nugby was one of the chief topics b, dlgcussion at s meeting of the Abegwelq, can; executive held last ‘venjng at the Revere Hotel. De- termination was voiced to push the I sold guns" harder than ever this‘ fall. A football committee was ap- pomed m carry on a campaign for g great revival in the sport. This committee consists of Prof. W. J. MacDonald, to whom the younger generation of flllbyii“ "'5 5° much, s. F. Doyle and Byron Brown, slants of yesterday, and eve,- ardent supporters of the game, ‘ml Robert Shaw. .

1y is no secret to state that the "awn the team during the last yew years did not rise to greater height; was lack of new worlds to conquer. Much credit is due Messrs w, J, MacDonald and St. C Trainer ‘who during those years almost un- aldcd put the game on its feet,-and gathered together from in and a- muml the city the rugby products of school, college or university. Be-

squad of energetic youngsters, in

the opinion of many potential

champions, has remained without

the development which comes from

constant practice. Those who saw

the Abegweits win the provincial’ title in 1929 and 1930, and even last year play tie games with the strong Dalho ‘ and Mount Allison ag- gregations, were impressed with the showing which the locals made when practice was considered, and with the possibilities which the future might hold for the wearers of red and black.

Several boys who have worn Abegweit colours in former years and have played on the Mainland will be in the city this Fall, not- ably Glen Partridge, star Mt. A. half, George Ayers, fast and husky forward, Gordon Darrach, speedy Mt. A. forward. Among others who are showing promise and who have played a few senior games are Borden Cox and Bill Fitzgerald. There should be other players now

DUWN THE BACK STRETCH

We are very pleased to note that Del Volo is back in form again. He won the 2.15 Trot at Woodstock the opening day for Owner Monte Ge- row. 1t must have been a real bat- tle royal between Del and Phil D., each having two heats to his credit before Del Volo came through to win the deciding heat. The best time was made in the ~ first heat, 2.14%. Phil D. was four, four, two in the Nineteen Mixed here Exhibi- tion week.

' Addie McGraw, who was the win- ner oi the 2.27 Maritime Bred here is still going strong. ‘She won the 2.25 ‘lrct at Woodstock August 31st, best time 2.10, beating Betty S, Jack Evans, Star Dillon and oth- lIS.

Don Vernon who was third in the summary oi the 2.22 Trot and Pace here, won his race the twenty-one mixed in straight heats at Wood- stock, best time 2.15%. He also won at Springfield, Me., Sept. 7th, with the same summary in 2.16,

Lilian. 2.08%, winner 0f the 2.22 Trot and Pace here and piloted by ‘R911’ Hanifin, was again s. winner at Woodstock in three straight, the second day of the meeting. The best time was 2.14, not as fast as the stepped at Charlottetovlgl.

‘Another world's record has been broken, that of three year old trot- ters on a half mile track. The for- m" record was 2.06% made by “we. 2.0214. by The Extract, 2.1m in 1927 and then equalled by Legal- lly a 2.02 in 19:10. The new record new belongs to Invader, 2.0419, a handsome bay colt who established ll at Middleton, u. Y., just one week after the Hambletonian where he yon second honors.

Dick Reynolds. the little son o: , Slnsle 0.. 1.50%. made short work of his opposition in winning the 2.20 pace at Springfield, Ill., August 23rd. Dick is the worlds champion double gaited stallion.

The season's largest aged money winning trotter, Ankabar, 2.01%, by Bingen Silk. by winning the 2.12 Trot at Springfield, August 25th, secured for his owner the coveted Governors trophy, to say nothing _of the large purse of $3,000.

His Majesty, two year old pacer, son of Abbedale, 2.01%, showed what a wonderful youngster he is by defeat-ing a fine field of two year old pacers in 2.04% and 2.02%, the final mile establishing a new world's race record.

The Frec-Fbr-All pace at Spring- field brought together four high- liners and was won by the big stal- lion Cold Cash. He did not have it all his own way, however, as he was beaten the second heat by Winni- peg, 1.570;, who stepped the mile in 2.02%, the fastest heat of the race, the others being 2.06% and 2.06.

Our Island horses made a very fine showing at the Halifax meet, which concluded Thursday last. The first day they won a second, (Hush, 2.10) three thirds, The Willys, 2.13, Lucky Lindy. 2.12 and Yorkola, 2.14, and a fourth, Al B. Jr. The second day they carried off the large end of the money by win- nlng two firsts, Johnny Miles, who now bears a tab oi’ 2.24 pacing. and Frank J. Ortolan, 2.13, two seconds, Billie Witt second to Johnny Miles and Golden second to Frank J. Or- inlan. Mr. Squires and Peter Dawes were fourth in their respec- tive classes. The third day Heath- erbell copped three heats with Star D second and one fourth, Al B. Jr. The track was heavy due to so much rain, but the racing was ex- cellent, tha spectators wiirwflfllnil’ many thrilling finishes.

Lucky Lindy, driven by Owner McNeill, was exceptionally good at Halifax, his summary rcndlns. two- two, two. Pax Volo won tho fir“ heat by a length from Lindy in 2.10%. The second heat was Won by Marjorie M. with Lindy IBM" second in 2.1211. while the third heat was a real race which Mar- jorie won only after a hard 411W through the stretch, beating Lindy by short half a length in 2.10%, first half in 1.03.
