Frontenac Regiment Qualified to meet Live Wires in the 'first half senior final on the 13th of the month. The Junior Game, In the junior fracas between the ¥Victoria-Boohoos and Reglopolis, the Vic-Boohoos had a job on their hands for the most of the time and the Reglopolis gave them an inter- _ esting battle, especially in the first two periods but in the last frame the Vie.-Boohoos stepped. out in front and got down to some of their better work. The Victaria-Boohoos did not play as neat "hockey as they did 'against the Maroons and they evi- { dently had the idea that they were in for something soft When they started out but after they found what the going was like, they tight- ened up: 3 . Of the six goals scored against Reglopolis, the Garnet and Gold scor- ed three against themselves. Their work in rushing at times was real nod but when it came to close in defence work around their own net, they got badly fussed up and were Yory slow in breakifiy away. The Vic.-Boohoos were able to crowd in and confuse them and they had many narrow escapes from having more scored against themselves. Hughes in the Regiopolis nets had a busy 'evening all right. In the first period the Regis out- scored one against themselves but oy staged a comeback and evened "gount.

In exhibition games to date they have won by big scores. Exhibition games do not always show which way the wind is blowing, but there is every reason to believe that the Thomas boys are stepping at a merry pace. "Babbler" Brooks, the gecond string goaler of the Kingston inter- mediates, has the goods to step in against any team that meets.the local crew. Brooks is a better goal-tender than he is given credit for. As soon as he is given a chance to display his wares he'll be able to show the fans that there is some good goal-tending material left jn Kingston despite the departure of such stars of the nets as Dr. Charlie Stewart, "Flat" Walsh and others. Queen's seniors play their first international game in the Arena Gardens at New York to-night, when they stack up against Willlams College. R.M.C., Varsity, McGill and University of Montreal have all made good showings and it is up to the Tricolor to keep up the good record of the Canadian collegés. Qifen's open up their Intercollegiate schedule next Saturday night in Montreal when they meet McGill in the opening tussle. Queen's will drop off at Montreal on Saturday on their way back from New York, and, 'after a-couple of hard games away on the other side, should be in good form to meet Shag's men. §t; Germain, the McGill flash, will get a big share of the attention from Capt. "Dunc" Boucher and his company of stick-handlers. A great scientist was quoted recently as saying that there was some- thing wrong with the mind of a person who could see no good in anybody or anything and who was continually finding fault and presenting de- structive criticisms. At that rate there are a few of this type in attend- ance at most of the City Hockey League games. A person who signs himself "Hockonian," which we suppose means condition lasted. "Jock" Millan was rather effective until he too began | to look longingly at the plafers' box but 'there were no subs. After that | he was more or less out of the pic- ture with .the exception of the odd rush. Taugher saved his team from a worse defeat and played nice hoe- key all through the piece. He didn't have a chance in the world to stop any of the shots that got by him. For the winners Tommy Angrove, Hudgins and Watts were outstand- ing although Art Purdy worked hard all the way through and did not give up trying. "Happy" Murray, Lanos, "Deacon" Dunlop were effective players. Holman in the nets was called on to handle some difficult shots and he did his work well. The teams: . Frontenac Regiment--Goal, Hol- man; defence, Angrove, Hudgins; centre, Purdy; wings, Murray, Lanos; subs., Watts, Dunlop. Regiopolis--Goal, Taugher; de- fence, Dungan, Boyce; centre, Mil- lan; wings, Muchmore, McGrath; sub., Davidson, Referee--Art Casterton. KINGSTON TEAMS IN HARD DRILLS Intermediates and Juniors to Have Wednesday Night to Themselves. \ Kingston's junior and intermedi- ate O.H.A. teams will hold their im- portant workout of the season at the Arena, Wednesday night, in prepara- tion for their first: gtmes of the sea- son on Friday night, which will be Both local tedins have been practising re- gularly and at Wednesday night's workout will get down to fine points and receive the finishing touches. The outlook for the junior téam is very bright this year and the fans are expecting them to come through. Very valuable material has been un- govered by the junior City League and all the candidates have shown exceptionally fine form in practices. Coach Gelley will have a hard time picking the team and the players that are to represent Kingston at Brockville on Friday will have to show their stuff in the practice to- morrow. Every candidate for the team is advised to be on hand as The team will likely be moulded from the showing in this practice. The intermediates are also going good and should at least equal last season's showing. "Joe" Smith is hitting a faster pace than ever and Bellringer is surprising ev. 