Father Stanton the greatest football coach in Canada. This was back in 1907 when he produced a team that won for his college, the Intercollegiate title.

For yean after, too, he produced teams which were a credit to any city. But not only to football did he confine almost every line of sport, hockey, Father Stanton's creed in all his coaching was: "You're never licked until you give up," and "Be a crab or be nfused into all his teams.

It was this spirit that he past few years Father Stanton has So far, Switzerland and Holland are the only countrks to decide against sending teams to Los Angeles.

The financial rtiffiriiltv iw ffreat and even the question of venue for the tinal trials has preplexed them.

It would be far from easy at this time to point to any wealth of Olympic material at Canada's command. But in her young manhood there unquestionably lies a richness of athletic talent which If encouraged and suitably provided for should enable her to take her proper place among the nations. The cjeclsion of the Canadian Olympic committee to invite the British. German, French, South African, New Zealand and Australian teams to compete in Canada following the Olympic games competition will be welcomed by everyone interested.

THOMPSON IS FAVORED OVER LOU BROVILLARD BOSTON, Oct. 23. Champion Jackie Thompson yesterday completed his preparations for his welterweight title bout with nigged Lou Brouillard of Worcester, at the Boston garden tonight. In such impressive fashion that he forced those who wager on such events to make him an even choice. The contender had been a favorite since the day the pair started training for their lS-round battle.

Their bout will be the first championship affair put on in Boston eince Johnny Wilson gained the middleweight crown, by outpointing Mike O'Dowd. eleven years ago and the first welterweight classic since the homebred Honey Melloriy won the title from Joe Walcott, the famous "Black Demon." Brouillard, a strong youngster who has yet to travel the 15-round distance, was made an early favor- because of his previous victory over Thompson here several months ago and the "jinx" that persecutes boxing champions in Boston. At least a half-dozen title-holders in several divisions have met ignoble fates in the Boston garden ring within the last two years. All of them, however, were appearing in non-title bouts. Boston garden officials boasted a large advance eale and confidently predicted the bout would draw almost a sellout at their price ecale.

North Hill Boys Buck Strong Wind in Closing Quarter At Hillhurst King and Gillman Score Touchdowns Tie Between Western and Crescents Likely in Middle Division Bucking a head wind in the closing quarter.

Crescent Heights intermediates managed to stave off the closing bid of St. Mary's at Hillhurst park last evening and marched through with a colorful 8 7 win. The victory sent the intermediate school rugby football section into a likely playoff between Western and Crescents, and eliminated the Saints from a contending position. St. Mary's oprnpd by taking a commanding but the Crescents battled back to even it up by half time and score what proved to be the winning point in the third qua rter.

noia Lean Saints went into the final frame with a strong wind to help them and it was a spectacular battle that the North Hill boys came through -with to maintain their slim lead. A little more use of the boot might have turned the tide in St. Mary's favor. A fumble in the backfielrt pre sented Saints with their opening touchdown when King fell on the ball and it was converted to make it 6-nil. Earl Buck kicked for two points, Morrison being run into touch in goal and Hooper tackling for the other.

Crescents were in a scoring posi tion as the quarter ended and an advance by Jack Stevenson at the start of the second had play only a vard out. Gillman dove for the try to send Crescents into the lead. Jerry Morrison booted to the dead bail line as the quarter ended and it? knotted the score at 7-i. Winning Point Buck sent up an onside kick In the third quarter that resulted in a point when King recovered for St. Alarvs Denina me goal line ana proved the last score of the game.

In the last session it was the spectacular running of Stevenson that gave Crescents possession for most of the session and prevented Saints from gaining possession long enough to kick lor poinis. Anyway St. Mary's was trying to get over a big play and refused to use the foot. First Quarter Jerry' Morrison kicked to Pilking- ton to open hostilities. Buck sent up an onside kick on the first down but it went into touch.

Crescents regained through a fumble. Buck heaved a forward but it was not completed. Crescents were thrown for a loss. Saints getting possession at the north hill 45-yard line. Jerry Morrison made yards on the second down.

Crescents held and Morrison tried for a placement goal but it was under the bar. Stewie King was up fast and when the backfield fumbled the pickup the St. Mary's end fell on the oval for a touchdown. The convert was made via the forward pass, Jerry Morrison tossing to King. The kirk from centre was carried by the wind behind the St.

Mary's goal line and Morrison was run into touch in goal for a point. The score was 6-1 for Saints. Crescents gained through a fumble but drew a 10 yard setback and when the team took too long to snap Saints were given possession. Jerry Morrison ran to the left to advance play, but Saints I03 through a fumble and Buck booted with the wind for a King was rouged by Hooper. McDermott stagecf advance and Saints again messed up a play hut recovered on Buck's onside kick.

Saints tried an onside kick but it met. -with little success against the wind. Buck tossed to Pilkingtnn and as the quarter ended Buck skirted the end for 35 yards to have play on St. Mary's 15. Second Quarter Stevenson qot away for a great gain that had play a yard from the Saints' goal line and on the second down Gillman plunged throuqh for the try.

