BATSTONE UNABLE TO TAKE PART IN QUEEN'S' PRACTICE Kingston, Ohf,, Nov. 16~--Minus their star halfback, Harry Batstone Queen's seniors, champions of the Intercollegiate Unioh, resumed their heavy. practices at the Richardson Stadium yesterday afternoon in pre: paration for their big game on Sat- urday with the Tigers in the Domin- ion semi-finals. The players were again sent through heavy line work such as prevailed all last week, and while they were slow in getting star- ted, after their gruelling game of Saturday, they stepped fast despite a muddy and slippery field. Batstone was not even in uniform and while his injured knee is im- proving, it is by no means certain that he will be ready for Satur- day Even if he is he will not be as effective as he was against Varsity and in other games, All players were on the field and ne of them reported any bad ef- s from Saturday's game. Capt. ard was among the first on the , and did most of the ball carry- against the '"'ineligibles." 'he seat sale for the game has en tremendous, and there was a ntinual stream at the Athletic oard office yesterday, Several hun- red seats in the bleachers still re- ain, but these will be taken up to- 'morrow, it is expected, and in anti- cipation of a bigger crowd than in the McGill game, additional seats on 'the track have beén arranged. Continued rain all Tuesday and vesterday morning put the field in the worst condition it has been this week, but with the return of better weather it is expected that a dry field will be ready for the semi-final- ists on Saturday. HONOR OTTAWA RECRUIT Ottawa, Nov. 16--Before the oneninqg of the, Montreal and Ottawa N.H.L. game last night the teams gathered at centre ice, while Commodore Geowling of the Rideau Aquatic Club presented Len Grosvenor, Senator recruit, with a club bag. Grosvenor was a star pitcher with the Rideau baseball team last sca- son. . His Excellency Lord Willingdon officially opened the Capital's hockey Shamrocks to Practice at Arena Gardens Thursday Harold. Lulie's Squad of Jute: 'Getting nto Shape for Sea- son's Grind Practiced at Ravina Rink Last Night The Shamrocks, Oshawa's entry in the junior series of the Ontario Amateur Hockey Association, are losing no time in getting to their "lee legs" in preparation for the coming senson's gyind. Announce- 'ment was made today by Business Manager Harold Luke that the team will in future : '"'strut-its-stuff" at the. Mutual stree! Arena, in Toron- w. 'Lhe first wockout here will be on Thursday night and the team and management will leave Ratz's To- baceo Shop 5 o'clock sharn. Everybody making the trip is asked to be on hand on time so that a good start can be made and the team ready for the available hour, The management of the Sham- rocks believes that with the Sports- Association series heing played at the Mutual stree: Arena, it is only right that the boys should become acquainted with the surroundings there and it is for that reason that the. change has been made. Last night's workout at the Ravina Arena was a 'pip', there being twelve fellows out on the ice and the boys gained nat a little in the finer points of the game from the coach, After going the grind of pre- liminary work a little game was rounded out. } The majority of the players are rapidly rounding into shape and will be in first class shape when the firs: game of the important series rolls around, There are, however, a few that will have to be helped along. Some of their playing is rather crude, but after getting into the con- fidence of the coach, this will wear off so that all round a good formid- able squad will be put on the ice to oppose the best there is.

PLAY 1-1 TIE Boston, Nov. 16--The Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks opened the National Hockey. League scason here last night with.a 1 to 1 tie score, which ten minutes of overtime play failed to break. Neither team was in the pink of condition, team play was rather ragged and 15 penalties were handed out. The Hawks played the Bruins even for the first two periods, each goalie turning in 20 stops, but tired under the rugged Boston style of body play and withdrew to a purely defensive game in the last stanza and the two five- season by facing off the puck. : 0 I R Such an opportunity to secure one of the finest five tube Radio Sets on the market, at such a remarkably low price, minute overtime periods.

