YOU GET THE BEST VALUE IN Young Mens SUITS Japanese Varsity Champions Bow to Canadians At Tokyo Canadian Press Cable TOKYO. Japan, Feb. 4. -The Canadian English rugby team defeated the powerful Moiji University intercollegiate champions of Japan, here today, 21 to 8. The half time score was eight to nothing.

Twenty thousand saw the game. Once more the Canadian forward line led the way and scored three of Canada's five trys, while the educated toe of George Niblo, Vancouver three-quarter, converted three of them for sik points. Outside of Niblo, Victoria players monopolized the scoring honors. DRAWS I'l KST BLOOD Campbell Forbes, Victoria Canadian Scottish serum break-away, who started the tourists on their second period rally on Sunday against All-Japan, again drew first blood today, breaking away for a brilliant try near the goal posts. Niblo converted.

George Warnock, Victoria' "Fifth Regiment, crossed the Meiji line next. The try was not converted. The Meiji laus, facing an eight point handicap, pulled themselves together at the start of the second half and crossed the Canadian lines for a try. The tall Warnock, however, wiped off this gain with his second try on the game, and Niblo again converted. The teams battled on even terms and Meiji carried the ball down to finally get another try across which was this time converted.

This was the end of their successes as the Canadians took the game in hand in earnest. Frank Shillings, Victoria Fifth Regiment three-quarter, added another try, which Niblo converted. Skillings again took the bail after a fine passing movement by tho backfield and went over to complete the score. Niblo, by hir able kicking, went further ahead in scoring honors, adding six points to his previous total of twenty three for an aggregate of twenty nine. The great reputation of the Meiji team, and the record of the Canadians drew another capacity crowd of twenty thousand today, about the same number that saw the game with All-Japan at Osaka on Sunday.

The Meiji are intercollegiate champions of Japan and holders of the Canada Cup, and swept through all opposition on their way to the championship. They scored a total of two hundred and eight points against five universities, to only thirty scored against them. p- 5 I 5 $19-75 Come und see these young mens suits.

AND UP Irving Jaffee won the opening heat of the 5,000 metres handily, with Harry Smythe, of Moncton, N.B., in fourth place, trailing Ivar Ballangrud of Norway, the defending champion. HAS TOUGH LUCK Alex Hurd, second Canadian entry in the heat, was eliminated through hard luck. Ishiwara, of Japan, spilled on the turn and took Hurd down with him. The Canadian qualified in the other heat.

Bill Logan linished third, almost neck-and-neck with Frank Stack. In the final once again misfortune dogged the footsteps of the Dominion skaters. Evensen faltered on the back-stretch curve on the final lap and swung in, forcing Smythe over the boundary line. Smythe's sudden turn to avoid the Norwegian was fatal to Frank Stack's hopes. The Winnipeg boy was thrown completely off his stride and could not get past till it was too late and the rest of the field were in the last stretch.

Stack finished seventh and Smythe eighth. Stack complained to the officials and asked that the race be held over aguin, but the committee ruled his protest out and declared Jaffee champion. Northern Ontario curlers did not have a complete rink on hand for the demonstration events this afternoon, so W. G. Allen, Winnipeg Free Press sports editor, and Peter Lyall of Montreal filled in the gap.

That rink was beaten 20 to 8 by a New York rink in a fourteen-end! match this afternoon. Quebec province curlers edged out a Connecticut four by a score of 14 to 12 on the second sheet of ice. On the other two surfaces, Manitoba beat Massachusetts 19-10 and the rink from Kitchener defeated Michigan 21-7. In the afternoon hockey game against Poland, Germany seemed considerably stronger, but snow and wind battered the players so that, there was little chance for team play.

Feb. 5 Gar Wood claimed a new world's speed boat recoid today with a two-way average speed of 111.712 miles an hour on the Indian Creek course here with his Miss America IX. He was clocked at 112.434 miles an hour on a southward run over the nautical mile, and 110.989 miles an hour on a northward run. The average of the two runs as required by United Yachtman's Association rules, gave him the average of 111.712 as compared with the old record of 110.223 held by Kaye Don, noted British sportsman. Elapsed time for the southward run was 36.87 seconds, and for the northward run 37.35 seconds.

