SPORTING WEST COMING T0, BEAT THE EAST? The Tammany Tigers Come From Club With an Envi= able Record. Winnipeg, Nov. 24.--Winnipeg fans are anxigusly awaiting the Canadian rugby final, in which the Tammany Tigers, a Winnipeg team, will be one of thé principals for the first time in history. In the past National rugby clashes between east and west have been looked upon as merely the start of a campaign by the west to bring rugby to a higher plane and to learn from the east. This season the situation is differ- ent, Tor the strength displayed by the Tigers has led many to believe they will provide real competition in the final and show the east just how much the game has improved in the west. The Tiger club is a worthy repre- sentative for the national final. Not only have they been prominent om the rugby fleld for 11 seasons, but they have cut a big figure in every branch of sport. It is by far the greatest all-round sportifg organiz- ation in the west. For two seasons now the Tammany Tigers have captured the Manitoba lacrosse championship, and have done it so decisively that efforts were made to send them after the Maun Cup, a series which fell through at the last moment. The club has also been very prominent in baseball, hoc- key and basketball, and what fis greatly to their credit is the fact that they have developed nearly all their senior material, bringing them from thelr own minor league 'teams. In 1924 the club won the Manitoba sepior baseball title, the intermediate baseball title, were beaten Tn the pro- vincial hockey final, and captured the Manitoba junior hockey title. Ad- ded to this was the lacross champion- ship in senior and junior divisions, It is safe to say that no rugby FOR SALE Houses, lots--best locations in the city. New Dominion of Canada Bonds.

Corner King and Princess Streota. pecials For This Week ite--worth THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG [oo Lo FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN After pulling off funny stunts all last season, the O.B.A.A. has caused another run of laughter locally by its action in "suspending" former President B. Noble Steacy and former Manager Joe Daley for defaulting to Niagara Falls. The O.B.A.A. practically forced Kingston to defamit by holding the team up for three weeks and now comes along and blames Kingston. It is to laugh. Many inquiries are being received at the Whig as to when the City Hockey League will be meeting to make arrangements for the season. For the information of those concerned, Mr. Charles Taylor, president of the league, is out of the city at the present time and nothing can be done until he returns. As soon as he comes back it is likely that he will make some niove towards getting the league under way again. Just in passing, it might be mentioned that the City League will require strong men to guide it this winter. There will be several important problems to face and these will require sound and sane advice. The different clubs, which should not number more than four, should see to it that they elect good men to lead their league this year. It everybody goes to Ottawa who say they are going, the whole of Kingston practically will be moved to the Capital for the big meeting between the Ottawa Senators and the Tricolor. The big cars and the little "cans" are being overhauled jaunt to Ottawa on Friday. this week in preparation for the terial for a champlonship rugby team than the Tigers, but tiey have lack- ed real high-class coaching. Harold Roth, the coach of the team, is a brilliant plunger and tackler, but he was a United States rugby star for many seasons and is hardly as effi- cient at the Canadian game. How- ever, Roth has had Fred Ritter help- ing him of late, and it is expected the players will have a few new tricks in their bag before leaving for the east. In their games this season the Tigers have relied mainly on bucking and kicking, with a few end runs in- termingled. This has proved good policy against local teams because the Tiger line is one of the most pow- erful ever gathered here, superior to that of the Eskimos, who went west in 1923, But considering the wealth of material on the team and the fact that three of the halfbacks are ten- second men, they could certainly work trick plays to advantage. QUEEN'S FAVORED. Should Be Able to Win Over Ottawa on Saturday. Who is there to stop Queen's? Balmy Beach, Ontario Union cham- pions, a bigger, more powerful team than the Tricolor, failed to do it on Saturday, although they are the only opponents of the habitual champions who have succeeded in crossing the Queen's goal line this season. The Ontario standard-bearers ploughed into the Intercollegiate champions without reserve, but withal fairly. It is doubtful whether the Kingston team has been subjected to so hard a gruelling In two seasons. That plan of campaign failed to stop Coach Hughes' men, and Ottawa, champions of the Interprovinciai Union, will now take up the task cf trying to wrest the national honors from Queen's, after which, if the