'Despite the fact That The local jun- dors are nine goals up on the round th the Trenton team, they will no doubt draw a large crowd due to thy fact that the real hockey fan Toves to see a good team in action and by looking over the Kingstbn 6am tonight, the fans will have the Opportunity of gazing on the very bable champions of the junior LH.A. this season. The old cry that the teams in the first game away from home do not Bet as many goals as they could so they could play for a return game at je, has gbne down and the fans were shown b¥sthe local juniors that this assumption was all wrong. Had 'Kingston 80 desired, they could have won by a goal or two or could have dost by a goal or two to play for a 'Bote on Wednesday night, but they went into the game for every goal they could get and they got them. . Despite the fact that the visitors 'will be a rather weak team, the local : ers of the winter pastime will ¥e the opportunity of seeing prob- ably a record score hung up for a home and home series.

In their last dncounter, the cadets were able to nose out with one goal in the lead, after overcoming a three-point lead in the last period. The Red and White have & strong squad this season and they are well seasoned in combination, which practically won their last géfe for them. They have every confidence of holding their advantage tonight or of even increas Ing it but they will have to put up a wonderful exhibition to keep the Queen's boys from taking the lead. ---------------------- OFFICIALS NAMED FOR BIG ASSAULT Elaborate Arrangements Being Made for Big Week-End Athletic Events. Great interest is being shown by those fans who have a following for the ring, in the big Intercollegiate assault-at-arms which 1s being held here on Friday and Saturday of this week and for which such elaborate preparations have been' madd by the Queen's authorities who are acting as hosts this year. The assault goes to the different Intercollegiate cen- tres in rotation, one year at McGill, one year at Varsity and then at Queen's, This year it is Queen's turn and every effort is being made by those in charge of the arrange- ments to make this year's assault one of the best held in years. The boxers and wrestlers up at Queen's fave been down to hard work in preparation for the events in which they will figure and while much has been heard of the strength of the McGill and Varsity this year, the Tricolor is unafraid and will en- ter the different events with a confid- ence not held in some time past. The officials have been appointed for the assault-at-arms and the re- boxing will be Lou i feree the wrestling bouts. Profes- sor MacIntosh will referee the fenc- ing. Profesor BE. L. Bruce and Mr. E. Walsh will be the boxing judges and Mr. George Stewart and Mr. P. F. Brockel will be the wrestling judges. The fencing judges will be B. T. England and James Bews.

'A" Battery met another defeat in the R.C.A. Inter-comipany Hockey League at the Arena, Tuesday after- noon, the 3rd. Heavies trouncing them by a score of 8-1. The run- away was not because 'A' Battery had slumped, but was due to the vast improvement of the Heavies... They showed much better combination and in every other department displayed their best form of the season. Daybell, A. Myke and HB. Pugh were the stars of the wi ners and had little trouble in stick-handling their way through the opposition time after time, Pugh's work was particularly outstanding and he broke away on many solo excursions that terminated with goals. Lesage played his usnal steady game in the nets and although not called upon very often, he handled some difficult shots during the sixty minutes, Lane and Goodie were the best on the "A" Battery lime-up and both played fast hockey, being about the only. players that could keep up with the winners. Goodie is a new addi- tion to the team and proved to be very strong on the defensive. He displayed some nice stick work but had a tendency to try to work his way through the defence every time he went down the ice. Lane was a constant worry to the Heavies and besides playing a steady back check- ing game, contributed many rushes, being very unlucky on several oc- casions when he was through the defence and missed the open net. The losers produced also a new net guardian iff Leeman and although he was very loose in the first stanza, he showed improvement in the last two and turned in some valuable work. vi The Heavies gained the lead in the first period when they swarmed down on Leeman and notched five goals while "A" Battery managed to chalk up one. The losers tightened up in the second period with the re- sult that the Heavies scored only e. In the final frame two more goals were slipped by Leeman, giv- ing the Heavies an undisputed vic- tory. The teams were: 8rd. Heavies--Goal, Lesage: de- fence, M. Pugh, Rowden; centre, Daybell; wings, BE. Pugh, A. Myke; spares, C. R. Myke, R. Pugh. "A" Battery---Goal, Leeman: de- fence, Goodie, McNeill; centre, Smith; wings, Lane, Tatton; spares, Middleton, Davis. Referee--R. Pugh, "B" Battery. She ------ % Qive Me Hockey » © The following poem by John Kieran, ih The New York American, aptly illustrates the hold v hich hoc- key has taken on the New Yorkers: I'm a fairly peacefyl man and an oldtime baseball fan, You can hear me yell when Hell- man hits the ball; And I howl when Ty Cobb stabs one, and I growl when Speaker grabs one, And I roar when Babe Ruth's homer clears the wall, But the diamond sport is quiet to that reeling, rousing riot, To a slashing game of hockey at its prime; It's a shindig wild and gay; it's a battle served frappe: Give me hockey--I'll take hockey ~--any time! Once, when crazy with the heat, I coughed up to buy a seat, Just to see a pair of robbers grab a purse, It was clinch and stall and shove and "Please excuse my glove." Till I blessed them with a healthy Irish curse. But for fighting, fast and free, grab your hat and come with me, Bure the thing that they call "box- ing' Is a crime. And for grand and lofty whacking and enthusiastic smacking, Give me hockey---1'll take hockey ~--any time!

