Reynolds plung- ed for seven yards and Harry Bat- stone went around the end for one yard. Leadley kicked to Gibb who immediately returned and Queen's made a slight gain on the exchange of kicks. Leadley was given a very dirty tackle from behind and many thaught that he had been hurt but he just got up out of the pile smii- ing and patted the player on the back who pulled the "dirty stuff." Quinn, of Tigers, was hurt but came to and continued. Reynolds, playing at top speed, went at the Tiger line but was stopped by Cox who had been putting up a great exhibition, Quinn, after getting Leadley"s kick, which went over the Tiger line, ran for thirty yards before tackled by Wright. To the surprise of the crowd in the opén stands they saw Karl Quinn attempt to get even with his tackler by kicking with both feet and how he missed striking Wright in the face is a mystery, He got well roasted by the fans but was not penalized. It wag clearly evident that Tigers were going to almost commit mur- der to attain their own end. Tigers then kicked the ball up the fleld and it bounded for some distance before Harry Batstone got his hands on it but he ran it for about thirty yards, evading the Tiger tacklers, and be- fore he was stopped he had knocked two of the enemy over and it took some head salts to revive YagH] Harry Batstone got a dirty tack and Billle Hughes brought him around. Tigers then attempted two onside kicks. The first time "Ken" Walker got the ball and made aboat twenty-five yards. The second at- tempted 'resulted in the ball going into touch. Elford was banished for a few minutes for scragging. With about five minutes to go Tigers were playing a great game. Leadley kick- ed the ball over the Tiger line a couple of times but the Tiger halves by good work were able to carry it out. Walker was sent to the back position and he distinguished him- self by getting one of "Pep" Lead- ley's punts from behind the line. Johnny Evans, who had been giv- ing his best during the game, was | carried off the fleld and was replaced by Burton. Tigers attempted a back fleld play but Queen's caught the man with the ball 'before he accom- plished anything. Queen's were given a penalty but "Pep" Leadly was able! to keep the battling Tigers on the, defensive, With three minutes to go Baldwin was penalized and Chant- ler came on the field to fill the quar- ter position. Tigers tried two more onside kicks but Queen's knocked one into touch and atstome got the second. Alrth made a three-yard gain by plunging through the centre. Just as the time-keepers were walk- ing on the field to call time "'Pep" Leadley kicked to "Ken" Walker who was behind the Tiger line and he ran the ball out into safe terri- tory.

