FINE KlCKlNl

It is doubtful if ‘a finer exhibi- tion of punting has ever bum given here-even in senior com- pany—than that displayed by youthful Art Perry and Leith Jay who handled the kicking assign- ments of the West Kentersyto per- fection. Perry especially showed power with his toe. frequently rc- lieving pressure and accounting for long gains with high looping spir- als lo touch. Both were a tower"

Jay exhibiting flashy field run- ning accounting for two of iris team's three tries.

W. K. S. IN LEAD

At the conclusion of the open- ing half the blue and yellow jer- seyed crew led 8-0. Jay clinroxed an early offensive when he ran thirty yards for the initial try. Perry missed the convert. Play zig-zaggecl up and down the field as both teams turned on pressure, but the West Kenters, capitalizing on the jittery start of the cham- pions, again scored when Bell gathered in the ball and carried it some thirty-five yards for the second try. Perry made no .mis- take in collecting the two extra points.

PLAY BECOMES RUGGED

- A rejuvenated band of purple and white clad warriors took the field the second half and for the most part carried the play. Timely booting by the W.K.S. backfield relieved pressure on numerous oc- casions. 0n one of their sorties the Q.S.S. backfield was caught napping when Leith Jay garnered a loose ball and sprinted down the field; eluding would-be tacklers, he raced 60 yards to place the ball directly behind the uprights for the third score of the game. Perry failed to make the convert. Un- daunted the Q.S.S. boys pressed forward and broke into the scor- ing column when Albert Wilson plunged over following a scrim- mage near the W.K.S. line. Nor- rie accounted for the extra points when he converted. The more rugged type of play took its toll in this half when Doucctte was forced from the field with a head injury and was replaced by Mac- Ewen.

The lineups follow: .

west Kent-Fullbac k, Ward; three-quarters, Bell, Vickerson, Partridge, Perry; halves, G. Mac- Leod, Jay, Earl MacLeod; forwards MacKinnon, Andrew, Kennedy Far- quharson, Downc, Lacusta, Jewell. Subs. Seaman, Haynes.

Pete Langelle Signs With Maple Leafs

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PRESTON, Ont, Oct. ill-Pete (Snake-hips) Langeile. star centre of Winnipeg Monarchs. Canada's champion junior team of 1937. cast his hockey future today with Conny Smythe and Toronto Maple leafs. Smythe signed the‘ 20-year- old Winnlpegger to a professional contract.

Smythe, entrusted by the young- sters showing in the Nattona. League team's training camp her. called Langelie "one of the great- est prospects" he ever signed. He was the first of a half-dozen ama- teurs in camp to receive a bid from the Leaf manager.

‘It wasn't likely, though, that Pete would make his debut around the big-league circuit this season. Smythe said he probably would send him for seasoning to leafs’ International American League farm at Syracuse.

“But," added Smythe, "he cer- tainly shouldn't need more than one season in the minors. He's one of the greatest prospects I've

of strength to the backfield with.

seen in years."

Antigonish Collegi a n s Win Title

ANTIGONYIQH. N. S., Oct. 2'! — (CPI-St. Francis Xavier Uni- versity rugby fifteen routed St. Mary's College of Halifax with a barrage of six tries to win a sud- den-death game for the Nova Scotiu Intercollegiate Rugby Championship, 26-3, here today.

The winners who kept their line intact and were scored upon only when Captain Doug Spruln placed a penalty kick between the up- rights, were established tonight strong favorites to capture the Marl we crown. The Antigonish college will meet the winner of the New Brunswick playoff between Mount Allison and University of’ New Brunswick. .

Ray Mury, Xavier's fleet-footed wlngmarr from Sydney, N. 5., scored a try and converted four others for a total of 11 points for his team. Paul Eldridge. playing behind the scrum for St. F‘. X. crossed St. Mary's line for three tries. Other points scored by the Antlgonish team came from tries

Changes , In

MONTREAL, Oct. 2'l—1ast year's model is good enough for the Montreal Canadiens. it was good enough last whiter to roll into the Natnnal Hockey League's Canad- ian leadership, and the club isn't going to do much tinkering with a machine of that horsepower.

