' Woodstock Won LJ L] Junior Title & Bringing to a close av. r sea- son in which the team has carried the bauner of the Motor ®ity with all the sportsmanship characteristic of teams that have represented the city in*the past, the executive, play- ers and assistants of the Blue Devils (Rugby Club gathered on Saturday Int Montreal, Dee, 7.--A smart and workmanlike team, Woodstock's junior football squad eliminated Montreal Winged Wheel juniors by a score of 21 to 9 at Molson Stadium here Saturday afternoon in the final for the Eastern Cana- da junior rugby championship. I'nless the western champions, Moose Jaw juniors, challenge Woodstock, the ~ Canadian title will rest with the winners of the came here Saturday. The Wobdsotck team conquer- ed play right from the start and gave the Montrealers a sound trounecing, Nervous at the start, they made a few bad fumbles be- fore they - struck their stride. Once they got under full steam, they ripped through the Mont- real boys with a bewildering vari- ety of plays and piled up a com: fortable margin. Woodstock played at a fast clip that had the Winged Wheelers desperately on the defensive, Forcing the pace, the Ontario youngsters swept to four touch- downs and a convert point. St. Thomas Wins from Ottawa 21-0 St. Thomas, Dee, 7.--3t. Thom- as Yellow Jackets, standard-bear- ers for the Flower City in the C. R.U. intermediate finals here on Saturday, outguessed Ottawa Ran- gers, O.R.F.U. champions, for the Dominion honors. The final score was 21 to 0. The game was prob- ably the most picturesque to be played in the histbry of the West- ern Ontario rugby city, and was entirely void of any poor sports- manship and ended with an ex- change of sweaters between the players in place of a.riot which marked the last time these two teams clashed in the C.R.U. finals. Medcalf's Play a Feature It was the clever little booter Medcalf whose brainy plays stood out throughout the game, who played probably the best game of his life. Three times he took Chantler"s long forward passes for gains, and twice he speared Ottawa's forwards, once to run 40 yards for a touchdown, His clever booting, which was consist- ent with plenty of distance throws in, tallied up practically all the singles. Medcalf was also in on the extension plays and did his share of running back the visitors' kicks. Chantler and Martin were al- ways a ventre of interest. The pair passed deliberately and ac- curately. They never muffed a kick, and averaged from 10 to 15 vards running them back. Only the: clever tackling of MclInenly, Quinn and Tommy MacFarlane kept these galloping halfbacks in place. Chantler completed a bril- liant game by grabbing up an Ot- tawa blocked kick on Ottawa's 25-yard line, running it to centre field and then booting it for a in the Genosha Hotel. It was ia 'very fitting manner in which to bring the season to a close and was ex~mplified by the sportsmanship of the team in paying tribute to the ability and courage of the teams 'whom they had met during the sea- son. But while paying tribute to them, the players and executive promised that the team would be back in the hunt tor provincial hon- ors next vear with a team worthy 'of the high traditions of the Blue ya !. H. Clark presided as toast ni@ster in a very capable manner, cdlryving out the program in a way Lich appreciated by those present, his remarks to the plavers, he fited that he was glad that it was * Thomas that eliminated the Blue ils in the sudden death game in 'Hamilton. He referred to the man- ster in which the St. Thomas team were supported for that game, when fans had ten miles tarther to go those from Oshawa, of whom were very few present. Mr. ¢ expressed the thanks of the utive to all those who had help- th the team and made the sea- successful one. The thanks he executive was also due, he to Neil Hezzelwood, secretary ig club than whom no one had peed harder for the club. Mr. expressed assurance in stat- that the team would be in the Hor the honors next vear.

He expressed his thanks to players for the manner in which 'they stuck together under such cir- Lcpmstances. Tt is not what you do, but how fyb fcel", asserted C.

(Ike) Bulmer was introduced hse Jack Bond, in his own inimitable manner. Mr. Bulmer stated that the spirit of fellowship exemplified the club was very commendable. He felt sure that the young plavers would continue to keep the Blue ils to the front in the O.R.F.U, He '-dged his support to the team next season's activities.

