'QUEEN S RUGBY STARS WHO HAVE ESTABLISHED A RECORD THAT SHOULD STAND FOR MANY YEARS TO COME FRANK "PEP" LEADLEY Half-back. © HERT AIRTH © Middle wing. el wa wR | friends J. 8. McDONBLL Becretary Queen's Athletic Board. Here are the men who figured on; Queen's in the 1925 season, win- ning the senior Intercollegiate title, eliminating Balmy Beach and los- ing to Ottawa in the Eastern Can- ada final: Captain Harry Batstone--Born in Toronto and came to Queen's four years ago. Was chosen as captain of the team this season and was popular with the players, He grad- ;uates in the spring. Batstone grad- uated from the Toronto Technical School before coming to Queen's. He starred with Argos on the back- field with Lionel Conacher and made Conacher the great football player that he was. When Batstone left Conacher the Big Train passed out as a great star. Batstone is a native of Toronto. Frank "Pep" Leadley--He came to Kingston from Hamilton where he had performed with the Hamil- ton Tigers. He graduated from the Hamilton Collegiate Institute after a brilliant course there. Since com- ing to Queen's he established a wonderful name for himself on the rugby field and last year was cap- tain of the Dominion champions. Gilbert "Gib" McKelvey -- He was born in Kingston and is a son of the late R. J. McKelvey. "Gib" first learmed his football at the Collegiate Institute under the guid- ance of Mr. E. O. Sliter and devel- oped fast at Queen's. He played great football on the backfield with Batstone and Leadley. ' "Bubs" Britton--Flying wing of the Queen's squad who figured pro- minently with U.T.S. and Balniy Beach before coming to Queen's this year. Britton has made many since coming to Kingston and is well liked by those who have met him. He played against Queen's last year in the Eastern Canada final at Toronto and was the out- standing star of the Toronto team. He has three years more to go at Queen's. Fred Baldwin --He has assumed the duties of quarterback of the Queen's team since Johnny Evans left Queen's University. He has de- veloped "into a splendid quarters back with particular capabilities as a field general. Baldwin came to Queen's from St. Thomas, his home town. He played with the St. Thom- as Collegiate Institute before com- ing Nere and also starred with the North Western University squad. erty Lewis Considered the back in the game in § Senses ® came a long way to Queen's, making the trip right clean from Victoria. He has been a tower of sesngih to the Tricolor team since he has handled the snap tion. He learned his football D 'Victoria Collegiate, but made his first. grand debat Q William Muirhea TT Terr W. A. CAMPBELL Medical adviser to Queen's rugby squad. wa as his home In stronger terms than ever now. Has been an inside wing with Queen's for the last few; years and has made his mark on the gridiron. "Unk" has been a plugger on the team from the word 80 and has been a most effective player. He graduated from Ashbury and figured on the Ashbury team before donning the Tricolor. ° Ronald Adams--The man from the open spaces whose size and strength bear out the description. Has paired off with Muirhead on the inside wing job. He halls from Woodstock where he played , with the Collegiate Institute team, be- ing one of the star performers with that outfit. Has been a tower of strength to the Tricolor since he joined the squad. John McKelvey -- One of the Limestone City products who well earned the name of the greatest middle. wihg in Canada. "Red" started . with the Collegiate team also and when with the Blue and White was one of the outstanding stars of the squad. Since going to Queen's he has established a won- derful reputation both gs a stud- ent and a football star. To be as great a middle wing as "Red" Me- Kalvey is the ambition -of many a coming 'football player. Bert Airth---Bert's home is in To- ronto and it was with the U.T.S. that he commenced his football car- eer. He was McKelvey's partner at middle wing but was out of the game for the most of the season, due to Injuries received in the ear- ly practices. Airth is considered one of the best line plungers in senior Canadian football. Eric "Bud" -Thomas -- "Bud" came from Ottawa and although sorry that his team was defeated, was glad that it was his home town that accomplished the reat. He first played football with the Ottawa Collegiate Institute and later play- ed with the Rough Riders. Without a doubt the best. outside wing in football today and a fiend at tack- ling "like a tone of bricks." Thom- as graduates this year and wil cer- tainly be missed by the Tricolor. Normaa "Lis" Walker--Thomas' running mate at outside wing and a worthy partner. Claimed by Ham- fliton and started his football with the high school of that city, later playing with the Hamilton Tigers. 'Walker is second to Thomas only when it comes to flying tackles and very seldom misses his man. Will Be with the Tricolor again next season in the role cf captain. Carl Voss--"Heine" was born in the United States bu' lived in Can- ada most of his life. Played with the Riverdale Collegiate: Institute and when with Queen's showed that he is a coming star. Proved an ideal unlerstndy for Leadley and capably tilled hig place when needed. Will be with" Queen's for a few more years and will fikely be a regular next season. WILFRED P. HUGHES Athletic Director at Queen's. oped into a finé guarter-back and an able man to. relieve Baldwin. Appeared at flying wing in the game with Ottawa and played a great game. A Kingston boy. Joseph "Bozo" Norrie--~ Comes from Truro and played with the high school in that town. Earned a great reputation as an inside wing with Queen's and hits the line hard. A happy-go-lucky boy who has made good with Queen's. "Don" McCrimmon-----A product of St. Thomas and an inside wing with the Tricolor. Has shown great pep and although a young chap, should make the grade for regulars next season. Harvey "Hank" Brown--One of Queen's hefties who parks his trav- elling bag in Toronto. Played with { U.T.S. and later with Parkdale and while: with Queen's showed great stuff at middle wing. "Jimmy" Wright-- Outside wing who started his career with Ridley at Hamilton. Played regular last year but stepped aside for Walker, a more experienced played. Is speedy and full of pep and will likely re- gain his regular position next year. Handsome Jimmy. "curt" wing man, who comes from Brock- ville. Played with the Collegiate Institute there and since coming to Queen's has earned a good reputa- tion as a flying wing. Douglas "Snag" Skelton Born in Chicago but .came. to Kingston while quite young and played with K.C.L. A valuable man who can fill any place on the line and be de- pended on.
