Hanna, who did not figure for MeoGill against Queen's, will most likely be starte:d against Varsity, the freshman hal!- back having showm promising im- provement in condition during the past two days.

With the experiemce gained by the players geperally in the first game, supporters of the local collegians are looking forward to a mu closar game betweéon the two teams in the coming struggle than was witnessed in the MeGdll-Queen's dxture. Varsity is to date an unkmown quantity. - The game they played against the Old Boys of the U. of T. at Toronto on Saturday gave little indication of what the Intercollegiate team can do, though it served to bring out several points. Warren Snyder, than whom there is few bet- ter halfbacks in the game, gave every indication that he Is at his best, while Trimble, the freshman recruit who will play along side of Snyder on the half line, displayed puzzling speed against the Old Boys, as well as a good boot.

The following comments on Satur- day's game show generally that Queen's is looked tg as a contender for the Canadian title again this sea- son. Some of the remarks listed be- low are very apt, somo are not: According to eriticy who saw the Queen's-McGill game on Saturday Queen's did not deserve as big a mar- gin as the 24-3 score gives. They had weight and experience on their opponents but were short on condi- tion. They do not play for two weeks when they meet Varsity here and this defect sh~uid be remedied before that. Saturday was the first time that Johnny Evans had been in a scrimmage this year, and he was far from being the man of 1922. His line of talk and argumen! was all that was up to his last year's form.-- Toronto Mail and Empire. This is one of the foolish ones. Queen's were in fine shape last Saturday but-- unlike Varsity--they' are always satisfied with a comfortable score and do not try to swamp an opponent al- From the half-time period onwards Queen's used their substitutes and took things easy. In regards to the weight of the two teams, Montreal critics said there was not a pound of difference. performance of Johnny Evans, on Saturday was one of the best he has ever given and he and Hughes were the outstanding figures of the day.
