But in junior leompany it is different--decided- Jy difterent. And by no stretch of the imagination could it be said Grads were much the best im Saturday. They may have n. two points better. But on a field the result could quite fly have been different. e Maroons, some of whom paid a good share of their expenges in order to make trip East, stepped into the fouted Woodstock squad, scored the first seven points in he first period, were outscored in the second, went into the lead in the third, and then saw their two- point lead wilt away before the termined drive of the Grads, t it was a great game, a fight- game and a clean game, for was not a single penalty a- of t Toronto, Dec, 11.--The Natlon- al Soccer League, Western Sec- tion, held its annual meeting in the Walker House on Saturday. When a full atendance of club representatives was recorded, President W, Evans reviewed the past season, which. was a some- what trying one, but predicted greater success in the coming ar. Ys Mr. Tom Holland, President of the Dominion F.A. and of the T. and D. Association, was the guest speaker at the afternoon session. Mr, Holland touched on several important phases of the soccer sit- uation, stressing the importance of co-operation between, the Na- tional League and the various oth- er associations under the local jurisdection. Len Peto, President of the lea- gue proper, who was unable to be present, sent a lengthy tele- gram regretting his absence, and admonishing the Eastern moguls to sink all adverse diffierences in the interests of the game as 4a whole. During the past season the lea- gue registered 167 players. The Treasurer reported a balance of $29.22 in the general fund and a jured Players' Fund. The dele- gates went oll record as approv- ing the various expenditures, and tendered a hearty vote of thanks to the officers responsible for the league's good standing, which is considered fair in view of the pre- sent depressing times. With a view to raising the stan- dard of play, the directors decid- ed to invite applications from clubs desirous of forming a sec- ond section of the league, and a committee of three ahs been ap- pointed to encourage this branch of activities. The meeting went on record as adopting the promotion, and re- legation principle, but for the 1932 season T.T.C. and C.N.R. the two bottom elevens---will re- main in the first section, In future a committee of three shall have charge of the league management, and said eommittee shall report periodically to the di- rectors. The office, of Secretary and Treasurer will in future be merg- ed into one under the charge of George McBain, the former Sec- retary. The following directors were elected to office: W.

A crowd of 77,000, that all but the over- flowed the big ball park, gasped at the swift changes of fortune, roared first with the Regiment, then the Corps, on a day that was warm as early autumm, Charity and the cause of the unemployed that brought the two service elevens together last year for the first time after a break of four years, profited by about $375,000, The total for charity is expected to he $325,000 after de- duction of expemses. : Ed Herb, bulky substitute full- back, made both of Army's touch- downs on short plunges, and Tra- vis Brown, an Alabama youngster, playing his first year in the Cadet backfield, kicked the 1-yard fleld 0al that started the scoring, but was Stecker who paved the way 'by keeping the Cadet attack in m A Joe Tschirgi, one of Navy's backfield aces, scored the Mid- en's touchdown on a for- © J} ward pass from Lou Kirn. 2 rr ---------------------- Householders are now hoping for the best, but preparing for 'the burst, ---- Montreal Star,* 8 sum of $168.54 in the Glebe In- | Rangers Beat | City Rivals New York, Dec. 14.--The New York Rangers scored their second victory of the National Hockey League season over their local rivals, the Americans, last night. The score was 2 to 1, The Rang- ers, scoring in the first period, had a slight edge in the hard game up to the middle of the final frame, when the Americans gain- ed a tie, only to fall behind a few minutes later. Although there were several rough spots, only seven minor penalties and a major to Ching Johnson were ju- flicted, Johnson's penalty was for tripping to prevent a score, Bill Cook scored the first Ranger tally, slapping a shot into an open goal, while Roy Worters, American goaler, was lying on the ice under Ching Johnson, who had taken the puck down. Boucher passed to Cook for the shot. George Patterson evened the score on a pass from Billy Burch in 12.44 of the third per- fod, flipping in a neat backhand- er from a scrimmage. The win- ning shot was a long one from Art Somers' stick which Worters apparently did not zee until too late. | Sport Snapshots is being made in the Curling Rink t frst » will be in shape for th games » It is annual pr hoped to hold the season drawn up the the fact that along the lake shore has impression that some of the clubs | Whitby, a t authoritati Notwithstanding been issu not operate teams. but from the the town, no teat | inermediate | | A 14 tand Falcons. mo 1) county class report eminatis Bill J "Butch" Forle wee who played here Ja , who opera Adams of the says, and expects to close the deal s * * ferred with Jack The Toronto Maple Leafs conti on Saturday night and took the D The at hockey in enough lead to w The feature of the game wa the third forward line, while Leats played gre in out even ; n the the al mn the we for a g se SPORTS CLUBS IN BRITAIN FACING FINANCIAL LOSSES One English First Division Club Has Dropped Out of Football League London, England. While the ish sport continue to draw fine patronage so many clubs, espec- fally those devoted to football and cricket, are in financial difficulties that unless remedies are found quickly there is a serious possi- bility of a collapse. If profession- al football and ericket clubs were compelled to sell up many would be found bankrupt, Wigan, the English Football League club, have gone out; Derby County, an English First Division club, have issued a serious warning of what will happen if there is not better support, To-day there are two First Division clubs whose liahil- ities are more than $300,000, their assets--grounds, stands and estimated value of players--are not comparable with dhat figure, Every week things are getting worse, Gate receipts do not meet charges, Two football matches brought In $3,500, expenses ex- ceeded $4,000. Clyde, the Scottish League First Division football elub, have made it plain that at the end of this season, unless there is a great change for the better they will have reached the end of thelr tether, Hamilton Academicals drew $325 from their home game and the following Saturday, when they were at home to Dundee United, the receipts amounted to only $140, Leith Athletic took on- ly $160 in a home match. clubs have to pay their one hundred pounds, some idea of the seriousness of the position will be gained. Every football club, too, faces a coming "close" season with big sums to pay in wages when noth- ing is coming in, Turning to cricket, almost every county club last season lost at least $8,000. To ease the situation the Advisory Committee of the M.C.C. has agreed to a reversion to the percentage systein of de- ciding the county champlonship. Instead of all counties having to Play the same number of matches they can in 1933 suit themselves according to their means, so long as they keep to a minimum of 214 games, !