The average speed was figured in statute miles an hour. The run was made over a measured nautical mile course. Wood's speed was 1.489 miles an hour faster than that of Don when he set the worlds record on Lake Garda, Italy, last July. International Yachtsmans Association rules required that he exceed Don's mark by half a mile an hour to establish a new record. It was Wood's second assault on Don record this year.

On Janu ary 27 he averaged 110.785 miles an hour, and believed he had set a new world's record, but Interna tional officials ruled he had failed by a fraction of a second to exceed Don's mark by tile required half mile an hour when the speed was reduced to nautical miles. The speed was checked with electrical liming devices. Opp. C.N.R. Depot out its own dog race and the juniors are training hard for the annual junior championship and the Hendy1 Trophy.

The race which takes place February 28 is open to boys under sixteen years of age driving not more than four dogs and will be run from Flin Flon to the Mandy Mine, a distance of approximately nine miles. There will be prizes for first, second and third. The Flin Flon Community Club who are the trustees of the shield, have arranged to look after all entries from the outside and visiting mushers will be well looked after and entertained at the expense of the club. Warren Plummer, last year's winner will not be present to defend his championship as he has gone outside to school. Outside teams can arrive at Flin Flon on February 27, take part in the race and leave on February 29, but they are advised if possible to be at the mine in advance of the date so that they can run over the course.

21st Street and 1st Ave. i FLIN FLON, Feb. 4 The well known depression may have effected most places but it certainly has not dampened the sporting spirit at Flin Flon as is evidenced from the way the northern mining town has entered the hockey lists in the north. With a three team league going great guns at home, the miners decided to try their luck outside and sent an aggregation down to The Pas last week with the result that they won the first game 3-2 and romped home on the long end of a 71 score in the second game. The Pas decided on account of the depression to cancel their famous Dog Derby this year and that left Shorty Russick.

the Flin Flon champion niusher, out of the limelight but not for long. The Miners got together and backed by O. V. Whitney, raised funds to send their little musher all the way to Lake Placid N.Y. to compete against the world's best and there are those in Flin Flon with money to say that "Shorty" will be in the money.

While the wires will be kept hot between Lake Placid and Flin Flon (BY WALLACE H. WARD, Canadian Press Staff Writer) LAKE PLACID, N.Y., Feb. 4. Despite disheartening mishaps to Canadian speed skaters, and a near catastrophe in the opening hockev game, Olympic winter sports stars from the Dominion gave an imposing display here today in the opening events on the Olympic championships program. The Winnipegs, Canadas hockey team, shook off the dangerous threat of the United States team and came from under a one-goal deficit to tic the score and win the game with a lone goal in overtime.

MAKE FINE SHOWING Canadian speed skaters made a fine showing despite accidents. Alex Hurd of Hamilton, placed third in the 500-metres final with Frank Stack of Winnipeg fourth and Bill Logan of Saint John, N.B., fifth. Logan captured third position in the final of 5,000 metres, but Stack and Harry Smythe of Moncton, N.B., got tangled on the turn into the stretch and finished seventh and eighth. Curling in the demonstration events, four Canadian rinks won three out of four matches at the arena this afternoon. Germany joined Canada in the undefeated class in hockey when the Teutons defeated Poland ths afternoon 21.

Both teams scored in the second period, and Germany went ahead in the third. It was a tight squeeze for the Winnipegs this morning, but thev managed to take a 2 to 1 decision after a strong counter-attack with the game nearly over. The Canadians started the game at a disadvantage. Bill Cockburn had to tend goal with a briqht sur glaring into his eyes. Nervous as an amateur theatrical troupe on "the big night, the Winnipegers were sluggish and wobbly for the first two periods; unused to playing on an out-door rink, the boys took some time to get accustomed to it.

