A. Devlin.) m's started off their 1925 campaign by taking a fall out he Montreal Big Four team on at Montreal before a crowd m five and six thousand to his usual form of play. Brown was in the game but a few minutes on Saturday.

Of rst it must be remembered that new men playing in that 's line part of the time but it that, the Montrealers show- fear and hammered away for that they were worth.

"running interference, really was. It was smartly carried out and proved a good ground gainer. Montreal tried one or two with success also but they gained their best through onside kicks. While there is no desire to take on the part of anyone to take credit away from Montreal for their vie- tory on Saturday, it must be admit- ted that Montreal would not make as good a showing.against Queen's if they were playing against the Tri- color two weeks hence. « Montreal has been practising for weeks, they have been brought into practically midseason condition , and they are working now abotit as well as they will work.in the Big Four games. They are a good team but even at that if they were to step out against Queen's with the latter in the con- dition that they will soubtless be in with another two weeks practice, with the regular men all in place, the story would be much different. I -- i Played Straight Football. Queen's have really been going a little over a week. The players have straggled in this year, and it has been quite impossible for Ath- letic Director Hughes to get plays down to machine-like order with the result that Queen's showed nothing unusual on Saturday. There was an almost total absence of new plays and their game was, to speak gen- erally, straight football. For those who went to the game to see Queen's uncork a bagful of new tricks, they were disappointed, for Queen's pull- ed off but one new play that worked well and that was used mighty little. Straight football beat Montreal and if Queen's are good enough now, at this stage of the game, considering their lack of practice together, their lack of thorough knowledge of the plays and signals' yet, and their pre- sent condition, which will be greatly improved before many days, then it is a good indication that when they open up their Intercollegiate season, they will be much better fortified and in.a much better position $0; dis- play their regular form. \¢ This does not imply, however, that they will have a walkaway with the Intercollegiate. Far from jt. While Queen's might have a comparatively easier time against a team from the Big Four, they expect a harder fight from Varsity or McGill. These teams are in there with the fight all the time and Queen's will have to step from this time on, every day 'till the schedule opens, to get down to hard work, to get their plays moving as they should, to thoroughly acquaint themselves with the various/signals and put themselves in the, condition that is needed for a hard 'campaign. Batstono Starred. lm Batstone had more chance on Sat- urday to "shine" any of the backfield players and he out-gener- aled the opposition and turned in a good performance. His kicking was a feature of the play and he was right in there all the time when it came to ball carrying. Chantler was fk his usual dash and ¥ { Booth | Bennett | McCaig | Halves. Chantler .

Montreal started out facing the sufi and Booth kicked to Batstone, the Queen's half returning it to Montreal's 50-yard line. Two downs gave Monireal yards but the play was recalled for offside. An ex- change of kicks found Montreal with the ball five yards out from their own goal line. "Chicks" Mundell took the ball and forged through for a gain of five yards and in the melee, "Curly" Lewis was hurt but was able to continue. He received a bad bang on the head. Booth sent a high one to Chantler at centre and the plucky little Queen's half was soon down. Batstone was playing safe and again let the ball go on the first down and it was Ijucky he did for it resulted in a touch. Charlie Mundell fumbled the ball and it rolled over the goal line, "Bud" Thomas dropping on it for a touch. Batstone converted it from a diffi- cult angle. Queen's 6, Montreal 0. The kick-off went to Chantler and e returned the ball to Mundell. The perede started and Montreal worked the ball for yards up the field, the Queéen's line being torn up by the Montreal plungers, who found the defence of the Tricolor line less formidable than they had anticipat- ed. The ball carriers were sifting through easily and it looked for a time as if the Red and Blue would walk over for a touch. Included in the advance was an onside kick which worked successfully for ten ards. It was unexpected and caught the Queen's wings off their guard for the moment. Starke contributed five yards and Booth gained on a swing to the left end. It looked mighty bad for Queen's right then and Mont- real kept the barrage up and Mun- dell chased through on the last dive for & touch which was not converted. Queen's 6, Montreal 5. Bennett returned Queen's kick-off and Chantler broke for a short gain. Batstone kicked on the first down to Booth, who ran the ball back over fifteen yeards before he was grassed. Montreal gained a little in their sec- ond attempt through the line but an end run was completely smothered for & loss and Queen's were in pos- session 25 yards out from Montreal's line. Queen's could not smash through Montreal's line and Batstone tried a drop but it did not work but Wright fell on the ball for Queen's second touch, which was not convert- ed. Queen's 11, Montreal 5. + Skelton replaced Lewis "at snap and Montreal proceeded to rip things up in Queen's line. Two drives gave Montreal yards d a fake play to the end and complétely baffled the Tricolor and resulted in another short gain. Booth kicked to Batstone, who brought the ball out about a little over a yard just as the quarter ended. Queen's 11, Mont- real 5. Second Quarter. Batstone had little chance to re- ceive the ball on the first play of the quarter and the Montreal netted two points quickly when Anderson crash- ed through the Queen's line and threw Batstone'for a safety. Queen's 11, Montreal 7. Wynne Baldwin was the game at quarter Freddy Baldwin. Ba to Bennett at centre.