Though overseas squads bave improved apace in the last de- cade, due to capable coaching and increasing ice-facilities, impartial observation leads only to the con- clusion that the hockey invasions from across the Atlantic will be repelled. ' For the first time since Olym- pic hockey tests began in 1920, Furope's sextettes must make an ocean trip to the Games, Again they face the heavily-favored ex- cellence of the Canadian team, so far always victor in the Olympic fray. Besides, they must tackle a highly-improved: United States entry on home ice, The task is too great, The obvious impossibility of success for European hockeymen, plus the heavy cost of transport- ing ten or a dozen men across the sea, may decrease the entries in the Lake Placid tourney. Even the eternal craving for Olympic honors cannot wipe out the real- | ization of the high-score shut- | outs imposed by Canada on the best European teams at the 1928 games, Entries close on December 24, Germany has the best overseas team, in the opinion of Ward Mc- Vey, rambling defence star of the Manitoba Varsity Grads team which toured the continent un- defeated less than a year ago. Numerous stars have been pro- duced, he says, on the broad stretches of artificlal-ice surface at Berlin, But no ensemble could he gathered to match the high- class amateur teams on this side. Tutored by Dr. Blake Watson, team-mate with McVey on the | touring Grads team as well as on the Canadian championship Manitoba Varsity crew of 1928, Czecho Slovakia"s hockey squad rates next to Germany's, In order then, Mcley places Austria, Switzerland, Poland and France. He mentions that continental teams are s0 closely matched that many international games end in tie 'decisions, England's hockey teams are not | In the same class with those across the channel, believes Mc- Vey. Lack of ice in Britain is a handicap which has proved insur- mountable and competent play- ers have rarely been developed. Not one of the continental teams can match the fighting-spirit of the English players, McVey men- ions, but playing ability is sad- ly lacking. Dr. Watson, who still plays and coaches as he continues his medical studies overseas, has found that European players learn rapidly. "When I first came to Austria five or six years ago," he says, *'I found it an easy mat- ter to run up unine or ten goals the previous mark established by George Burns of the Cleveland Indians in 1926, Another Yankeo star, outfield- er Ben Chapman, crowded into the list of select performers by stealing 61 bases, the best mark s!nco Cobb collected 96 in 1915 as well as scoring 120 runs and driving in the same number.

A crowd is excess of 75,000 saw the Southerners suffer their first real rout in many years. The powerful Trojans, off to a flying start with a touchdown 'in the first three minutes of play. and another before the game was te muinutes old, pushed the fast, but light players from ixie all a- round the lot, and seemed to be able to score almost any time they chose. Georgia fought courageously, but the Bulldogs had' no chance from first to last. It was Georgia's last game of the season, but Southern Califor- nia 'has another football engage- ment, the tournament of Roses in the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, against Tulane, Southern Conference champions, New Year's Day. The winners today scored two touchdowns in the first period, three in the second and two each in the last two. The game was rst nine half minutes of dlave single-handed in a game; now it is a difficult matter to score twice or three times in a game." Europe, however, is looking for learning and calling on Can- ada for coaches, In the last couple of months, two players from Winnipeg, both members of the touring Grads team of 1931, bave journeyed overseas, Frank Morris, centreman, is now coach- fug and playing for a team in Switzerland; and Art Puttee, who played goal for championship |c Manitoba Varsity teams of 1925 [a and 1928, is at Biarritz, France, The final at Lake Placid wili | bring Canada and the United States into battle, according to | McVey's guess, He thinks that the Boston Hockey Club, beaten early this year 2 to 0 in the world | tourney at Krynica, Poland, is an indication of strength of Ameri- can teams, Varsity Grads had to work hard to oust Boston in the final, and Canada will have to step to down United States at Lake Placid, says MeVey---but he feels sure, barring the tough- est of breaks, they can do it. 1 w T p zi p $ p LL Ol HARDWARE TRADE | HAS TRYING YEAR "Worst Past," Says Head | ' it | Annual Meet Montreal, -- but reflecting the experience of the rest of the world" is sident B.
