"THE SHORTER -- BUT THEY WerE SO ATTRACTIVE WHEN THEY WORE SKIRT -- been replaced by a blazing determin- ation to avenge their rout. Their burning energy is being worked out in two hours' practice every day. The line, he says, will show as much interference as Varsity. Hughes who brought Montreal to a high state of efficiency in this department, is working some of those striking Mont- real plays, and the team is taking to 'hem easily, The back division 1s working like a charm, and Harry Batstone will be used to a greater ex- tent than ever. With Batstone, Harding and Lead- ley using their extension plays on a fairly dry fleld, Queen's hope for bet- ter results. Hughes is in full con- trol, and he is driving hard and un- eparingly. There is a rumor going the rounds that Johnny McKelvey may be worked on secondary defence, but this could not be confirmed, but it is said Hughes is anxious to play him there, "Varsity may win, but they will be through a game they will long re: member," he said. IMPERTINENCE. i Queen's may be downhearted but the odds they are asking in King- ston on Saturday's game don't show nt.--Montreal Star. It is expected that another bumper crowd will be on hand to eee the big battle.--Toronto Mail and Empire, In the Ottawa Citizen, Brian Dev- lin suggests that Panama take up snowshoeing, New York farming and Cttawa--football, Oh, what a slam from home. By removing a few words from the photograph in the Mail and Empire of Thursday this statement is pro- duced: 'Queen's, no matter how much they improve thie week in sec- ret practice--can defeat them." Queen's are a much better team than their showing Saturday would indicate but there are signs that everything is not right.--Mafl and Empire, Sure 24 to 1 signs last week, anyway, but there is still Sat- urday to look forward to, Queen's must have good going to suit their fast backfield style of at- tack.--Montreal Gazette. The Varsity Coaches and players are not underestimating the task they have ahead of them at Montreal. -- Toronto Star. . Good luck to Queen's on the mor- row and may 'Billie' Hughes (mul- tiplied by two) never regret that they entrained for Montreal in search of the senior intercollegiate rugby championship. CRIQUI MAY BOX DUNDEE, IN STATES "We will go to the United States the day the featherweight champion- ship situation in Europe is absolutely clear," said Robert Eudeline, man- ager for Eugene Criqui, the boxer, to L'Auto, Paris. Kearns desires to ar- range a bout between Criqui and Johnny Dundee. "So long as a single adversary re- mains who is capable of putting up a claim to Criqui's featherweight championship," Eudeline continued, "we will romain in France. After all the difficulties we have had to win the title from Arthur Wyns, the Bel- glan who was knocked out by Criqui in Paris, Sept. 9th, Matthews is now claiming the crown. Criqui will set- tle that question Dec. 2nd. Then there will be only the winner of tha Frush-Handley bout for Criqui to meet to definitely settle the cham- plonship. / , Series of Golf Sermons. Newark, N.J., Nov. 17.--A series of sermons on golf was announced by the Rev. Francis H. Richie, rector of St. George's Episcopal church, Maplewood. He is an enthusiastic golfer, The sermon which he announces will be delivered from the "home green" includes these "opics: "Follow Through," 'Choose the Right Club," "Improve Your Putting," "What Is Your Record?" "Which Shall It Be-- God or Golf." - OF TREMENDOUS APPEAL. People Thronging Stands to See the Sport. Football is becoming a sport of tremendous public appeal. When five major 'games in fie middle of the season will draw 228,000 specta- tors, there is something to the game. In addition to the spectacle offer- ed by the college atmosphere, the color and the rooting, there is a growing understanding among the fans of the tremendous 'heart" in the players. Mallory, the Yale halfback, one of the greatest defensive players in the game, gave an exhibition of the "gameness'" that makes football in the contest against the Army. Al- though he was carrying seven nice boils and mere motion was the source of terrrific pain, he went into the game just after the start when Scott, his substitute, had been knocked out. Mallory played through the entire game and when the pile cleared he was generally on the bot- tom. Anyone who ever had a boil, any- one who ever played football, knows that they don't come much gamer than that. YRECALLS RUGBY BEGINNINGS. The First Game in the United States Colleges. The first ' gamé ever 'played by Princeton and Harvard