It brought the score to 7-6 for Crescents. McDermott brought down Pear son tollowing the kick from centre. Buck booted to King, returning play- to midfieid. Xovirki's forward went too far. An end run failed Let Sharkey beat Jjempsey and a crack at Schmel ing's title is sure to follow.

REPORTS from Vancouver thai Frank Patrick, president of the Pacific Coast Horkev League, is coming here tmortly to negotiate with local interests in connection with the construction of an artificial ice rink and the linking up of Calgary and Edmonton with Vancouver.

Portland and Ta-coma in a new western professional loop is news to local promoters. So far as could be learned this morning Mr. Patrick has not yet opened negotiations with any person in Calgary. Nobody seems to know the first thing about the project but considerable interest has been stirred up by the Vancouver announcement and there may be some developments in the next day or two. George Steward, manager 'if the local arena, and "Rosie" Helmer.

who piloted the Calgary Tigers during the last season of professional hockey on the prairies have no information about the matter, io they informed the Herald this morning. Aid. ham savage, wno interested himself in a similar pro posal several months ago. stated that he had not been approached. 'I have heard nothing yet," was the reply of E.

L. Richardson, manaqer of the Calgary Exhibition Company and former president of the Western Canada Hockey League, when questioned this morning. And that appears to be the situa tion here. PROFESSIONAL hockey was always popular in Calgary and would probably be well sup ported again. It is doubtful, however, if this is the right time to reintroduce th salaried game.

On the other hand, if Mr. Patrick or some of his associates are prepared to put up the cash and probably take it on the chin in a financial way for the first season, they might get it back when conditions improve. Its a long trip from Calgary and Edmonton to the coast, and heavy traveling expenses would do more than anything else to prevent the proposed league from being a success from the outset. There would be no shortage of players. Teams have been dropped by both the National and American leagues, and plenty of other players are likely to be cut adrift before the hockey season opens.

There are now number or good hockey players in the province who are still awaiting word to report to some cluh. but it hasn come and, with an abundance of material, the word may not come. Several of these players would be available. With no one in the city professing to know anything about the Calgary proposition, it may be that Lloyd Turner, who was manager of the Seattle team and who was coach of the Calgary Tigers in the Western Canada League, is going to take over the team here. 0- AFTER giving the forward pass a fair trial eastern sport writers are praising it highly.

When the tops was first suggested it was roundly criticized in many quarters. Even after the play had been used in the east last year by the juniors and in one or two other minor groups there were many who were doubtful as to the success of the toss in Canadian rugby. lh snap judgment critics who condemned the forward pass almost before seeing it are now gazing with more appreciation at the play," according to Baz O'Meara, in the Montreal Star. Several other writers have come out strongly for the alay during the last couple of weeks and it can be taken pretty well for granted that the forward pass is here to stay. There will be changes made in the rule from time to time but it will never be discarded.

When the plav was first intro duced to the Canadian game by the! western Canada union two years ago it struck the popular fancy from the start It was a hard fight to get the east to approve of the play but it had to come and now, after it has been used successfully in the west for two seasons, the east has finally fallen into line. As was to be expected, teams are building up stronger defence against the forward pass. It will be necessary in a short time to give the play greater protection but the rule as it stands fcday is giving a fillip to the sport and is adding an enticing note to what would have been a dreary pastime under the old order. "THE two Jacks Sharkev and I Dempsey are trying to thump each other In Miami, Honda, in February. That, they are saying now, is the ticket.

If it's true it's a hot one. Jack Dempsey's comeback couldn't be a real one until he has gotten by Jack Sharkey, victim of the Old Man Mauler's cunning back in 1927. Sharkey's triumph over Primo Camera is the Boston Gob's first real stride toward another chance at the world heavyweight title. There's a great Sharkev move on just now, thanks to his exploding tne uarnera myth, but the Boston Gob hasn't yet proven his right to a second cnance at Max Schmelmg.

CCMPTON, Prop. REGINA. Oct. 23 Alberta's junior rugby ehampiona will receive a bye into the western final, according to an announcement made by Dr. E.

A. McCusker, president of the Western Canada Union, here yesterday. The playdown calls for the Mani toba champions to visit the home of the Saskatchewan title holders on Saturday, November 7. The winning team in thU game will then entertain the Alberta champions in the final on either Armistice Day, November 11, or the next Saturday, November 14, the competing clubs being left to decide the date on which they wish to play.

Beavers and Wittichens Open Season Ladies' Basketball League Schedule Starts Saturday Evening Speculation amongst dyed-in-the- wool basketball fans regarding the strength of this years edition of the Beavers basketball team will be satisfied Saturday night when Coach McLaren's proteges open the regular season against the fast stepping Wittichens crew. Rumor has it that the big store squad has strengthened considerably this year and will have several surprise packages in store for fol lowers of the hoop pastime while the management of the Beavers is not given to over-optimistic pre dictions he has been seen wearing a broad grin after recent prac tices. Perhaps such new names on the team roster as Cook, Fowler, Etheridge, Dorekin. Piette to augment several fine players from last year would make anybody happy. Anyway the Beaver club antici pates a good season this year and heartily invites basketball fandom to come and root for or against them.

