'PAGESIX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1927 -- Form 2C Defeats Form 1A & 7-1in Interform Series! -- : Keen Rivalry Marks Playoff Game for Lower School Title of Local Collegiate -- Winners Show Superiority Although Having Only 11 Players and No Substitutes Although playing without substi- tues and with only eleven players in the game, form 2C last night won the lower school rugby champion- ship of the Collegiate by a 7 to 1 score when they defeated form 1A, the first,form champion, in a keen- Iv contested game in the Oshawa ('ollegiate inter-form rugby league. A touchdown by Wesley Hicks, a kick to the deadline and a rouge snzainst a rouge for the losers gave them their victory. The upper school sories also went into action last night with a fast but one sided game which was won by form 3B over 3A by an 11 to 0 score, Although the game was a very close one, form 2C by their all round strength except that of numbers were conceded to have the decided advant- nze even before they went on the field. Their backfield composed of Ron Luke, Gord Young and Herb Smith was especially strong and these along with Hicks in the line were mainly responsible for the shattering attack which was hurled at the 1A team and which was the king-pin_ cuse --of the freshmen's downfall, ae Armitage and Montgomery should- ered the bulk of the work for 1A on ile offensive and hoth gave good samples of their ball carrying ability, Stanton and Daniels also showed off well, The line ups were: 2C--Flying wing, Mothersill; halves, - Luke, Smith, Young (quarter); snap, Gii- ford; insides, Hicks and Anderson; middles, Swartz and Watts; outsides, Green and Gay. 1A--TFlying wings, Armitage and jtanton; halves, Trewin and Mont- gomery; quarter, Daniels; insides, [Tele and Bateman: middles, Chew- euk and Ayres; outsides, Grant and Crothers; sub, Britton, Not beginning until after the lower school game, it was almost dark before the 3B-3A tilt was drawn to a peaceful close but not in the least did this hamper the pound- ing and hammering of this the first of the middle and upper school ser- ies, 3B's victory was deserved al- though they had to battle for it all the way, and with only a few more plays ard a little better team work, they should continue this good show- ing in the remainder of their play- off games, hd Shellenkoff on the 3B half line was the best ground gainer of the game and showed up most favorably also in kicking and tackling. Work- ing with him, Cock, Southwell, Myres and Henry made a combina- tion that was altogether too much for 3A and after even the first ten minutes of play the outcome was hardly ever in doubt, Fred Bowden was the mainstay of the 3A team, attending to both the licking, the bulk of the tackling and 1 goodly part of the ground gaining, Wallace Hare handled the team well, and Burns, Cox and Smith also showed up to advantage at times. The teams were: 3B--Flying wing, Southwell and Cock; halves, Myres and Shellenkoff; quarter, Henrv: snap, Cook: insides, Little and McIntosh; middles, Bondurant and Armour; outsides, MeMurtry and R. Brown: subs., Henderson, and A.

IN TIGER-SENATOR GAME ON SATURDAY Hamilton, Nov. 4.--To use a time worn expression, all roads lead to Hamilton tomorrow, where the Sen- ators, Dominion champions for two years in succession, will make their final attempt to stop the march of the Tiger machine. A victory for the Easteners means that the Bengals will 'have to defeat Argonauts in Toronto a week from tomorrow, but this is something the Tigers are hopeful they will not have to do, They will battle as hard as they will ever fight in their carcers, Tickets were sold with rapidity in the Ambitious City yesteaay, but it now appears likely that there will be room for all those who wish to attend. Hundreds of Toronto fans will be there, one block of a hund- VESSEL LISTED "UNREPORTED" FEARED SHE HAS BEEN LOST Limerick, Freland, Nov. 3--The small steamer Loop Head, which left South Wales for here October 27, was listed today unreported. It was feared that the boat, which carries a crew of 12, had foundered in the gale which as i knew that in playing football play-| swept the coast last week. red tickets being disposed of in Toronto last night in a hurry, with the demand greatly exceeding the BAILII BR SPORT SNAPSHOTS Ea a I a a a That Oshawa will not be the only new entrant in the intermediate series of the Ontario Rugh;y Football Union next fall is evident in the announcement from Owen Sound to the effect that moguls of the popu- lar fall pastime would like to have a team from that city in the series. With a view to ascertaining the calibre of rugby played in the inter- mediate series an exhibition game is being arranged for some day this fall between a Toronto club and probably the Ontario Agricultural College team of Guelph. With Oshawa contemplating entering a team in the same series next fall, it is indeed too bad that Oshawa and Owen Sound are not more favorably situated toward one another. A team from each of these cities would, without a doubt, make the nucelus of a good and interesting group. However, all said and done, Owen Sound does not happen to be located near Oshawa, so that plan goes to the air. Owen Sound, like Oshawa, has resorted to the in- terscholastic brand in the past and the fans are beginning to realize thdt the city is series, With the hockey season just around the eorner, it looks as though the time is near at hand for the