Queen's and R.M.C. brought greal honor to the city last year, but, al though the Cadets won their inter- collegiate title, they did not atlempt to go further. This season they decided on a lit- tle Dominion campaign of their own und practised all season wih the Do- » minion title in view. They have won it after a season in which they have brought credit to themselves as ons of Canada's greatest intermediate teams and as a result the two leading divisions of the C.R.U. have awarded their title to Kingston teams, one reposing over at Point Frederick and the other at Queen's University grounds. The record of the R.M.C. team for " this present season is as follows: Defeated Queen's II, 29-11, Lost to' Queen's 11., 5-4. (Won the round 33-16.) Defeated Mo@ill II 26-0. Defeated McGill II. in Montreal, 12-11, Defeated St. Michael's in Toronto, 16-13. Defeated St. Weston, 8-0. Defeated Grand Trunks in Mont- real, 10-3. Defeated Grand Trunks in King- ston, 11-6. Defeated Sarnia at Toronto, 27-3. There are three divisions of the Dominion Championships, the senior, the intermediate and the junior. All three have gone this year to mem- bers of the C.LR.F.U. and it cer- tainly has been a great season for college teams. But there is another aspect to it. The teams that have won out have all been eastern teams in Kingston, 8 Michael's in King- and have all used the new style of | has been a wonderful help to both of play as adopted by the Intercollegi- ate. Our Toronto friends tell us that no advancements have been made in the game this fall. No, not up in the western part of Ontario, for up rival in Kingston yesterday.

To this four horses, rid- den by cadets, were attached, and, with a mounted guard of honor, pro- ceeded to carry.the team in state | ball team, an down Princess street and across La- | Queen's Salle Causeway to the College. The cortege was greeted by main body of cadets at the entrance to the main square and then, to the dismay and terror of the uninitiated civilian onlookers, the drivers whip- ped up the horses and went careen- ing round and round the quadrangle on the gallop, the cheered and whooped with joy. Fin- ally the chariot of victory was stop- ped at ihe main entrance and class mates of the p! from their seats and carried about, shoulder high. As a finale, before they were taken in to a spec- ial dinner, they were "tossed" by the different groups, amid cheers. Each player was thrown high in the air by the group carrying him and no sooner came down from his aerial ad- ventures than he was again sent aloft. Thus the train stiffness was worked out of the boys to prepare them. for the greaf banquet that had been specially prepared by the chef. They certainly know how to do ayers pulied them things over there at Royal Military | done | College and their play is equally well with their work. One of the most satisfying features | yester- | day's reception was the great inter-| displayed by | members of Queen's University stu- | of Saturdaws victory and est and enthusiasm dents in- the rugby conquests of Royal Military College. during the season the two great teams of these institutions have op- posed each other in practise and it them. The plucky cadets have stood | up to the seniors all year with a will | and have frequently outwitted that | team, there they refused to see the hand- | writing on the wall and clung to the jdea that anything originated in the east is rubbish. Yet Loyola College, of Montrea), Royal Military College, of Kingston, and Queen's University, of Kingston, are the Canadian cham- pions in thelr different classes. Let us pray for the conversion of the obstinate and benighted brethren to the west of us. . nee It was a right royal welcome that | which is so hard to outwit. Doubtless the experience they gain- ed was very valuable. But it is in the spirit between the two colleges that the change is so noticeable. Previous to the coming of Sir A, C. Macdonell, and for a short time after, until he became aware of the situation, R.M.C. and Queen's were continually at logger- heads. "There was no reason for it save the usual sporting competitions and a few foolish old traditions. The General had one instance of it him- the R.M.C. team received on its ar-| self shortly after his arrival as Com- + ~~ ~t EI TREN ERA ER 0080 NTR We know an Old Couple like this TE a ne ee A it house that used to ring with the shouts of happy children now echoes to the ti f the ooh 4 tiskig. 9 It is Sunday night.

WEIGHT OF GOLF BALLS MIGHT BE ALTERED There are murmurs and whispers back and forth about, reducing the present. weight of the golf ball to leave the standardized result just a trifie above the floater class. The present official weight is limit- ed to 1.62, Floater weight is around 1.48. The proposed new weight is said to be about 1.52. We suggest at least a year's care- ful consideration by the committee and a weight not lower than 1.58. No harm can he done by reducing slightly the present far-flying quali- ties of the ball when struck by ex- perts, but after all there are not many experts when compared to 99 1-2 per cent. who are not. The live- lier ball over the gutie helped to bring about the immense popularity of golf. When the human .race swings at something the big thrill come in see- ing it travel. When the average golfer, the 99 per cent., gets a ball that he can't manipulate against the wind, he is going dwt to buy one<ghst will find the old range. Having come up the thrill once, he isnt going to have too much of it taken away. . No one wants golf courses around 6,700 yards, which the modern ball often calls for. But before making | any change there should be long and | careful experimenting before any change is planned. For the next great world revolution, leaving wreck and gore in its wake, may be stagted by the enraged duffer.

CHANCE GREAT PLAYER | AND MANAGER, TOO | The renown of Frank Chance as a | manager has been so great-that some | of the fans of to-day seem to have | lost sight of his greatness as a player. He was one of the best first basemen ever in the game. John J. McGraw, in his book, "My Thirty | Years in Baseball," picks Chance | as the first-sacker of his "All-Na- | tional" team--the greatest National League player of all time--saying: "Frank Chance, in my opinion, is | easily entitled to the place as Na-| tional League first baseman. He was | manager of the Cubs in those days of our great rivalry. Those were | tough, fighting days<-- every game a scrapping event. There was no | weakening or quitting of a team on | either side, Frank Chance least of them all. He was always there with the good as a fielder, a hitter and\a base runner."
