1--WE can play in the snow If they cam"
said Manager Stivers of the Butte Foot
ball team, yesterday. as he gazed out of
the window at the fast falling snow.
THE game with Reliance will take place
one week from Wednesday no matter
how much snow there may be. OF
course we have never played in the snow
and II may interfere with us somewhat,
but the Reliance team is not used to
snow either, and 1t will be a standpoint
i'm that respect. In the East they always
expect snow for the Thanksgiving
games"
Next Sunday the game between the
High School and the Silver Bow juniors
will take place for 800 a side.
The Reliance eleven will return to San
Francisco Immediately after their game
in Butte, a week from next Wednesday,
to get in shape for their game with the
Olympics on Saturday, Nov. %. The
Olympics will then come north and at
tempt to lower the famous crimson and
cream on Thanksgiving day. Manager
Pringle, of the Reliance team, stated in
an interview at Portland that he would
rather win the game against the Olympics
than any other that his team is to play
this season, not even excepting that with
Butte.
The Portland Oregonian had the fol-
lowing about the Reliance players after
their arrival in that city:
Fifteen stalwart young athletes from
Oakland, still bearing upon their faces
the bruises and discolorations received in
recent struggles on the gridiron field,
arrived yesterday morning on the South
ern Pacific train, and are now quartered
at the Portland. They are the members
of the famous Reliance Club football
h ahor foV.tr of hn
now touring the Northwest, and next
Saturday afternoon they measure
strength with the Multnomah eleven in a
match game at Multnomah field. The
team is in charge of William Pringle of
the Reliance Club, who is manager for
its northwestern tour, and ii includes the
pick of the men who have played in the
recent games against Stanford and Berk-
ley. 1t also includes in its makeup four
ex-Stanford players, who came north in
1898 and played in the Thanksgiving day
game against Multnomah.

colored sweaters, decorated with the em-

siderable attention yesterday because OF
their great size and weight. The MEM
bers of the team, with the exception OF
the ends and backs, weigh between $50
and 100 pounds each. They are manly
looking lot of fellows without exception,
and, from the deep tan of their skin and
the hardness of their muscles, IL would

dition, and that they have been playing
football six days out of seven for the last

team who saw the Oakland boys at prac-

day stared in awe at the proportions of

playing as developed in yesterdays
practice. are the long passing of the
quarterback and the loose interference.
Not once during the practice did they
form in close interference, the kind OF
blocking that Multnomah is strongest In
stopping. and the home team is likely -to
be at disadvantage In checking this
open style of play.
