Oct. 28. --Manage Cecil Hart of Canadiens added Bey other recruit to the list yesterday, this being Ernost Huaid, a lad from Thetford Mines, Huaid is 21 years old, 6 feet 6 inches in height and weighs 172 pounds, He is a forward, and after working with Canadiens probably will be farmed to Newsy Lalonde' Quebec team for soason- ng. It looks as though the' tilte long held by Aurel Joliat, as being the lightest-weight player in the Natwa- al Hockey League, would changt hands this year, and pass to the 0p- posite wing of the. same club, In gymnasium training now underway, it 'developed that while Joliat weighs but 147 pounds, his right-wing team mate, Art Gagne, weighs only 135 pounds, Morenz, in centre ice weighs about 162 giving the Canadiens the lightest forward line in the big tent, Joliat has at time weighed under 130 during the course of a stren- yous season.

Queens' and. Varsity Clash | On Saturday Kingston, Ont, Oct, 28.--Quzen's seniors leave at noon on Ifriday for Toronto, where on Saturday they ! will meet Varsity in what should be one of the real crucial games of the season, The Tricolor will be at full strength, 'except for Sutton, their regular quarter-back, who was in such bad shape this afternoon that! it seemed highly improbable he! would be able to play on Saturday. Sutton's injury of Saturday, prov- ed more serious than at first expect- ed and today, while he was in uns» form, he could scarcely walk. In his absence, Mundell will handle the team in the pivot position with Munpgvan, formerly of Toronto Argos, likely getting a chance to sub in that. position, . a Hank Brown, inside wing who was hurt on Saturday, was back on the scene today and showed no effects of his lay-off injury, while Fred Warren, who was hurt on Tuesduz |. was also going great guns, and mam tained that he was good for sixty minutes despite his sore shouiase. In the practice today Batstone dla most of the catching and kicking, and was dodging tacklers all through the work out, while Bubs' Britton showed more life than ever. After the practice, Coach Carson expressed himself as well pleased with the team, and was sur they would give Varsity the hardest battle of the year, Coach Carson stated that the team would be at full strength when they leave the city on Friday at noon, with the line up for the game being flying wing, Britton; halves, Bat- stone, Warren, Abbot; quarter, "Mun- dell; snap, Nagel; insides, Brown, Handford; middles, Howard (cap- tain), Kilgour; outsides, A Walter, Agnew; subs, Mungovan, Durham, McKelvey, Baird, Young, Carter Sutton, Stevenson, REPORTS SON MISSING John Kolynka of 238 Bloor street east, has reported to the police that his son Mike, aged 14, has been missing from his home since yester- day ,ngon.

TONIGHT and BATURDAY If You Want to Enjoy 'SPRING w--For" FEVER' SCRIP Boox CORVEKRIEKR'T 7a, SAVES You How; YAN Curly Taylor, : Not only will the leadership. of the first section be decided, but Lind- say and Cobourg both comparativey new teams at the favorite fall pas- time, will battle it out to determine which team is to occupy the cellar nosition, Despite the fact that hoth Lindsay and Cobourg have heen mis- erably outclassed by the University of Toronto Schools and the Oshawa Collegiate and, Vocational Senve! teams, they have gained vast ex- perience that will be useful to them navt year. Several more of the Oshawa stars will graduate before the 1928 campaign and this will tend to make the group much more interesting. It is hardly likely that 71.7.8, will spend another year in 'he local grouping, Critles of the group agree conclu- sively that the University of Toron- to Schools is far superior to any of the other teams, Oshawa included, and that the former shonld be in a Toronto grouning together with some of the Queen City's teams. They would make short work of several of the leagues in that city. It is lozical to expect that Univer- sity of Toronto Schools should "run away" with the local grouping.

