MORE Westerners Offer Poor Opposition to the Tricolor: Regina Not a Good Intermediate Te. Machine--Score of '54-0 Typical of the Play--Queen's Players on a Scoring Rampage With Touches As Thick As Players. (By Whig Stall Reporter.) Toronto, Dec. 1. The Dominion champions rest once more ipon the mud-bespattered brows of Queen's University's unbeaten foot- ball squad. To-day, in a game tnat was only saved from being burlesque | by the precision of the Queen's plays and their beautiful work in every de- pbartment, Regina, much-heralded 'Western champions, formed the other name on registered 54-0 for the eastern cham- plons. It was a farce--and a terrible one. Toronto fans, many of them hoping to seo the mighty Tricolor humbled, turned out about 8,000 strong, and remained only to laugh at the ludicrous attempts of Regina to make headway against one of the 8reatest teams of Canadian football history. Even when the first ended with Queen's leading twenty points, they continued to hope that the westerners would show, some of that legendary great- mess which has been wafted east by enthusiastic press agents, but in tie | latter half, with substitutes of Queen's all in use, thirty-four more | points piled up. to snap-back, From flying wing from touch-line the final blast, the crowd from the prairies were outplayed.

Cadets' Good Showing. The cadets of the Royal Military College have certainly made a cred- itable showing this season, and if they play the same class of game, it Is quite likely that Kingston will have the honor of having both the Dominion senior and intermediate rugby championships this season. Major Greenwood, staff adjutant of the College, Captain Vokes and Lieut. Panet, who have been respon- sible for the training of the team, have certainly turned out an outfit which is a credit to any college. The strictist discipline has been enforced, and the cadets never question any decisions of the officials. On many occasions decisions have been against them, but they just went back into the fight and said nothing, which is certainly true sportsman- ship, and says a lot for those in charge, and especially for the play- ors themselves. From a financial standpoint, the team has not been as great a success as Queen's seniors, but the staff of the college, and the cadets them- selves are determined that they will CHRISTMAS GIFT SUGGESTIONS go through and win the Dominion finals if possible, whether they face a deficit or not.

The Tricolor team bucked for their yards, and then Batstone tore off 15 yards daring pass. Batstone went through the Regina centre again for a 40-yard gain, carrying the ball to Regina's 12-vard line. It was another brilliant effort Queen's made 10 yards on their three downs, and on the first down of the next series Evans went over for another try close to the touch line. Batstone failed to convert. Three-quarter time score: Queen's 43, Regina 0. Fourth Quarter. Leadley returned to the game, re- plaé¢ing Batstone, who took a rest on the bench after a most brilliant per- formance. Baldwin replaced Evans and took the kick-off, running the ball back 10 yards. Queen's carried the ball to Regina's 35-yard line on two plays, a line plunge by McKelvey and an end run by Leadley. Thomas took a pass from McKel- vey and gained 30 yards.

Leadley kicked into touch at Regina's 15-yard line and the visitors were once more on the defensive.

Leadley punted into touch at Regina's 30-yard line. Quinn ran McEachren's back to Regina's 50- yard line. Regina forced Queen's to kick and Leadley booted to Rowand, who was playing a very useful game. McEachrén punted to Leadley on the bounce at centre. With three minutes to play, the crowd ealled on Regina again to score a point. They responded by holding Queen's for downs at centre. Otton and Rogers tried an end run, without success. A line-plunge also failed. McEachren then booted to Quinn, who was downed - 30-yards out. Queen's plunged for their yards, and then Quinn went around the end for 15 yards on a bluff pass.