IN TEN ROUNDS OVER MYERS Chicago, Nev. 16--Sammy Man- dell, world's lightweight champion, won the verdict over Jimmy (Spug) Myers, rugged Pocatello, Idaho, lightweight, in a ten-round battle at the Coliseum last night. Mandell fought his third major engagement since winning the title here fourteen months ago, and he looked every inch a champion, The titleholder won every one of the ten rounds, out-swatting the Ida- ho battler, out-boxing him and out- tricking him. Mandell's dazzling speed enabled him to step around Myers while he kept shooting per- peiual left hands to face and short right crosses to the jaw. The match attracted a crowd of about 6,000 spectators, and the: gate receipts were, around $25,000 to $30,000. They boxed above the lightweight limit, with Mandell scal- ing 137% and Myers 1363 pounds. PARKDALE C. C. TO HAVE JUNIORS ONLY -- Torénto, Nov, 16--Parkdale Ca- noe Club has decided definitely to operate only a junior team in the O. H: A. this season and that will leave the senior field to Marlboros and Varsity, which should werk out to the benefit of amateur hockey in Toronto. The outside senior entries in all probability will be Peterhoro, Preston and Kitehener, and the O H. A. will likely decide on a five-team group with the first and second teams playing off for the champion- ship. STRATFORD NATIONALS WON Stratford, Ont., Nov. 16--The Strat- ford Nationals opened the Canadian Professional Hockey League season here last night with a win over the Toronto Ravinas by a score of '3 to 2. The homesters displayed better form than the visitors and deserved their win. Unfortunately, due to the mild weather, a heavy mist covered the ice surface during the entire evening and towards the end long shots featured. There was a large enthusiastic crowd on hand which augers well for the success of the league here this year. RED SHIRTS WON Windsor, Nov. 16--Frank Foyston's, Detroit Olympics assisted the Windsor Hornets inaugurate the Canadian Hockey League season last night by defeating the Red Shirts, 4 to 2. It was a 'poor exhibition of hockey not because of any shortcomings on the part of either team, but because a heavy fog hung over the ice surface throughout the game, so heavy that for the greater part of the 60 minutes of play, a player on the far side of the rink ould not be discerned. KITCHENER, NEW CANPRO TEAM BEATS HAMILTON-2 TO 1 Hamilton, Nov. 18--Kitchener, one of the new entries in the eight- team Canpro League, opened the lo- cal professional hockey season here last night by defeating Hamilton 2 to 1. The first tilt drew a crowd of about 2,000, but the game was, like the weather, not the real article Lack of team play, shooting and con- dition was yielded, but some of the poor marksmanship was no doubt attributable to the poor visibility the warm weather produced on the ice surface. At times a cloud of va- por rose from the suface which al- most obscured the players from view. However, the players were inclined to mix it, and what was lacking in team play was made up in rivalry. Former Calgary players gathered in by Kitchener stood out on the night's play. Ripley at centre and Doraty at right were the stars of the evening. Taugher and Fisher, former stars of the Peach Kings, guarding the nets for the visitors, had a lively time, as the ice condi- tions resulted in players shooting from long range and all angles.

