Team and Executive Leave Here Yesterday A Prepar ------ Leaving here at 4.37 o'clock yest- erday afternoon aboard the C.N.R. International Limited, Oshawa Gen- eral Motors Blue Devils arrived in London at 9 o'clock last might in preparation for their big game which takes place in the home of the Gas House Gang at 2.45 o'clock this afternoon, Like that two weeks ago, the game will be played this afternoon at the oval of the Western Univer- sity where the advance sale of re- served seat tickets is already rve- ted to be extended to the limit, ery indication points to a record crowd and an outstanding game, and even local interest is mounting to a high point in the result of the oncoming tussle. The result of the game this aft- ernoon is being wired direct from the University oval to The Times office and those wishing to again avall themselves of the Times' ser- vice are reminded that the phone number is 35 and all phone calls if possible, should be sent in before 6 o'clock, It is expected that the final score will be known here in Oshawa much before that time since the game is expected to be over by at least 4.30 o'clock, The game here last Sat, which started at about 2.25 o'clock was over by 4.15 and if another snappy game is played such as that seen here there is every reason to believe that the result will be received at the local office in good time, Twenty-one players along with the executive and some supporters comprised the local contingent who made the trip on the International Limited last night. This morning a seven, eight and nine o'clock, private automobiles were to be seen journeying. westward bearing blue and white colours and carrying ar- dent supporters of the team who are even unabashed by the great dis tance of 170 miles in their desire to see this afternoon's game, Fully one hundred supporters frome and for Oshawa are expected to be at the game this afternoon and it their vocal attributes equals thelr enthusiasm, Oshawa's section of the cheering should be well taken care of, To-day 1s the big day and Gener- al Motors Blue Devils either bow down to glorious and unashamed defeat or mount to a new pinnacle of fame and renoun in victory, SARNIA EXPECTS TO SPILL VARSITY Sarnia, Nov. 17,--8arnia's senlor football squad oozing confidence and in wonderful shape, left at 6 p.m, last evening for Toronto for their game with the Varsity Or- phans this aftérnoon. A speciaf train containing more than 200 rooters left this morning at # a.m, for the game, Interest in the O.R, .U. final is at fever heat here, Sarnia's great showing in the first year of senior foothall has the whole elty hehind Jack Newton's gridders and the largest following that ever went out of the city with a football team made the long wrip to Toronto by train and motor car, Every one is reported {in splendid condition. Harry Smith, left mid- dle, is a doubtful starter with an injured rib, but otherwise there are no casualties, The players are sporting quite a collection of bruises and black eyes following their two haru games with Kitchener, Toronto fans will see one of the finest con- ditioned teams that ever eame out of the West today, Two hard games in less than a week has only whetted the appetite of the grid- ders for the third and final one to- day, Players and management are calling for a win and expect to prove their superiority over Varsity in the third game, as they did with Kitchener, enerous in size / mild in flavor 100% Havana filler Vy the handy pack five Bachelors ; i I i gf HE Eaef ; ; i : THE r= a) sii : £ 5 £ 2 7] i : : ERR Be Ri Mare Bi Ladgue ay Enter The Iter tionat New York, Nov, 17, -- Further to be in the offing, according to in- formed opinion among baseball men. This movement, they say, will gain impetus because of the death of one of the most active opponents, Jack Dunn, owner and manager of the Baltimore Orioles, Both major leagues have aligned themselves indirectly with class AA clubs by purchasing the franchises of these clubs in whole or in part. The American League is deeply in- terested in the American Associa- tion, Ban Johnson saw to that, The National League was more backward about putting a finger in the minor league pie, The National was invested with a great sense of individualism in its early days and was full of the theory that each elub and league should take care of it- self and not try to become a nurse- maid to others, Recently the National League has been turning its attention toward the International League. The) Chi- cago club has purchased the Redding franchise and St, Louis has acquired the Rochester franchise, Now it is reported coincident with the death of Dunn, that American capital would like to buy the newly-estab- lished Montreal elub, That capital is presumed to represent funds from a National League club, Thus the National League may soon have its third indirect repre- sentation in the International eir- cuit, Were Jack Dunn to meet that issue, he would be vigorously op- posed to it, He would fight against having his personal dominance in the International taken from him by major league clubs that acquired minor franchises, Ox-Cam Athletes to Compete in Hamilton, 1929 Hamilton, Ont, Nov, 15, = Cana- dians will not find it necessary to wait until the holding of the pro- posed British Empire games in 1980 to see high class international com- petition on the track and field, There will be .some right in Hamilton next summer when the two greatest uni- versities in the British Empire, Ox- ford and Cambridge, send out a team for a dual meet in this city, That any such move was contem- plated was known only to one or two of the Canadian Olympic officials, It was a well kept secret and nothing leaked out until the other day