QUEEN'S PLAYERS IN ~ ROLE OF RECIPIENTS Bervices Recognized by City in Presentation In Memorial Hall Saturday. Mayor Thomas Angrove presided At the meeting in the Memorial Hall on Saturday night when the mem- bers of the Queen's senior and in- 'termediate championship football teams, winners both of all-Canadian honors, were presented with suitable tokens of the esteem in which they are held by the city a mark of ap- preciation. The officials and players of the senlor squad received , handsome black club-bags, beautifully manu factured of the very best materials, and the intermediates were given 'Queen's sweater-coats. Queen's cheer leader also received a sweater coat, . Major-General Sir Archibald Maec-! donell, commandant of R.M.C., Prof. Manley Baker, of Queen's and Ald. TT. A.

Called upon by the chairman, Gen- eral Macdonell addressed the meet- ing in sincere yet happy fashion. He paid the greatest of tributes to the Queen's teams of the past few years, expressed his pleasure at seeing R.M-C. graduates on them and also extended the hope that greater num-| pers of 'the R.M.C. boys will go to Queen's in the future. He praised Kingston as a city and in referring. fo the splendid spirit now existing 'between. the Military College and the University attributed thé change, a welcome one, to two things--the work done by Principal Taylor in . ep-operation 'with himself, and the determination brought to his mind ~ 40 have things so here by the splen- did things done by Queen's Univer- sity men overseas in his command "1 could mot conceive that there should be any {ll feeling between any institution under my command and that University which sent such wonderful men overseas," said Sir Archibald, "and I determined that _ there should not be," The old war- rior, however, waived the greater part. of the credit as usual and pass- ed it on to others who had aided in the work. He referred in informal manner to the players by name on two or three occasions to bring out his points and made especial mention of one of his Special friends "Uncle Bill" Mulr-| Professor M. B.

The facts brought forward by Professor Baker were unusual in that they are known to seldom and exceptionally interesting. An orchestra was present through- out and just when it looked like "God Save the King," the Queen's pulled a surprise. Captain "Pep" Leadley, on behalf of the senior team, presented Mayor Angrove with a large framed panel photo of this year's team, and a similar phoio of the Intermediates was presented by Captain "Frank" McKelvey--both captains Hamilton boys. .They took the nfayor 'by surprise but he was so obviously tickled to death that his few words of sincere thanks were hardly necessary. The Queen's yell, three cheers for the mayor by the players and three cheers for the players by the gen- eral meeting, concluded the cere- monies, Before the presentations to the Queen's players were made there was another pleasant little ceremony when Trainer Billle Hughes was | presented formally with the hand- some bronze. medal and Olymple di- ploma awafded him as Official Train- er of the Canadian Track, Field and Boxing teams at the 1924 Olympiad y at Paris. Rounds of applause from all testified to the popularity of the little trainer. With each presentation was a copy of "Three Years of Gridiron Glory," fresh from the presses of the British Whig Job Department, a booklet designed to commemorate for present players, undergraduates, graduates and fans, the unique re- cord of the Tricolor in football since 1921. Withgall due modesty the publishers must say that if all think as highly of it as the players its suc- cess is assured. Record of Champions. "Three Years of Gridiron Glory."

(By J. A.W.) - The boxing year of 1924 produc ed few thrills and was a failure as boxing seasons go. The attitude of the world's champions was largely responsible for the slump that box- ing took during the past year. Demp- sey could not be induced to enter the ring. He demanded huge purses, far beyond the reach of any pro- moter except Tex Rickard, who, however, was not allowed to stage bouts in the ball parks this season. Mike . McTigue, light-heavyweight champion, showed a tendency to hang on to his crown like a baby hangs onto its milk bottle, Harry Greb fought several times, but re- fused to meet his real contenders except in no-decision bouts. Mickey Walker was idle all spring and sum- mer, but fought Malone and Tendler in the fall. Benny Leonard spent most of his time in the movies. He fought Pal Moran but ran out of a match with Walker. Johnny Dun- dee was beaten a couple of times so he retired and henceforth will fight as a lightweight. Abe Goldstein, who won the bantam title from Joe Lynch early in the year, fought several times, but he is not a great drawing card. Pancho Villa shun- ned the ring entirely and returned to his home in the Philippines, Big Bouts. Although the boxing game for 1924 was mot nearly as successful financially as it was in 1923, there were a few big bouts staged during the year. . On September 11th Harry Wikis beat Luis Angel Firpo in 12 rounds at Boyles Thirty Acres, Jersey City, before 60,000 people. The fight was to have decided who was the logical contender for Dempsey's crown, but Wills, although he won, put up such a disappointing exhibi- tion that no interest was taken in the proposed match, Georges Carpentier, former 1765- pound champion of the world, fought two bouts in America this year. On May '81st, Tommy Gibbons, of St. Paul beat him handily in 10 rounds at Michigan City, Ind., before 80,- 000 people, and on Aug. 24th Gene Tunney knocked him out at the Polo Grounds before a crowd of 40,000. Many experts thought that Tunney fouled the gallant Frenchman, & Another View Editorial in New York World. Clipping Ban Johnson's wings, la- mentably, has little bearing on the baseball situation which has develep- ed since the recent scandal. Let us have a look at the essential facts. It was an open secret that a feud existed between Johnson and Lan- dis. Then cagge the Dolan-O'Connell episode and summary action by Lan- dis. Then Johnson hlleged that the scandal really involved more players than Dolan 'and O'Connell; he de- manded a more searching investiga- tion, and he proposed that the world's series be called off on the ground that a cloud hung over it. What he had to say, it is now set forth, constitutes his crime. Was it a crime? It may be that personali- ties between him and Landis made him unavailable for the place from which he was ousted, but this is not the reason .given for the action that was taken. He was oustéd becauge he made charges, beécande he did not prove his charges, bécause he "be- smirched" a popular, ame. But the layman must conclude that it was his privilege to make charges. As to his not proving them, he was given no opportunity to prove them. As to his "shutting up" and saying noth- ing more to the newspapers, that can hardly be held against him, The newspapers were not the place for him to prove his charges. As to his "besmirching' a popular game, that is not an argument. The fact that the game is popular doesn't prove that certain players may not be crooked. To sum up: 'Ousting Johnson may relieve the tension between him and Landis, may constitute a great "vic- tory" for Landis, but it has no re- lation to the situation. The charges are still unproven. Baseball, if fit was 'ever besmirched, is still be- rsmirched. Finally, there is a hush- it-up-quick flavor to the proceedings that doesn't go down. There is still the. suspicion that Johnson's main The was that he "hurt the game" if a commercial sense, and that he 'sport, UP FROM DAVY JONES' LOCKER The British are raising the German fleet which was scuttled by their German crews after the war in Scapa Flow, Orkney. on the sunken ships.' brass that will be recovered.

The Toronto Star, Weekly says: Kingston, Ontario, claims, and claims perhaps not unduly, that it has the oldest active golfer in Can- ada. This is Mr. J. B.

Mr. Walkem wag 82 years of age last month, but during the past season was seen al- most every day on the links, Awd] what is more, he plays a very good game indeed, and every once in a while walks off with a prize or so. He especially approaches and putts well, The rather extraordinary fea- ture of Mr. Walkem's game is con- tained in the fact that he was well over 70 when he took up with the In Great Britain there are scores of octogenarians playing golf, but in Canada it is rarely that a man over 80 is seen on the course, If there are any golfers older than the chancellor of Kingston, actively play- ing the game, we should ilke to hear from them.