It doesn't matter much which, so long as they come.

WORLD SERIES MONEY BONE OF CONTENTION By AL DEMAREE The difference between the win ning share of a world series and the losing share often means the difference of a new fur coat or a new sport model roadster to a ball player's wife.

Naturally they arc quite partisan to the particular club Jn whicn their husbands play. Often a player who is not a regu lar on a pennant winning team is only voted a third or half share in the world series spoils. The player takes this as a matter of course, but not his wife. Sometimes this works with reverse English. Larry McLean caught four games of the 1913 world series between the Giants and Athletics, yet only received one third share.

He brooded over this and finally became convinced that Chief Meyers was responsible tor it. Hailing a taxi, he drove to Mey-' ers apartment and knocked on the door. Mrs. Meyers answered the summons and chased McLean down the street. 77se Wves or f) off j.p 'iy'Ji Wll yore WrfJsSi.

MY HUPB (J? gM2 OHLY HAL Jx WO.L Yooy BOSTON'. Oct. Boston's first championship. bout since slated for the Boston Garden tonight, appeared today to resolve itself into a battle between stamina and luck and experience and clever boxing. Young Jack Thompson, of Chicago, welterweight champion of the world, had the experience and cleverness on his side of the ledger.

The challenger. Lou Brouillard, of Danielson, seemed physically the more fit. Brouillard. who has yet to take part in a 15-round fray, was the favorite before the weieh-in. His victory over Thompson here several onths affo had much to do wrn the way the odds went, but "Lady Luck." who always seems to stick by the challenger in Boston championships, played no small part in the betting.

Then again. Brouillard has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Those who claim to know believe that Thompson will find Brouillard easy to hit but hard to KnocK our and there lay the advantages each. of and Saints' kick formation was broken through. Gillman broke away for a l.i yard advance.

Saints were given the ball. Morrison skirted the end for 10 vards on the third down. Morri son sent up a pretty punt and King recovered Bucks fumble on cres cents 30. Willie Morrison advanced the sticks on the third down. Mc Dermott carried the ball eight yards, and with 15 yards to go Crescents intercepted a forward toss.

by the AlhrM Llqijpr CfnrM B-ard bv the wvrnr-nni or i-Tovinci sf Atbtrta SATURDAY AND MONDAY SPORTING GOODS SPECIALS A 1IC CJ63 VL wv. have for some been turned in the direction of that gigantic stadi- tim at yia AncrplpR whprp from July 30 to August 14, of next year, games will be held. The occasion on which the Olympiad was last held on this con tinent was away back in iwih. a stretch of 28 years, when the inter national games were conducted in conjunction with the St. Louis, exposition.

Since that time they have been conducted successfully at Athens (1906), London (1908). Stockholm (1912), Antwerp (1920), Paris (1924), and Amsterdam (1928). Th first rpvlval of the OlvmDic games was at Athens in 1S96. Possessing an international flavor such as no other athletic event can claim, there is an absorbing -universal interest attached to the Olympics. They may be said to constitute the real world's series of sports events.

They are, indeed, the high spot in the world's sport competition. Who would not be thrilled with the magnificent scene of 5,000 of the pink of the world's best young manhood standing in the centre of the field with hands raised and each facing his respective national flag while the Olympic oatn is administered to them? Aside from partisan patriotism It is a distinct step toward world amitv to have the pink of the world's young manhood of the dif ferent nations taking tne same oath. And while there is more than a mere tincture of bunk connected with the theory that the sure panacea for international tummy-aches lies in athletic contests between nations, there Is ample evidence of a distinct advance in this direction since the 1908 Olympic games in London. The events that took place at that Olympiad deserve a place beside the historic Boston tea party. At that time (as even now) Britishers were not very much in sympathy with the Americans' strenuous and intensive methods of training.

To the Old Countryman in particular they appeared hardly "sporting." The "bloodless battle of Wembley" was the outcome. British officials refused American Olympic commissioners, American coaches and trainers and anybody except actual competitors admission to the field, while the American commissioners later discovered to their horror that the American flag had been omitted from the flags of all nations on the walls of the stadium. Then the American standard-bearer failed to dip the Stars and Stripes before the royal box as a mark of respect to the King. In trying to explain away this breach of etiquette the standard-bearer said he forgot it. The American cheering section was also a great shock to the assemblage.

Nothing like it had ever been heard within the confines of the United Kingdom. Its vociferous demonstrations grated upon British sensibilities. Today all these differences are In the limbo of forgotten things, the years of international competition having made the governing bodies of sport on both sides of the water more considerate of each other and more appreciative of a mutual spirit of fairness.
