H.A junior double-header at Var- sity Arena and the Students' noble effort in beating West Tor- onto 3 to 1, Marlboros are now ulone in first place in their group standing. Both contests were ine teresting and while they bordered on shinny at times, the wild shin and chin clipping only lent spice to the entertainment, The Studets' win came rather as a surprise, for they had gone winless so far, and West Toronto on the other hand, had not yet been turned back, The losers were inclined to open up, but their inclinations in this diree- tion were severely snubbed by stubborn back-checking by the Vareity forwards and a decided turn for the better in the defen- sive strength of the Collegions. Smith Still Leads Scorers Montreal, Dec, 22, - occupying the cellar position among teams of the Canadian Section of the National Hockey League, Montreal Maroons cou- tinue to show the way from a scoring standpoint, both coilec- tively and individually, according to official figures issued last night from the offices of Frank Calder, president of the National Hockey League, R. J. (Hooley) Smith, right- winger of the Maroons' leading forward line, widened his mar- gin on points among the individ- ual scorers last week: His five goals and eleven assists total up to 16 points, giving 'him a one- point margin over "Bill" Cook, right wing of the New York Ran- gers. Maroons' supremacy, from a goal-getting standpoint, has been established largely through the efforts of Trottier and Stewart. While Smith has amassed points in a play-making role, Trottier has been scoring goals. He has 10 to his credit and three assists Stewart has the same number of points, 8 goals and 5 assists. Charlie Conacher, Toronto Leafs' right-winger, leads both these Maroons, having scored 13 goals, the greatest number of any play- er in the league.

Broom, starting with a lead of 94 chips, was going great guns, increasing his advantage to 170 chips, - And then McEachern suddenly took the place of Weber, He won every hand but two in the final 25. The battle ended with the "Klondyke" system the winner by 22 chips.

With misanthropic hardihood, the man, William Howell, 79-yean-old wheel- wright, lived alone in a dilapidated hovel, under the floor of which re- latives found more than £130, hid- den in rusty tin cans. The exist- ence of some such hoard was first suspected when the cottage was found to be guarded by a primitive burglar-alarm system, A nephew of the miser, visiting his retreat, found the door guarded by a tangle of wires, In the middle of the maze stood a dummy watch- man, a life-size scarecrow, which in the darkness looked cxactly like a man "We did not know that there was anvthing of value in the place," he said, "but the ingenious protective system aroused our suspicions and we decided to make a search. Look- ing around, we found the floor of one room covered with apples, with a number of rat traps set around, here and there. The walls seemed solid so we looked at the floor. Some of the floor boards were loose, and we raised them, Underneath, hidden in piles of broken glass and rubbish, we found several rusty tins, with the covers wired on. Some of the tins were full of half-crowns, others of two-shilling pieces and notes." In addition to his buried treasure, the recluse was found to have had more than £500 in a nearby bank, and to have owned two other cot- tages at Ringmer, STUDENTS APPEAL FOR WORLD PEACE Delegation Headed by Mec- Gill Men Will Meet Prime Minister Montreal, Dec. 21.--~Carrying a pe- tition bearing the names of more than 10,000 university students throughout Canada, some 15 stu- dent delegates headed by H.