SPORT SNAPSHO1S Sporting activities in Oshawa are getting towards a peak, for last night there were no less than three major bodies in session. The Sham- rocks, junior Ontario Hockey Association entry, held a practice at the Ravina Arena in Toronto, while at the Y.M.C.A. Cliff James was giving his entry in the junior series of the Ontario Basketball Association a light workout, Then over at the William Street Dining Hall of the General Motors about thirty interested footballers from the General Motors Foot- ball Club held a session. crow about for one evening. In all it is safe to say that the three organizations had well over a hundred sport followers in action. This is something to Many members expressed various attitufles at the General Motors Football Club meeting; last night. ironed out preity well, hall 1 This year the Motors footballers in the Provincial League did not do so well. However, last night everything was Election of officers was deferred over for a week or so at the request of the employees' association, The various reports of the officers showed that otherwise a good season was indulged in, Five sections remain in the O.R.F.U., interscholastic series, Hamilton Delta Collegiate, the champions, have won their group and eliminated St. Catharines; Sarnia Collegiate or Kitchener C.I. is the "Wossa" winner; University of Toronto Schools won theig eastern group and eliminated Peterboro; Oakwood and Malvern will decide the Toronto High School representation early next weck, and the Bay of Quinte group is still in the toils of a tie, which has necessitated a whole series of replays. Delta will probably be sent against Sarnia this week, while U.T.S. will meet either the Bay of Quinte winners or the local High School League champions. The professional hockey season opened in Toronto last night when the Maple Leafs and the Rangers met in their initial fixtures for the season. The Leafs lost before a good crowd composed of many Toronto citizens, and people from the surrounding communities. presented, there being a large delegation motor over from here, Oshawa was re- Toronto Leafs, whether they be baseballers or hockeyists, always have proven them- selves favorites with Oshawa fans. In the summer time many take in the International ball games at Leaf Stadium, and in the winter car load after car load will motor over to the two arenas to see games. We are fortunate in being so closely situatdd to a city wherein there are many classes of sport, But considering the sport calendar for the year round, a fan will go a long way before he will come across a city that is as active in sports as Oshawa. Take for instance, there has not been an off season here since early Spring. The seasons have over-iapped so that there are games of rugby, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, basketball, tennis, bowling, alley bowling, all inter-mingling with one another. golf, curling, lawn It's a nice healthy state of affairs, but consider the home man--he doesn't get much time to spend with his family. In the announcement of its thirty-cighth annual convention in Toronto next Saturday the Ontario Hockey Association makes the very significant statement that the playing rules, having been eminently satisfactory, will not undergo any changes. The O.H.A. code makes for spectacular hockey, does not entail controversies over its meaning, requires no explanatory ap- pendices, and permits the game to be played at top speed. Good enough. The O.H.A. accedes to the request of the Northern Ontario Hockey Asso- ciation for a series of two games, goals on the round to count, to decide the interassociation intermediate championship. Finals in all three series of the O.H.A. will be conducted on a "two-games-in-three" basis, and the same rule will obtain in the O.H.A.-N.O.H.A. junior Play-off. The amateur rule has been further tightened and the situation brought about by so-cal- led "industri@l" hockey has been taken in hand. The tendency toward stricter application of the amateur definition is emphasized with each suc- ceeding annual meeting of the bil league, The executive officers of the Oshawa Intermegiiite Hockey Club are meeting with representatives of the rinks tonight to discuss plans and arrangments, etc., for the coming season. It is to be hoped that arrange- ments can be made whereby all the home games can be played here. There were rumors at large a few weeks ago to the cffect: that the rink managements were not going to allow the ice to be used for hockey. They have, it is believed, since alterdd their arrangements, and the clubs will be able to play at home. oui § Show Much Superiority | Defeat Form 4B By 4 to 0 >! Winners Show Good Defen- sive Ability Together With Speed and Aggressiveness --Bearcats Earn Title on Showing Throughout the Schedule Showing an unquestioned super- jority especially in their backfield play, form 5A Bearcats last night at Alexandra Park annexed the in- ter form