Ot- tawans are unsuccessful, the West- ern Canada champions, Winnipeg, will take their turn at the student com! tion which has compiled a better record than any other foot- ball team in the history of the game in Canada. Saturday's game was a carnival of fumbling, both sides of- fending more than in any other con- test this year, but the winners never- theless displayed form which will make them favorites against Ottawa next Saturday. Balmy Beach have the proud distinction of scoring the only touchdown made agains: Queen's this geason. True, it was the result of a fumble, but it should be remembered that Queen's were it{ Just as fallible against other teams as against the Ontario champions, the {| difference being that the latter exert. ed sustained pressure against the Tricolor defense until the break favored them. Ottawa will not in- terrupt the Queen's march if the Kingstonians have all of their regu- lars in condition for the contest next Saturday.--Toronto Globe. mmm, and a great struggle should result. Queen's didn't look unbeatable. They left that impression on many of the fans. Their plays were easily solved, but at that Quarterback Bald- win was to blame. He took every third plunge himself, and he went into that heavy Balmy Beach line standing erect as if on parade. Balmy Beach took more chances. Twice they tried for yards on the third down. They also attempted tn catch every ball. On the other hand, Queen's kicked several times on the third down with only inches to go, and when Robertson liftéd the bail over the goal line they allowed it to roll off the fleld. Safety-first methods have brought Queen's a long way. Even Harry Batstone fell for the fumbling stuff. The ball was taking queer jumps and glides, and it was hdrd to W6ld. "Pep" Leadley put so much "stuff" on the pigskin that sometimes he was unable to meet it squarely and it skidded off his edn- cated foot, and off the fleld as well. Balmy Beach had no reason to fear their opponents as far as weight goes. The locals towered over the most of the Queen's men, and on nearly all the plunges a Tricolor-clad warrior was knocked out. Gib Me- Kelvey and "Red" McKelvey, two of the Queen's stalwarts, were unabie to finish the game. Both were suf- fering from injuries received re- cently. Queen's did not appear to be un- beatable. They have won 28 gamus in succession since late in 1932, and they are a great team, but even at that they failed to show emough on Saturday to frighten the Ottawa Senators into subjection. Joe Miller, Joe Tubman, Coach Dave McCann, Secretary Fraser, Quarterback Lynch, Charlie Connell and Charlie Snelling of the Ottawa team saw the game, and had no hesitation in say- ing that they fully expected to stop the march of the Queen's machine. Uf Queen's depend on a kicking game, and Tubman and Miller catch faultlessly, there will be plenty of excitement at Lansdowne Park next Saturday afternoon. It is suggested that Queen's did not use their best ground-gaining plays, knowing that Ottawa players were occupying box seats. The Senators are confident that they can break up the attacks used against Balmy Beach. "Bubs" Britton, former Beach play- er, showed the fans why Argos and Balmy Beach were eager to securc his services this season. He was the best man on the field in the first half when he was at flying wing, but he wasn't given much chance to do any starring in the second half spending most of the time oh the substitutes' bench. For the first time in years "Bud" Thomas was unable fo lead 8 § fz dg i ig £ i 4 os & A Still The Most For TheMoney Globe. A HOCKEY NEETING HELD AT QUEEN'S Athletic Director Hughes Ad- vises Immediate Training for the Players. There was a very good attendance at the meeting held by Queen's Hoc- ; key Club in the Arts Building, Mon-| day afternoon, at which President || Donald Lough presided. After the | minutes were read, Athletic Director | Hughes addressed the gathering, ! pointing out that there were five teams which the hockey players in Queen's had an opportunity to play for. He spoke of the great oppor-! tunity hockey players at Queen's had and stated that any person who play- | ed hockey, or wished to learn tha game, should turn out with the teams and that the game should be § taken seriously. He spoke of Queen's great success on the gridiron and. also of their great fame in hockey years ago, The spirit should prevail now, he advocated, and there was no reason why Queen's should not turn out teams of the calibre' of those years ago. He requested that the players start training immediately, as there will be ice next week for practice, and it was decided to hold the first meet this afterncon, when the candidates for the teams will, run, to get into condition, ! Mr. Hughes then shook hands with each candidate present and impress- ed upon them the necessity of turn- ing out to the practices and also of advising other players whom they knew. Before the ice practices com- mence, work in the gym will be held for the players. W. Cook was elect- | ed junior manager.
