decoration taking up usually the fore
noon only. This custom is inaugurated
in Butte this year but IL is the inten-
tion to have the big football game
which has been arranged TO start late
in the afternoon, so that the exercises
will not be interfered with.
The football game will be between
the home team and the Y. NJ. G. 4.
team from Salt Lake City. The visitors
are confident of victory, so much SO
that odds of two TO one are freely Of
fered in Salt Lake. without takers.

a quick, young. snappy team. and their
correspondence indicates "A determine
ton to play all around their present OPP
ponents. They average about l6l
pounds per man. net weight: but IL is
possible that a personal inspection of
the individuals will show the presence
of much more beef than Is credited to
them. 1t is the habit among football
players to disparage weight ability and
everything else which might give the
opposing team any more confidence
than can be avoided However. the
past records of both teams give every
assurance that a bitter struggle will
take place before either aggregation ac-
knowledges defeat The championship
of the Rocky Mountains is at stake as

which any team might be proud 60 win,
and also has an intrinsic value which

will bring it with them.