rugby championship of Oshawa. Collegiate Institute when they ousted the strong form 4B ag- gregation by a 15 to 0 score. With good defensive ability combined with a speedy and hard hitting aggres- sive, the Bearcats last night con- firmed their right to the school championship which they also evi. denced in their 33 to 0 victory over form 3B in a semi-finals game played last week. On accoumt of the lateness in starting, the game only went for 26 minutes, 13 minutes béing play- od each way and even at that it was so dark when the final whistle blew that it was impossible to sce more than half the length of the field. But even this brevity of playing space was sufficient to pro- duce a real game of rugby and to permit 5A to send across three iouchdowns which gave them their 15 point margin. It was not uniil the second half, however, that any scoring was per- mitted by the 4B team although in the first canto the play ranged al- most entirely in the losers' terri- tory. In the last five minutes of the first half, the Bearcats ecven had the ball up as far as the 401 ten yard line on three occasions and were unsuccessful in their. attempt to negotiate the remainder of the distance. Two onside kicks were zlso attempted in this session but were frustrated by Carver, Morison and company. After only in the last five minutes of play half, 5A netted their first store, Fletecher taking the ball around the short end for a twenty yard gallop before he plant- ed the oval behind 4B's goal posts. Hubbell followed not long after when he took a pass Fletcher to Baird to Hubbell for a 30 yard journey up the field. for one of the best gains of the day. With two and a half minutes to go, "Beer" Fletcher added the last five points of the game when he arain favored the short side of the field and un- der the protection of almost total darkness, slid through the 4B line for his second toueh of the game. Besides Fletcher and Hubbell on the 5A team, Gummow, Gilchrist, Hele and Baird contributed consid- erably to their ground gaining strength but just as valuable as the services of these were those of Daniels and Toppings who turned in outstanding tackling games. Meek and Maxwell were also much in evidence both through some good bucks and on defensive play. Carver carried the bulk of the work for the 4B men. standing out in both divisions, while Morison, Kohen and Crothers were his best aides in ground gaining with the linesmen, Corrin, Armstrong, Wil- liams and Mundy especially looking good on the defensive. For his first game in several moons, Nor- man Moffatt also turned in a good game for 4B but has yet to look to his brother, Alex, who snappea for the Bearcats, for a few pointers. The line ups were: 5A--flying wing, Toppings; halves, Gummow, Hubbell, Baird; quarter, Fletcher; snap, Alex Moffatt: - insides Gil- christ and Meek; middles, Maxwell and Hele; outsides, Daniels and Hennick; sub, C.

MONTREAL MAROONS WIN AT OTTAWA 2-1 Ottawa, Nov. 16--Montreal made a successful invasion of Ottawa last night to open the N.H.L. season and lowered the colors of the world's champions, which ran the gamut of everything in hockey. The score, 2 1, just about represented the mar- gin * of superiority shown by 'the durable Montreal team. They outclassed Ottawas, who fa- ded rapidly in the final session and their strong defensive finish repell- ed the disjointed Ottawa attacks through a hectic final five minutes which saw every Senator but Con- nell storming away at the Montreal net. Both teams were fairly evenly matched and any advantage Mont- real seemed to have was on the score of condition. They played clean, though hard-hitting hockey, showed an adaptability and resource that surprised Senators and the great crowd of 7,500 people who welcomed the game back. The new rules made a distinct hit though they are trying on of- ficials. Both teams played clean hockey, however, and the task of the officials was rendered compara- tively easy. Ottawa's scored on a pass from Boucher to Kilrea near the end of the game but Hewitson had blown his whistle for an offside as Boucher transferred the disc and considerable Senatorial jubiliation was turned to gldom when the puck was re-faced. CANADIENS EASILY DEFEAT NEW YORK BY 6 GOALS TO i New York, Nov. 16-- The New York Americans provided an elabo- rate ceremony for the opening of the hockey season last night in Mad- ison Square Garden which included everything but a little ice hockey. That was brought out of the north by the dashing Montreal Canadiens, who skated off with the first game of the season with ridiculous ease, 6 goals to 1, Two blaring bands, the mayor of the metropolis in evening dress, two spectacular dancers, and a beauti- ful blonde determining to advertise that certain brand of cigarettes iden- tified with walking instead of cough- ing, were among the bits of enter- tainment brought onto the Garden ice by the willing Americans. A crowd estimated at over 17,000 which packed the