tans BIGHT N THE UsilAWA DALY (IMES. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 45, 1928 GUELPH HERE FOR INTERMEDIATE O.RF.U. CONTEST SATURDAY Another Record at Alexandra Park on Saturday ed For Guelph -- Oshawa Collision Local Boys in Fine Shape To Do Battle And Expect to Run Up Against Strenw- ous wa Must Win to Keep in Rum ning, ee The pride of Oshawa General Motors Intermediate O.R.F.U, team, will again come before the public eye locally this coming Sat- urday when they meet Guelph in a scheduled contest at Alexandra Park at 3 o'clock in what promises to be an even better game than that seen here two weeks ago when the opening game of the season was played between Niagara Falls and Oshawa. A record crowd was on hand for the official opener of the season two weeks ago while just as great a crowd is expected to be on hand to see Oshawa's sensational team in their second local appearance of the season next Saturday at the same place. The first half of the schedule has already been passed and left behind and it finds Oshawa, in her first year in Intermediate rugby competition, tied for the top of the league by London, the cream of intermediate rugby in the western portion of Ontario. These two teams have not yet met and before this takes place Oshawa must meet Guelph, a battling, rejuvin- ated team which is still a power to be feared in the league. Oshawa must defeat Guelph to keep step with the dizzy pace they have set thus far and also to keep abreast of the hustling London ag- gregation, who consider their chances next to cer.ain of defeating Niagara Falls in London on Satur- day. 'A victory for Oshawa, and they 1 have to all the way to achieve it, will put them on even terms for the final home and home clash of the league schedule--the Oshawa London series. To put them in shape for this crucial test and al- so to make certain of a victory over Guelph, Oshawa will field their strongest team here next Sat- urday and they will be out from the very first to play thelr best rughy and to show the fans what they really are capable of, Had the rugby fans all been in Niagara Falls last week, they would have seen an excellent dem- onstration of Oshawa's possibili- ties, In this battle royal, Qshawu was forced to exiend themselves as they never had before, but in going to the limit as they did, they demonstrated their true mer- it and it is expected that they will again show this next Saturday. The local team has the ability. It has strength in every depart- ment, Every player is a seasoned veteran at his position and knows his game from A to Z. Everyone gives all he has when he goes into & game and these features com- bined, constitute the great reason for Oshawa's success which has been evident even this far in the championship chase, The 'game here Saturday should see another great crowd, The puh- lic's first taste of intermediate rughy was a sweet one and every- one present at the game two weeks ago should again he back on hand for another serving of the same variety of sporting tit-hit, The fans locally have heen well pleased with the showing the local aggregation has made and their best way of showing their approval will be in their turnout at the same Saturday, Therefore ahoy mates, clear for action! Broadbent and Forbes Signed With Americans New York, Oct. 24--Returning to New York today following a visit to Canadian hockey centres, Tommy Gorman, manager of the New York Americans of the National Hockey League. announced that he had sign- ed "Punch" Broadbent, veteran wing player, recently purchased from Ot- tawa Senators, and Vernon Forbes, stellar goalkeeper, Forbes had been a holdout for some time. Cecil "Babe" Dye, secured from Chicago, and Johnny Sheppard, pur- chased from Detroit, are still hold- outs, Billy Burch, centre; Lionel Cona- cher, Jess Spring and Reise, defence men: Joe Miller, goalkeeper; Norman Himes, Connors, Bouchard and Mc- Veigh, utility forwards, have all been signed, the team will leaye next week for New Haven, where training tions will commence. orman denied reports from Mon- tseal that his club was making at- ; to sign Roy Worters, diminu- e r of the Pittsburg Pirates. "There is absolutely no truth in the report," he declared. "We have Miller and Forbes and are not looking elsewhere for goal- keepers."