'With his flashy playing. ther | the nets fans will feel safe with 'The intermediates 'sur- ocal fax last this year. | The first two, * he explained, "must season and | ing, a 'hockey fan, has left us a postcard with the following: "The fans are hungry for some good h ockey. Cannot Peterboro be brought here for an exhibition game 2" Evidently the writer of the card is not aware that the intermediate O.H.A. schedule opens on Friday and the local team will be busy from then on. A hockey follower should surely know that. While on the subject of receiving communications, we would like fit much better if writers of cards or letters would sign their names to their writings and give their addresses. It is courtesy, if nothing else, The senior game last night rv Rbeioon and Frontenac Regi- ment was disappointing. The condition of the two teams was more or less awful and it is to be hoped that when they go into the second half of the series that they will settle down and do a little bit of conditioning Nobody enjoys looking at players who are fagged out in two or three minutes and then start to bust up the game just because they don't feel right. Unless the Frontenac Regiment show about fifty per cent. more speed against the Live Wires on the 13th of the month in the senior final for the first half, than they did last might, it is har dto say what score the Wires will run against them. Regiopolis were no better off for condition, but the Frontenac Regiment started off so well that their drop is noticed much more. . ) : Young Gibson of the Victoria-Boolioos is one of the hardest workers that the squad possesses and he is a valuable man to his team. Gibson never gives up trying and his effectiveness in stopping rushes of the opposition has been very noticeable. He has the marks of being a star performer a little later on. At present he is playing nice hockey and coming along well, It is nice to see fans take their sport sertously and enter enthusias- tically into whatever game they are watching and, if they wish; give vent to their feelings, provided, of course, they are not too strong, but it is another story when a fan or player carries a grudge out of the 'Arena, the baseball or football park with him, whatever the care may be. A real sport never carries a grudge resulting from a game of any sort and it. is a very foolish thing for anyone to do that. It doesn't get anybody any place and when the game is over the best thing to do fs to forget whatever unpleasantness has cropped up. It is the sign of what is called a "poor sport" to carry a sport grudge, and surely nobody wants to be' called a poor sport. own view of this youngster was enough to convince me that here is: a great' little fighter, one who. will] be even greater within another six months," he asserted.

In one of his hockey talks on rules and situations arising in the game, Lou Marsh says: There is no rule in any of the hoe- key codes governing the introduction of extra pucks on the ice. The prob- lem is one to be decided by the re- feree. If anyone connected with a pro hockey club delibérately threw an extra puck upon the ice for the pur- pose of delaying the game or stop- ping an opponent's rush or rally or for the purpose of giving his own team a chance to recover from a "blow-up" the referee would prob- ably impose a fine and put the mat- ter up to the league executive. In amateur hockey he would be quite justified in penalizing the side offending the loss of a man for five or ten minutes, Certainly he would report the incident to the secretary of the league for action. When the extra puck comes from the audience the official is handi- capped. If a gohl was scored while the extra puck was on the ice the referee would have to exercise his own judg- ment as to whether he allowed the point or not. It would all depend whether or not the extra puck had been played by mistake by the de- fending side. 'If the defenders are confused by the fact that there is an extra puck the referee should cer- tainly disallow the goal. Some years ago in Ottawa someone threw a ball on the ice in a pro game and a goal was scored before the ball was discovered by the referee, Some of the players had been at- tracted by the ball and there was a big how! from the visiting ' team when Ottawa was allowed to count the goal. A good rule to follow when the puck comes from the crowd would be to blame the introduction of the puck on the home fans and give the visitors any advantage they might obtain and refuse the home team 'anyeadvantage they might se- cure. That would probably bring the wrath of the home fans upon the head of the offender, be he home town or visiting partisan. ------------ New York, Jan. 5.--Tex Rickard has offered a diamond-studded belt to the winner of a lightweight box- ing tournament to be conducted at Madison Square Garden.