when a cable came from England which contained sufficient confirmation of the arrangements to make publica- tion of the scheme possible, It seems that Bobby Robinson, manager of the 1928 Canadian Olym- pic track and fleld team, Bobby Karr, captain of the same team, J, R, Cornelius, its coach, and one or two others developed the plans while in England after the close of the games at Amsterdam, At first there was not enough assurance of sue- cess, however, to make it desirable to reveal the negotiations. The cable which Bobby Robinson has just re- ceived from England virtually con- firms all arrangements even to the fixing of the tentative date for the meet, to be held in Hamilton on Saturday, June 6, 1929, The Ham- ilton Olympic Club will assume re- sponsibility for the success of the meet but is likely to be given assist- ance by the municipality in view of the great importance, from an adver- tising point of view, of such a meet to Hamilton, It seems that England's two great universities are sending out a strong team to compete against university teams in the United States during June and that the Hamilton meet will be a prelude to the competitions across the border, They apparently regard any opposition they will get in Hamilton as just so much practice for the big clashes in the United States, but they may get a surprise as the ° 'Hamilton ub purposes to start bright and early preparing for the meet and it is just possible that the competitors will inel Percy Williams, world cham sprinter, FORD'S MANAGEMENT CRITICIZED IN BRAZIL Para, Brazil, Nov, 17,--Newspal ers here continued to attack the management of Henry Ford's rubs ber concession. One paper criti- [cized the fact that Brazilian labor- ers on the concession are apid $15 a {month compared with $180 re- ceived by American sailors on Ford's sips, is There were no people betting on the game around the Hotel last Blue Devil outfit mighty seriously. ---- With the new and improved in- terference working like a machine and everyone im good shape, the management feel that chances are bright for to-day's game. It is cooler up here to-day and we expect a dry field. This wil be to our advantage as it will give "Doc" Rowden and "Wink" Gum- mow & chance to get going on thel, tricky dashes, In two games w. haven't been blessed with a dry field against London but to-day it Joka as if our dreams will come rue, Don't worry folks, even if we are beaten the Blue. Devils won't disgrace General Motor's or Osh- awa, Americans Expect Success in 1932 Olympic Series New York, Nov, 17, -- In an auth. orized interview before he went to the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur, president of the Ameri. can Olympic Committee, expressed fid in the of the 1932 games which are to be held at Los Angeles on the occasion of the Tenth Olympiad, There have been suggestions from various less informed sources that the games at Los Angeles would not be well attended, as far as competi. tors were concerned, the popular theory being that the site is extrava- gantly remote for many nations, In advancing this theory, one overlooks the fact that the earth is round, except for a certain flatness at the poles and just before pay day, and that the farther one moves away from one place the nearer one gets to somewhere else. It was General MacArthur's sug- gestion, based upon his contact with the heads of other Olympic delega- tions at Amsterdam, that competi- tors from the Orient, the Antipodes and the Americas would greatly out- number any previous Olympic re- resentation from those regions, hile it may prove a long expensive journey for the Esthonians, the trip to Los Angeles will be just a hop, step and jump for the Japanese, As a matter of fact, the 1932 Olym- pic games in California should be the greatest on record, Interest in athletic competition is increasing each year, The only draw back to the games at Amsterdam was that eity's inadequacy to hold, harbor and house the competitors, Naturally, there will be no such difficulty at Los Angeles four years hence, The climatic difficulties com- plained of in Holland should be im- proved upon in 1082, if one can eredit the reports from California. The South Americans and Cana- dians, not to mention the Japanese, Pllipinos, Australians and Cana- dians, will be at Los Angeles in greater numbers than at Amsterdam. The Germans will not count the cost if there is athletic glory to be won at the Tenth Olympiad, The Italians are taking a new; if occasionally too fervent interest in athletics, So if some of the other nations decide against sending a team to the 1982 games, there still will be adequate representation to make them @a success. It will be interesting to see what becomes of the previous Olympic re- cords under California conditions, It will be a relief, also, to have Ame- ricans closely acquainted with what is going on. Ever since returning from Amsterdam, the invariable question I hear is: What was the matter with our boys over there? T0 PHOTOGRAPH THE AGTION OF Santa Clars, Cal, Nov. 17--Five mew. seismographs which instead of recording quakes on a chart will photograph the action of earth tremors are being built for the uge of Fathe! Ricard, Santa Clara University's "Padre of the Rains", The instruments will be installed in stéel and concrete vaults com- pletely underground, but will be connected with the out-of-doors by a concrete tunnel, To study records it will be neces- sary to develop the photographic plates. This is a longer process then now used, but, Father Ricard says, will be more accurate. Three of the instruments are be- ing built in Esthonia by Professor Masing snd two at Pasadena, Cal, by Prof, Frederick Henson. FOURTEEN LUBS ADMITTED TO 0.1.

