THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1024. LATEST LOCAL ens SOME FIGURES ON SATURDAY'S GAME Ample Reason Shown for Closeness of Queen's-Varsity Battle In Toronto. "The "box score' of the Queen's- Varsity game in Toronto, last Satur- day, offers some decidedly interest- ing figures. There are, of course, many more things which could be listed than those given below -but these are the principal moves, : Varsity made their yards nine fimes and Queen's six. The yards were most frequently made by trick- plays or backfield runs. The differ- ence in the tallies can easily be ac- counted for in Snyder's sudden dashes. There were sixty-seven kicks in the game, exclusive of kickoffs. Queen's kicked thirty-four times and 'Varsity thirty-three, On the first down Queen's kicked twelve times and Varsity seven, On the second down Queen's boosted four times and Varsity five and on the third Queen's | eighteen times and Varsity twenty- one. Queen's fumbled on the backfield three times and recovered but once. Varsity fumbled twice and recovered once. Of the Queen's fumbles, the two on which the ball was lost put Varsity In scoring position but they counted only single points. The one Varsity loss by fumble resulted in a \ fifty-yard dash for a touch by Thomas and Chantler, of Queen's, Queen's held up their end by re- turning four kicks. Varsity return- ed but one and that not very well. Queen's only tried the onside kick from kickoff. It did not work and Varsity gained greatly by the move, | Varsity tried onside kicks five times. One of them wag successful after a Jucky - recovery and two others, close to the line, resulted in rouges against Queen's, Field goals were conceded an im- { portant place in the game. The Trl- color tried four and made two, the third one hitting the upright within an ace of going over, Varsity tried five, four by Somerville and one by Snyder, but nonas were successful, though two of them went for single | points, In penalties Queen's lost more . ---- ded" old pal} MOUNTED 5c Who's all You're all right-with your Olid Pal --~egvery time!

On account of three of them making two trips and drawing the extra penalty incurred, while another drew a straight ten minutes, it was more serious than it looks at first. Six Varsity penalties were handed out with no duplicates, Queen's lost the ball four times as a pehalty and Varsity three times but the Queen's penalties all came in dificult places and at critical stages of the game. Varsity suffered the experience three times hut only once in a bad place. The lost down penalty was prom- fnent. Varsity lost a down on seven occasions and Queen's on five. In addition Queen's lost a lot of ground for failing to give yards on two occasions and also lost the ball once for failing to make yards In three downs, . Varsity suffered a ten- yard Joss of ground on one occasion for some infraction of the rules. The longest run of the day was Batstone's sixty-yard dash in the last | quarter with Snyder's 40-yard run in the first the gecond longest. . The biggest reverse while keeping pos- session came when a bad snap was sent to Somerville on the second down and he was thrown twenty yards back of the line of scrimmage. The box score shows clearly that the breaks were even and Queen's had, if anything, a greater share of hard luck. They, however, took quicker and more effective advant- age of favorable situations to score. ------------------------ QUEEN'S RICHLY DESERVE HONORS Of Rugby Championship, Says Ottawa _ Journal--Ottawa Hopes Queen's Will Win. | The Ottawa Journal has the fol- | lowing comment: Queen's are still champions. They richly deserve tie honors. "Only the game fish swim upstream" is a sport axiom, ahd Queen's deserve the ap- pellation of fame fish in every sense. { They may, not be as great a team as | last year's team, they may lack that | driving force imparted by Johnny Evans, and they may not have that magnificent defence which for three years has made them the marvels of rugby, but they are still a cham- plonship aggregation, and well worthy of the applause of the sport multitude. Many hope that Queen's will go on to win again, because they have brought something to the game lack- ing in years gone by. They have brought an idolatrous devotion to their team that is inspiring. It may be parochial and reflect'a small town spirit, but it is refreshing. Queen's cannot be expected to go on winning forever. The law of averages is all against them, and in the course of events they are bound to loosen their grip on the title soon, for the history of all championship teams shows that about three years is their allot- ted span as wearers of the crown. Tigers are not to be sneezed at. It is quite possible that they will defeat Queen's. They have a line that can stand the wear and tear, sure-hand- ed backs, and a quarter who in intel- ligence and concentration, plus an ability to divine weaknesses In an opponent's armor, stands out as one of the greatest In the game. Add to this the fact that Quinn and Evans and Walker know the Queen's sys< tem almost as intimately as they do their own, and one can see that they are a formidable menace to the title, Last year Tigers gave Queen's a ter- rific 'argument at home. They roll: ed them down the field for a touch- down, the first scored that year against the college champions, Add the gure-handed and resourceful Quinn to Tigers' backfield; plant Evans behind that juggernaut line; place a deadly tackler like Walker in the place occupied by Baker, and insert. a human battering ram like Brian Timmis into the middle of the line, and one cannot help but admit that the Tigers of this year are al- most twice as good as last year's team. Whether their improvement 'is sufficient to overcome the super- fority shown by Queen's last year, whose strength has been detracted from by the loss of Evans and Walk- er, and added to the enemy, is a question that only the clash between the two will answer.

Toronto press states unanimously that Bud Thomas, of Queen's, is the greatest outside wing in rugby. - ately cannot send his brain into the fray with his team. Varsity put up a great battle, Give them their due. But they'd never offer such another fight to Queen's thig year if they had half a-dozen chances. It was the dying kick. Warren Snyder is undoubtedly one of Canada's greatest football play- ers. Yet we still prefer men of the Leadley and Batstolie type who know what to do in that terrible last few minutes of close games. And, without poking into "War- nies" personal affairs, we think he must be taking the same course at _U. of T. that Charlie Gage took some years ago. ' The fall of the Varsity O.R.F.U. team was a shock all right. All honor to the diminutive Abble Buett. All he wants to make a team is a good kicker and a fair line. These he had with both St. Aldan's some time ago and Balmy Beach this year. -- # With John McKelvey out of the sam NEWS : TIMELY COMMENTS CEDAR SHINGLES are in big demand yet.

However, that's up to Queen's and Tigers.

During the evening Billle was pre- sented with a pair of statuettes em- blematic of boxing honors and was given a rousing time by the boys who learned to, like him so well while overseas. v Billie has also recently received a handsome bronze plaque and testi- monial from Canadian Olympie Com- mittee. . Cadets After Theirs With Queen's in possession of the senior Intercollegiate title, their in- termediates with a good start for that honor, and R.M.C. juniors still in the running, there is still a chance that Kingston may grab off three championships this seagon. The cadets are playing Loyola in Montreal to-day with the return game here on Saturday. In their first game they were beaten by Queen's juniors 15 to 5 and It look- ed lke "nothing to it" for the Tri color. They came back in the second tilt and walked all over their op- ponents, showing the real' R.M.C. style of rugby afd carrying au -- fore them. They are going up against the jule for champions of Canada when th meet Loyola and against a coach that is harder to handle than Jake Bolo< mon but the best wishes of Kingston tans go with them to Montreal, Var- sity juniors are waiting to play off with the winners for the title, With two or three of their injured ° players back in the game and a good long rest behind them, the eadets will offer an even stronger front tham in their last game with Queen's.