The east enders have gathered in some Tlikely material for this year's squad and again want the same group as they had last year, which was comnosed of St. Thomas, Alvinston and Glencoe. Some of the players gathered in hy the London East term are; Patterson and Bennett, goalkeepers: Arhor, a hrother of the famous Ty and Jack Arbor, of NHL. and Pacific Coast learue fame: Hutchinson, of Wond- stock, and Wilcox, Tozer, Foxworthy, Cudmore Goddard and "The Tron Duke" McKay, Out of town stars at- tracted hy the east enders are Brown- Tee of Goderich, Sandow nf Milton, and 'Modlaney, 'star of the Guelph in- termediate team last year. The majority of the squad are jtn- inrs and many have heen recruited from the London Cafe. champions of the Playground League last vear. The officers electer are: President, R. Briggs; Vice-President, Fred Huddles- ton; Secretary-Treasurer, Cecil Hill, Looking from her drawing-room window, a lady saw, as she thought, a noor wretch of a man shivering vn- der 'a lamn-vost. In » moment of pity she sent him a ten-shilline note wran- ped in naner, on which che wrote the words, "Never say die!" The next right there came n knock at her door. The man who knocked was the one she had seen under the lamp-nost, and in handing five pounde ten shillings to the ladv he remarked, "Here's your monev, ladv. Never Say Die won at ten to one, and yon were the only one who backed it. Happy to oblige any time, remember!" INTERMEDIATE HONORS { An the A SPORT SNAPSHOTS Glancing over the list of the Bowmanville Junior Ontario Hockey Association one is immediately led to believe that the lads from the easterly town will be a formidable aggregation when they get on their blades and meet the locals. Like Oshawa, the Bowmanville boys are losing no time in getting down to training. After all the early season is the best conditioning time. Many young fellows develop the last minute habit with the result that they are usually called into play in the last minute. The attitudes taken by hoth the Oshawa and Bowmanville managements to the effect that those fellows who turn out to training regularly are the ones that will get the permanent positions. They are absolutely right in their contention, too, for why should some of the players train faith- fully' and then when the season opens get left in the rush. The manager of the local juniors is emphatic in his decision in this regard and intends to adhere strictly to his word, rx Just look at the hockey talent as announced yesterday in a despatch from Bowmanville, It states there were fifteen players out for prelim- fhary fraining. Conspictious among them were Johnny Jamies, the regular goalie of last season's team, Joe Ezbeidy, a player from Kitchemer and formerly of Owen Sound, Gordon Adams, Fred Jackman, Robert Clarke, Morgan Lunney, Orville Hooper, George Piper, Cecil Mutton, Alex Cam- eron, Stuart Candler, "Dutch" Osborne, "Flash" Rundle, "Whitey" Grant and Herb Pollard. For trainer they have no .other a person than Earl Cunningham, physical director of the Bowmanville Boys" Training chool. Part of the program is a jaunt out io the institution. The Oshawa five or six mile hike Saturday will more than make up for the roadwork missed to date. Bert Bounsall is to manage the neighbourhood boys this year. He was in charge several years ago and enjoyed seyeral successful seasons. Taking the matfer all around it looks like an interesting winter's sports The battle of "say what you may® will be staged at Alexandra park commencing at 2.30 o"clock Yo nd afternoon when the Unpijversity of Toronto Sepools and the Oshawa Collegiate Institute will battle for the championship of the local interscholastic O.R.F.U. grouping. A hint to those having the least trickle of sporting blood in their veins is sufficient for this week's game for it is the only one that local fans will have the thagice of witnessing in the regular schedule this year. It promises to be a bum-dinger. Not a player on the injured list, a team including subs. which average 165 pounds per man and carries exactly 36 plays on its curriculum, will be seen in action. Last minute advice has been adminis- 'tered to' the players by Coach Kirkland and that official states his team is working as smooth as a machine and is confident of putting up a good battle. Word from Toronto today cvarried the information that four of the U.T.S. boys are on the injured list. Two of these are Evans and Bradley, while the names of the other two could not be learned, apart from the fact they are also players of a high calibre. It is hard to reconcile a good many things in existing amateur sport conditions, apart from the legislative anachroni he t bodies look askance at the prof€ssional promoter and professional sport bodies because these openly are ouf to fitake money from sport. But so too are most, if not all, of the amateur clubs, Even some of our universities are not exactly free from siispicion on the question of football players. Tirades against intercollegiate sports, football 'and other pastimes, emanate from college presidents, faculties, and campus debating p "Education is being minimized .and football notoriety emphasized to the detriment of the rising generation," is the cog of many e s. it 'is equally true that while decrying sports, almost every ath ic pesociation and follege country are boosting themy by bir sters in the cases of some of the dterié 'clitbs and [4 es, reason is thie the Subs astocations and tolleges need the revenue from sports 10 o set What wor herwise be a dead loss in expenditures for recreation; and, jn the case of some of the colleges, they also want publicity and advertising to keep up their enrollment. All of these reasons are perfectly all right. But why quibble about it and Cost superior 160ks in 'the direction of professional, who is frankly out for the money? . ----ra-- The members of the Oshawa Rotary Club have taken to the favorite indoor game of knocking the Manles and will hold sway Monday even- ings for several weeks at the Motor City Bowling Club. In the game this week S. Storie's team won from A. 5. Whattam's team, while N. R. Weir took two from J. Burns' boys. Honors for the individial high score was carreid off by Orra Alger. W. H. Karn is acting as secretary of the league. The schedule dsawn up indicates that on Mondzy, No- , wember 7 Storie will play Weir and Whattam will meet Burns. On Nov. 14 Whattam will meet Storie and Burns and Weir will play. Then a week tater Weir will play Whattam and Burns' quartette hooks up against a four led by Storie. On November 28 the same teams as are billed tor November 7, will play. Taking the league all way round, the Ro- tarians should have an interesting series as all the games are scheduled in-between-seasons and the players forming the respective teams will have plenty of time for sports. : ~. practically all fay . he ' v ASSOCIATION DROPS HOCKEY Guelph, Ont, Oct. 28--The Guelph Athletic Association Having decided to drop its hockey activities this 'Winter an erganization to be known as the Guelph Hockey Club has been formed to foster the game locally, and the new body will enter teams in the intermed- iate and junior O.H.A. series. With of last year's players ayailable, and several promising young- any, it is felt that a couple of strong ne-ups can be mustered and it is the intention of the club officials to apply to the O.H.A, for a good fast group- ing. han stepping out of city league com- MADE HOLE IN ONE Guelph, Oct. 28--W. E. Buckingham, président of the Guelph Golf and Coun- try Club, entered the golfer's hall of fame when he drove the sixth hole on the local course in "one," He was playing in a foursome, It was not only the first time a president of the club had performed this epochal feat, but it was the first time that this 165-yard hole had been the scene of such a stroke. The feat signalized the con- clusion of Mr. Buckingham's term of office as president of the club, CHESS MATCH POSTPONED Buenos Aires, Oct, 28--The twenty second game for the world's chess championship betweéen Jose Capablanca and Alexander Alekine, scheduled for last hight, was postponed until today.

ST. THOMAS IN JR. OHA. St. Thomas, Oct, 27--St. Thomas may be represented only in the junior ser- ies of the O,H.A. this coming Winter, as the M,C.A A. is not likely to field an intermediate .six, President E.
