BRIGHT UArli-Aw Taama Will fiat ftninnr Kpvt: Varsity Line-up Victorias Should be Stronger I T. Von. lUdU jaow fltv f. A I.LAN Cuu affairs the pers Istenl kidnapping of eastern stars by th Paclfta Coa.it league and the general purr of activity in matters pertaining to the game, have kept hockey fan In a reflective mood, but something a little morf substantial will be offered for digestion next Thursday night, when the Victoria and Varsity officially open the local season. For some time supporters of the senior Winnipeg clubs have had an opportunity of watching the teums practice and have been able to form an Idea as to the relative strength of the different organizations that will battle for the championships, hut until the league games are actually under way these deductions are of comparatively small value.

Before a sea-Bon opens it la only right that event-tub should have a vision of tho championship. This view is a great lnculcator of confidence among tho players a most deslrablo asset and aviso tends to create the spirit of friendly rivalry, which factors are foremost trlbutea la a leagues success. VARSITY will present a number of changes this season and the consensus of opinion in the scats of learning la that the collegians will bs a. bard team to beat. Tho addition of Billy Mackenzie and Jack Hughes should materially assist Varsity in Its effort to produce the choni-plonjhlp seven.

Both the Kenora boys are speedy, excellent team workers and neat stick handlers and should tnoro than fill the gap In the forward loin occasioned by the departure of Al. Adamaon. Billy Noble is utmost certain to be found on one of the wings, but who the fourth forward will bo la stil a little problematical. In respect to the defence the probability are very strong that It will be rwmodeled to a material extent. If Jack Ruttan shows the form that he did last season he will be an awful baxd man to beat out of a position.

Jack Is very light for the arduous defence duties, but what he lacks In weight he makes up In speed. Speed will be one of the outstanding features of the Varsity seven this season and for this reason prospective regulars will find It a difficult matter to crowd Ruttan out of a place. H. AT ONARCH8 are now going out of the way to make assertions that they will be perched at the top of the league when tho series close, but at the. same time the royal seven expects to figure right in tho thick of the flsht.

A great amount of "new blood" has been infused Into tho ranks of the Monarchs and under the coaching of such a masterful player as Billy Kean the team as a whole give excellent promise. The Monarchs have never been on respectable terms with llame Fortune and have missed many breaks that other clubs have enjayed, but the proper spirit Is prevalent among the officers and they are doing everything In their power to round out a formidable aggregation t.iua Vnrailv the Monarchs ale supplied with plenty of material, but whether the additions are up to tho standard will hardly be known until they bave gone through the fire of a learue mutch. The recruits have shown up surprisingly well In practice and If the zeal displayed so far is an Index of ability tho Monarchs are liable to provo very troublesome, customers. J4CK ALDOUS. It has finally been decided, will remain In Calgary, During the past few weeks there have been many rumors concerning his transfer to Winnipeg, hut this has not materialized and his residence in the Alberta city for tho balance of the winter Is now beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Aldous has always been a Victorian, and It was taken for granted that he would uguln line up with his old team mates If he returned to the city. A year ago the loss of Aldous would have been a serious matter, but at present tho Vies are wuil stocked with forwards. Borne of the youngor aspirants for regular position have been pushing the veterans, but it Is surmised that tho champions will be almost Identically the sume team as last season. Without Aldous the still have Ave forwards of class In Bawlf, Wlckson, Dion, Belcher and Csldwell. At present It looks like Bawlf and Wlckson on the wings, llon at rovor and Belcher and Caldwell fighting It out for the centre position.

With Baker, Fowler and Moffat available the defence Is determined. Wth the advantage of having pluy-ed a season together the Vies should be much more formidable than a year of' Is I PEEKING THROUGH TUU MHTUni CC AT SPORT FATHER STANTON ADVOCATES AN ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL FIXTURE WITH AMERICANS "Sqw Is the time lo establish a uniform eorls of rules and arrange an annuel International fixture w-lth some the American college teams," stated Rev. feather Btanton, after the big Do-mtnlun final at Toronto lHSt Saturday. The totawa College coach has always rontended there are too muny players In the field In the Canadian game. He could never see the exact use of tho two side scrlmmugers.

Flther twelve or eleven men with the elimination of one of the four buck field men Is his Ideal for numerical strength of a football team. "I believe the bull should be snapped back same as the American game. It Is ths proper way to put It In play, ns well as being surer and faster, dhould there be a change, however, to a uniform cods It would enable Canadian CELEBRITIES Wi1r Mnnv fJhiinrna in icai ago. When they engaged in their first championship battle of the 1910-11 season the Vies were weak in combination und it required a considerable portion of the fug end of tho win ter for the players to accustom eueh other to their diversified styles of play. By the time they met Kenoru, however, they hud acquired polish and gave many Instances of the value team play.

With consistent prac tice, which has been the slogan ever since tho li appeared, the Vies should round into an even smoother working organization. They have speed on both the forward line und on tho defence und with every man playing for goals und not individual glory their chances of pocketing the champion ship for the second lime in succession far from flimsy. The Vic forwards have also been well taught the principle of not leaving everything to the defence, which serves a double purpose for relief of this nature enables the men directly in front of the net to become more closely Identilied with the attucklng end of the game.

8. Of all the rules submitted by the Swedish Olympic committee to the United States committee in order that the athletes who will represent this country In the games in Sweden next summer may go ahead fully conversant with what they are to expect, the one which is causing the most discussion among the elite of the runners Is that governing the starting of the races. The rule states that all the races will be. started by the report of a pistol, and that no runner shall touch the ground in front of the scratch llui with any part of his body. There is no stipulation made regarding false starts.

It is certain that the local committee will question this rule. At the Olympic games In London there was some discussion about Just" such a ruling. Tho authorities In this country are anxious to avoid any repetition of this kind. In other respects the rules governing the running races are Identical with those In vogue in the United States.

MAYBE HE'S ANHYPN0TIST Slim Sallee Tries to Stars Batters Into Submission. Among the little Idiosyncrasies of different diamond heroes one shown by Slim Salee, the Cardinal's altltud-Inous left hander, has caused some amusement. Close observers have noticed that arter Sal has pitched the bull und Is backing to his position he steps slowly back and with his eye fixed piercingly on tho hatter as if Sal were trying to give the batter the hypnotic eye. "do wan; get back there and pitch," said well known heavy hitter to Sal the other day as the lengthy twlrler was slowly hacking to the mound with his orb fixed on the batter and trying to catch the hitter's eye.

"You've got him now Sal!" exclaimed one of the Cardinal players. It Is believed, however, thnt whatever asset Sal possesses as a pitcher Is curves und peed.
