Even if he does not land this position it is a certainty that he will not be with Otiawa this year, R. Quain, a former Ottawa College player, who competed for the 77th Battery last year at Ottawa, is in To- | ronto, attending Osgoode Hall, and may figure on one of the Toronto O. H. A. senior teams. The Ottawa club will be the last {of the N.H.A. teams to get down to | practice, but as they will have at | least three weeks of preliminary work they, like the all the other N. H.A. 'teams, will be fit and ready when the season opens. { Word has been received from | Shorncliffe, England, that Leth { Graham, the former Ottawa player, is in bad shape at one of the hospi- tals there and may lose a leg. An- other Ottawa player, "Punch" Broad- bent, and one of the best right wing | A., has been slightly wounded, but is | still at the front. ! Con; Corbeau, who played with the Tecumsels in the N. H.

He coached the Regina club last vear, and may try for a place on one of the N.H.A. teams this year. Corbeau is much lighter than when he played in Toronto before. SIX-MAN HOCKEY Favored by the Toronto Newd for the O, H. A, The Toronto News says tq be the desire of the O. H. A. rule makers to speed up the game, hence the proposals. . to eliminate body- checking and the adoption of six- man hockey for smaller rinks, Judg- ing from the quality of the hockey shown in late years in the senior series the association would arrive at ~its object in more direct fashion it it followed the example of the pros, and limited the number of players on each team, irrespective of the size of "the rings, to six men. The rover could well be dispensed with, With fourteen players on the ice, in addition to the referee, even the largest playing surfaces are crowded and scrimmages are the rule, not the exception. Most of the rough play oceurs when the players are in close quarters and with two less men on the ice there would be fewer mix-ups. A premium would be placed on speed and only the best players would, be called into action. "Ty" Cobb, the Detroit been posing in New York for a six- reel film for him.

A lease has | been taken of 140. acres of Thorn- !cliffe for ten years, and the whole | deal is to be closed mext Thursday, ! the last day of November.

THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1916. World of Sport| HARVARD THE FAVORITE } FREE KiCKS | There is no 'public sale of Ameri- can Army-Navy game tickets. At- | | tendance at this annual fixture is by! invitation only. President Wilson, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Sec- retary of War Baker and other ex- ecutives of the services will attend. Jimmy Price, the well-known out- | side wing player of the Beaches team in the Toronto City League, is ill with blood poisoning, which developed in lan injury to his knee sustained early in the season. The Beaches propose {to give him a testimonial. The O.R.F.U. will endeavor to in- | corperate several new intercollegiate leagues in its junior series next fall, | including Barrie, Collingwood and { other southern towns, and the recent- | ly formed Lindsay-Belleville-Peter- |bore Inter-collegiate Institute Union, Pollard, the negro backfield player {of the Brown team, who is the foot- ball sensation of the States this sea- ison, weighs only 154 pounds. He {discards all the pads and equipment possible rather than retard his speed. {The negro is compared to Mahon. Thorp, Barrett, Brickley and other istars in the matter of all round abil- ity, and is unanimously selected for the mythical All-American team. "LAWN" TENNIS ON ICE Will Be Taken Up in New York This Coming Winter. If the plans of Fred B. Alexander, Davis Cup veteran and lawn tennis {player of international reputation, are successful some of the most prom- inent tennis players in the east will be playing for the "'ice tennis' champ- pionship within the next year. The idea of ice tennis is not a new one. Five or six years ago Alexander conceived his scheme, and a match was played on the ice, Benny ¥ Phillips, Karl Behr, Alexander and other tennis players taking part. Now the new sport wil be taken up i agdin, and it is Alexander's intention to put on a double match at the Ice Palace about the middle of December. Ice tennis, when played by such experts as Alexander and Phillips, is one of the most sensational sports in the world. Not only must the com- petitor be the most skilled of skaters to make the quick starts and stops necessary, but he must also be a tennis player of the first quality. The court will be of the regulation kind, with the lines marked out om the ice in black paint. Alexander hopes this special match may lead to an ice tournament this winter. WATCHING THEM CLOSELY Canada Immigration Officials Turned German Wrestlers Back. How strict a watch the Canadian | officials are keeping for aliens who | might be on errands for hostile countries is evidenced by the holding star, has gperation with a regular race meet- up of wrestlers bound for Detroit to compete in the international tourney. Evidently fearing that they were on malice bent and might be on se- cret missions for the foes of the Allies, officials at Fort Erie refused to allow three of the grapplers to go through Canada, and their con- trocts were all that saved them from | being thrown into prison. The promoters forwarded to Hans Assan, German; Victor Flirst and Ed. Delivuk, Austrians, transporta- tion by way of the Michigan Central through Canada, but the big fellows were held up at Fort Erie and forced to return and travel by an American | route. The delay nearly caused their fvetne late for the opening bouts. Your Relatives and. Friends.at the Front, or For Christmas, Their Favorite Brand. Milo Put Up In Boxes 10, 25, 50.
