Both teams showed great strength and it was the opinion of spectators that they should both come through with flying colors in their games to come. The juniors displayed more strength on the line and their plungers showed great stuff against the heavier intermedi- ates. The feams were scheduled for an- other practice this afternoon and to- morrow the intermediates will tackle the hard fighting Red and White seconds of McGill, The practice this © afternoon is the last for the three teams before their games this week. The Intermediates are confident of taking a fall out of McGill and the Juniors are determined to display their fighting stuff that carried them through against R.M.C. Although the game with M.A.A.A. on Satur- day is an exhibition one, the senjors are not easing up by any means and 'slthough confident of winning, are not treating the matter lightly, but expect a real hard game. Queen's have obtained great honors in foot- ball and a victory for each of the three teams in the one week would add greatly-to their fame, Realiz- ing this, the teams will be playing their hardest in the encounters. 2 TITLE FOR QUEEN'S Seen Them All and Calls Tricolor to Come Through-- Mud Held Tigers, He Says.

Our backs, although they ran back ks splendidly, could not get their ~SPORTIN( G big ground-gainer--the end run-- going. The Ottawa wing 1fbe was a disap- | pointment. After reading newspapers of saults, I found that they were very tame and were outplayed all through the game by the Tiger line. Elford and Baker were the big ground-gainers for Hamilton, with "Gear" having one of his good days. Languay also showed that he is ready for semior company and, al- though Brian Timmis played a good game at rover, I still feel that he would be of more use to the Tigers on the line. This would give Small an opportunity to show the game that he has been playing all year. It may have beén on, account of the bad weather, but Ottawa did not show thé expected trick plays which Dave McCann may Mave up his sleeve. It will be a 'tough' game In Ot- tawa and my suggestion would be to have one man watch Tubman all through the game, as all of the plays seem to be centred around this half- back. After having seen all the teams in the Interprovincial and O.R.F.U. play, 1 feel that Queen's will have no trouble retainiig her Dominion i championship. ABOUT THOSE SIGNALS. Frank Shaughnessy's Team the Only One Using Conference Signals Steadily. The Toronto Globe, in an article, says in part: "Big Four ganies this season have not been as interesting as in the past, and this, despite the fact that the teams were well matched. They interpreted the rules very strictly, and were within their rights, but every team in the Union had objec- tions to make. "Coach Shaughnessy" of McGill is using the conference system on all plays. It is not expected that this will make a hit with Canadian fans. It is slower even than calling signals. Incidentally much has been said about delays caused by calling sig- nals. If there is any other better way to let all the players know what attack is to be used, the men in charge of the teams would MHke noth- ing better than to hear about it. City teams find it difficult enough to learn the plays via the signal. route with- out having to be burdened with any more difficult plan. "It can be dome, of course. It is possible to go through a series of plays without calling any signal, but few coaches would care to try the experiment under the conditions that exist as present In Canadian football." OTTAWAS ARE WORKING HARD FOR THEIR GAME SATURDAY. Ottawa, Nov. 12.--Under ideal weather conditions, Ottawa Senators are practising hard for their game on Saturday with Tigers. The team is in great 'shape, having come through the game in Hamilton with no serious casualties. Those who were banged around a bit have had the soreness rubbed out and are again ready for hard work. The equipment was in such a terrible condition following Saturday's mud bath in Hamilton that much of it may have to be discarded. The uni- forms were simply soaked, and the process of drying and cleaning them thoroughly will take another day or 80. No hopes are being entertained of any sort of a soft game here against' moving about? the Tigers. The linemen are hard at work remedying faults that stood out in Tigertown and, with any kind of a solid field, it may be a different tale when the front ranks lock horns here. Ottawas had. figured Tigers' strength on the backfield and they were not far out in their calcula- tions. Gibb, Quinn, Walker and Languay all gave them heaps of trouble and a dry fleld will be a de- Christmas Presents NOW IS THE TIME i Pick ont your Skates, Boots, Hockey Skis, Snow Shoes, Bicycles, Joy- % Kiddie Kars, Scoot Bot Slo. : Pay $1. 00 down and $ .00 per week un- u will have your for.

The Tiger middles, Baker and Elford, played smashing games in Hamilton, but hopes are held local- ly that their excursions will be cur- tailed here. Tubman again showed his value to the Senators by his wonderful game and it is certain that Tigers will en- deavor to keep the game away from him as much as possible.

Looking Forward to a Big C.0.B.L. Season Says the Belleville Ontario? "It is a far cry to the 24th of May when-the sound of bat meeting ball comes again In this section of the country but the hot-stove league experts are figuring out the different chances of the teams composing this league in particular. County league in Western Ontario there is a hard and fast rule that no team of that league shall take play- ers away from another team in the same group and it is a fine rule, but down here they grab where the pick- ing is the best. Oshawa has suffer- ed the most by the excursionists for their star southpaw, Duke Dainty, has shaken the dust of the Motor Town from his feet and will for the next year, at least, look over the splendid buildings of stone that they have in Kingston. Lennox, his stable mate, and a pitcher of note, will take lessons this winter on how the Lift Lock is manipulated in Peterboro. Al Tyson will jeurney to Galt and learn the ways of the clannish Scot in that burg. What has Belleville being doing to keep pace with all this True, they have not snatched any away from the other entrants in the League but are they going afleld 40 gather a team that will, at least, give the other fellows a battle? It is stated on good auth- ority that John Ouellet, of Fenelon Falls, will again sling them over the platter and that he will have real good help. Vernon Weir and Walter Gerow were noticed in the personal column of a paper as going to the States for a holiday and there is wonder what is'going on. There are some fine players there, it is stated. Peterboro will be very strong and Kingston will bave a much better team than last year with the In: clusion of Bubs Britton, who per- formed most creditably for St. An- drew's in the Hampden Park group.

Noble 8teacy and H. C. Nickle Declined Presidency of C.0.B.L. Club. A meeting of the executive of the Kingston C.0.B.L. Baseball Club was held in the Board of Trade rooms, Wednesday night, for the purpose of electing the officers. Both Mr, Noble Steacy and Mr."H. C. Nickle were nominated a8 president for the en- suing years but declined the honor and it was decided to hold another meeting in about two weeks time. Several active baseball fans were suggested for president and before the next meeting these men will be interviewed about the matter. President Steacy was in the chair and there was a very small attend- ance. Mr. Steacy expressed his thanks to the executive for their hearty co-operation during the year and also took the opportunity to thank Manager J. Daley, the treas- urer, W. L. Kennedy, and W. Ar- neil, the grounds manager, for their work for the team. He expressed his congratulations to the team on their splendid showing in the past season. Mr. Steacy, when speaking about the financial condition of the club, stat- ed that the attendance this year was 6,000 less than that of last year but that the club was financially akead. He also spoke of the heavy expenses of the team in making the trips to outside cities to play. Asked to reconsider the matter 'of accepting the position of president, both Mr. Steacy and M?. Nickle de- clined, although the meeting was en- thusiastically in favor of either. The next meeting will be called by the acting president, Mr. Steacy. HOCKEY AT WINDSOR.
