¥ TRICOLOR CAPTURED SECOND CHAMPIONSHIP : Intermediates Walked Away With 8t. Mike's at Toronto --Voss and Ada Star. (Bpecial to The Whim) Toronto, Nov. 18.--Queen's Uni- . versity has two championships this year anyway. The intermediates walked away with St. Mike's here Yesterday afternoon at Varsity Sta- dium and won their game 21-2 and the round 40-10. The winners were vastly superior and played St. Mike's in every department. Splendid com- . bined work by Ada and Voss, both in * Nicking and running, with aggressive work on the line and good tackling by the wings, kept Queen's moving along on their road to victory all the time. Queen's pursued a kicking game throughout. In the first quarter the teams made frequent fumbles and both had penalties which kept the ball out of danger with the exception - of the punt tifted by Voss for one point. In the secomd querter, the play wes much similar with both teams making errors, Lebel nicked a single for St. Mike's to tie the score. Lebel and Voss 'were outstanding during the period with their catching and dashing runs. In the second half Queen's got St. Mike's on the defensive and kept them there. Vos: and Ada returmed kicks time and again for points and finally a fumble was dribbled over and Queen's secured a try to boost thelr score to 11. Voss was the man 10 make the try. A field goal and two singles by Ada sept the score to 16 and when Lebel dropped Voss' punt twenty-five yards cut Frank MoKelvey carried it over for another try. Before the game finished Lowrey forced Voss to rouge for St. Mike's second point. Joe O'Brien did not turn up and M'ke Rodden took his place as re- feree. St. Mike's. Queen's.

That's the big football question mark of the present week and the solving of it may bring about some unexpected things, There are a hundred and forty- seven different theories on the sub- ject already. Mathematical gentry have doped it out by algebraic fool- ishness and arrived at conclusions to ry as sensible as algebra in gen- "which 18 not. Bome of the o, ers have been figuring it on the 'of. averages. They might just 'have thrown in their lot with 8! g tnsmaticlans. still figure that it is Tigers' That will not hold water , Our Canadian foot- be commercialized to the SPORTING as some of the major sports in the land to the south. Nope--it can be pretty safely fig- ured that it's the team's "turn" that turns the trick. Concerning Officials, That was a grand and glorious idea Tigers had when they so mod- estly insisted that no intercollegiate referees should work on this game. What a nerve. They say intercol- legiate referees could not tell the dif- ference between C.R.U. and Intercol- legiate interference. Well, Isbister may not but the dimiputive O'Brien can take his place with the best of them. And how about the other side of the argument? There a-c some of those hard-boiled Interprovincial and O.R.F.U. arbiters who would be see- ing running interference every time Queen's moved simply because they imagine the Tricolor cannot break way from the Intercollegiate ruling. Not being broad enough to admit an improvement which has made inter- collegiate football so far superior as a spectacle to the other varieties, they would do everything possible-- unconscious of their motive perhaps --to discourage such an advance. Like the Toronto Telegram, there are many of them who view with ter- ror any further move to try some- thing new in the rugby line. What to Consider, There are many things to consider in the coming battle. Tigers have Tuck, Reid, Timmis, Boyett and Cox on the line--about as tough as any person could ask. They have Veale, Main, Walker and others on the wings. Their halves are not famous but they are all mighty handy. But their strength is on the line. Johnny Evans will direct them, Queen's are without McKelvey. Their line has not looked marvellous at any time this year--yet it has a trick of holding in the pinches. Thomas, on the end is in a class by himself and Wright knows a thing or| two, Mcleod is a hard tackler. Baldwin may rise to unexpected heights when pitted against the man whose shoes he is filling. Leadley and Batstone are the big menace of the team. Tigers' line may bust up the Queen's front line and it may not. It may even spoil the Leadley-Bat- stone attack. But it will not stop Leadley's kicking and the Tiger backs may get nervous with Thomas after them and make costly fumbles. It takes a long time to get a touch unless it is a lucky break. But Lead- ley is a menace from anywhere with- in forty yards. Tigers will have that to consider unless Karl Quinn does some handy booting as well. It will be a great battle in any event and Kingston and Hamilton can rejoice no matter which way it goes with the players so mixed. RUGBY NOTES. Queen's will miss "Red" McKel- vey in the game against Tigers. Mc- Kelvey, strong on attack and de- tense, cannot be replaced.--Toronto Globe, The general opinion regarding the Queen's-Tiger tangle is that Tigers will outplunge the champions, but that Queen's will gain more ground on the extensions.--Toronto Globe. Tigers board of strategy expect to stop Leadley and Batstone. The best way to stop these two gents would be to kidnap them before the game.-- Ottawa Journal. Oscar put a little hemstitching on this one. Queen's won't be cowed even if Tigers have Veale on their back line.--Ottawa Journal. Results are often misleading. For instance, Montreal, twice defeated by Ottawa, a team University of Toron- to defeated, whipped McGill last Monday and on Saturday the McGill team outscored the Blue and White. U. of T. had given Queen's a mighty battle here. Judging by these per- formances, the Hamilton Tigers will eliminate Queen's next Saturday.-- Toronto Globe. --- If Queen's defeat the Yellow and Black their supporters will be great- ly surprised. Tigers are a rip-roar- ing, line-smashing aggregation, who | may wear the students down to a walk. Certainly there will be excite- ment enough when Quarterback Evans sends big Brian Timmins into the Queen's wing line, and this same Evans knows where Queen's are 'weakest--Toronto Mail and Empire. -- It takes a lucky break and a lot of THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG THE NUT CRACKER By Jus Williams be Mons.