Record Crowd to See College Game at Varsity dtadium Toronto, Oct, 25.--With every ay- ailable ticket taken up, University Stadium will be packed for Satur- day's Intercollegiate fixture between Queen's and the U, of T, team. The tickets put on sale yesterday went quickly, and hundreds of requests for the pasteboards had to be turned down, Extra seating accommodation, provided by circling the field with chairs and benches against the stands, was also quickly sold out, and all in- dications point to a record crowd, The local squad went through an- other heavy drill at the stadium yes- terday afternoon. The rain during the early part of the day made the footing decidedly slippery, and the players were forced to don the shoes with the mud cleats, in order to kee their feet. Last night's practice sep cd the heavy training grind for the week. This afternoon and for a brief time tomorrow afternoon the players will engage in light signal drill, and the backfield will be given plenty of catching and kicking to do, It appears to be certain pow that Baillie and Bell will be found on the U. of T. back diyision when the teams take the field. Both players have trained with the big squad this week, and, with Hallam on the injured list, together with Squires, Coach Black- well has little choice in the matter, Darling will also be used, but the big burden will fall on Bell and Baillie, Both shoud be able to give a fine display. Against Sarnia Jast Satur- day they were the outstanding play- ers on the University "Orphans," and they combine well together. Baillie's sore foot is rapidly improving, and he should be in fit condition by Satur- day. Bell, despite his light weight, stands wp remarkably well under grucling tackles, and Queen's will nd him a difficult man to stop once he gets under way in a broken field, here is a feeling confidence in the camp of the collegians oyer the result of Saturday's game. They have al- ready met Queen's and defeated them and, while they realize that the Tri- color team will be strengthened for the coming game, they are not worry- g. FIND YOUTH GUILTY OF FATHER'S DEATH Quebec, Oct. 25.--Rodolphe Petrin, 14, was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury in the Court of King's Bench today in connection with the death of his father, Charles Petrin, of Joly, Lothiniere County, He will be sentenced later, GENERAL MOTORS INTERMEDIATE RUGBY TEAM n the Intermediate O.R.F.U. race.

His work with the pitchers, particularly with Owen Carroll and Victor Sorrell, now with Detroit; Carol Hubbell, who joined the Giants late last sea- son, and Wally Stewart, who went to the St. Louis Browns, made all four moundsmen hig winners, In addition O'Neill caught the majority of the games for the Leafs, and was Dan Howley's first lieutenant. When Howley went to St. Louis as manager of the Browns, O'Neill was offered the leadership of the Leafs, but as he had already promis- ed to go with "Dapper Dan," he turn- ed the position down, much to the regret of the officers of the Toronto Club, Toronto, Dear Jack.-- Will come to Oshawa, SATURDAY for the Intermediate O.R.

Monahan was resting today, but will be out for the final practice of the week tomorrow. His place in the line-up was taken by "Bud" Gorman, who again made the fans sit up by the smashing drives he was making through the line. Stuart, the other middle, was also missing, but classes prevented him from being in_ the work-out. : A pleasing feature of the practice was the return to the game of "Bubs" Britton and Eddie Hanford. Britton's leg is still sore; in fact whether he plays or mot it is bound to trouble him for several weeks. He took part in the signal practice, and ran half a mile without much effort, but was held out of the heavy scrimmage work. Added color will be given to the game in Toronto by the fact that "Pep" Leadley, former Queen's and Hamilton star, will be among the spectators, Leadley has forsaken football, for it is understood that when he was here to play with the Old Boys' team, he shook hands with Batstone, and both players said they would play no more. The call of the "game" is strong, but both players are apparently sincere in this con- viction that they are through. " There seems little doubt but that Une Durham will do most of the worl wing. Durham is one of the fasten men on the team, a great tackler, and a beautiful runner, Js only a step removed from Brit- ton's class, but will probably get his chance in most of the game Satur- y.

Highest Bidder Montreal, Oct. 24-7 do not re- cognize any 'g 3 agr in the National Hockey League. As an amateur I'm not for_sale to the highest bidder." ve Trottier, ormerly of the Olympic ions, the Toronto Grads ey t said today in an interview with the Mon- treal Star, "I have not definitely decided to turn professional' he said, "but if I do it will be with the team that I feel would be the one I like, or not at all. 1 am not to be dictated to by a league before I join it. 1 like hockey, but I have a business career ahead of me that for the future is more important than the game. If I find that I can combine the two I may turn professional" rottier, according to the Star, team he when pressed as to what might play with, admitted that as he was in a business way located in Montreal it would be quite logical that he would play with one of the local N.H.L. clubs. The paper adds: 'Of course, the natural deduction is that the team would be the Montreal Maroons, among whom he has many friends. The so-called "gentlemen's agree- ment" in the National Hockey Lea- 'gue gives clubs the first option on the services of amateur players in their own district who decide to turn professional. This would tend to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a call to on the Olympic wingman. Recent despatches have stated that Toronto has sold these "rights" to the Boston Bruins for cash considerations, it is said. An announcement from Trot- tier that he intended playing for the Montreal club would, it is anticipated cause the whole matter of the agree- ment to be threshed out by the lea- gue.
