The team of football-players that will

Saturday at Haigh;-slreet grounds has not
as yet been chosen. The manager is using
particular care in selecting the team, as
only first-class players can hope to defeat
the men who will wear The colOTs of the
Reliance Club. The game should prove
good drawing card, as it will give the
friends of both teams an idea of how the
athletes will compare with the college
boys in the seasons race for place.

itiation fee from SO to $40 there has been

have been specially hot rivals aud the play was
significant of this class feeling.
The principal features OF the game were the
plays made by '96's "nalfs," The line bucking
OF thomas. 97. and Cochran, &c. and the
taekling OF Rice. '97 and SpauIding. '96.

around DTS right end and made The hrst
The end OF the first half Reynolds again made
touchdown, but the try for goal was failure.
Score: 100 with '97 in the rear.

yards Tor Its employers. Reynolds made one
touchdown, SpauIding the other, and both Ie-
suited IN goals through the accuracy OF Cocn-
