Local football players are getting ready
for what promises to be one of the most
interesting matches of the season. The con-
test takes place tomorrow at Exposition
Park, and is between the Allegheny Ath-
letic Association eleven and an eleven Pitts
burg players; that is, the latter team will be
made up OF gentlemen selected, residents OF
Pittsburg. Such contest cannot fail to be
OF exceeding interest to lovers of the sport
in and about Pittsburg. Every day the fact
is becoming more and more apparent that
Pittsburg and vicinity is crowded with foot
ball players, and it is only by contests such
as that of tomorrow that the good ones will
be brought to the front. As result it is not
too much to hope that 'ere long Pittsburg will
have football team that Will merit a national
reputation.
LIVELY PLAYING EXPECTED.
To-morrow's contest will commence at 3:45
and if the weather is fine there is sure to be
some lively playing; at any rate it is presumed
that the Athletic team will have tougher lot
to tackle han has been the case so far this sea-
son. The Athletic team will be: John and
Harry Oliver, J. c. Davitt ]. Hammond, c.
Towuley, and Messrs. Moorhead, Valentine,
Fry. White, Brown. Brainard, and Thompson
extra mau. The All-HlCt-Durg eleven Will De.
Nessrs. Davis, Martin, w. ]. Barr, Aul, Stein,
Diebert, Vale. Neil, Proctor. d. Barr, Mack.

tlon, expects to arrange match with the Chi
Cago team to-day or to-morrOW. Il is generally
des red 10 have the Chicago kickers here on
Thanksgiving Day. because the team is prob
ably the best IN the West 1t is made up en-
tirely of old Yale and Princeton players, AID
doubtless an aggregation OF that kind would be
6 great attraction here
NEW CTTRS orc ANrzfSc
Young men employed in the local mills and
workshops are beginning to organize teams.
and one good team has already been organized
at the works of Hussey, Howe & Co. There is
a growing desire to have a match or two played
under Association rules. and it is likely that
the working men aggreGations are more in
Clined toward the Association rules than
toward the Rugby code. Effor are being
made to have contest under the Association
rules, as the Athletic Association has an eleven
that can pla under lhem Secre ary Dswsen
will likely try and arrange a ia Itch under the
rules in question during the next few days
Speaking OF football yeStrruaS a wel.-known
university player, now in this citv, said:
The article in the papers lately, stating that
Yale and Princeton are tie on championships
won is not correct. Yale has won six and
Princeton practically only three champion
ships-in rs. IS a d 'S9. Prirceton, however,
claims a champio hip in 1879, owing the
game being tie. Safety uoucn-Qowns did not
count that year. Princeton, owing to having an
inferior team, were compelled to touchdown
for safety IL times, which, If counted, would
have given the game to Yale by p to o."