The dancer was brought to the party, it is stated, late in the evs ening and a women's retiring room was the scene of her performance, Crowding of male guests about the door of this room first sitrasted the attention of the proprietors of the place, Orders were issued to the diners to leave the roadhouse and further investigation is said to have brouhgt to light a quantity of liquor. It is slso stated that the printed matter on the menu was not beyond criticism, TURKS CLOSE SCHOOL OPERATED BY FRENCH Constantinople, Nov, 17, -- Ad- vices from Smyrna said the Turk- ish Government was closing a ench convent school there on the suspicion that three teachers were conducting religious propa- ganda The American school at Brousss was closed last year by Rangers of Toronto, West Toronto, 8 SPORT SN Oshawa either does or doesn't to be too bad for order to get something readable every running for another couple of weeks.

The juniors are already hard at it, uff, there's one thing that the Blue Devils are praying for--actually and earnestly praying for and that's a wind. The tougher and the harder the wind, the better the Blue Devils will like it and we figure right now that if there's a wind this afternoon it will be just too bad for the Gas House Gang. What Scott Hubbell's educated boot won't do to London on a windy at Alexandra Park last Thursday afternoon when heir final practice and how Scott Hubbell propelled ind on its stern was just a treat to watch, That boy just seemed to be mildly caressing the cover and the ball floated sixty yards down the field without any effort whatever, that too with a wind behind him, Well, it's the way this Hubbell boy kicks the ball. He has the rare able to kick the ball so that it spins and goes through the air like a twelve pound shell out of an artillery piece, which with a wind oes farther than any other kind of kick that can be booted. At any time it is a powerful kick but with a wind behind it, well, it's just plain murder, And who knows, it may be a windy day up in London this afternoon, -- I: paper from George Hodder, one ip lacrosse team o. 1.78, We'll bet all his old friends who are still around this strict did, and we'll bet they were more than glad to hear from him again, He mentioned the various championships he won up around the Win. nipeg and Port Arthur district, not all of them being for lacrosse either, Which bears out our statement which was made at the time the article appeared, that all the players on this team of 1878 were genuine all-round Ollie Sebert of Whitby, a member of the 1878 team was also a great and he has numerous trophies today Another article of interest in yesterday's paper was to the effect that Harold Luke may be elected president of the Central Ontario Baseball ood man for the position, He knows baseball ) and has an excellent personal contact with all anything familiar about their Sunday We refer in particular to the Buffalo Sunday Times ese papers contained the picture of eared in our paper some time ago, icture says: "Gladiators of ladiators is a good word we'd been a member of the Port Hope Intermediate m will no longer seem "Port Hope" YOUNG ATHLETES CENTRE SCHOOL, RECEIVE PRIZES Boys and Girls Who Won at Recent Field Day Sports, Rewarded Presentation of prizes won by the pupils of Centre Street School at the field day held in October, were presented on Friday afternoon by J.

Lieut, Zanell skillfully righted the plane at the instant when it seemed they would plunge into the burning mouth from which one of many lava streams was flowing, It was believed that the intense heat of the lava had caused the plane to plunge downward as it passed over the crater, The observations of Prof, Ponte and Prof, Alessandro Malladra, director of the Mount Vesuvius Ob- servatory, indicated last night that the worst part of the eruption, which destoyed two villages and many: square miles of valley land, had passed. Prof. Malladra told the United Press that he would estimate the damage at close to $10,500,000, Still Flowing The lava, however, has not ceas- ed flowing, One of five streams, spread fan-like at the most advane- ed point of the molten river, crept steadily forward and cut off the last railroad communication be- tween Catania and Messina during the night, The danger to nearby towns was not considered serious, although the wrecking of the rail. road made it necessary to carry all freight and passengers by sea, HEN you guess about what to do for your motor in cold weather--9 times in 10 your guess. is wrong ---and your motor suffers, You have noticed the shutters now standard equipment on many leading cars, They are aufo~ matic, Their makers take no chances with cold, There is no waiting for the smell of heat ~no guessing it's cold, Awio- malic motor protection guards your motor with scientific accu- racy, The shutters open them- selves when your motor needs cool air, They close themselves when your motor needs heat, illac, Lincoln, LaSalle, Hup- mobile 8, Chrysler 75 and 80, Dodge Senior Six and Pierce- Arrow now have this protection, 37 King St. W, Special Low-Priced Pines AUTOMATIC Winterfront for Chevrolets Motor Protectio must be Automatic NEINTERFRONT -- /¢'s Automatic OSHAWA BATTERY SERVICE ROOMFIELD Phone 1184 And now, so that Chevrolet owners can enjoy the same protection afforded owners of these fine cars, a specially priced Pines Auto« matic Winterfrong J is offered you.
