3 5 § THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 13, 1922. CRAPS TO CRICKET QUEER STORIES . FROM MONTREAL { But Little Credence Placed in p paration for their play-off game with the Yarns Here--They Say George Awrey Through. The following ds from the Mont- real Star: Coach Billy Hughes of the M. A. A. A. football team, will be in charge . of the Queen's team this week in pre- Toronto here on Saturday. Coach Hughes went up to Kingston last . Wednesday night in order to help them out of the predicament caused . by Coach Awpey's lilness, but was un- - @ble to do anything more than super- Vise their practices under the rules § they had been used to throughou* ie 2 ¥ £ the season. Having seen them in action on Saturday, he will com- mence a series of driving practises today with the purpose in view of correcting some of 'he glaring weak- nesses on their squad, The M.A.A.A. team has been dis- Playing some wonderful end running in the late season games and Coach Hughes will try and introduce the same system for the trio of fleet half- backs on the Queen's team. A pupil of Frank Shaughnessy's, he is a past master at the art of coaching the Wing Mne and he should be able to do quite a lot in a short time in strengthening their defence. The line has been the glaring weakness on the Tricolor team so far this season ghd, it #t can be reinforced, they should £0 into the contest on even terms with their opponents, It would not be surprising if Coach Hughes were seen in charge of the Queen's team next year. In Kingston over the week-end, rumors were rife that Coach Awrey had handled the Presbyterians for the last timo and that the Montreal man could have the position if he would take it. The business and sporting connections that Coach Hughes has in this oity Are a great attraction to him and it Will be hard to draw him away. In addition, he has spent the whole of the present season in developing a team 'at M.A.A.A. that would be a leading contender for the Big Four GIVE PEARLS for Christmas Every woman is a Pearl lover, and what could you give that would be more ap- preciated than a nice string of Pearls ?

It js no sec- ret that they would llke to have Frank Shaughnessy in charge of their forces, but McGill, with a great lack of football material, realizes that they would be hopelessly out- classed without him and there is lit- tle danger of him leaving the local university. QUEEN'S MAY HAVE BEST LAUGH AFTER ALL What That Ottawa Journal Funny Fellow Has to Say About It. George Awrey, coach of the Tri- cojor, is returning to Richardsén Stadium this week, and his presence ¢here may revive that punch that was so singularly lacking on Satur- day, says the Ottawa Journal. Awrey is coach, boss and everything else when present at the Queen's field, and his driving methods were re- éponsible for the Presbyterians' sen- You not only read it, you sing it. T comic hit.

Awrey was absent on Saturday, and Bill Hughes, a graduate of the Shaughnessy school, directed play from the Queen's bench. The Kingstonlans should naturally show an inconquerable fighting spirit when their mentor was unavoidably absent, but on the contrary they dis- played nothing out of the ordinary. The time honored "two bucks and a kick" were absent, trick plays of any account were not revealed, and the team as a whole displayed about as much pep as the immediate relatives iat a funeral. Whether they have any- [thing in their rugby repertoire, or | the condition of the field called for {straight football, no one knows, but | Queen's will have to display a great [reversal of form next Saturday if {they hope to topple Toronto Varsity form the high pedestal they now oc- cupy.

JACK JOHNSON SAYS HE FEARS LITTLE MEN Jack Johnson, heavyweight box- ing champion once, thinks smaller men are more dangerous than big. He said so during his examination {before Herman Hoffman, referee, to determine if Johnson were served |legally with a sub-poena in supple- nwentary proceedings growing out of the alleged non-payment of a thea- trical contract with Barney Gerard. Nathan Burkan, representing Bar- ney Gerard, asked Johnson if he were afraid of Louis Gerard, who claims to have served the sub-poena. "I'm always afraid of a smaller man," was the reply. "They're more dangerous than the big men, They're cunning. They can run around your legs quicker." One of the Beit. The Toronto Globe publishes a picture of Jack McKelvey and adds: Several of the Queen's players came out on Saturday's game against Un- iversity of Toronto clinging tightly to their reputations as capable play- ers, Not the least of these was John McKelvey, captain of the Tri-color. He played his position at middle wing perfectly, even if the rest ot the line was "smothered." McKel- vey was only fifteen years of age when he played his first senior game. He was used as centre-half and kicker against the 207th Battalion team in 1916, and Queen's won by 6 to 1, How About This? The rules of football say 'hat the ball is dead when on the ground in possession of a player. Even the To- ronto papers have confirmed the statement of those near the goal line that Snyder's sensational touch was obtained by sliding a few feet to the line. Was the ball then not dead outside the Jine? A lot of people would like to know. DON'T LIKE IT. Speaks Disrespectfully of Press Seats Here. The Toronto Telegram, in an edi- tor's note following a Kingston de- spatch says: Snyder's touchdown was earned and was nota fumble and so was that of Somerville's. The onside kick taken by Duncan for a 'ouch was be- cause Leadley made no attempt to catch the ball but permitted it to bounce. In 'he case of Harding, the press box accommodation was ter rible and the writer's view was block- ed by a sea of heads most of the time. Syracuse vs. McGill, As was the case last year the an- nual meeting of the football teams of McGill University and Syracuse Uni- versity provided an excellent oppor- tunity for comparisons of the differ- ent styles of play. The American rlay is supposed to be more open and very. fast, and it was 'his play that the game was staged under. There is one special feature, however, that appears amazing to the Canadian rigskin chasers and that is the weight of the teams on the other side, The average weight of the Syra< cuse team is 177 pounds. The aver- age weight of the line men is 182 pounds and of the backs 169 pounds.
