The Indian youngsters have beaten everything in sight in Alberta on the way to Saturday's game against the champions of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Should Durant refuse this offer, the Grads have notified the American AA.TJ. that they are prepared to meet any other team nommated by thai," body. Statement by Coach STag In a statement submitted to the journal last night Coach Page states: ''Both Coach Eabb and Mr.

J. Binrham. assistant to the president of the American AA.TJ., have sated that the teams we have plaved during the past ten years have been merely second-rate teams, and that we are keeping toe Underwood trophy from Durant on a mere technicality. "As a matter of fact, we can neither keep the trophy nor give it away unless ordered to do so by the board of trustees. The donor of the trophy.

Mr. J. J. Seita and chairman of the board, is absolutely opposed to turning over the trophy to Durant, and it is most unfair to sucgest that own team is to blame. The responsibility really lies with the Durant team in not conforming with the regulations governing the trophy.

Points to Fine Record "It is equally unfair, and a reflection upon the many great players who have made up our teams in the past, to suggest that we have been playing nothing but As a matter of fact, we have never refused to play any team, and the American authorities know this perfectly well. On two occasions we have played clear across, th continent, from New York to San Francisco, and as far louth as Fort Worth, and whenever ever produced in the minor section of the Alberta union. It gives the backfield protection and opens up holes for the ball carrier. But invaders get through the line theyj have to be tricky to get by the ondary defence, headed by big CeeJ Holmes.

Elvira Luc-cione, of Toronto, is suing Joe Mondt. wrestling promoter, of New York, for $10,000 damages following the death of her daughter, Theresa Luccione, who died in an automobile accident near Colling-wood, on August 21, 1932.

RED GRANGE WANTS BEER BAR CHICAGO. Nov. 8. Harold E. (Red) Grange, football star, filed suit to iorce the city to issue to him a licen-e for a beer bar, alleging he stands to lose $7,000 unless he gets one.

The football team at Colgate university has a play that is handled so rapidly by seven men that it is almost impossible for the opposing playert to tell who has the ball or which way it is going, and all in a sho. second. In addition to this wonder play the Colgate team uses almost every other trick known to football, including double spinners, triple reverses, and quadruple laterals. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.

Winooka, winner of two straight races in Maryland, attemptea to match his speed with three of the metropolitan turf's most useful sprinters Tuesday but failed, finishing last, a badly beaten colt, in a four-horse field. John Simonetti's Sgt. Byrne, a two-year-old, stepped home first in the six furlongs of the international speed test, feature of the United Hunts one-day meeting at Belmont park. The time was 1:11 2-5 for the three-quarter mile within two-fifths of a second of Winooka's best time in this country. Ggt.

Byrne held a neck advantage over J. Simon Healy's Flying Heels. Mrs. James M. Austin's Good Advice was only another neck to the rear In the blanket finish but Winooka was almost out of the picture, trailing by more than four lengths.

The Australian had no ecuse, unless it was the sloppy track. Not once from the time Sammy Renick shot Sgt. Byrne away in front of the quartet was Winooka, guided by his Jockey, Edgar Britt, able to menace the leaders. Britt, riding more like a steeplechase jockey, swung his whip high and often, but the invader from the Antipodes did not have the speed necessary to catch the leading trio. 12 Bridge Stars ir 4 Battle of Systems Opens Wednesday to Continue for Week NEW YORK, Nov.

Periscope Mackintosh Editor) Barney Stanley and Potter Decide to Retire Art There will be an almost complete re-alignment of teams in the junior division of the Edmonton Hockey association this winter, it was disclosed at a meeting of the junior section, held last night at the Memorial hall. Here are some of the changes: Barney Stanley and Art Potter, for five years sponsors of the Poolers, have retired and turned their franchise over to Bert Crockett, who will run the team under the name of Capitals. Bill Ruff, long associated with the 49th battalion team as coach and manager, has had the soldiers' fran chise transferred to him and will operate the team as the Rangers. Liberal-Canadians, having become involved in financial difficulties with the league, have had their franchise forfeited and it has been taken up by the EA.C. There is a possibility that there will be a fourth team.

South Side, through Pep Moon, and another team, through Harry Welch, having made application for franchises. Whether a fourth team will be admitted will be decided at a league meeting to be held at the Memorial hall Thursday, at 7:30 sharp, when complete organization of the circuit wiii be effected. See Weaknesses Rugby Specialists British Union Wants Players Taught Whole Art of Game LONDON, Nov. 8 In an address to headmasters of schools and colleges the P.ugby Football union appeals for an alteration in the present methods of coaching young players. It points out that there is "over-specialization" by forwards who are prone to take each a particular position in the scrum and are at a loss when not so placed.

The union committee appeals to the schools which created this game and developed it. to insure that boys under their control should be taught the whole art and fundamentals of both forward and back play in any position before specialization in any department of the game. Rugby football to remain true to its original design and to public school tradition must not be denuded of its unspectacular principles which are its very essence. A similar SOS was issued last season to the clubs affiliated to the union but with little or no effect and there Is little hope of the latest broadcast being generally accepted. Big League Hockey (Canadian Press) After wek of conditioning and practice at the finer points of the game, most National hockey league teams were preparing today to break up training camps and trek away to opening games of the long schedule.

All but Bc3tjn will start the sea-ton without holdouts. Eddie Shore, spectacular Bruin defence man, still is at his Alberta farm, and the liossmen will open their title hunt against Toronto Thursday without him. The last of the other holdouts came to terms yesterday. Big Allan Shields and Cooncy Wetland signed their names to Ottawa contracts after listening to Frank Ahearn, Ottawa president, explain Just how tough times are for hockey magnates. Wciland Is understood to have accepted the same salary he received last year.

It It reported, took a cut of 1-iOO in his s'uon'i stipend, no greater than many 'her have had to ac cept. fill the gap he has left, but it's only once in a decade if that often that any league sees a player with all the crowd pleasing appeal of the Daugh farmer. Meantime, with not a great deal to do on his farm at, this time of the year. Shore had a light workout with Esks last night and is preparing to go into the woods to look for a deer or a moose to add to his store of provender.

He isas the odd porker on ice as well, to say nothing of the "trimmings," and is he afraid of the big bad wolf! Not that you'd notice. "IH be "readln about the games In your paper when I get back from my huntin' trip." sezze, as he prepared to head in the general direction of Associated with hockey in a play-lnr and manarerial capacity for a lengthy period, and for the past five years coach of the Junior Poolers, Barncv Stanley (above) announced last night that he was giving np active participation in the game. Business reasons compelled him to make the decision, he stated. The Poolers' franchise has been turned over to Bert Crockett Stanley's decision to stay out of hockey is sincerely regretted by the Edmonton District association and fans generally, as he not only instructed his players in sound playing tactics, but taught them how to play in a fine sporting spirit. we have heard of a good team in any part of the States, we have done our best to arrange a series of games with thein.

"The point has now been reached where we are to refuse to permit these unfair statements being made. Win or lose, we are prepared to meet any team in the States, and the can do the picking. Perhaps this will convince them that we are not looking for Who's Afraid? "We have never belittled the win which the Durant girls put over on us here last June. They played wonderful basketball just a little better than we did. Nevertheless, the implication that we are afraid to meet them again is ridiculous.

As a matter of fact we shall be only too glad to hava the opportunity of piayine them again, and in offering to piay the first two games of a possible five-game series on their own floor, even the most prejudiced fan will have to admit that the Grads are not lacking in courage."

Lester Patrick's champion New York Rangers, along with Ottawa and the Montreal Maroons make their seasonal debut on Saturday.