Some of the parts may be get- ting old, and maybe there's a creek here and there in an aging

more to the weight or years. But there's youth mixed in to bainnce that, and Driver Cecil Hart vows the combination should be good at least for a playoff berth when they finally hit the stretch.

Few New Cogs

Whatever Canadians do will be done by the standbys of last year, most. likely, for there'l1 be few new cogs in the Habltant engine when Hart shoots it out early next month for the season's own"!!- Not an amateur has made the grade as a regular, and those min- or leaguers coming up are the ones he shoved 1n from tin: to time last year to fill 1n gaps in the ranks.

Every regular of last year has been signed up except for Howie Morenz, the old centre wizard who died at the height of his comeback, and defenseman Bill Miller. Who retired voluntarily. A brace of holdouta held things up for a while, but they were finally brought into camp.

Babe Siebert. the russed maln- stay of the defense last year. W115 the last to come in. He finally sign- ed up yesterday after sticking out for weeks for a raise. Tiny Aurel Joliet, the wur-rr-tne-wiso left wnger, capitulated three days be- fore.

Lineup Of

i well together all year, and team-‘ ing GoupLle and Bill McKenzie for keeps, he's going to have a more flexible set-up. The 200 pound red- head and McKenzie will be switch- ed back and forth in combinations with the Babe and Buswell. thus giving the backllne four pairs.

"I think in the long run that sys- tern will work out best," Hart said today.‘

Up front, the Canuck master- mind has been working young Paul Haynes, Toe Blake and Johnny Gagnon. the veteran “black cat" on his No. 1 line. Up to now, Joi- iafs been on the ice only a few minutes, but when he gets in trim —if he can still hold the pace after 14 years under the big top--he'll slip into Blake's place to the left of Haynes. ,

Old Pit LePlne. his hair silver- lng but still swinging an educated stick, pivots Joffre (Dizzy) Desil- ets and George Mantha. whose flashing skates seem to carry all their former speed. On another line are Armand Mpndou. Polly Drouin and Rod Inrrain, all three of whom spent considerable time lust winter commuting between the N. H. L. and the Int-Am.

George Brown, whose amputat- ed toe kept him on the sidelines most of 1936-37, is fighting for a berth too.

Ail In Fine Shape

All are in fine shape, Hart says: “amazingiy" good for this time of the year.

The goaling situation is no prob- lem. Will’ Cude. the wily Welshman, will be between the pipes again. And Just for reserve therell be young Paul Gauthier from Mznne- apolls. who will be farmed out, on call, this year.

That set-up leaves Hart confident nothing much in the way of trouble can hit Canadiens this year, though he's not doing much predicting. "A play-off berth, I hope," he says. "Maybe not first, but the teams that beat us will have to play 1106- key to do it."

the 100-to-8 solar Bear placed third.

H. W. l. Shepherd of Montreal, an engineer, was working on a project far down the St. Law- rence River at Comeau Bay when he was told Punch had made him richer by $140,050. shepherd drew Punch in the Irish Free State Hospitals Sweepstakes.

John E. Sparrow of North Van- couver had left home for work when the flash came through that Solar Bear finished third. His wife told him later of his luck. Spar- row's ticket on 80181” BBB-l‘ W05

worth $49,550. Twenty-four other Canadians had tickets on starters in the

Ncwmraket race. The result dash- ed their hopes of big winnings but each collected $1.020 and some. by clling shares before the race to yndlcates, reaped a bigger re- ward.

The big winners. Shepherd and spun-ow. played lone hands to the finish. Both refused offers of shares, shepherd turning down 320.000 for a 50 per cent interest in his ticket.

Disinterested in the race itself were 48 persons who drew non- starters paying $1.020, 0i who col- lected 8500 consolation prizes and a happy syndicate in Calgary that won a residual prize worth $41.- 376. L. C. (Spud) Murphy headed the syndicate 0f 2i.
