ornered een's Won Sensational Battle From Varsity Here on Saiuray By the Close Score of 31 Blue and White Staged Remarkable Rally in the Last Quarter the Score--Batstone Subjected to Ejectrified Srowd by Fifty-five (BY CLAIR DEVLIN.)

First Queen's 'had the ge and play in the first quarter put Varsity strictly on the defensive. , In the 'second quarter, Var- 'sity put up a better fight. Coming nto the last period of the game, turn defeat into victory and but | the magnificent play of Peewee Chantler, the diminutive ' little Quesn's half-back, Varsity would gertainly have won, It was a narrow "escape for Queen's when Trimble broke around Queen's left and after taking a pass from Snyder, tore fifty-five yards up the field. He was headed for a touchdown as sure as guns and, after passing the last Queen's defence, he was on his way i to get behind the posts. The play, the most outstanding of the entire "game, brought the crowd to their feet, and visioxs of defeat stared the gen's supporters in the face. But far off to the left was little Ohantler. Taking in the situation at a glance, and tearing across the field with all the speed that he could muster, he escaped the side-arm of Trimble, secured a bare hold on the E Varsity man with the tips of his fin- { gers and brought him down. He'sav- ed the day and stemmed off defeat E when it seemed inevitable that Var- 8ity would get a touchdown, It was #'hard break for the Bilge and White t a brilliant effort on their part and equally as brilliant, even more #0, taking in the elrcumstances; on § Chantler's part, to save the day. Chantler is undoubtedly the hero of Saturday's game for that one play alone, despite the wonderful work of the other players for all their work would have gone for naught, had ible ever got by Chantler. For the full sixty minutes of the "wontest two fighting teams battled { with might and main for a victory. ach team tried everything within p for mastery but outstanding the fighting end of it was the stand made by Varsity in the last juarter.

Varsity were fighting hard to stem the tide and with play right on their own line and Queen's holding Iike| demons, it seemed inevitable that Queen's soon would score. Despite Varsity's efforts to clear from their 'position by line thrusts, Queen's held for two downs and Trimble was forced to kick away, Batstone run- ning back the ball to Varsity's 30- yard line. Plunges by Brown, How- ard and Monohan cut the distance by ten yards Batstone broke through | the centre and with the ball fifteen | yards out, he dropped back to a field | goal. The ball went wide to the left, | however, but Trimble was forced to| rouge when "Liz" Walker went in fast to drop him behind the posts. Queen's 1, Varsity 0. TORONTO'S BREAK. After Sinclair had made five yards on a skirt to the left, Queen's were forced to give yards to Varsity on a penalty. Varsity fought back hard with line plunges but despite the speed of thelr thrusts, Queen's tack- led 'hard and true and even the grea: Snyder was held in close check. U of T. fell in for a break alter they were held on line efforts. Trimble's kick went to Batstope at the latter's 35-yard line and he made a brilliant run of ten yards in taking it back but in the heavy tackle, the ball slip-| ped from him and Varsity secured | possession. The break encouraged] Toronto and gave them a chance to strike an offensive style and throw Queen's into the position which they themselves had been up against until this time. After unsuccessful efforts by Sinclair and Hargraft to plerce Queen's wall for a subgianiial gain, Trimble booted to Voss at Queen's 10-yard line and fbr the first time in the game Varsity really threatened. At this point Daly, Dundas and Rykert were sent in for Murray Snyder, Stollery and Bales, these men, of reporting to the bench, be- ing immediately sent to their dress- ing rooms to put on their mud cleats. Two plunges by Monohan made yards for Queen's and Reynolds and Monohan repeated the process. The Varsity Tine wavered again and Bat- ston drew another five yards off the distance but a penalty, in which Hank Brown was ordered to the bench, cost Queen's ground and the forced to kick, the ball going to Trimble at Queen's 55. Trimble fumbled the Ball but made a lucky recovery. Play ended there for the first quarter. After making a determined stand in the opening seconds of the second quarter, a bad snap out to Batstone nearly allowed Varsity to break throagh but by swerving to the right, Batstone was able to get the ball away on the rum, Trimble receiving and running the ball back seven yards before he was tackled by Nagal and McKelvey.

Queen's 1, Varsity 0. -- A COSTLY PENALTY. No sooner had play commenced in the third quarter than Queen's fell in for a break: but it was very short- lived and resulted in nothing much being gained. Britton returned the kickoff to Trimble and the latter fumbled 'the ball into Monohan's waiting arms. The big fellow car- ried the ball to Varsity's 25-yard line before he was tackled, going fit- teen yards in the rush that looked for the moment as though he were on his way over for a touch. Bales was chased. Queen's were called for failure to give yards and Varsity were put in possession. Trimble was | not long in kicking away and It! caught Voss off his stride. As the long, low kick came to Voss, he slip- ped and the ball passed him but Batstone covered him on the play and secured the ball at Queen's 50. | Batstone was hurt but stayed in| the game. Queen's opened up the! play and a Batstone to Voss end | run accounted for a'gain of 15 yards. | Drives by Monohan and Voss failed | to impress the ""T'" line. Each team | was battling bard and praying for a | break-that might come its way. The | tacklers were in their glory and the! exchanges gave them plenty of scope | to get in their deadly work. Bat-| stone, doing the kicking, was battling | it out in the aerial route with Sny- | der, who was now booting for Var | sity and the Queen's man had the! better of this end of the argument, | Snyder kicking into touch more than | once in his anxiety to get the ball] away fast. Voss was hurt In a| tackle and was replaced by Chantler. | Play was deliriously exciting and chasiged from one- territory to the other rapidly. The punting was long and high on both sides and the wings of both teams were tearing away fast under them. Both lines were tightening, necessitating ad] vance Uy the aerial route but receiv-| ers of the ball on either side found little chance for a break. 'Play was at Varsity's 45-yard at the end of the third quarter. As soon as the teams had changed over for the last stand, Batstone kicked to the open field and the ball rolled to Varsity's 25-yard line. made a beautiful tackle of Snyder when he looked to be clear. Snyder tried a run to the right' but seemed bewildered. He cut in and was again promptly held. Chantler took the kick and. holding the ball out in front of him, fought his way through four Varsity tack- lers to take 10 yards. Queen's fore- ed Varsity back again and Baistone kicked to Sinclair at the "T" 10-yard line. Reynolds was hurt when Stol- lery plunged and was carried off Varsity were fighting desperately and Queen's threatened to again séore. The ball was snapped out to Snyder behind the Varsity line. He rushed to the right and tried to skirt the end to shake free but he was thrown behind the line, forced for a safety touch. Queen's 3, Varsity 0. Pandemonium broke loose and the Queen's supporters cheered ldstily and the nolse-making devices were worked to death: of PLAY WAS HALTED. The excitement was too intense for some on the bleacher side of the field and play was halted while po- lice cleared the side of the field and forced the crowd back. The momen- tary halt must have had some effect [yards pn a com PRESTIGE LOTHES tailored by Semi-ready bear the unmistakable mark of a prestige based upon twenty-five years achieve- ment.
