THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ~ SPORTING GENERAL REVIEWS MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1928, . TIMELY COMMENTS QUEEN'S STARTED SEASON WITH VICTORY: MCGILL STARTED WELL BUT SOON WILTED - Hughes, McGill Haif-Back, f Sensations of Rather and Johnnie Evans, of Queen's, Ragged Game--Tricolor Look Good for Season's Work. (By Whig Staff Reporter.) Queen's on Saturday afternoon de- feated McGill 24-3 at the Percival . Molson Stadium and started their Season with a comfortable win, but the game as far as football is con- cerned was not particularly brilliant. For the first few minutes Shau- ghnessy's pack looked like a million dollars but as soon as Johnny Evans started to drive his men at their work the Red and White faded and ~ only Hughes, the former R.M.C. boy, remained outstanding. Hughes sur- prised even those who promised great things for him when he played With RM.C. and with a few more good men to back him up would make McGill real contenders this sea- son. There are a great many of us who" owe Johnny Evans apologies for what we thought of his outlook for this season. The general idea' was that he would not take football very seriously this year but there are few games, even considering the great battles of last season in which he has starred so conspicuously. He swung Into Saturday's battie with the ease of a professional broncho buster starting on a favorite mount. The first few minutes, while the Me- GIIN team was doing its "stuff" he spent quietly sizing things up, and then, when it became plain that quick action 'was necessary, he start- ed driving the Tricolor and shoved them on up the fiodd for the begin- ning of their long list of scores. Nor did he leave all the work to his team- mates, but on several occasions used bis own special hesitation play to . 800d effect. During the last quarter he ventured to protest 'to Isbelster about some decision and was ban- ished for the remainder of the game. Baldwin, while handling the team. also looked decidedly promising. The players did not give him the same re- sponse as they gave their regular Quarter but as they become more ~ @ocustomed to him he will be a hard one to beat. Leadley, of éourse, played his usuai brilliant game and Batstone Was good, although he has turned out much better showing when oc- cagions demanded--and there was no need to travel extra fast. Of the backfield players, Mundell provided the surprise with his wonderful run- formed until they are in a close bat- tle. Adams, wlea used at middle wing. made sore good gains and the tach!ing of Welker, Thomas, and Pond left nothing to be desired. Walker, until he was knocked cold by a blow on the head, was diving with an abandon that never failed to get the man. B)nl looks better this year than he has ever been and can be used at any time without fear. He solved® the problem of Getting Hughes on Saturday by his fast hip- high tackle and with his spced can overtake about anything there is in the intercollegiate union. On Satur- day he had a slight tendency to be a Mttle tco anxious to get away, but that is a good fault and with a little correction will but make him the more effective. Delehay and Thomas are the only casualties and they are but slightly hurt. Thomas has a bruised Jeg and Delehay a rather sore dome from a jolt that gave him a few minutes of blankness but they will both be at top form again in two or three days. "Doc" Campbell and "Press" Mec- Leod, two old reliables, were right on the job. Neither of these players is spectaculdm but those who know the different moves appreciate how effective they are in clearing the way for ball carriers, stopping opposing plays and generally gathering In loose ends. They are the "efficiency" experts of a well-balanced machine. Gilbert McKelvey was used for quite long periods and made good in his first game in senior company. The hopes of Coach Hughes of mak- ing an outside of Kem. MoNeill are no idle dream. The big boy is im- proving all the time. What Shaughnessy thinks of his team after Saturday's match is hard to say but it can safely be said that they will be a hard bunch to down as the season progresses. Any team with Hughes behind its line and that eagerness to go that the Red and White showed so many times will im- prove greatly and it will be a differ- ent match when the Shagmen come to Kingston. At about 2.20 the teams lined up as follows: Queen's, Flying wing. McGin. Norris Murphy Campbell Batstone Halves, ning catches and prompt and long re- turns.

When David Lloyd George arrived in Montreal shortly after nine on Saturday evening he evidently did not know that he had a rival for the attention of the citizens of Canada's metropolis. Nor did Queen Boohoo, the justlyfamed Queen's mascot, show any signs of recognizing the presence of the great statesman. Eoth went their respective ways and the people of Montreal smiled and cheered for both as they passed. So runs popular favor. The MeGill students, in homor of the opening game, had great prepara- tions made and carried them out well. The rooters lined' up opposite the McGill Union and marched to the Evans, just a few minutes after, was | | party" and the squad embarked on! mystic contortions, brought forth a worthy volame of sound from his comparatively small band of Queen's supporters. The teams took their positions and the Union Jack was raised and "God Save the King" given by the stu- dents' band. The whistle blew, up flew the pigskin, and the boys from the Limestone City started their quest of a 1923 rugby title. After the matoh many beautiful Montreal damsels would fain have played with Boohoo--while the play- ers looked on in great envy of their pvet--but Trainer Hughes reluctantly | called a halt to the proposed "petting Building Blocks, Bricks MANUFACTURER OF HIGH GRADE CONCRETE BLOCKS, CE- and Sand MENT BRICKS, LINTELS, SILLS, BASE COURSE, PIER CAPS, ETC.

Into the lobbies and rooms of the Mount Royal streamed many Queen's under- | graduates and graduates and it was | the old old story of many friends re- united, a great opening for another great season and then some more Queen's yells. Up in the training room little Billy Hughes dragged out two! mouthorgans and went in search of the coach, for "W.P." had promised to parade down ft.

The boys approved of the idea ' and the procession started, with & Hughes and Hughes in a harmonious duet and Boohoo leading the pageant with the manner of a conqueror. Then Montreal forgot Lloyd George and rendered homage to, Boohoo. Traffic stopped while Irish policemen grinned in their own language and passed amused comment in French. Along the street the happy little pro- cession went and then up to the Mec- Gill Union where a banquet was ten- dered to the Queen's boys, with Sir University, in the chair.
