MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 19024, LATEST LOCAL : BELLEVILLE DEFEATED IN VERY FAST MATCH Kingston: Bay of Quinte Team 2-1 Victors in Over- time. The very small group of fans who braved the zero weather to see the Bay of Quinte league fixture at the Jock Harty Arena on Saturday night got their money's worth beyond a doubt and saw #46 local team take & 2-1 victory in ten minutes of over- time. There was a splendid sheet of iffe ready for the players when they came out but most of them appeared with heavy wraps on their heads and the cold air kept them slowed up for a few minutes till their breathers be- came accustomed to it. Then the pace Increased and by the end of the allotted gixty minutes it was going at a furious rate, Belleville presented a very well balanced team, with good combina- tion work at times and a very good goal-keeper in Scott. Canning, on 'the defence, and Goyer and Symons of the forward line, worked excep- tionally well for them and were al- ways dangerous. Play had been going but a few minutes when Kingston claimed a goal but the goal judge disallowed it. Before the period ended Watts made sure of one and the locals went off the ice one in the lead. In the second period Armstrong notched one for Belleville and the teams were . on even footing. They battled i through the - third session without ecoring though there weré narrow escapes on both sides. Then, after a short rest, they went at it again and Belleville had the better of the .argu- score by a hair's breadth, the big fellow got off his stride and crashed heavily into the Belleville goal for the count. He rested up in the dress- ing room and returned to the ice at the end of the game. The game leaves Belleville to fight it out for the championship of the league. It will be some fight and. whoever wins will have a trophy worth bringing home. The teams: Bellevilie--Goal, Hibbard, Canning; centre, wings, Symons and Whalen; Armstrong and Williams. Kingston--Goal, McCarthy; de. fence, Bennett and Ritchie; centre, Lanos; wings, Millan and Watts; subs, Devlin and T. Angrove. Referee--A.

That Montreal will soon have an- other_first-class Arena, and perhaps a big stadium for sport, was intimat- ed at a delightful little informal function held in the Cercle Universi- taire, on 8t. Hubert street, this week, at which the Athletic Assoclation of the University of Montreal were the hosts and the sporting writers of the local press, the guests, Edouard Montpetit, the secretary of the university, in a few words ex- plained the idea of the gathering and thanked the guests of the occasion for the assistance they had given the university athletic work thus far. The next speaker, Dr. Mason, re- viewed the athletic history of the university which was really begun, when it was still known as Laval, and the struggles they had owing to many drawbacks, one of which was financial, to get a good. start and make things go. At present they were on the right road.- They realiz- ed that physical education and physi- cal endeavor were becoming a great- er necessity every day, particularly for university students whose curri- culum was also becoming more diM- cult to follow every year. He gave the first intimation of the new Aredia and from what he said, he may be coutited upon as one of the first and large contributors to- wardg the building fund, Dr. Lanthier, one of the directors of the Athletic Association, spoke in English and added to the expression of views for a brod@ outlook in the GENERAL - REVIEWS |" FROMTHE OUTSDELOOKING IL | Queen's seniors are going merrily on their way with "two wins and one loss and second place in the standing.

Lavvum, Yep, it's been Pretty cold, but it's nothing like it used to be. Why back in '64 there was a fellow playing hockey and just as he went to shoot on the nets the goalie breathed on him and the frozen breath hit him between the ayes and knocked him cold. But it was no use, the puck had already started, and as the goal-keeper went to clear he took another breath---one end of dt froze to the ice and the other held to his teeth and there he was till they chopped him Soose.

Rugby football, in which many French-Canadians had shone in the past, would again be taken up, and they were now trying to form a golf team, of sufficiently high calibre to feel mot ashamed of competing with other collegiate teams. Dr. Dubeau emphasized the need of complete obligatory physical educa- tion in universities, a thing for which the faculty and Boird of Control of the Athletic Association were now working, and which, as a natural se- quence, would mean an arena, and perhaps a stadium and specially fit- ted up gymnasium. He too expressed himself as pre- pared to be ome of the first and the generous contributors to the building fund which would probably be stast- ed in earnest in a week or two, Dr. Villeneuve followed him in English, and after telling one of his amusing anecdotes, also dwelt large- ly upon the continuous effort that would be made from mow on by the Athletic Association and its board of control to widen the zone of ath- letic activity in all branches of ama- teur sport. Me let his hearers into the secret of some the proposed plans. Amongst ers, a junior rugby team was to be organised this autumn. Next year this would be advanced to intermediate with a new junior unit to draw from, and the year after that, the University of Montreal hop- ed to have a senior team fit to cope with MeGill and Queen's and Var- sity. Also with the promises of generous support on the part of Drs. Masson and Dubeau in mind, the matter of an arena would be put before the Alumai when the gathering of that body took place shortly, and there was little doubt but sufficient support would be forthcoming to start work soon, In the meantime the work of or- ganized physical education would be carried on under competent. profes- sors, : Before breaking up, the writer- guests "whose writings," the Rev. Rector said "were widely read, but Whose voices were seldom heard," ex- pressed their pleasure at being pre- sent, and gave their promise of hearty support to the new. athletic activity proposed.

For years she was the greatest w a rifle shot In America. One of "her favorite tricks was to shoot a piece of card- board full of holes. One day, Johnson, president of the American league, was standing with Charles Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, near the pass gate of the Chicago ball park. In those days complimentary tickets bore the num- ber of games played on the home lot and, as the holder of the ducat pass: ed through the gate the ticket-taker punched a hote in the aforesaid du- cat, , While Johnson and Comiskey were chinning, 'a man presented a com- Dlimentary ticket that was full of holes. In fact, the # had so many punch marks im it that John- son, out of curiosity, asked to have a look at it. Turning to Comiskey he said, "That ticket looks as though Annie Ooakley had used it as a tar- get." Comiskey later told the story to "a baseball writer and within a short time, 'every pass became known as an "Annie Oakley." Circles. showing with Bill McKechnie's Pittsburgh during the past two sea- sons has made him one of the most talked of managers in the major leagues. He assembled the team largely through his. own efforts and with little financial assistance from President Barney Dreyfuss. He gave Pittsburgh some real baseball and provided other National league clubs with two hot pennant fights, Players with whom McKechnie made such a brilliant showing were obtained from minor jeague clubs without paying much money. To begin with the developed Wallie Schmidt and Johnw Gooch inte two of the best catchers in the National league.

JOIE RAY WILL RACE HAHN AGAIN IN FEBRUARY Joie Ray, Illinois A. C. middle ais- tance running star, will seek revenge for his recent defeat at the hands of Lloyd Hahn, Boston A. A. runner, at the annual Indoor athletic meet of the Samaclar A. A, to be held in the 102d Engineers' Regiment arm- ory in New York, February 13th. Ray hag requested that a special race at $1,500 meters be added to the regular programme, for the pur- pose of producing a return test be- 'tween himself and Hahn. The Hub lad beat Ray at this distance in a handicap race at the recent Silk A. A. games in New York. President Frank A. Ready of the Samachar A.
