Inc football situation at present is very
similar to that of last year at this date,
though perhaps worse, considering the
me prospects 10 the beginning Of the sea-
son. The men have been so very unfortu-
nate IN getting laid up and 1t has been
necessary to change men so frequently in
consequence that but little progress has
been m de in team work.
Coach Gill Is somewhat Respondent, and
says the team work is not notch further
along than 1t was three weeks ago. The
invIncible rush line put up against the Re-
lance has been broken into badly. Wit

ends. Wilson, whose end work is always
with ''knee," and although he will prob
ably play on the 29th he is losing the prac-
tice daily. Hump has been extremely I'M
fortunate. After playing brilliantly in
the Reliance games he was injured first in
practice, and had but just recovered when
he was permanently laid aside by bad
arm. injured In alighting from car. This

other one was lost when Dean quit play

they were all sold almost as soon as they
were placed upon the market, and had the
pace been tie Grand Opera-hOuse in
The committee in charge of the affair
smile wisely when asked the exact nature
OF the miDstTelsy farce, and merely say
there will be some surprises in store.
The proceeds of the event will be shared
by the Blue and Gold and the Athletic
its share by something of a political job,
as it is merely class affair and not en-
titled legitimately to a share in the pro-
