rothaIl has ceased to DO exclusively
College game, and the many gradu-
,,y settling In tho larger cities and
nWrs have formed athletic iassocia-
tpnS whose clcvcnS rank up. with. tho
sstly trained colleslans. Such mater
.l has given Pittsburgh her famous
Ytyburgh Athletic Club and d. C. md
C.; Grensburg, G. 4. A. and La
t-,ss L. \. 4. and the rivalry be-
tvtGn those for the Championship OF
TtS;ern Pennsylvania Is very Intense.
No shall wear the laurols VIII be de-
ufm!nrd In tO-day's EamG ut Pitts
tarsh between the G. A. A. aud D. C.
E C., neither OF which have been beat
e. ~ far this season, excepting the lat
;,r By the Three AS who were import
ID !Jr one game. To-day's contest will
gtt,s the championship among ath-
kt!c association teams, but the real
championship will In manner be SET
It'd By the meeting OF Washington
Jefferson and D. C. and A. C. should
L, latter be victorious to-day. The
zane between the latter teams takes
Y!ate IN the Smoky City on Thanks
giving day.
Considerable regret Is expressed that
TasAingt0n-JeiIerson and West Vir-
EElI University cleyens do not play
Ills season. Tho West virSlnIans
san more eager for the contest than
IT, Washington boys, but all efforts to
arrange 4 contest have been futile. 1t
vas supposed that the game might be
pulled on IN Wheeling on Thanksgiving
day, but the Gathering OFFER received for
game on that day with D.. c. and A,
c. Will probably bring Washington &
Jefferson to Pittsburgh. Football lovers
here would like TO sec n @ game on
Thanksgiving day between the black
AL rcd End old gold and blue, but n
e03d article OF football will be fur
sIkel them by the contest between the
Wheeling Tigers and West University
Q, Pennsylvania kickers. One, year ago
on the fair grounds. the Tigers were
Easy vict5rs, this time they will have
10 work harder. Manager Smith sccur-
ed the Island ball park for the game
yesterday, and as considerable expense
n! be incurred. the rooters for the TiS-
els should rally In force for. the game.
Ias Pennsylvania students will be here
ty ths hundreds, and promise 20 make
L!ags lively.

Tam work Is lacking. which Il not 10
