In the London struggle Owen fznncn who came to Iondon via Trenton, N.

TRURO, N. S., Nov. 7--To the 30 odd years that the Maritime ‘inter- collegiate Rugby Championship has eluded Acadia University, one more was added today when Mount Alli- son University socked the fighting axemen a 3-0 knockout blow before 1,200 frenzied students.

Costly backfield fumbles cost Acadia the game, for their scrum, generally considered the weakest part of the team, gained control of the ball about '10 percent oi the time. '

Diminutive Jack Kerr, speedy Mount A. forward, scored the only try of the game soon after the opening oi the second half. Gain- ing the ball from the scrum, Brodie kicked it over the players’ heads and fast running Mount A. forwards recovered. A series of passes from Storey to Robertson and finally to Kerr got the ball over the line. Rob. ertson missed the convert.

Captain Dougie Balaton of Saint John was the outstanding man on the field. His heavy punting to touch, his play-making and running brought Acadia within scoring posi- tion humerous times, but the axe- men Just couldn't hit the line. Many oi their backfield runs were thrown for losses by the close.- checklng Mount Allison three-quar- ter llne- ,
