reference and his sack,ing was one of the
features 81 the game. Being an old En-
xilsh Rugby player. he had difficulty At
FIRST In getting onto the different game
The excellent work of the line on Sa;ur-
day was due largely TO the efficient coach
ing OF Nichols Since his shoulder has
been troubling him he has acted as head
coach and the results of his work are
plainly seen. Capt Larsen BIanck always
has the crowd with him. and IL Is doubt
ful II anyone earns more applause this
season. His hard work for the Y. NJ c. A.
team in getting tfie men out. his good gen.
eralshsp and hard. effective playing will
gain ham fr.ends on any field. II is re-
markahle that 50 young and so light a
player should be capable OF doing the good
work he does in every stage Of the game.
Managers Inverarity. OF the 8. A. G..
ans. Lewis. OF the Y. NJ c. A.. are hard at
work with preparations for the big game
on Thanksgiving day Tickets viii be
placed on sale this week at prominent
stores
II Is expected that the attendance Of
$50 at the Labor Day bicycle races will
be duplicated Thanksgiving day. Placing
the hour for the commencement of the
game ut half past Il meets with approval
on all sides. This will put the game at
the warmest hour of the day and will also
prevent the spectators from missing their
Thanksgiving dinners.
The game will be the only one the two
teams viii play this year and will settle
the local championship as far as the two
local organizations are concerned. The
university team will. however. com. into
contest with the winner for the champi-
onship in case the Y N. c. A. wins.
The crowd at the game last Saturday

were a large number of Y. NJ c. A root
ers on hand and che g. A. c. and high
school supporters also joined in roofing

The Y. NJ. c. A. boys are eagerly antici-
pat.ng the return of Stark Humes. their
piucky end rusher. who played early in
the season with them and then went To
California. He expects TO return this
week and will surely be on hand for the
Thanksgiving game.
