St. X. Taking No Ghancs 0f Easy Win Over S.D.U.
(By The Canadian Press)
ANTIGONISH. N. 8., Nov. 9- (OEU-St. Francis Xavier's hust- ling rugby squad worked out io- day in preparation for their Mar- itime intercollegiate final with St. Dunstan's University at Truro Saturday.
It. was the team's first practice since it. squelched Acadia Axemeu 80-4 for the Nova Scotla rugby title little more than a week ago.
Here is St. F.X.'s probable line-
up.

St. F. X. expects a hard fight. University of New Brunswick and Mount Allison were both rated strong and S. D. U. upset them both.
St. F‘. X. also recalls the little matter of a hockey title last year. They went to S.D.U. figuring on easy pickings and had the inter- collegiate hockey crown swiped from right under their nosaa.

It appears that coaches and referees are having the some trouble in Upper Canadian foot- ball circles as we have here in some of .ou.r recent rugby tusslec, regarding the flare-up of tempers and some of the boys giving away to fistic exhibitions rather than pinyin: football. However, Upper Canadian referees seem to be a little softer 1n their dealings with the offenders than referees have been here. Thero it seems to be the custom to penalize the offend- ing team by awarding the other foam a twenty-five yard gain, while hare it means banishmen: from tho game.

Third Game In S.D.U.-P.W.C.
Series Scheduled Tomorrow
The third game in the intermedi- m rugb series between Prince of Wales C liege and second Saint Dunstan! University will be played on the S.D.U. gridiron tomorrow afternoon. with the game getting underway at two o'clock.
Prince of Wales are at present leading the series by one game which they earned last Monday by defeating the Saint Dunstanis crew by a score of 5-0.
Their first game. which was play- ed on Thursday last, ended up in a scoreless tie. The two_ teams are very evenly matched, and it was only a lucky break which gave the Welshmen the, edge on the scoring at their last meeting. Despite the fact that a win or a tie will give the title to the Wels-hmcn, the two teams are so evenly matched that anything can happen, and if the Saints down the boys in red and blue. it will force the series into a fourth game.
In any event. regardless of the outcome of the game, local football fans can be assured of seeing two ivcll balanced teams in action. W151i no holds barred.

LONDON, Nov. 9—(CP)-—For 22 years Joe Davis, undisputed Peer of Shot. and Pot. has chalked ulJ snooker and billiards records that make his opponents seem mere slivers of light across his shadow.
so there'll be little surprise when the chalk starts a-scribbling again.
The other day. while playins Sidney Smith in a £1,000 ($4.000) handicap tournament, he laid low a four-day bogey by Whllwill! “l! 119 to complete his 300th snooker century. As he said himself:
“No man ever heaved a deeper sigh of relief than I did...For iour days I had been hearing no- thing else, by phone, in the street, in the club, but ‘Did you do It?’ or ‘when are you goins W mike it?’ My wife was the only person who kept. silent about the whole thing."
Some idea of the old maestrds superiority-he retired undefeated in 1947 after 20 years as world snooker champion—over other home players can bo seen from a comparison of their 100-breaks. Next on the list is Sidney Stnith with 95. then comes Walter Dori- aldson who made 82. Fourth is the present world champion. Joe's younger brother Fred, with 50 and after that the list reads: Alec Brown 40. Albert Brown 34. John Barrie 16, Sidney Lee and Jack Rea 15 each, and John Pullman
SIX.
Big billiards and snooker breaks cost Joe money. He paid out £1 on a friendly bet when he made this latest snooker century. Then at Birmingham in 1932, when he notched a 1,000 billiards break against Clark McConachy, the New Zealander. a fan offered Joe a new hat for a repeat performance in the evening session.
Joe baniered: “I'll buy you one if I get another 1.000 today." He did. so Joe and ‘the fan ceremon- iously bought each other a hat.
Joe's first century break came in 1926, but he has knocked up the last 99 hundreds in less than 2'6 years. Twenty years ago not nearly so much snooker was play- ed by top-liners, but nevertheless, Joo Davis. like some wines, seems