furtherest tiers of |ghe galleries, cheered all the trimmings--except that very dis- astrous one suffered by the Ameri- cans. The Canadiens played rings around the Americans and won without pressing. Their victory was a costly one, however, for Howle Morenz, so- called bullet of professional hockey and the star of the Canadien outfit, was carried off the ice in the second period with his side badly bruised and an injured kidney from crash- ing full tilt into his own goal to prevent an American score. Burch, of the Americans, had to retire with an injured knee, RANGERS DOWN LEAFS INOPENER 4 TO 2 Toronto, Nov. 16--Conny Smythe's two hockey creations, the 1926 and 1927 models, were on exhibition at the Arena Gardens last evening when the opening game of the local Na- tional League season was played and the former, the New York Rangers, showed that after a year's running on the road, over smooth and rough going, they were a better machine than the re-vamped St. Patrick's of last year. The Rangers, individu- ally and collectively, looked the bet- ter team last night and they emerg- ed on the winning end of a 4 to 2 count, bug the biggest factor in their victory was their experience and smooth working, machine-like play. When the Rangers were formed Smythe was given an unlimited bank 'roll and had the wide world from which to pick his players, this in- cluding a defunct league in Western Canada, As a result he secured a collection of stars and to make mat- ters better the two defence players had teamed up together for several years and the two wings had also played together. To weld the lot together he secured one of the best centre players in the game and then had a real team. This year he has a bunch youngsters, five of them their second year in the monied ranks, and several veterans and while they gave plenty of promise of being worked into a machine they have not yet reached anything like the desired degree of understanding with one another and also are short on € nerience of playing PETE Mc¢GEOCH INJURED London, Ont., Nov. 16--The 12th Bat- tery champions seem to be hounded by injuries this season. In their first workout Sandy Somerville's skates threw him on a goal post and his ear was badly cut, and in their second workout tonight Pete McGeoch, sub- stitute for Somerville, received a nasty gash on his left eye, which required two stitches to close.

There is very little of a contentious nature in the suggested amendments which have been sent out of the clubs.

Attention is called to the rule which goes into effest this year that ith maximum width of goalkeepers' pal} is 10 inches, lying flat, instead of 12 inches, as heretofore. This rule wad passed a year ago, to go into cffeft season of 1927-28. 5 That it be a recommendation to thé Canadian Hockey Association that be< ginning the season of 1929 the present 30-minute overtime rule be abolished and that the games be decided by thé first goal scored in the overtime, with a maximum limit of 20 minutes over« time, ten minutes play cach way. a Two Out of Three Games in Finals! It is suggested that all final games, senior, intermediate and junior, be-n series of best two out of three games, Home-and-home games shall be play: ed, and if an extra game is necessary it shall be played on neutral artificial ice at the discretion of the O.H.A., Exe¢; cutive Committee. ti The arrangement shall also apply to the junior play-offs with the N.O.H.A. champions. The intermediate play-offs between the O.H.A. and N.O.H.A. champions shall be two games, goals to count, the winner to play off best two out of three games with the O.H.A. senio? champions; all of these games to be played at Arena Gardens, Toronto. 'f Tightening Amateur Rule The following suggested clauses are to be added to the amateur rule: t "An amateur cannot sign a contract agreeing to take a professional position in athletics .or to take part in any athletic sport for money. " "An amateur cannot receive any compensation for using the goods: or apparatus of any firm, manufacture or agent, nor shall he allow his name to be used as a means of advertising: or recommending the goods of any manus facturer or firm. "Any player who for a consideration, monetary or otherwise, binds himself directly or indirectly, to play hockdy with any particular club at any future date, is automatically suspended untj] the case is dealt with in accordane with the regulations. DETROIT COUGARS WON Pittshurg, Nov. 16--The Detroit Cou gars sent the Pittsburg Pirates dowm to an overwhelming defeat, 6 to 0, in the opening game of the National Hockey League season here tonight. The score does not indicate, however, how fiercely fought the encounter was. After a scoreless first period, the Cou- gars scored one goal in the second. Five more came across in the last period when the Pirates' defence fell to pieces. Hay scored two of the vis: itors' tallies. CAPABLANCA WINS ; AFTER SEVENTY MOVES Buenos Aires, Nov. 16--Jose 'R.