It was established beyond a doubt on Saturday afternoon at the Varsity Stadium that the Queen's senior rugby team, for thé, past two years Dominion champions, 'are still the greatest team in Canada. Before a crowd of over seventeen thousand people, which filled every-available spot in the Stadium, Queen's defeat- ed Tigers of Hamilton, champions of the "Big Four," by a score of 11 to 1. There is no question that the better team won, and it certainly was entitled to victory, as they played first class rugby and meade few mis- takes. Every player worked into that wonderful rugby machine, which has demonstrated on many occasions that it cannot be beaten. nis, Got the Jump. From the first minute of the game until the end, it was clearly shown that Queen's were winners. From the kick-off Queen's went right after the Tigers, and, as much as they tried they could not stop the aggres- ess of the Kingston students. The first break of the game came in the first minute. Leadley, the Queen's captain, outguessed the Tigers when he booted the ball to the right and "Bud" Thomas, who has no peer as an outside wing player in Canada, fell on the pig- skin on Tigers' forty-yard line, Oa the first down Roy Reynolds, who played the best game in his rugby eareer, tore through the Tiger line, which was supposed to be like the wall 5f Gibraltar, for a distance of twenty yards, and brought the play to Tigers' twefity-yard line. Queen's tried a couple of down and Leadley kicked the first fleld goal. This was all done before Tigers realized that the game was in progress and gave the Queen's players absolute ocon- fidence. Queen's repeated this per- formance again before many minutes and at quarter time the score was standing 7 to 0. Tigers added a rouge in the second period, after they had worked the ball down the field by bucking Queen's line for yards on three occasions, and every person thought that they would pos- sibly go over for a touch. Tigers evidently figured that Queen's lime was holding too strong, and attempt- ed a field goal from twenty yards out, but Gibh's kick went wide and Harry Batstone was forced to rouge. Half time score--7 to 1 for Queen's. minimise, Last Period Scoveless, Queen's added another point In the third period, whem they got pos- session of the ball on Tigers' thirty- five-yard line, due to holding on the part of their opponents, and Leadley Kicked to Gibb who was forced to rouge. Leadley got "his third field goal of the day before the period ended, when he hooted from the twenty-five yard line. Queen's 11, Tigers 1. There was no scoring in the last period, although Queen's who were able to keep their opponents on the defensive all the time, kicked the ball over the line three or four times, but due to good work on the part of the Hamilton halves it was carried out to safe territory. It was clearly evident in this period that Tigers would almost commit murder to at- tain victory. They were continually piling on Leadley and Batstone, and one of the Queen's players narrowly missey being kicked in the face after he had tackled one of the Tigers' halves, To Play Through. The win on Saturday means that Queen's will now go after the Do- minion championship, and will meet Balmy Beach in Toronto Next Satur- day. If Queen's win, and this is quite likely, as Balmy Beach is not rated as nearly as good a team as Tigers, they will then play against the Western winners the following Saturday. A victory | wseens .| against Balmy Beach practically as- sures them of the Dominion cham- as "Sub." Quarter--Only Used by Queen's. ' sisting the Tigers when they were injured in the tackles, Reynolds Starred. Roy Reynolds, who, like "Pep" Leadley, completes his course at Queen's this year, played the best game on record. In fact, many thought he was the most aggressive man on the fleld. He was matched against Timmis, the plunging line player of the Tigers, and he simply tore holes in that Tiger line, and went for great gains. The forced absence of "Red" McKelvey, due to injury which he, received in the game with Varsity, left Queen's rather handicapped in the line plung- ing game, but Reynolds rose to the occasion. Bert Airth, who replaced { McKelvey at middle wing certainly i did honor to the position. "Art" | Lewis, the snap-back, who is always 'in the habit of messing up the plays for his opponents, pulled a good one on Saturday in the fourth period, when he got possession of the ball from the Tigers on the third down. "Bud" Thomas was never seen to better advantage. He was down with every kick, and seldom missed a tackle. His running mate, Wright, a Hamilton boy, forgot his home town and did 'right' by his own team, While "Red" McKelvey did not have the honor of taking part in this game, he did have the pleasure of sitting on the side-line and seeing his brother "Gib" star in aM parts of the game, "Gib"" in company with Batstone and Leadley, pulled off a three man passing game and made wonderful gains. "Bill" Muirhead, although he did not start in the game, was soon shoved into action. He was on his toes all the time and just ate the Tigers alive. Adams and Brown threw back the strong Tiger linemen and were responsible for bucking through oR numerous oc- casions. Presley McLeod and Bur- ley, who worked alternately at flying wing, were always in the game. ! Baldwin, the quarter-back, who directed the play against his former quarter-back, "Johnny" Evans, mix- ed his plays well and "was able to outguess the enemy. Baldwin got a couple of hard tackles and was knocked cold on ome occasion, but | persisted staying in the game, and | upon examination at the close of the 'game it was found he was suffering from a cracked rib, "Cliff" Howard, who was brought up from Kingston : apecially, as it was thought he couid be worked well on the slippery fleld, was not brought into action, as the rugby machine was working well and | any change was not necessary. The | other Queen's "subs," with the ex- ception of Chantler and Hannon were not called into service, isin 's Day. One might say that it was alto- , gether a Queen's day, as In addition 'to the Queen's. players starring so significently, the men on the Tigers' "team who appeared to be at their best, were "Johnny" Evans, "Smut" ; Veale, Carl Quinn and "Lis" Walker, i former Queen's players, These four men did their utmost to defeat Queen's, and do honor to the city where they reside at the present, but | were the first to acknowledge that the better team won. '"Johany" Evans did his utmost, to mix. the plays, and probably catch his former team-mates off guard, but there was "nothing doing." When he was hurt in the last period, and had to be carried off the field, the Queen's players assisted In moving their former comrade from the fleld. Karl Quinn, who was a substitute half- back for the Queen's team last year, is certainly an improved player.

The Queen's special train, which arrived in Toronto sharp on time, carried about four hundred fans, an enthusiastic bunch of rooters, and the least of these was mot "Alfie" Pierce. "Alfie" was all decked out for the occasign, as proud as a war- rior who had goune through numer- ous battles, and cheered his team to | victory.

Bobby Hewitson, of the Toronto, Telegram, has the following to say TR ON AR A about the game: The better team won and . deserved their victory. They played steady football, made few mistakes and acted like a well' olled machine. True, they had sev' eral breaks, but even without these: they were best. It was not on the backfield that Queen's made their gaing as expected, but Leadley's kicking was great. He accounted for three field goals and kicked two other single points, Reynolds play- ed a wonderful game and his plung- ing made many gains, Queen's were a team to-day and not individuals, Every man did his duty and did it well. They outguess- ed Tigers. While the backfield muewe no gains on end runs and only one by Baystone and one by Leadley for 35 yards each In running back kicks, nevertheless that backfield was a. mighty {important factor ' though I their play did not stand gug like In other games.

A. Hewitt, Sporting Editor of the Toronto Star, says: "Tae college champions were al- ways masters of the situation, scor- i ing two field goals in the first five minutes of play and holding theirs advantage to the end. They were™ the aggressors for the greater por: tion of the game, The Tigers made their best showing in the second 7 period when they plunged for their' yards four times In succession, and put them in a position to score thefr only point, "The outstanding star of the game was "Pep" Leadley, the Queen's cap- tain. His spectfcular running and splendid kicking were the prime fac- tors in Queen's great victory. Lead- ley scored all the points made by the team, having three field goals to his ~ credit, and forcing two rouges on other kicks.
