As regards weight, the two teams are
very closely matched. In tactics and
team work. however, it is believed that the
Butte boys have the advantage, there be-
ing several old college players of their
number and very small percentage to
whom the game is at all new, while the
Spokane boys are all athletes, but have
hitherto won their laurels on other fields
than the gridiron. DIR. Luhn of the
Spokanes, is from the University of Penn
sylvania, and is thoroughly conversant
with all the latest tricks aud mass plays.
He was formerly captain of the team, but
unfortunately broke his left arm during a
recent practice game and will probably
not play in the present game.
Leslie Belt, the present captain, is a son
of the mayor of Spokane. Hon. H. N.
Belt. He is % years old and a graduate
of Beloit college, Wis, where he acquired
the football habit. He is also q baseball
player of considerable note.
Harvey Martin is member OF the
Spokane fire department, as are also
Stopher, Dolan. Yingst and Noonan.

Stopher holding the championship of the
state of Washington in sprinting, jumping
and weight throwing. He is also base
ball player.
McPhee is a member of the police de-
partment of Spokane, and is in his first
year of football work. He is considered
whirlwind on the field and is remarkable
for his endurance. --.
Powell and Graves, respectively full
back and left half back, are the star foot
ball players of Spokane, having played in
20 games and never yet being compelled
TO acknowledge defeat.
Will Luhn is a graduate of Notre Dame,
and an old player. He is a brother of DIR.
Luhn. ~
Joe Wilmhurst is an old Canadian
player, and has all the thickness of the
border men. . ...i' Hi'la .
Jim Hooper, the Butte coach and left
guard, commenced paying this position
in '91 at the Michigan mining school, at
Houghton, and later at the Colorado min
ing school, and in 1913 distinguished him
self on the Ann Arbor IL. He is
wonderful player, with thorough
knowledge of the intricacies of the game,
and in his time has played against many
of the crack teams of the West, including
Chicago A. A. c., Denver A. A. c., Cap
tain Stages team of the University of
Chicago, and many others of less note.
n tai of ha
team, is player of large and varied ex-
perience. In the years from 'e4 to '88 he
played end on the Exeter college team,
and was captain of the Cambridge team
in 1872. He was absent from Butte last fall
when the disastrous game with Omaha
was played, playing a winning game
against his alma mater at Exeter. Cap
tain Brooks is playing left half back.
Donald ellis, half back, played this po-
sltion In '91 and 1872 at the Michigan min
ing school, and with other teams in that
state. Besides being first-class football
man, ellis is a splendid runner and is a
quick and sure tackier.
Tom Bowie learned the game in Scot
land, at Alloa academy, Glasgow, and also
played in the crack Edinburgh eleven.
From 's7 to '89 he played with the Y. NJ. c.
A. team of Omaha.
Wilbur Boyce played first at Shattuck
school, four years ago. and has never
missed an opportunity to play since then.
playing with the Crescent City eleven. and
afterwards with various teams at St. Paul
and Washington. Stivers is playing quar-
ter back.
George w. King has never played any,
thing but left end, and takes to it as nat
urally as duck to water. he has played
with the Olympics of California and at
the university of California in 81 and 1872.
Charles Blackburn has played for sew
eral years, both at the Ogden military
academy and IN Butte.
Morris Allard Davis learned the game
at the university of Illinois, and is a quick
and sure quarter back.
Richards, Ellis. Weiss and Griffith are
new in the football arena, but are athletes
of standing and will show up well in the
houro of trial. Calkins and Jones have had
some experience, but principally with the
old association game.
OF one thing the people of Butte may
be assured, and that is that her name and
fame are being batued for by men who
are thoroughly and conscientiousiy
trained. There may be better players in
Butte in certain positions, but, If so, they
have not appeared at the practice hour
each day and are therefore not in the
game. The Omaha game was lost through
lack of training and team work. and il
the present game should not be won for
Butte, IL will not be from these causes.
To put in a man at the last moment. I'M
trained and unskilled in the work of the
team as an entirely. would be TO throw
away the game. The members of the
team, and the public generally. have per-
feet confidence in the judgment and abil-
ity OF Francis Brooks, the captain of the
team. and Jim Hooper, the coach, and
they know that the team will not be weak
ened by "trading horses in the middle of
the stream"
Those who may occupy the grand stand
will have every facility of an uninter-
rupted view of the game. as deputy sher-
ifs will keen every one from the space be-
tween the field and the spectators. No
one but players will be allowed inside of
the ropes.
The grounds will be sprinkled and
everything possible done for the comfort
of spectators. The admission will be 81,
with children half price.