More than threes decades ago Queen's saw its first period of success on the rugby field. In 1893, with Charlie Fox, Wicky Wilson, Jim Farrell, Harry Farrell, Charlie Webster and other stalwarts, it won the Dominion honors; in 1894 it took the O.R.F.U. championship, but lost the Dominion honors to Ottawa College by the close score of 8 to 7; in 1895 it lost the O.R.F.U. final to Toronto University. Some time afterwards the late HE. S. ("Chaucer") Elliott came on the stage and Queen's again shone in rugby. Then followed Jack and Ken Williams, who also brought gridiron glory to the Tricolor. A long period of reverses follgwed, until Queen's met the other two big universities with scientific coaching and training, and produced teams for four years that won every battle and only went down in the final game of 19256 before Ottawa. With the departure of the Old Guard, will Athletic Director Hughes be able to produce an Intercollegiate champion- ship team in 1926 and make it five years of victory in college football ? Many think he can, for he has the understudies of Batstone and Leadley on his back division, and Varsity will be without its great star, Snyder. It will be a great achievement if Queen's can come through as champions for a fifth successive year. A victory next fall would be a fitting climax to the close of the university's big endowment campaign. May both rugby team and endowment committee be successful 1 To-night's junior O.H.A. fixture between Kingston and Trenton should be a fast affair, with the visitors providing plenty of opposition, despite the fact that they were badly trimmed in their own lot. It is almost impossible for the Trenton boys to overcome the lead, but many strange things happen in a hockey game and one never can tell how things are going to end. The locals expect a stiffer battle and are prepared for it. ® To-morrow night Quesw's seniors tackle McGill in an Intercollefiate game. The Tricolor was defeated by Shag's men in Montreal and is de- termined to reverse matters to-morrow night. It is likely that there will be a large crowd on hand to see the game and McGill's star right winger, 8t. Germain, in action. » I The boxers, wrestlers and fencers will. hold sway at Kieen's on Friday and Saturday, Preparations for the greatest fistic and mat events of the local season have been completed and all is in readiness for the students to show their stuff In the ring. = McGill and Varsity are both reported to be well stocked with boxers and wrestlers, but they will find strong opposition in the Queen's representatives. Queen's intermediates are quite confident of overcoming R.M.C.'s one-goal lead to-night in the intermediate Intercollegiate game and win- ning the round. It should be a great old game if the boys display the hockey they treated the fans to in their last clash. Monday night marke the opening of the second half of the City Hockey Lewgue. The majority of the teams have been practising hard for the last lap. Indications are that the City League will have the most successful season this year it has experienced in some time. t's all go to the Arena to-night and see the junior. team in action, It is a treat for sore efed'to watch the way the Kingston team is working now and fans can get an idea of how far the local representatives are apt to go. : ne BASEBALL IS A GAMBLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH Experience With Youthful Stars and Veteran Players Is Very Interesting. so --d by the slugging of Bentley and the youthful abilities of Dean. a here's the queer slant: Afthur Fletcher, himself a vet- eran, set out to build up a pennant contender from other experienced veterans of the game.'

Three years ago John McGraw, doughty leader of the Giants, was the subject of much criticism, charg- ing that he "bought his pennants." It was an unjust accusation. Even when the Giant Mneup contained fully 50 per cent. men whom Mae had brought from the sticks and de- : veloped to greatness, But it rankled none the less. "I believe it's possible to build a team of youngsters from the minors and win a pennant," McGraw vow- &. "IN do it." He reached a long hand out to the drama gone a that automobiles are er, doubtless life will. Our guess is that the "truth serum" is made of a culture in the female of some species.