OUR FUIURE ADVERTISEMENTS " | Sport Snapshots | Cobourg, having been out of organized hockey for two years has been admitted to the fold again this season and will operate both junior and intermediate teams in the Lakeshore group, The Cobourg execuive are making a fine effort to put a championship team on the ice and were in the city on Friday night with a Imrge squad to ha%e a workout on the artificial ice. They intend to come up twice a week to give their players every chance to get into condition. " * ® The closing of the rugby season was marked by the Blye Devils on Saturday night when they held a dinner which was attended by almost every member of the squad together (with the execuive, trainers and The enthusiasm of the players speaks much tor the success of the team next year. They have hopes of taking their third championship in five tries. A striking feature of the banquet was the tribute that was paid to the teams against which the Blue Devils played this year. With that spirit of sportsmanship to the fore rugby in Osh- awa should take a front rank place in the major sports of the Motor City. " * " * their assistants. When it is taken into consideration that the Blue Devils have only operated for four and in those years have annexed two cham- pionships, an idea of the unanimity and sportsmanship of the players can be réalized. With the young players who are now playing in' the public schools league coming along, there is no 'reason why Oshawa should not hold her place in the rugby spotlight in the years to come. * " Ld LJ years The Times was informed on Saturday night that a meeting of all the future of baseball in Oshawa would be held interested in Although many of the prominent players in the city those some time soon, vlaved with Orcse this last summer, they are anxious to have a team pla = right in Oshawa next year. An announcement of the time of the meet- will be in these columns, * * PH » ing carried The Blue Devils were not so far from a Dominion Championship this St, Thomas who defeated the local team won the honours on 21 to 0 from: Ottawa Rangers and had much the same luck Sdturday by 2 with their opponents as Two attempted forward passes by Ottawa were turned into touchdowns by the Yellow Jackets When it is considered that year. they did with Oshawa, who perfected a defense against the play. Oshawa played the Yellow Jackets to a standstill with the exception of two plays, a relative comparison of the ability ot the two teams can be arrived at. " LJ » * The Fast is again supreme in rugby after the overwhelming defeat of the Regina Rough Riders by M.A.AA. on Saturday. The Regina team were just about on a par with the Montreal aggregation along the fine but when it came to he forward pass Warren Sevens stood out Lead and shoulders over Schave and contributed the winning amrgin. Regina were rather unlucky not to score as on severaj occasions they were in a position to score only to have James, their sterling plunger, fumble the ball at a crucial moment. Regina are to be congratplated for their sportsmanship in coming east year after year cven though they have been unable to annex a title single. It was only one instance of the clever backfield's game. Ottawa took to the air almost at once when Pratt's kicks were seen to be falling short. In all they attempted 11 forwards, only three of which were completed and three were intercepted by St. Thomas players. + St. Thomas at- tempted 10 and completed four. The forward pass was not such an important factor in the game | excepting as they were intercept- | ed by the waiting Yellow Jac- kets. Medcalf converted one of them into a majo roscre and Frankie Moore touched another into George Brown's arms, who ran for a touchdown. Rugby Title Won by Montrealers Montreal, Dee, 7. -- Already hallmarked the best in'the East, the Winged Wheelers of Mont- real galloped rough-shod over Regina Rough Riders, the best of the West, in the Dominion senior rugby-football final at Molson Stadium here Saturday, and by their 22--0 victory brought the Grey Cup to Montreal for the first time since 1907. That same uncanny forward passing attack that led the Mont- realers to 13 consecutive victories over eastern teams, proved just as baffling to the prairie players. Bewildered by the swiftness and despatch with which the forward pass was executed when the Wing- ed Wheelers completed the play, the Regina defence was complete- ly disorganized by the threat it constituted. ; The forward pass hanging lik the sword, of Damocles above] their head, the Westerners open- ed up to combat the menace and the Montrealers took adyantage of the gaps and sent a series of crashing plunges and dazzling backfield runs into the breach. Wheelers Outguess Regina A team remarkable for its smartness and general balance, Montreal continppally outguessed tho Regina men and with three touchdowns, a placement kick and four single points completely vanquished a team that though heaten fought stubbornly to the end, » The defeat was a blow to the hopes of Western Canada, Un- beaten in their own country, the Rough Riders came east for thelr sixth annual crusade. Encouraged by the geore of 11-6 by which Balmy Beach outpointed them last Fall, the Westerners dogged- lv tried again this year. Coach Al Ritchie said before.the game that his men "would be in there lighting every minute." They certainly were. " Their su ers -in the West will take pride in the knowledge that the Rough Riders gave ground to nobody in the matter of fighting spirit. Their wing line Was every bit as gi as Mont- real's front rank. Slipping and ding on a frozen and snow- overed gridiron in. weather just x 13 points above zero, Urness, Gilhooley, Carnick, Clarke, Thompson, Grassick, Busch and Warner hunched their shoulders and held their own with that hea- vy line opposite to them. Twice they stood like a stonewall on their own one-yard line and held the Winged Wheelers back, turn- ing aside the touchdown that threatened. Kitchener Fail to Chase Jinx Kitchener, Dec. 7.--Irvin Erb's Greenshirts failed to chase their senior O.H.A, jing of two years' standing here Saturday night when the Niagara Falls Cataracts defeated the Kitchener-Waterloo team in a senior O.H.A. game, 3 to 1. Last year the Greenshirts went through the season without winning a game, and this year, though they have been giving every team without exception a hot battle before howing to de- feat, they have nt been able to win a game, though they did tie the Port Colborne Sailors in a 17-minute overtime game that was halted at midnight owing do it being a Saturday night. They had hoped to turn in their first victory in tw campaigns at the expense of Gene Fraser's young but fast club. The Green- shirts were outscored, but not outplayed, the Cataracts getting the goal that broke a one-all deadlock in the last minute of play in the second period on a lucky break, a "floater," while the third goal came in the final few seconds of play in the third period when the homesters, with four men on the attack endeavor- ing to get the tying goal. left their defence with one man and Kaminsky broke loose to tally. West Toronto Handed Parkdale Bad Lacing Toronto, Dec. 7--Displaying their best form of the season to date, Dr. Mclntyre's West Toronto juniors aualified to meet Marlboros' in the S.P.A, final at the Maple Leaf Gar- dens tonight, by handing Parkdale Canoe Club a 7 to 0 lacing on Sat- urday afternoon. The crimson-garbed youngsters looked 'much improved over their last performance and should go in- to tonight's game favorites to beat the Dukes. They were more ag- gressive, displayed plenty of speed and took full advantage 'of their chances around the goal-mouth. Both teams checked very closely at times, making combination nlav almost impossible, but. the Red Shirts. had a decided edge in stick- handling ability, 'getting 'in on the opposing net consistently. _ Parkdale lacked their usual agres- siveness, but they battled gamelv t.ronghout.
