The best of spirit prevailed * and following out the policy decided | upon earlier in the year the pastim- ers "had their good time in their way" and without any undue frills or turbelows. President James Kane acted as chairman and toastmaster until call- ed away near the end of the pro- gramme and his place was then taken | over and ably filled by Secretary J. i J. O'Nelll. In his opening addres the president thanked the boys for thelr attendance and outlined brief the work of the past'season.

FAVORED BY MGILL | Extra Official for Intercollegi- | ate Rugby Games Among Few Suggestions. From a study of Canadian Inter- collegiate Rugby Football games played this season, MeGill University football leaders generally have expressed the opinion that the play during the 1923 schedule was more open and more satisfactory to both players and spectators than it has been in the past, but at e same time will likely have several suggestions for changes in the code for 1924. Increase of the three-yard inter- | ference limit to five yards from touch Ifne to touch line will be the most important alteration probably to be advocated. A uniform penalty rule of 10 yards and loss of a down for all offences excepting those governing the rule for yards or a kick; a change in the rule regarding blocked kicks and fumbles to give the ball in every case to the side which recovers it; a tightening of the rule regarding fair catches, and the appointment of another official to stand behind the defending team to watch for holding and other fllegal play are suggestions that have been drawn up following a canvass of the leading players ana graduates as to their ideas. Referring to the more open play seen in the Intercollegiate this sea- son, the draft of the suggestions points out that during the fall Coach Shaughnessy carried a staff of three, whe kept a detailed summary of the games, 'which' showed the fol- lowing Interesting comparisons: In the final game of the Inter- collegiate played at Toronto be- tween McGill and University of To- ronto, 208 plays were used by the two teams. Sixty-eight 'were kicks, 66 end runs, and the remainder bucks. It Is considered by the Mec- Gill leaders that any game with 134 plays made up of end runs and kicks should be open enough to satisfy the most fastidious. Mile. Lenglen Billiardist. It will be a surprise to many to learn _that Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen of France, woman tennis champion of the world, is about to try for the highest honors in billiards. All who know of her wonderful success at tennis believe that with her keen sight, athletic talent and admirable all-round qualities, she will excel with the ivories, just as she has ex- celled on the tennis courts. She is one of the first of the many women who have made their mark at golf and tennis to take up billiards, with a view to winning a championship at it as she has at tennis. In fact, from this forward Mile. Lenglen de- clares she will devote her recreation hours between tennis and billiards. | monton were weak.

Fraser held his own in the kicking exchanges, and good line plunging kept the balance of power in favor of the challengers. Queen's, however, came to life in the last half and had much the better of the argument, winning by 13 to 1. If the Regina players are the star tacklers that their admirers say they are, they will be strong where Ed- The big fellows on the Eskimo {team were no world the Queen's open field attackers. Toronto fans know what Queen's can do and they realize that the Westerners are in for a very active afternoon. With Leadley and Bat- stone carrying the ball on the exten- sion plays, Regina will have a hard time on the defensive. Coach Bill Hughes plans to use several players he discarded in the game against Tigers, and Regina, knowing noth- ing about these, will suffer accord- ingly. Batstone and Leadley should give the crowd many thrilling mo- ments. Johnny Evans, Karl Quinn, Bill Campbell and Ken MoNelll will be making their farewell appearance in the Tricolor uniforms and, perhaps, in football. They will, therefore, put forward a great effort to make the farewell a fitting one. Evans and Campbell say that the game against Regina is the last that they will ever play. Thus three stars who did their part to put Queen's on the top after long years of {ll-fortune will be lost to the 'gridiron' sport. Queen's wing line at its weakest is nothing wonderful, at its strongest it does not outclass the Ottawa, Tiger, Argonaut and McGill front line. Next Saturday it will get #ts acid test. Those heavy Regina line-plung- ers are said to be more effective than those who represented Edmonton. Last fall Queen's sprang one of the surprises of the season by more than holding their own in wing line play against the Eskimos, but an Edmon- ton official said that the Westerners were handicapped because they dis- carded their best interference, being under the erroneus impression that it was fllegal. The last-minute de- cision hurt Edmonton's chances. In the West they think that "Scotty" McEachern, Regina's star 'punter, is at least the equal of Harry Batstone or "Pep" Leadley. They claim that he is as good a ball car- rier as either of the Queen's stal- warts, and that he can outkick Lead- ley. If he can he is a wonder, as Batstone is the best backfield player in the East, and Leadley is right on his heels for the honors: They form a perfect combination, with each player unselfish. McEachern might possibly be almost the equal of either but he certainly will have a busy afternoon outplaying the both of them. This 200-pound middle wing Re- gina is introducing to Eastern foot- ball fans is no false alarm. His name is Rennebohn, and he is captain and star plunger for the Western cham- pions.

It is reported that all of the teams are satiefled with the interference rules as used during the season now about to close. It is pleasing to learn that somebody is satisfied with the rules.
