CRICKET WEDNESDAY, DEC. 6, 1922 - BADMIN1O Ww TO BOXING THE OTTAWA JOURNAL DEFENDS QUEEN'S ACTION In Insisting That Final Be Played in Kingston--Praises Queen's Backbone. The Ottawa Journal has the fol- lowing: Toronto sport writers are berating Cueen"s for falling to play the game in the Queen City, and Kingston scribes retorted with a broadside a Hogtown that will make them think a bit. . - A rather unpleasant/ incident is#e- ported by Lou Marsh, of the Toronto Star, who claims that Manager Moe | Lieberman, of the Elks, was ve peeved over the failure of Queen's authorities to meet the train' when they arrived at the Limestone City The verbal hroadsides thut are bs- ing poured forth by the Kingstim ar- tillery will'nio doubt se¢hd 'the iQuéen Clty die-barde Into state of frenzy Toronto. is adopting th@eip old tactics of belittling the claims of igthers, 'when their own stately city is in the market for big contests Having tried to take a round oft ot King- ston, they are being mef with sharp thrusts on all sides, (Queen's took a chance on the gama last Saturday They took a chance on guaranteeing the Fdmonton team $4,000, which was more than the Toronto-controlled Canadian Rugby Unlon was prepared 10 do, and in their capacity of East- ern Canadian champions showed rare backbone in refusing to, meet *he au- tocratic request that the game be played in the Queen City.

The trip of the Eskimos proved a | failure in 'many ways. First, their showing in the game was anything but spectacular, and, with Queen's displaying little interest in the gama | It proved of a calibre far below what i might be expected in a final titular strugle. Added to the mediocre play, there was considerable discon- tent shown by the Edmonton man- agement who were disgruntled over the selection of the officals. Aga'n, they objected to what they claimed was running interference in the part of the Queen's lowed. The interference objected to was that subtle play that has baen in evidence all season in the east and which has never been called by the officials due to the fact that it was difficult to determine just where the lawful play ended and the interfer- ence began. The officials of the western club were also keenly disappointed at having to play the game at King- ston. They prepared to leave Ed- monton in the expectation of playing at Toronto, and were in hopes of making more than their expenses at the Queen City, while the guarantee received from the game at Kingston | did not quite cover thelr expenses. It is reported that "Bud" Thomas, Queen's rugby star, received a solid vote from Levana, the ladies' organi- zation, when running for A.M.8. com- mitteeman, Perhaps that "Oh, Bud," squeal at the Outer Station a few weeks ago was echoed by many others. Presley Mcl.eod and Oran Carson were elected by acclamation. Thus two more members of the squad romped into office in the student gov- ernment.

OTTAWA'S SUMMARY Of the Successful Season of the Queen's Football Team. py Ottawa Qitizen It is worthy of note that on the season's play the Tri-color total of points scored is far below that of teams in other lnops which finished lower down, Their records are no* nearly #0 impressive as the marks set up by Argos, Varsity, Parkdales, or even Tigers, But they were consist- ent; and the largest total amassed by them in any one game was against McGill, when they scored twenty against ten. Their next highest was fifteen, and the remainder of their scores were all below that mark. But that matters little from any { other than a record point of view, be- cause undoubtedly and undeniably they are Domindon champions by right of a stubborn and consistent fight throughout their whole playing season, Their big fight for the hon- ors startdd when they commenced their intercollegiate schedule on the road with the first game in Montreal, They took the red and white handtly, and never let up ti} the final whistle blew on Richardson Stadium last Sa'- urday, Their record for the season is now common talk and meeds no further enlargement. Suffice to say that they played consistently, and only one bad bame mars their winning Yet. That was when they got rid of that bad game that is bound to come to every team, and were wiped al over the Kingston enclosure by Sny- der a¥d his tribe on Armistice Day. A 19 to 2 trimming administered by the Tigers in an exhibition game cannot be taken too serfously, as they were meeting Varsity in Toronto the following Saturday and did not worry about the exhibition score. Much of the credit mu go to Ghorge Awrey who relinquish the command of the squad throu iH- ness on the eve of the disastrous game with Varsity in Kingston, but too much cannot be said of the work of his successor, Billy Hughes, the iM.A.A.A. 'coach, Awrey took com- mand of Queen's a year ago and col- lected the finishing touches to the great squad that today holds highost title in Canadian rugby cir- cles, mem 1 | man who whinped the nucleus of a igreat team down to their real fight- ing ability and kept them there through the terrific strain of the past four weeks, and brought them out at the end of the gruelling with colors flying. It 8s no rumor to state tha: things were not running as smoothly as could be in the Tri-color camp when Hughes took command, and the word came direot from one of Can- ada's greatest ooaches that the tknowledge possessed by some of the Queen's linemen was lamentable On the other hand, Hughes is the | BOB SKATER for i THE KIDDIES A cure for weak ankles.
