ENGLISH RUGGER HAS ITS FRIENDS Favored In Some Quarters to the Canadian Game, English 'Rugby in Canada in pre- ference to the game as played to-day under the Canadian code was the subject of an informal debate at the annual dinner of the McGill Rugby Football Club, held at the week-end and the brunt of the offence in favor of the adoption of the English game was carried by Sir Arthur Currie, principal of McGill University. Many of the speakers took part in the dis- cussion, though it was in the nature of an open forum and no action was taken on the matter. Sir Arthur Currie speaks with the authority of one who has seen both games played at their best. In Brit- ish Columbia for many years he wit- nessed Rugby under the English code as played by such smart ex- ponents of the game as the Univer- sity of British Columbia fifteen, of Vancouver; the James Bay and other clubs in Victoria, as well as visiting teams from California and Australia, which played in the west at various times both prior to and following the war. Greater competition within Can- adp and the Empire was one of the main points brought forward by Sir Arthur in speaking in favor of the English game as opened to Cana- dian football, which he thought was showing a decided tendency towards the American style of football, the principal supporting the game, which he felt should be the uniform type of football played throughout the Commonwealth. Other points brought forward were the heavy casualties in the Canadian game---Sir Arthur undoubtedly having in mind the two serious cases at McGill this year, in which Eddie Hanna and Keith ~~ Gifts He Wants from a Store He Likes!

LOOKING IN. R.M.C, squad held another workout at the Arena yesterday afternoon and showed great stuff. The cadets have sdme good material this year and should go a long way in the Intercollegiate race. Olympics and 'Victoria-Boo Hoos are practising hard for the first junior city encounter at the Arena Monday night and the teams are showing up very well in their work-outs. The junior league this year should be productive of real, snappy hockey, and, as there are six teams in the league, there will be strong competition. The Regiopolis Club senior city entry held a practice at the Arena last night in preparation for their game with Queen's on Monday night. The Garnet and Gold boys have some good players and intend making a strong bid for the honors in the senior series this season. It is about time the junior O.H.A. candidates snapped out of it and turned out to the practices. With the fine material there is in this city, there is no reason why there should not be at least twenty candidates out to every practice. A player cannot make the team if he does not attend the work-outs. -- Western football may not be up to the standard of that in the east, but Edmonton, and Alberta generally, is of the opinion that the game made sufficient progress this season to justify the expectation that ma- terial improvement may be expected in the near future. Edmonton, th e years ago national finalists, withdrew from the game this fall, but ' versity of Alberta had a good team, which Edmontonians believed capable of beating the Regina team, which latter fell to the Winnipeg team which came East. Fooball crowds at Edmonton this seascn were larger than ever before, and the game vastly more popular. The Edmonton Com- mercial Grads' girls' basketball team, which went to the Olympic games last year, resolved not to play any U.S. teams this season, and compe- tition was limited, so that the Alberta city was without much sport. Football authorities in Alberta are highly pleased with the outlook for Mm] next season. the Arena yesterday afternoon and pleased with the prospects. again out at the Arena last night.

Doull, both narrowly escaped fatal injuries. Other speakers supported the {deas of Sir Arthur, especially those which were based on a desire for greater competition in football throughout the Dominion and Em- pire, but felt that with the English game played with the spirit of com- petition that pervades in Canada the same difficulties would | eventually be encountered in the English game as are at present found in the Cana- dian game.

The Canadian West has plenty of good football players, and plenty of money with which to send them East every year 1{o meet the Eastern champions in the national finals. De- spite the 24 to 1 beating of Winni- peg by Ottawa in the senior series, the Regina juniors, Western cham- pions, will meet Montreal in the final of that division at Montreal on Saturdiy. When subscription lists {are opened in Western cities for the purpose of sending hockey, football and basketball teams East, sums ade- quate to the purpose are readily forthcoming. There is no reason at all why the West should not produce football players just as good as those Of the Hast, and teams potentially as strong, but the "grid" teams from beyond Lake Superior have shown Dothing whatever of so-called mod- ern football. Here is a friendly tip; Let the Westerners spend their money for capable coaches for a year or two, and then "take a shot" at the East. The money would thus be spent to better advantage than in the futfle attempts to compete on equal terms with specialized Eastern teams, ? REGINA PATS HAVE A SPLENDID RECORD Regina, Sask., Dec. 10.--Supreme in Western Canada junior football just as they were supreme in western hockey, Regina Patricias are enroute East on their way to meet the Mont, real A.A.A. In the Canadian junior gridiron final on Saturday afternoon. The record of the Pats in football Is strikingly similar to their career in the hockey play-offs last March, when they captured the Dominion title. The puckchasers lost their first game of the play-off to Mani- toba University 5 to 2, but they tied the series in the second affair, won the third. clash and never suffered another defeat, winning twice from Calgary, Fort William and Toronto's famous. Aura Lee aggregation On the gridiron this fall, the "Pats" also dropped their first fix- ture to the Regina Tigers by a 2 to 1 'score. After that they hit their stride, won the Saskatchewan title by trouncing the Tigers, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon--whipping the latter in the final 30 to 1.

Marriott Does Not See Four Down Idea "1 see," says "Lis" Marriott, of Hamilton, "that Billy Hughes, coach of the Queen's team, is in favor of four downs because he thinks it will open the game up. I don't agree with him. In my opinion introduc- ing an extra down would only fend to tighten the game up and make it 'less open than 'it is foday. If would mean that the teams would do very little besides hitting the line. Nowadays when a team has a few yards to go and only one down left in which to make the distance it usually kicks.