The small rink hampered them too. Along in the second period a Winnipeg pass went wild, right across the front of the goal. Doug Everett of the United States squad scooped it up and swung it into the cage behind Cockburn. who didn't have a chance on the shot. That one goal lead gave the Unit-.

cd States team confidence and they sat back on the defense and heaved the puck down the ice at every opportunity. CHANGE STYLE OF PLAY The white-clad Canadians changed their style of play. Roy Hinkel was left alone with Cockburn and the other four went up the ice and harried the United States defense. They scrambled furiously throughout the first part of the last period and Franklin Farrell, the United States goalie, was on his knees most of the time batting away shots with his elbows and his hands. The husky United States defense started throwing their weigh- around in a desperate attempt to save that lead.

Penalties to Garrison and Palmer practically simultaneously left the United States sextet in a dangerous position. Hack Simpson finally bekt Farrell on a beautiful lone rust. Gone immediately was the stage fright of the Canadians. From the moment they scored the tying goal till the last bell finished the overtime they had command of the play at all times. Two penalties in overtime failed to stop them.

Sutherland and Malloy were banished but the United States players could not get near Cockburn. Vic Lindquist scored the winning goal. He picked up a rebound at the United States blue line. His momentum carried him through the defense and he shot as he fell and collided with Farrell who had made a wild dive for the Canadian. There were three heats in the 500-metres speed skating event.

Frank Stack paced liesurely around the track to capture the first heat in 44 3-10 seconds. Bill Logan placed second behind Bernt Evensen of Norway in the second heat to qualify for the final. Sylvester of Montreal was boxed on the curve into the stretch and could not break through for the straight-away sprint. Alex Hurd won the third heat i- 44 9-10 seconds. The final was carried off by Jack Shea of Lake Placid, with Evensen second and Alex Hurd third.

Logan was in fifth position, a jump behind Stack, who finished fourth. CONTINUING OUR I I ALTERATION SALE C.N.R. Defeated R.

WTO CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO DRESS BETTER FOR LESS; DURING THIS: ALTERATION SALE GENUINE BARGAINS The Hudson's Bay blanked the C. N. iShops, 1-0 in a scheduled Commercial League fixture, at the Arena last night. Led. by Graham, their fast centre man, who collected the lone goal for the Big Store, sextet, the Kay boys turned in a fast exhibition to hold the C.

N. team through the three periods without a score. Bowerman and Edgley on the defense, and Perks and Farmer on the forward string, were the mainstays of the Shops aggregation while Bowerman, the hefty defense man for the Firemen in the Civic League turned in a good game, though he was somewhat awkward in puck handling, with the Junior company. Graham was the best man on the Hudson's Bay lineup, and on the ice for that matter. This flashy centre man looks like good material for big league hockey, and should make a valuable addition to any junior aggregation.

Besides scoring the lone goal in the first period, he Was easily the fastest forward in the game, and backcherked like a veteran. Nyle Kelly the Bay 70a I tender had an on" night, in this game, and did some pretty goal tending for the Green Shirts, especially during the last frame, when McElheran, Thistle, provided the he forward. linn hoelr 4 It rr Q4 a D.ia line back of the Store blue Dominion Brier Rink Has Narrow Escape At Winnipeg Spiel Canadian Press WINNIPEG, Feb. one or two surprises took place, favorites as a rule dominated todays plav in the annual bonspiel of the Manitoba Curling Association.

The Regina team is composed of some of the best swimmers in th province but Joe Griffiths, who has yet to see one of his Varsity teams lose a swimming meet feels that he has a team this year that is as well balanced as any in former years and is confident that the results of the forthcoming meet will be to the favor of his crew. Don Mantle, holder of several records is the big shot of the Regina team with Hugh Kell, individual champion of the Varsity meet last year, is a heavy favorite.

Arn Millar is also a champion member of former Varsity teams and don Barber of Roughrider fame and Norman Edgar are swimmers with imposing records. So far it has not been learned who the sixth member of the Regina crew will be but it is likely that Lloyd Hackney another former Green and White man will round ut the team. The meet is scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. in the Varsity tank and followers of water sport are guaranteed keen competition in every event and a little water clowning on the side by some of Joe's fancy and foolish divers. only real upset of the day by handing the strong Frank Man-waring rink from the Granite a 13 to 11 setback in the Bilks competition.