Wager Drops At Top ll. S. Tracks May Trim Purses
B! JOHN Cl-IANDILIR NEW YORK. Nov. Il-(Arl- Officials of the nation's race tracks, wrestling with declines in attendance and mung. this win- ler face the problem of whether or not to trim purse distribution. Pirrso outlay in the United States last year was 840.642.1555. compared with $45,486,793 in 1946. Figures for 104B are incomplete but the total is expected to mp- proximato 1947's big handout. While major racing plants in California and Worlds havl ll- nounccd a continuation of their rich stake events for their coming season, officials of most northern tracks have adopted a "wait and sec" attitude. The northern tracks can hold ofl on such announcements until Feb- ruary or March. at the same time keeping an eye on the turnstiles and mutuel windows of southern plants. But they can't ignore such fig- ures that showed up after they closed the books of their i948 meetings. Betting was of! 27 per cent at Havre dc Grace in a spring meet- ing hurt by competition from nearby New Jersey. At Garden State Park in New Jersey. it was down 21 per cent from 1047. At- tendance at Havre de Grace was on’ 24 per cent from 1947; at Garden State it was down 11 per cent. in New York, Aqueduct betting skidded 2% per cent for its fall meeting, after taking a 13 per cent drop in the spring. At Belmont, the spring betting decline was 13% per cent compared with 194T, and 14 4-6 per cent for the October meeting. New Jersey and New York track officials say nothing has been de- cided about purses next year. They say they don't usually take up the subject until sometime during the winter.
Slump Al» Chicago
In Chicago. Arlington and Wash- ington parks reported a 10 per cent slump in betting and a seven per cent drop in attendance this year.
Pimlico, also hard hit by spring competition from New Jersey, saw a 24 per cent betting drop at, lts spring meeting.
It is the first major track to announce a slice in stakes offer- ings. A total of 820.000 was cut from four stakes at the Baltimore Oval for the fall meeting which began Oct. 29. The biggest was a $10,000 reduction from the Wladen stakes. from 525.000 to $15,000. Two other stokes were transferred to Laurel. which also is operated by the Maryland Jockey Club

victory kept Victorias within a two-point range of the leaguo- leading Glace Bay Miners wihile Millionaires continued to bring up tho rear with only one win to their credit in five starts. ' Both teams played through a si-ifl, hard-bumping and two-way first period without rally or pen- alty. The clean slate insofar as penalties are concerned marked the first 20-minute stretch in eight. Cape Breton Senior Hockey Lea- gue games to dale ln which no penalty had been called. ' Showing far better shooting ac- curacy ancl conserving speed for the breaks that materialized in an all-out Sydney offensive. Vic- torias drew first blood at the 2:40 mark of a roaring second period. Bob Bangay sliced Bob Vendor's scramble pass by Sydney golfer Jack Gibson.
Millionaires ripped back for the equalizer just 34 seconds later. Paul Platz caught the lower left- hand corner on a 15-foot back- hand from the right side. Defence- man Wally Fedorlw and lanky winger Don McRae drew assists on the quick rally by the blue shirts?
Vics forged ahead at the 10:06 .ma.rk when Paul Kcrnck pulled the trigger frcm the blue line. Gibson had no chance on the well-screened shot.
Idling at the centre stripe while the Millionaires tried desperately to dent the North Sydney defen- ces. veteran Doug Runions had but daylight between himself and the Sydney goal when Howard (Swat) Mason. Vic playing coach. inter- cepted a Sydney pass and fired a perfect relay to him. r Runlons' goal came at the 15:50 mark.
Hamming the greenshiris behind the blueline throughout the third period. Millionaires were ineffect- ive against a massed Vic defence that screened 80 per cent of the shots directed at goalie Jack Rhodes.
Millionaires cut the lead'to 3-2 on an early break-through by Ron Nelson. Don McRae and Sydney coach Jack Fritz earned assists on
at 1.46.
Speedy Hal Gibson fired North Sydney's fourth goal at the 8.31 mark after breaking into the clear from his own blue line.
Sydney fans roared a thunder- ous welcome to coach Jack Fritz. classics —t.he Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont. Each has been a $l00,000-added aflalr now for three years.
The Maryland Jockey Club an- ticipated a possible reduction in the Preakness by "guaranteeing" a minimum of $50,000 for 1949 and 1950.
“But if others of the Big Three. the Derby and Belmont, continue to offer $100,000, we will undoubt- edly go along."
Frankly, he said. Pimlico would b0 just as pleased if the stake was reduced. because the Prcakness was hiked to $100,000 “lust because the other: did."
At Louisville, track officials pre- ferred not to be quoted, but per- sons close to Churchill Downs doubted if the Derby "jackpot" would be lowered next year-at least.
