MAKING READY T0 MEET TRICOLOR "Coach Working Winged Wheelers Up on Defensive Plays. Montreal, Sept. 22.--For the past three weeks thé candidates of the M.A.A A. senior Big Four Rugby Club have been constantly drilled by their mentor, Coach J. P. Nicholson, in the art of scoring points and penetrating the defence of the op- position," but as yet they have not touched on the impdrtant work of defending their own ground against the line crashers of the enemy--and according to reports from the camps of the opposing clubs the locals will receive an abundance of opposition in stopping some of the "stonewall breakers" which the enemy are re- ported to be harboring this season. This "Nick" has started a series of defendive practices which will bring the squad up to the first real com- petition of the year next Saturday when they meet nothing less than the championship team of Canada, Queen's, under the able tutelage of the astute Bill Hughes, who not so long ago, was having no little worry of how the same local Winged Wheelers were going to shove the odd point across the visitors' line. The work which started yesterday is to be chiefly centred on defensive tactics and kicking along with plenty of practice for the end-wings. To date scrimmage practice has been the main, activity but the coach seems well pleased with the squad in that department and will pay more attention to other training Centiels, 8 spoken of. Following Exhibition. Following the Queen's game the locals will Dive two full weeks to prepare for the invasion of the Ham- ilton Tigers in the first game of the schedule here on October 10th. The Bengals as usual will have a strong line-up and the mistdkes which are bound to be shown up against Queen's will certainly be cleared up before the regular schedule starts. SHAUGHNESSY MEN SHOWING UP WELL St. Germain to Join the Red and White This Week. . Montreal," Sept. 23.--Few holes are to be filled on the McGill inter- collegiate rugby squad this season as was made apparent at the stadium yesterday when the main bulk of what will"tnquestionably be the first string 1925 group were in harness, there having been an invasion of the city last week-end by red and white footballers.

""Péewee" Chantler looks like the real thing this season and should g0 even better than last year, and anyone who saw. the little chap in action then knows what he can do. Queen's will put even more sting into the attack this season than they have done before, and when the Tricolor gridders step out the fans will see something to make them sit up and take notice. It is to be hoped that when the Oslers and Kingston hook up in their second game here that the local heavy-hitters will shine more than they did at the Island stadium. The men who were expectéd to come through with the long clouts in Toronto failed to connect, but they promise more action against Joe Spring. -- The K.C.I. rugby team was trotted.out for a practice yesterday afternoon. There was a large squad of youngsters on hand for the work- out and there are some pretty husky boys in the lot, who should give a good account of themselves. Even if the football season is right in on us, it has not drowned out the .enthusiasm for baseball and the ardent followers of the game can hardly wait for the meeting of the Oslers and the locals. There promises to be the biggest crowd of the season out to cheer the Kingston team to a victory. Kingston to g There is little use denying that the majority of fans expected "beaten in Toronto, but now that it has been shown that it was a bad inning that caused the difference, along with the fact that the Kingston sluggers had an off day, they are inclined very strongly td believe that Kingston can take the second game at home and they will be much disappointed if the boys fall down this time.

An article which appears lately says that this who scoff at tennis as a weakling's game are usually of the rough-neck class or the rocking- chair-critic type. That ought to hold some of the "critics" of the game for a while at least. Joe Smith, the crack left-wing player of the Kingston Hockey Club, who is also a devotee of the game of softball, playing for the Printers, comes along with the suggestion that the Printers should have a hockey team this winter, Its easy seen that Joe didn't see the Printers in action one night at the arena or he never would have made a crack like that. team for fall drills, one week ago, there was some chance of looking over the prospects--and the notice- dble. fact was that there were players to spare for every department. On the line they are warrigrs of ability who should weld into the best front rank Shaughnessy has had since 1919. The backfield is another question. There the coach has ma- terial, but hardly enough of the right sort for this all-important division of the Canadian game--at lcast, not enough from which to mould a championship aggregation. There was one big surprise for the persistent fans who attend regularly at the afternoon drills at the sta- dium. Among the late arrivals yes- terday was a figure somewhat famil- far to the red and wh!ia supporters. The stocky little player was none cther than Tayler. who played out- tide wing so effectively for Univer- sity of Toronto las* sasson. Taylor is attending McGill from now on. He applied last year, but could not S.t'sty academic requirements and #1 rned to Toron'y, but this year en- tered. McGill. He worked yesterday with the ends and showed his prow- ess. However, about the only joy 3 year has elapsed. Those out for the first time yes- terday included the following regu- lars of last season--Eddie Hanng, | PD Hammie Boucher, Gorrie, Walsh and Spears,° while Jerry Altimas, former Loyola College backfield star, was among the new crop. These, cou- pled with the ten regulars who started in last week, just about com- plete the Shaugnessy roster for the season, though there are still ong or two to get back, and a number of newcomers still expected. And it is from this latter group that the McGill coach must look for some new blood which may enable him to strengthen his attacking division. Last year McGill was about the best defensive team in the union, but they could not madtch Queen's in forging down fleld, lacking punters and broken field runners to equal the Batstone-Leadley attack, either in the air or along the ground. St. Germain is expected here this week from Ottawa, and may make the difference. The Rideau star has been highly rated in his own section, and unquestionably he is a rare young footballer. But inter- collegiate rugby is a different mat- ter altogether from playing behind a junior line, and should the Rideau youth finally line up with McGill he will still have to pull away many 'hefty blocks before he is well launched on a career on the inter- collegiate gridiron. | high school football team.
