E. Roy Smith, a young man well and. favorably known in Belle. ville. He is a nephew of Samuel Carson; compositor on The Daily | Otatio staff and has visited this city a number of times. His parents are residents of Fort Willlam, his father being foreman of the C.P.R. shops at that point. "Smithy," as he is familiarly known, is in his graduating year of medicine, and while taking his course was promin- ent on the cinder track and base- ball diamond. His career can bet- ter be summed up by an extract from Queen's Journal, which fol- lows: Since entering Queen's with Medi- gine "24, "Smithie," as he is pop- | ularly known, has had probably a | more varied and outstanding Ath- Hetig career than any present stu | dent. in his freshman year he became prominent at the track meet, where he won the 440 yard event, and took second place in the 100 and 220 yard. races. With the Queen's Track Team at McGill he was Queen's strongest representative. This same year of the Queen's Junior Inter. collegiate he won the Harrier Meet and was Captain of the Junior Hoc- key Team which played off with Varsity for the "title, besides re- presenting his Faculty in both hoe- key and rugby. As a Sophomore he won the 100 and 220 yard events at the Track Meet, and was a valuable defepce player on the hockey team which brought the first Intermediate In- tefcollegiate hockey championship to Queen's University. 1921-22 marked a continuance of high standing in athletics. He serv- |.ed as President of the Track Club, and again took first place in the 100 and 220 yard events. "Smithie™ made his bow to jgaiversity rugby and his speed and consistent' work in the role of half-back were strong factors in bringing the Junior Mn- tercollegiate. rugby championship to Queen's. The winter season found him promoted to senior company in hockey, when he made good as a defence player with Queen's first team. : Last year witnessed another suc- cessful season with the Track Club, Smith repeating in .the 100 and 220 events at the annual meet. He again did valuable work with the senior hockey team and was a mem- ber of the champion Interfaculty rugby and baseball teams. A few of the honors Smith pos- sessas aret 12 medals for track rugby work: 6 "M's" for Inter- faculty hockey and rugby; 1 Cana- dian champion long-distance ball- throwing; 1 medal Queen's all- round track athlete, 1921. The above record is unique at Queen's University, representing a high de: gree of success in every major line of sport.

In this case the Scottish were not beaten Who is the most outstanding figure in Canadian football this year ? What figure has remained supreme in several lines, without any com- petition approaching its greatness by miles ? --Boo-Hoo, the lady bear, Queen's of Mascots. There is only one answer Stick from the student body in his graduating year. Official Baseball Guide, 1923, says: "Smith also earned the right by common con- sent to the title of best alll-round player, his batting" average being 401." She Was Impossible. A young news agent of Cores End, England, applied to the Maidenhead guardians for a wife, describing him- self as "sociable" and "not unattrac- tive." More than 2,500 replies were forthcoming to his offer not - only from England, but from the United States, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium and Constantinople. From this assortment he chose a war widow, thirty-one years old, in "quite comfortable circumstances," living at a Suffolk seaside resort. They ex- changed photographs and it was ar- ranged that the would-be groom go to Lowestoft to meet his bride-to-be. He had, until then, only seen her photograph. She had his photograph, and wrote to him that she kissed it every night. There is still hope for the balance of the 2,500 "'would-be's" for, in the news agent's own words' "When she opened the door to me, I came to the conclusion that the match was impossible." Old Paper Sold. It was announced by Mrs. I. B.

COLLINS IS LIKELY 10 MAKE A SHIFT Chicago Man 'Was Named as| Possible Successor to | When Kid Gleason resigned as manager of the Chicago White Sox, | the general impression was that Ed- | die Colling, captain and star second- | sacker, would succeed him, Under | the Gleason regime, Collins was the | first Heutenant to the Kid, and his views on all questions received the greatest. consideration. -- Collins, who suffered an injury to his knee last season that handl- capped his pay considerably late in the year, has several times express- ed--the desire to manage a major league club before passing out of the big show. The fact that in recent years such stars as Speaker, Cobb and Sisler have taken a fling at the managerial game no doubt fired Collins with the ambition to try it. The appoint- ment of Chance to lead the Sox is considered by many as a direct slap at Collins, It is a well-known fact that Col lins was much disappointed last | spring when the trade with New | York failed to go through. He was one of the White Sox wanted by New York in exchange for Ward and Meusel. Ward's great work at second this year has killed off the probability - of Collins getting a chance with the Yankees. He has always wanted to play in the big city. It is questionable if Collins would be content to play as a private un- der Chance. For that reason he may figure in a winter trade. At present a deal with Washington is being widely circulated, 'making Collins the manager of that club.

UMPIRE ROWLAND IS IN A RECEPTIVE MOOD Clarence Rowland, Chicago, who was a member of the American lea- gue staff of umpires last year, fis sajd to he in a receptive mood for a major leagi1e managerial berth. While Rowland did very well in his first year as an umpire, it is said he is far more partial to the job of manager. It took him only a year to discover that there was far more glory in leading a winner than being an efficient umpire; Hal not Ty Cobb decided to take a whirl at managing, Rowland would have probably been placed in charge of the Detroit team as Own- er Frank Navin is said to have look- ed or him with favor. Rowland, who came to the majors from the bushes had a fairly sue- cessful career as manager of the White Sox. He won a pennant and world series, an honor much cher- ished by every manager. At present the only possible va- cancy in the American league Washington and it is understood that Owner Clarke Griffith looks with favor on a playing manager. PROMISING RECRUITS.
