Playing their best hockey of the; "geason, Queen's seniors won their first senlor Intercollegiate game of ~ the year at the Arena last night, de- feating McGill by a score of 2-1 after | "teh minutes of overtime. The game was the fastest and about the best played here this season but the at- tendance was very small. Queen's scored their first goal in the opening "gtanza and McGill in the last period. . The winning goai was notched in the frst two minutes of overtime play. © The work of the Tricolor was at all times outstanding and every © player on the team played a star @. MeGill set a terrific pace but con's more than kept up with itl and they were never on the defen-| sive for any length of time. In the ast period the play was even faster in the first two and the fans re treated to the best hockey they liable to see in the Intercollegi- ate for some time to come. Bt.

McMahon and MeGerrigle turn- in a star performance, their work only' being outstanding on' the ive but on the offensive as McMahon was particularly picuous on the lone rushes and orris was called upon many times to stop shots from the hefty defence man's stick after he had rushed the length of the ice. Abbott and Lynch also. played nice games, Abbott's ork in the last period being very "meat. Murphy played steady hockey "in the nets and had little or no ance to stop the two that were slip- ped by him, He was busy during the entire seventy minutes and hand- some very dangerous situations s Played Well If the stars of Queen's wére nam- od, every player on the feam would i included.

McGerrigle and Abbott combined for some nice rushes before Lindsay took the play into McGill territory, giv- ing Murphy bis first shot of the game to héndle, 'McMahon rushed the length of the i¢e to let thé rubber fly at Morris who cooly turned it aside and Lindsay tore away on a solo ex- cursion, beating the McGill defence only to miss'theé net. Abbott and St. Germain worked together nicely fol- lowed by a rush by McMahon, Morris making nice saves in both cases. After about six minutes of play, Lindsay slippe way and shooting from 'outside the defencé; grabbed the puck when it bounched off Me- Mahon"s pads to wade through and draw Murphy out of the nets for the first score of the game. Britton then took things in hand and treated the fans to some very fast rushes, each time forcing Murphy to his utmost to save, Lindsay drew the first penalty of the game for boarding a player. McMahon again turned in some valu- able work but could not fathom a way of slipping the disc by Morris. Britton agalli rushed only to be turn- ed back by Murphy and this was fol- lowed by a lone effort on the part of Abbott, Morris being called upon to make .a brilliant save. Both teams were hitting it off at a dizzy pace when the session ended. Second Period.

St. Germain was able to break away a few times and treated Morris to shots that had any- thing but bullets stopped for speed. Lindsay salled down the ice on an individual effort but could not beat Murphy. = Rooney jumped into the fray and turmed in #omé@" valuable work before the period closed with Queen's still having control and their one goal lead. Third Period. The fans were due for some won- derful hockey in the last period. Bt. Germain again tested Morris but de- ite his dangerous shot.could not tally. Raonoy broke away on a fast rush but falled to score and Lynch returned the compliment, fooling the Tricolor defence but not Morris. Lindsay and Legon combined for some nice efforts but Murphy was stopping everything in sight. Ab- bott worked his was through to Mor- tis but missed an open net. After about eight minutes of play, Lynch starting from his own defence, slip- ped away all alone and circling the Queen's defence registered the tying goal. Both teams were working their hardest to break the tle and the pace was one that was surely telling on their condition. Idndsay '{ and Legon tried repeatedly to beat the McGill defence but found the task an impossible one. Boucher swept down the ice only to miss the net and Abbott gave the Tricolor SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT Hockey fans who did not attend the senior Intercollegiate game at the Arena last night missed what was, and is lHkely to be, the best game of the season. The pace was fast and furious and there was plenty of excitement for which the real fan is always looking. > 8t. 'Germain certainly does pack a wicked shot and Morris felt the «ffects of<many of them, even though well padded. St. Germain is a real hockey player with plenty of speed, a wonderful shot and fine sporting spirit. He is also a very clean player and is one that any real hockey fan would take great delight in watching in action. "Bubs" Britton showed great speed last night and uncorked some rushes that left the McGill players away behind. "Bubs" can handle the hickory every bit as well as the pigskin and 'has proved a valuable addition to the Queen's team. : The majority of the local fans are fearful that the Kingston juniors will have it slipped over them from over-confidence, if they keep on. It's pretty hard to please the public. If the .boys are winning they're not satisfied and "if they lose they howl. It's pretty Kard for the players to know just what to do to please everybody. the main attraction in the" spott o-morrow at Grant Hall, and, if all go who have been 0 big crowds will see the different Contests.

BIG ASSAULT ON TO-NIGHT Bell Lynch Smith tain of the Blue and White team, is reputed to be one of the best wrest- lers in the 123 pound class that the Intercollegiate has yet produced.

"There's no harm in frying to do something impossiblg!" sald George Sisler, = manager of the St. Louis Browns, when asked recently if he had tried to get Walter Johnson in the deal Johnny Tobin to the Senators for Toil Zachary and Win Ballou. It seems that "Bucky" Harris, the Senators' mentor, opened the nego- tiations with Sisler by asking for Bush and Tobin.! Sisler, who is an- other David Harum, promptly re- plied: fe "You can have them for Walter Johnson!" Harris reeled as if hit on his think tank with a sledge hammer. Then, recovering his mental balance, he exclaimed: . "Are you crazy?" & © "No! 'm as sane as you are! Give me Walter Johnson and the deal is closed. Johnson, you know, can't keep on pitching forever!" ich sent Joe Bush and | roll in the hope of having him con- tinue this season. Carroll informed Wetzel that he was absolutely through, but. added that he had handed the franchise to Allan Has- son, secretary of the Hamilton Club and Mr. Basson when interviewed stated that he was ready to go on.
