team to a Times reporter yesterday, a Co
lumbian man said that there was to be
an effort made to imbue all the Columbian
students with the real 'vanity spirit-to
load them with enthusiasm, energy and
varsity devotion, and then there would be
no reason why Columbian should not line up
the very best eleven to ke found anywhere
In the South.
/ A glance at n few of the men from among
the many that team can be picked in pretty
good proof that Columbian can muster a
healthy football aggregation IL she goes
about 1t In the right way, and there is no
doubt she will go about IL In the right way.

Here are a dozen and one men. They are
only a handful of the good football stuff
that Columbian University there, for there
are now in the law school of that flourish
every great educational concern in the Uni
ted states. IL VIII be seen therefore that
the claim of the originators of the football
team idea, that there is material there for
a great combination, is not without sound
founda ton.
The leading spirits in the football move
ment at Columbian are g. L. Johnson, sec
retary of the Mandolin and Banjo Glec
Club; w. W. Grier, college '94, prominent
In the medical school and interested In all

'94, secretary OF THE Players" These
gentlemen. all thoroughly devoted TO alma
mater and full of college pride, have in
view the reorganization of a football as
ISOLATION, pure and simple. II is not as yet
their intention to GO into an all-round ath-
letic undertaking. That will probably fol-
low later.
= The first lineup OF tue varsity eleven,
taken from the men mentioned above, will
be had this afternoon at O'Clock, and at
this time a manager and captainfor theteam
Will be chosen. 1t is thought that with a
short time for practice, all of the men be-
ing in good physical condition, the team
Will be in good shape to 20 to battle, and
they. will be ready to consider propositions
for games from all local and out-of-town
organizations that may feel inclined to try
conclusions with them.
AS soon as the varsity eleven has been
decided upon they will be uniformed by a
prominent gentleman of the college who
takes upon himself this expense in order to
encourage and aid them.