organization of a good fast industrial city hockey league. While confirmation is lacking, it is stated that the church league which operated here last winter will not be going this year, at any rate with the same officials behind it. Poor support is the reason included in the rumor. There is absolutely no reason, whatever, why a good city league, comprising senior, inter- mediate and a junior series, could not be made go in this city, The proposition should he a success 'and a financial success as well, Quite true, a nominal fee must be charged as an admission price to meet the usual expenses. Lack of interest on the part of the public last year is said to have disheartened the executive behind the matter. A city league is most essential to any city expecting to be represented in faster hockey year after year for it is the graduates of the city leagues that in after years form the nucelus for the bigger leagues. Where would professional hockey be today if it did not have the minor amateur leagues to draw its players and employees from? The city league question certainly deserves serious attention in this city. » Curling will be underway soon in a preliminary state, it is said, as the executive and members of the Oshawa Curling Club are thinking about getting together for their annual organization meeting. Just when this will be staged has not been announced, although something will be forthcoming shortly. The local club is grouped in the Tankard competition with Bellédville, Cobourg, Colbourne, and play will be staged at Belleville this year with W. J. Wray officiating as umpire. In the district eup competition, the locals will play with Belleville, Campbellford, Cobourg, Colbourne and play will take place at Belle- ville. J. A, Kerr will be the umpire. Play of these games is sche- duled for Belleville this year in view of the fact that it is that city's turn to have them. As goon as the cold weather comes and condi- tions are suitable the ice maker at the Bond street home of the curl- ers will get busy. Oshawa has one of tne best curling rinks in the province. Rughy fans who are not going out of the city for the holiday would certainly welcome an exhibition game here at Alexandra park. Efforts are being made by the local collegiate club offilials, it is said, to have a game put on with an outside club. Difficulty' in arranging these holiday fixtures is met. Many of the student players go out of the city for the week end holiday. However, those who are overly anxious to witness a game of some kind are invited to motor over .to Lindsay, where the Pirates, winners of the Oshawa Ladies' Softball League, will play an exhibition game in the Armories there against a representative team from that town. The game, which commences at 4 o'clock should prove interesting in view of the fact that the Lindsay team will be strong and the Pirates will also be at top strength. After the game the players and management of the Oshawa team will be the guests of the Lindsay club at tea in the Bryson tea rooms there. This latter action on the part of the home club is indeed a compliment to the Oshawans and shows good sportsmanship on the part of the Lindsay team, A. B. Cunningham, well known Kingston lawyer, who in his younger das as a student at Queen's University, and later at Osgoode Hall in Toronto, was one of the finest hockey players in Canada, has in his possession the first hockey stick ever used in a regular game in this country. his game, by the way, was played at Kingston where hockey originated. The stick is still in a wonderful state of preserva- tion and differs from the present stick in that its shaft is shorter, while the toe is rounded instead of flat. Naturally, Mr. Cunningham values this stick highly. Intermediate hockey fans should not forget to keep a week from tonight an open date in order that they may attend the organization meeting of the club. The players intending to try out for the team are especially asked to attend in order that they may take part in the business pertaining to the club for which they will play. Softball players, particularly those members of the winning teams of the In- dustrial Softball League are requested to keep next Wednesday even- ing open for on that evening the annual dinner will take place in the General Motors Convention Hall. It will be a big affair as it is ex- pected that no less than 135 to 150 persons will be in attendance. These are both important gatherings. The Alberta proposal to allow pros. and amateurs to mix, which is to come before the annual meeting of the A.A.U.U. of Canada at Edmonton in December, is not likely to get much support outside of that province. British Columbia has declared against it and at the annual meeting of the Quebec Union, the largest ever held by that body, it was unanimously decided that amateurs and pros. should not meet under any circumstances. Quebec's delegates to the annual convention were instructed to present a solid front against any pro- posal to wreck or weaken the Olympic standard of amateurism. On- tario, Thunder Bay and Manitoha have always taken tlie same stand, so that the possibility of there being any change in the present 'amateur rule is very remote." iosdodrdoriode getting large enough to support a team in the {aster supply.

Mr. Holland, President of the T. and D., was in the chair. Those contributing to the program were Malcolm Wood, the Maple Leaf 'Quartet, J. Neville and W. Fereday.
