You not only read It, you sing it. Try it on your piano. Watch nightly for this big "RAP THIS ON YOUR RADIATOR." Queen's in their need remains as | much a mystery in this city as it was a week ago today. Lagt week a prominent member of Queen's Ath- letic Board told the 'Whig that ar- rangements were complete to have the great athletic mentor here at the beginning of this week but so far, un- Jesse he has kept mighty close, Shaughnessy has not turned up around the Limestone City. The Queen's authorities yesterday they could give out no statement. They would not say whether or not "Shag." 'would be here, although, strange to say, papers outside Kingston seemed to know all about it. : The Montreal sheets state merely that Coach Shaughnessy was not abie tc accede to the request to the Tri- color to help them out, From some quarters come stories that Varsity cbjected to the procedure and others state that McGill would not release him for service at Queen's. However, in the present mixup and excitement in intercollegiate rugby affairs the only course is to '*be from Missouri" and believe what you eee. It would not be any great surprise to see Frank Shaughnessy on the Richardson Stadium ai any time, nor would it be a surprise if he failed to appear. For some reason the Queen's proceedings have been shrouded in secrecy ever since the game with Varsity in Toronto. What the reason is, or why such a team should fear publicity as to any of its moves is another of the unsolved mysteries. The defeat of a crack rugby team by an overwhelming score on their own ground may also hinge on all these mysterious moves and shifts. But we will not play Sherlock Holmes. Let's all wait and see what turns up and just hope for the best for the Tri-color. OTTAWA VIEW OF IT. Queen's Must Get a New Batch of Line Plays. The Ottawa Journal has the fol- lowing about the big game: No alibi could prevail in the face of the score, and those who saw the game could scarcely credit Queen's with anything strategic but tho time honored one buck and a kick game. Their two buck attack was usually a McKelvey charge on an iron ram- part that fairly broke the big fellow in two as he tried to smash his way through. Queen's were probably a litle too cocky at the start. The loss of Hard- fog which broke up their running passing game, the slippery field, and above all the, astonishing improve- ment in Varsity's play were mainly responsible for the lobsided score. It was Queen's line that, however, was the weak department of the team. From enap to outsides they Were played oft their feet and even the indomitable McKelvey failed to show any of his tremendous line gaining smashes with consistency. 'Queen's faults lay not so much with the players as with their plays. They had no line plays of any ac- count, and their wobbling back field had no chance to work its famous ex- . tension play with Harding out of ac- tion. Their rapier like attack was blunted by the adroit manner in which Duncan seemed to divine every move. Time atier time Duncan cail- od expected Queen's plays and in most cases he was right. . Queen's never got going gud Varsity never stopped going. Unless the' Tricolor &8U a batch of line plays, and can afford their backs better protection thah they did Saturday, the result of the play-off will be a Varsity victory.

Ottawa, generally speaking, still hopes Queen's will win. PREPARATIONS FOR MONTREAL PLAYOFF Queen's Will Qive Out Nothing Concerning Shaughnessy --Practise Yesterday. This week will eee the Queen's rugby squad working so hard that they will have little time to do any- thing but look after their training and practise. They will not be given the sort of work that wiil have ¢hem played out at the end of the week but it is safe to say that each man will be kept busy correcting any defects and improving his style of play in his own particular position. : There are no delusions floating around the Queen's headquarters about the Varsity outfit. They know that they are up against the toughest proposition they have ever tackled. They knew it before they 'went on the field on Saturday last. But what is the glorying of defeating a team without any trouble? If Queen's win next Saturday they will do so after a battle that will go down In rugby history. If they lose --and they are not talking that way ~--then they will see to it that the battle will be historic anyway, and there is always another year to look forward to, unless this old planet bumps into that new one they have Just found and just naturally disap- pears. Of course there is the inevitable current talk still going strong dn the city and the barber shop and street car experts have doped the whole thing out in about a thousand dif- ferent ways, but the Queen's players are much too busy to give a though: te it. The disaster of Saturday is a thing of the dim past and all that can be discussed Mes in the future. ' Jt is a great spirit this, and, as our esteemed friend M. J. Rodden remarks in the Taronto Globe: "The Queen's men are 'game' and 'game' men perform unusual feats." {post MORTEM EpoRTs) Here are a few of the advance guard of the remarks on the Varsity- Queen's flasco on Saturday last. Let's start with the least encour- aging. The first of these is by "Mike" Rodden in the Toronto Globe: "Outside the Tricolor camp there is little confidence that they will come through in the playoff. They showed not an atom of reason today for any such conclusion." However, he ends up with the little remark about "game'" men quoted elsewhere--a mighty timely remark. Michael will never lose the Queen's spirit from has blood. Toronto Globe: "Queen's epinit will not down. On Saturday night the students held their scheduled parade and did not seem to have a care in the world--."? Toronto Globe: '"'Queen's is rely- on straight football but the other teams have advanced a long way." Toronto Globe: "On bis show in Kingston Warren Snyder ig the best (backfield man in Canada." --- gn Toronto Globe: "Harry Batstone is still as brainy a player as ever, but his support is shaky and he is not being used enough." And then the Mail and Empire chimes in with striking mildness, al- though sill badly misinformed on some matters, with the following: "Saturday's game was the first time in two season that Harry Bal- istone has been on a losing team in a championship game. The red top played a strong game and paid no attention to the razzing of the Var- sity supporters." : : "The best laid plans of mice and men, etc. Queen's students had plan- ned celebrations for Friday and Sat- unday nights. The rain prevented the Friday evening affair, and the Blue and White simply wiped Satur- day evening's affair off the boards, BRINGING UP FATHER It's rather too bad that only one paper in Toronto, the Globe, should have an accurate ante-game, game and post-game report of the whole affair. They all had equal chances, aud enough wires, goodness knows. From the Montreal Gazette comes and interesting liitle piece that is rather hard to '"'dope." It reads: '"'Queen's showing against Varsity was anything but what they are cap- able of, even granting the grounds were not suitable to their type of play. The team lacked fight. Un- qQuestionably things have not been going well in the Queen's camp dur- ing the past few weeks." Another evidence of the great love borne Kingston by Lou Marsh, whose laborious efforts to be funny make Toronto people buy the papers some- times, may be found in his advance gtory. We leave it to the hotel-keep- ers if Lou is right about this: "Kingstoniang did not like the idea of Varsity staying out of town until this morning. They think it is a slight on the town, because it leak- ed out that some Varsity wag had re- ported that the reason that the play- ers slept in Relleville last nighf was that they wanted to woo Morpheus instead of chasing bed-bugs, as Var- sity did in Kingston last . season. That's an awful slam."--Lou Marsa in Toronto Star. is the most unkindest cut of all," Lut there was one little thing of mutual satisfaction to both Kingston and Toronto on Saturday and that was the red poppy that appeared in both Varsity and Queen's supporters' ribbons in memory of Armistice Day. Newsy Lalonde, well-known pro- fessional lacrosse and hockey play- er, recently transferred to the Sask- atoon Hockey Club, ,is to receive from that club the sum of $4,500, or at the rate of $450 a week, for his services as manager and coagh of the team. It takes more than a million ecy- phers to make one unit. After that, it might be said: "This | Still The Most For The Money RING-LETS. ~ontmg 3 The ban imposed a month ago on Jack "Kid" Wolfe by the New York Eoxing Commission, has been lifted.

Mondt secured the first fall after a half hour, Lewis the second after another thirty minutes end the third in two minutes.
