& "" O.RF.U. -- Backs, LOCAL RUGBY TEAMS - PREPARE FOR FIGHT Queen's and Am.0. in Opener Tomorrow--Varsity Teams Announced by Coach. Queen's and R.M.C. seniors will ke be in good shape tomorrow after- noon when they trot out on the . George on Stadium for the opening" of the local season--and ion match between the serior . ¢hampions of Canada and the inter- mediate winners of the same honors. At least we know Queen's will be in good shape from observation and we know that R.M.C. will be that way from tradition and past perform- ance... The cadets have been work- ing under the closest of secrecy at Point Frederick apd Coach Panet will probably have some surprises to" spring when he leads his team out tomorrow. They are in good econdi- tion and will make it a battle. The Queen's squad will have all the old stars and some new ones for the observation of the fans and the afternoon's programme should be a treat. ---------- Up at Toronto it is announced that Coach Jack Newton has selected the team to represent the Blue and White in the O.R.F.U. and the inter- collegiate, They are as follows: Intercollegiate--Backs, W. Say der, Pequegnat and Somerville; fly- ing wing, B. Stollery; quarter, Mills; outsides, Soanes and Campbell; mid- dles, Merritt and King; insides, H Stollery and L. Snyder; snapback, 'Webber. Kirkpatrick, Trimble and Reid; flylng wing, Fras- @r; quarter, Walker; snapback, Web- ber; insides, Dow and Stringer; mid- dles, Master and Harris; outsides, Teagle and Duncan; subs., Chaffe, . McFayden, Bentley, Dundas, Currie, 'Plaxton and Bruce. From the look of that list one would imagine that Newton will try out a great many of his prospective * Intercollegiate men in the first O. R. F. U. game to observe them under fire. David Harding and his Camp Bor- den intermediates gave the Argos a really fine workout the other day. When one remembers that the two Carr-Harris boys of last year's R.M. C. team are with the brilliant Hard- g it seems small wonder. ~ Yes, Smirlle Lawson, Jack May- nard and Laddie Cassells are expect- od to play for Varsity Old Boys ip the annual exhibition. If Queen's' could only dig 'out Guy Curtls, Hughie Macdonell and Buck Craw- ford or some of the other vets. then everything would be all right. Coach Panet of the Royal Military College intermediates is rapidly rounding out another championship contender. The cadets are always the best conditioned squad in the sport and their tackling a treat to the fans.--Globe, Dave Harding looked mighty good to the Argonaut officials yesterday. He is as fast as ever and his punting * is better than before.--Globe. The Interprovincial rules state that players must reside in a city "which they represent from June of the same year. It is about the only residence rule heard of in rugby football very much. Coach Jack Newton has selected ~ his teams for the U. of T. battles in O.R.F.U. and intercollegiate. Kirk- ' patrick, last year with R.M.C., has 'been picked for the senior O.R.F.U: ' backfield. It would not be sufprising if the Varsity squadron walked away with 'the O.R.F.U, title this year. Either ' poorer material than one would -ex- pect or lack of attention because of "the other seniors would seem to be all that has hindered them so far. See you at R.M.C.-Queen's match tomorrow.

NEWS OF THE RESIN SNIFFERS By a Fan. | yo 4 Since Johnny Dundee [orfeited the featherweight title there has been a frantic hunt by boxing fans in gearch of a fighter fit to claim the crown that has been worn by George Dixon, Terrible Terry McGovern, Young Corbett, Abe Attell and others, In .a contest being held by the Minneapolis Boxing Blade to de- termine the suitable contenders for the championship the six best boys are given as Sammy Mandell of Rockford, Ill, Stewart McLean of St. Paul, - Danny Kramer, Himle Klugman, 8id Terris and Johnny Leonard. . * . We hear that the former English champion, Joe Beckett, has express- ed a desire to climb through the; ropes once more. Beckett has always been considered more or less of a joke on this side of the pond, al- though in his time he beat Billy Wells, Tommy Burns, Frank Moran and others. Most of this contempt for Joe's ability was bred after his crushing defeats by Georges Carpen- tier. . * * Which brings to mind the fact that few boxers ever succeed in regain- ing their former titles, Ketchell, Gans, Matthews, Britton, Attell and Herman were successful. But-- glance at the names of those who failed. A few of them are Jim Cor- bett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries, Jess Willard, Joe Gans and Willie Ritchie. J - . . Be nda that only two heavy- weights who have held the title since Sullivan's time are marked in any way. The two are Jess Willard and Jim Jeffries, both having tin ears. Corbett, Fitzimmons, Johnson and Dempsey are absolutely unmarked. JUST ONE SBRIES, As an evidence of how hopeless the case of the 4th Hussars would have been for the series against C.G.E. without the timely financial assistance of several fans comes this short statement of the actual money handled: \ $142.85 6.00 3.00 54.00 3.50 Tickets at Kingston ... Umpires at Kingston ....

Tokio, Sept. 3.--Japanese news- papers express disappointment at the showing of the empire's athletes at the Paris Olympiad. "It was not much to .boast 'of,' says the Osala Mainichi, The fault ig found in part, this newspaper continués, in Japanese houses, customs and food, which all together tend to produce men of slighter physique than is the rule in western countries. "Our people should live, eat, work and rest ac- cording to principles which promote health and strength." Queen's To Win Again, Arneptimistic citizen pulls Queen's for the Intercollegiate championship. No other college can equal Queen's both for coach and backline. Bat- "stone and Leadley can put it over all" other teams for headwork and clever play. Coach Hughes has more new and tricky plays in his bonnet than other coaches could think out In a year. The citizen said the real nd alert contest would be when the Queen's boys run up agtiinst the amilton Tigers. Then thare will be some game!

THE NUT CRACKER By Jos Willisms Those who claim that China hae no national sport evidently do not classify civil war as an outdoor re- creation. Connie Mack has gone back to his old system of using sandlotters--a system by which he hopes to finish an even better last than in the past.