pnder Rugby rnles was at Cambridge on April 28th, 1877. It 'was won by the Crim- son. In this game there were fifteen players on a side. The first game in which sides consisted of two elevens was contested .at the Polo Grounds on November 13th, 1880, and ihe Tigers were victorious. It was not until November 18th, 1882, that the two rivals met under anything approaching the modern rules. There was considerable controversy as to the scoring rules and Prince- ton claimed a tie, but the referee, Mr. Watson, of Yale, 'awarded the game to the Crimson. It really was this game which led to the system of scoring by points. In the first bat-| tle under the point system, played in 1883, Alex Moffat kicked four goals "THEM DAYS IS GONE FOREVER" | You not only read it, you sing it. Try it on your piano. Watch nightly for this big Still The Most For The Money FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1922, BADIMIN 10 from the field and Princeton won by a score of 26 to 7. In this game Harvard used the double pass, so it may be seen that even at that time the Crimson attack was based some- what on deception. The only trou- ble was that it didn't deceive in tha manner which it does since being perfected by Percy Haughton. QUEEN'S PROSPECTS GOOD. For| Defeating "Varsity in 'Montreal on Saturday Afternoon. Our good friend, the Ottawa Jour- nal man, writes as follows: Queen's base their hopes of turn- ing the tables on 'Varsity on the fact that there is bound to be a better field to play on in Montreal. Then again Kingston will have a tremen- dous edge when it comes to support in the town of numerous vendors. | The field will be covered with straw and tarpaulins will be stretch-| ed on it in case of rain Friday and tion will be taken to ensure surety of footing, and the field should be two hundred per cent. fgster than the Kingston gridiron was last Sat- urday. Salter Haydon well known as an amateur pitcher several years ago in Ottawa and now a successful law; practitioner in Toronto stated yes-| terday that Queen's simply played| all over Varsity in Toronto. dry field with Harding in his regu- lar place you won't know Queen's at all," he answered. 'Varsity took 12 points via Snyder and Duncan that should have been 'cut off by Queen's. That would have made the score 12 to 1. Add to this 'Harding and a dry field and it should be worth ten points . to Queen's. "Varsity of course is liable to go just as good on a dry field. It should be a real battle all the way, It is a safe bet that Thomas and Walker won't allow themselves to (he drawn in as they were before. These two are beautiful tacklers, and they can hand out the gaff pretty well. Dave McCann and Bob Isbister will have charge of the game. Both are capable officials, and as there is no back talk in the college union usually have an easy time. Varsity Expects Close. Game, Toronto* Star: Grim determina- tion prevails in the Queen's camp, and they hope to do the great come- |back at Montreal qn Saturday, ' and !win the college football champion- ship from 'Varsity. The Toronto collegians anticipate a much harder game than they had at Kingston, and do not intend to be caught napping hey were in the first game in Tor- 'onto. The Blue and White are prac- | tising .faithfully, and will have no excuses if they are beaten, but not a man in the squad expects such a thing to happen. It will be a close, hard game, and it is hoped that the field will be dry so that both teams can perform at their best. Charged With Swindle. | Cornwall, Nov, 17.--Harry Meikle, 'or Miller, is in jail, charged with placing an order for meat for the crews of two fictitious ballast trains ond cashing a worthless cheque for $20 on the strength of the deal. When arrested he possessed capital F the extent of 57 cents, Hospi'ality to the better sort and 'charity to the poor: Two virtues that are never exercised so well as when they accompany each other. Our idea of real suffering is when a woman has such a bid cold that she can't talk. Saturday morning. Every precau- Prairie League Bolstering Teams. The Prairie Province Hockew League has stolen Winnipeg's thund- er and this city, no longer the Mecca of Western hockeyists, has pettled ilown to a stald winter existence.

At Saskatoon is apparently determin- ed to grab off a championship this year and is signing every player worth a trial, There must be a lot of money in the Western city. Calgary is also loading up and the same is true at Edmonton, where "Duke" Keats, the best player in captivity, is getting his Eskimos into line.