The squdd were being taken to the show and Jim Campbell, manager of the team, was buying the tickets for the thirty men when the manager ofthe Capitol Theatre appeared om the scene and told the cashier to hand Queen's rugby team were his guests forthe evening. and he conducted them tothe best seats in the house. During part of the performance of a fashion parade, a girl appeared wearing Queen's colors, accompanied by a little tot carrying a rugby ball with Queen's colors streaming from it. The recognition was appreciated and the boys let loose with a hearty Queen's yell as a manifestation of their appreciation. ""Bud'" Thomas appeared at flying wing on Saturday and, though he is somewhat strange to this job, he will be ready for action regularly when the Intercollegiate season opens. some neat plunger and an ideal man for flying wing position. Dr. Carl Quinn starred in the game in Hamilton for the Tigers on Saturday against Balmy Beach, scoring nine ofthe nineteen points. Carl is going strong with the Tigers and fans up that way expect him to have a big year. "Liz" Walker is going great guns with the Tricolor and is in good condition tight now. "Liz" has lost Saturday he-wés right in there with the old fighting spirit all the time. back the money. He said that the "Bud" showed himself to be / none of his pep and ginger and on "Chicks" Mundell but the damage was done and Queen's added five more. Queen's 16, Montreal 7. Batstone 'ran back the kickoff 20 yards before he was forced into touch. Bennett and Mundell work- ed an en fun, Mandell taking the pass and gafnifig 15 yards. McCaig kicked to 'Chantler. The Tricolor were in possession but a few yards out and the Montreal line held well. Montreal drew a penalty for offside. Mundell took' Batstone's kick and re- turned it,' thé ball going over the line. Chantler played it safe, drop- ping on the ball for a rouge. The way he dropped on it, there was no chance for anybody else getting it. Queen's 16, Montreal 8. Batstone tried the line for a gain of 8 yards and kicked on the second down to Mundell as the second quar- ter closed. Half-Time Ceremony. During the half-time interval, the ceremony of raising the flag on the new flag pole at the MA.AA. grounds, in memory of the members of the M.A.AA, who died in the Great War, was held, those in at- tendance = rising with uncovered heads while the flag was raised and the Last Post sounded. . ~ Third Quarter. It turned out that all the scoring was done in the first half of the game for neither team could count in the second half. Leadley appeared on the backfield and Voss was given a chance to display his work also. The kickoff went to Mundell at Montreal's 20 yard line. Two tries at the line gave Montreal yards and an end run to the left gave yards again. Montreal were picking up well and going strong till a fumble turned the tide and gave Queen's possession at their own 45 yard line, Leadley kicked on the first to Mont- real"s 40 yard line and M.A.AA. drew a penalty for offside. Booth kicked to Queen's 35 yard line and Batstone had little chance to make a getaway. Norrie crashed the centre paeveimd a Vee for a short gain. Leadley kicked into touch at his own 50 yard line. Montreal tried an end run to the right but it was easily broken up. Booth kicked but Leadley returned #t to the same place again. Wright took Mundell's place and the latter received the hand from the crowd as he left the fleld. A Leadley to Batstone run gained 25 yards for Queen's and Leadley hbisted to Ben- nett at Montreal's 35 yard line. Queen's line held and Bennett kick- ed to Batstone at Queen's 40 yard line. Leadley sént the ball to Mont- real's 25 yard line and Wright erash- ed through the centre to get yards on a fake play. There was plenty of kicking going on and neither team seemed anxious to hold the ball very long. The kicks were gettifig away on the first or second down nearly all the time. "Hank™ Brown replac- ed "Tiny" Adams. IAA A ANA ASN Leadley kicked. Montreal tried an onside kick, the ball bounding down the field. Jeff Russell made a clean break and would have been over had "Bud' Thomas not followed him up and nailed him. It was an exciting time for two or three minutes and Montreal came within an ace of get- ting another touch. Montreal were in possession just fifteen yards out from their own goal line, Another onside kick was attempted but Queen's secured the ball on their own goal line as the whistle sound- ed for full time.
