The records show that they are well matchéd. Queen's have scored 44 points against 25; MeGill 26 against 40, and University of Toronto 26 against 20. It would appear, therefore, that Queen's have the best scoring machine, and U. of | T. have slightly the better of the] going defensively.

That To- ronto failed to meet these opportuni- ties successfully is due more to the uncertainties of the game than to any lack of effort on the part of the players. i -- On the day's play the better team won. Stories of dissension in the ranks of the Queen's players can be discounged considerably, for the Tri- color esented a solid,~determined and harmonious front to University of Toronto. Led by the brilliant Batstone, Queen's played with a snap and dash that U. of T. could not cope with or even rise to. Bat- stone did mot spare himself. His spirit was contagious, and it is the | spirit that will . carry | Queen's to the title, If Saturday's | game is any criterion. Chantler | grabbed the glory when he brought down Trimble and prevented a touchdown. Chantler was compara- tively fresh, for he had not been in the game long when his big chance came. -- The tackling of both team was of a high order. Batstone was a mark- ed man throughout, and he was sub- jected to some of the stiffest tack- ling of his career. At one time three Toronto players all plunged for him and covered him like a blanket, but he came up &#miling. The punting was also good, and the wings gave the opposing backs little chance to make headway after the catch. The ground was too soft for the backs to start fast, and in the majority of cases, the ball was downed where it was caught. -- For Queen's "Irish" Monohan did some powerfyl line-plunging. He re- peatedly made five and ten-yard gains, and his work in this respect stood out all through the game.. He started Queen's back down the field toward Toronto's end when U. of T. threatened in the last quarter, and at various other times he brought bis team out of critical Situation by the strength of his attack.

Had Trimble heaving hard from his exertions been able to swerve past the little half pint back, it would have been all over but Chant- ler rose to the occasion and pitted his light frame against the heavier Trimble with total disregard for the consequence. It was an epic play of what was in - many ways an eple game. The game wasn't by any means the greatest rugby display of the year or of many years, but it was far above the average game when one considers the closehess of the score, the intensity of spirit that both team put into their play; the almost savage exultation of the con- tenders, and the remarkable clean- ness of play that prevailed. Under the sullen November sky old Queen's grads saw another Tri color team arise to the occasion. Not as great a team perhaps as the im- mortal Evans, Batstone, Leadley, McKelvey, Thomas et al. team of 1924 and preceding years, but one whose spirit was as great, and who again wrote another inspiring chap- ter in the tradition that Queen's is making by its rugby clubs. Queen's won because they were superior on the backfield, and Var- sity had no human catapult who could match the matchless "Irish" Monohan. The wandering boy played a wonderful game.

Add to this the treacherous conditions under foot. Batstone was at his best and that means almost cold perfection. He] caught without mishap, ran back | punts; and his work seemed an in- their own goal line, and almost wrenched their hard won victory from their grasp. It was an attack that carried the suddenly inspired Blue team right to the shadow of the Tricolor posts where their ad- vance was stayed by the Queen's adamantine defence, and only a point was gleaned for the spectacu- lar effort of the defeated team. Seldom has better defensive work been revealed by any teams, and the tackling was of a very high order throughout. It was a game in which neither side dared take a chance, and for this reason it looked at times as though dumbness prevailed in both quarters, and there was con- siderable of the two bucks and a kick atmosphere about the contest; but under the conditions, any other course would have been suicidal. Neither team cared to lose pos- session of the ball, except when es- sential, and they placed great depen- dence op line thrusts which, with few exceptions, were met by their opponents with checking plays that rendered this type of game abortive. Varsity took yards seven times to 'Queen's three, and four of these oc- casions came in the final session. Queen's had seemingly expended their strength, but were sulienly fighting inch by imch till their final effort thwarted the Blues with vie tory almost ir thelr clutches, nite "hopeful The Final Effort.

One of the most interesting topics of conversation om the excursion trains to and from Kingston on Sat- urday was the forward pass as seen here in the game between "Red" Grange's team and Wildcat Wilson's Californigns, and the possibility of its adoption in Canadian football Arguments were heard for and against the play and its inclusion in the Canadian game. Major Stuart Forbes, Manager of Athletics at Me- Gill. and President of the Canadian Union, has worked out a modified form of the forward pass which game without sweeping revision of the present code. It was tried out in the MSGI vs. McGill Old Boys game, and met with approval. Major Forbes' which the mates.

In other words, Major Forbes' plan would not | permit of an uncompleted forward pass and the return of the ball to the attacking side with the loss of one] dowp. If the pass was not success-| ful, the side gaining possession of the ball would retain it. Friends of 'te play maintained after the Queen's-Toronto game that, in view of the failure of the téams to make material gains through the line, around the ends, or aeriaily, they might have used the forward pass to good effect, and provided a more open and enjoyable contest as well.
