end were as fol- lows: National League Maple Leafs 4 Detroit Canadiens........3 Boston 3 Ottawa .

In the second quarter, Davoud ran the ball sixty yards on the first play and then, when well in the Osh. awa territory, RM.C, resorted to a kicking game. With the wind at their backs, they could not miss and the score at half time was 9 to 1, they having scored four singles. Off- sides were numerous in this quarter, The third quarter produced the most even football of the day. With "Doc" out, the Oshawa team were badly handicapped but they worked like Trojans, With the wind to help them, it seemed certain that they would cut down the lead but the "Cadets" got all kinds of breaks, in the way of fumbles or offsides and neither team scored in this quarter. Fourteen Points in Last With the wind to help them again, R.M.C. completely dominated the situation in the final quarter." THe Blue Devils could make no headway against the wind, on the slippery field and when the "Cadets" had scored four more points, on singles to make the score 13 to 1, the Blue Devils knew that it was all over. In the last three minutes, the winners got two touchdowns, changing the tune of the score a great deal blocked kick followed by a fumble, gave Storms a chance to score 3 touchdown and after bringing the ball back up the field by means of long kicks, RM.C. got another touch- down when they got possession, ten yards out, when Kohen's attempt at an onside kick, went behind instead of ahead. Carr carried the ball across for this try. Neither convert was successful, The Blue Devils were beaten fairly and squarely by a team, which judg- ing on the day's play, were undoubt- edly better. They took their defeat in good part and extended hearty congratulations to their conquerors. It was a rough and rugged game but was clean and there was no ill-feel- ing. Penalties were few and far be- tween, 1f the game had been played on a dry field, with better weather conditions prevailing, there is no doubt that it would have heen a nip- and-tuck struggle. The Blue Devils were far from disgraced and they have certainly had a great scason, Nothing can take away from them the glory and honour won last Wed- nesday, in their wonderful game against Sarnia.

It was hard The ground was hard but where the Blue Devils were against it, their type of play was not suited for that kind of weather, any time but with cold hands, wet Direct snaps are hard to handle at ball and slippery footing, the Blue Devils were up against it and fumbles predominated their play through- out the entire game. Ld LJ] » * A Hard Grind for Tired Team The Blue Devils can blame their defeat on the same reason that Tigers were dethroned, namely, too much rugby. Three champion- ship games in eight days is a little top much, especially when a game like: Wednesday's battle, is one of the three. The Oshawa boys were tired out soon after they got started, They gave all they had but with nearly all the breaks going against them, it was enough to break the spirit of any team. \d *- » * Injuries and Fumbles Spoil Chances It was a-game of freak 'plays and fumbles throughout, Kicks landed behind the point and in the opposite direction from which they were kicked, hardly moving. Davoud made one kick and caught the ball himself without So hard was the wind blowing, that three kicks were recovered directly across the field from where they were booted, Osh- awa's backfielders made numerous fumbles and nearly all of them were made when they had the wind and so, they lost their chance to score points, Devils could not get going. not oble te get back untiv the final RM.C. scored points when they had the wind but the Blue Then severe injury to his nose, in the middle of the second quarter, "Doc" Rowden suffered a again, He was session arc so the Bine Devils were without his services, all the time they had the wind, in the third quar- ter.

Les Canadiens Beat Boston Bruins Montreal Dec. 1.--Bert McCaf- frey, former Olympic star, few goals in his National League games but he picked a perfect spot Saturday night for his first goal of the present season. Half. way through the third period of the Boston-Canadiens match with the score tied tow-all, McCaffrey swept down the ice with Johnny Gagnon and netted Gognan's pass to give Canadiens a three to two victory over the team which had beaten them at Boston last week. It was the first meeting of the team here since the memorable night last Spring whon Canadiens defagted Boston by 4 goals to 3 and took the Stanley Cup and the world's professional honors away from them.

With a goal in each period, the Hawks,' only unbeaten team in the League, scored their fifth win in six starts in a clean, fast, well-played match, Ingram tallied the first goal halt way through the (initial period, Ripley and Couture combined for the second in the middle session, and "Mush" March snared the third 53 seconds after the last period started.

