DEAR AND ALvA GAME.
In letter to the REruBLIcAN the captain
OF tho Bear foot bail team takes exception
to the report OF the foot bull game at Boar
last Saturday. Instead of tho game being
to in rnvor OF Alva 1t was to , In
favor OF tho Bear.
Attention wae called TO the giants and
their weights put at over 200 pounds in
several Instances. The weight of each
player is as follows: Beaston, lib; Buck.
ser, l75; Burris. ls9: Loveless l67; Webb.
l2S; Bulen, Boycs. Lyman. Barrett Mo.
Mullen aud Frame average 1888.
On the Alva team there were just as
heavy men. Bear wants nothing but clean
foot ball and wants nothing but fair play
and 1t must have it. Iha Alva toam
elrucx the wrong place when It went to
Bear TO play Its funny Tricks. The timo.
keepers deserve plaza III a museum, as
they could not count 90 and watch be-,
fore their eyes. But what is the use of
kicking when the game Ia over and Alva
mon.opoized the newspapers. All We In
tend to do nj Bear is wait till tho clouds
roll by and the thanksgiving turkey 10 o
thing Of the past and We Will be ready TO
play Alya on tho Boar grldlron and play q
fair square game and give fair equare
iepOrt uf same to the public In the papers.
We claim the honors from the midgets