Mrs, Wilson, a sweet friend of years' standing plays a leading role in the story, and was always a pos- sible sweetheart of Doc's, Ruth Wilson, her daughter, is a wholesome likable lead, and Anna- belle Dee is a girl noted for her gig- gles. Dave Petterman is the closefisted man you will want to see get his de- serts, and he does, Johnny Dee reads all the thrift and efficiency bulletins. Jimmy Edwards is making a won- derful struggle to come back after a bad start, and succeeds. Tip a sum- mer buddy of Jimmy's pays a visit, but Jimmy will not weaken in his de- termination to make good in spite of the persuasion of Tip. The role of Dr. Adam Ford, the village doctor, was very cleverly en- acted by Ed. Keifhaber,: Ruth Cook was charming in her interpretation of Ruth Wilson the daughter of Mrs. Josia Wilson whose part was taken very capably by Luella Stevens, The character of Dave Petterman, the village crab, was taken by Allan Hor- ton, of Annabella Dee by Gladys Bryant, and of Jimmy Edwards, "Dopic" the one who had possibili- ties, and who played opposite Ruth Wilson, was taken by the President of the Whittlers' Club, Bert Wood, Tip, an, old friend of Jimmy's, by Cecil Tackaberry, and of Johnny Dee, a boy of the Village, by Ray Ripley. The play was interesting, witty, and heart touching throughout, and a great deal of credit should be given to those who not only took part in the play, but who contributed to make it such a fine success. General Motors Blue Devils lost the Dominion Championship Foot- ball title through exactly the same reason as Hamilton Tigers lost the Senior title. Too much Football. They have played exactly one dozen games in eight weeks. Hamilton Tigers have played fiftcen in eleven weeks s0 the two teams are quite comparable, - LJ Ld LJ Harry Lee "Red' Batstone said as much to Coach Walker after vesterday"s game and he should know if anyone does. Gordie Brits nell, who handled the two Sarnia games, stated that one wouldn't have helieved that they were one and the same team, on their game yesterday, He says that Sarnia won the Dominion title for R.M.C., when they extended the Blue clad warriors to such a great extent here last Wednesday.

The locals style of play wa» doomed to fallure due to, weather sonditions, Their attack relled on speed of execution, and this was fmpossible to put into effect, Our team used the direct snap to start their plays and yesterday what with a terrific gale blowing and cola hands this was very near useless. On the other hand, R.M.C. played a steady game with all their plays starting from the quarter. Thelr bucks were smothered® on nearly every occasion and most of their scoring was done through taking ad vantage of fumbles, LJ . The game wa: clean and fairly fast throughout, but fumbles on both teams added a touch of uncer- tainty, which dominated the play during the entire game, . Ll LJ So the football season is all over, The boys have done their best and have returned an Ontario Cham- pionship to our City. It wasn't for the want. of trying that it wasn't a Dominion title as well, Great Credit is due our mentor, Dr. Walker. He has spent time and energy in turning out a team which has brought fame to our city, He has instilled in the boys the true | {dea of sportsmanship and taught them to play the game hard but to {play it clean.

Ernie Cox and Brian Timmis, two of Tigers erip- 1)ed players, had come on the field juet a minute or two before, the former unable to bend one knee and the latter with an ankle twice its normal size. Then the Tiger steam roller got into action apd began a march down the field with stagger- ing smashes at the weakened Beach wingline that forced the East End- ers steadily backward. Six times in rapid succession, Tigers moved those yardsticks through Beach ter ritory, Timmis Leadlay, Boadway, Gibb and Sprague being prominent in those ground-gaining Hamilton plungers, With the ball in their possession at Balmy Beach's three- yard line, a Wright-to-Leadlay ex- tension run carried the latter across the Toronto team's goal-line for a touchdown which he failed to con- vert, Cheers Hamilton Fans Tigers had overcome much of their opponents' lead, and Balmy Beach supporters began to have doubts as to the result. Hamilton fans, who had been silent and de- jected for the most part, while the Old Gold and Blue players were gaining the lead, began to make themselves heard once more, and they were confident that their fav- orites would rise to the occasion and make one of their usual final quarter rallies to gain the decision, But they reckoned not on the ade. termination and defensive powers of that gallant Balmy Beach team. With their lead in danger, the Old Gold and Blue team fought back desperately, and Tigers encounter ed a hard battling band bitterly contesting every inch of ground and ylelding only under the almost superhuman drives of those notea Hamilton line plungers, It was a question of which team could last the longer. Players were going down and staying down on almost every play, but reviving again under the sponge of the train. er or the -encouragement of their comrades. It was gruelling foot- ball with no favors asked and none received. The fans were getting the thrills they came expecting to see, and the supporters of each team were in a constant. uproar, But behind them Tigers had fourteen hard, gruelling games, while Balmy Beach players, with a in superb condition and practically at the peak of their form, The dife ference was the difference between defeat and victory, Tigers fought with a desperation that was heroie under the circumstances, but the Ontario Union champions, giving the best performance they have shown this season, responded with an equal display of herolem and brilliance, maintaining a defense that resisted to the full the power of the Jungle Kings. Tigers went down battling to the last like the good "game" team they are and have always been, Keep= ing Balmy Beach on the defensive in the final quarter of the game, and ones more moving the yardsticks five times in succession, they dise dained single points and tried for larger scores in an effort to overs come thelr opponents' lead, But the fortunes of the gridiron and the strength that carried them to pre= vious triumphs deserted them in their hour of need, "Pep" Leadlay. the outstanding drop kicker in Canadian football, tried for a tield goal which would have tied the score, hut he missed and an inspir- ed Balmy Beach team would not provide the "break" that Tigers needed to win, i RUGBY RESULTS C.R.U.
