The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-11-26

The largest crowd that has ever at
tended foot ball game in this city
| ii is expected will witness the Scran-
tOn-Wyoming game at the Base Ball
park this afternoon. The game will
be called promptly at o'clock, so as
to allow every one to get home to an
| early Thanksgiving dinner. The game
will no doubt be over by 4.45 p. m.
The Traction company will have q
| large number of extra trolley cars on
hand to carry the crowd home without
any delay.
The Wyoming eleven and substitutes
will arrive in this city at . o'clock and
so directly to the Westminster hotel
where they will have their headquar-
ters. A few students came up from
Kingston yesterday afternoon and
caused little excitement around the
hotel by Offering to back their team to
| win. Their money was gobblcd up 50
quickly by Scranton men that it caused
the Wyoming lads to open their eyes
and wonder whether they had such
an open and shut circle.
After this there wa no money In
sight and those who wished to lay
their money on Scranton were COM
PEELED to put their money back in their
pockets and wait for the main body
of the students to arrive this morn
ing. The betting is slightly in favor
of Scranton. but the Luzernites are
willing to bet any old kind of money
that their team will succeed in scor-
ing.
Reports from Kingston are to the
effect that Wyoming is in excellent
condition and that they have q number
of new plays which they expect to
spring on Scranton this afternoon. The
team has lined up against the scrub
every day this week ard their new
backs are working together like a
machine. The whole team went down
to New York to witness the Princeton
Yale game and when they returned
| home. they all claim that the expert
ence has done them q world Of good.
SCRANTON PLAYERS RESTING.
The Scranton team have been taking
rest for the past two days, from
their practice, but yesterday they were
out in uniforms and went through their
signals for the last time. The team
lines up quickly and the Interference
moves smoothly and cleanly. The men
all have a healthy appearance and as
there are no cripples on the team, they
ought to play a good hard game. The
team Is slightly below the heavy Sem
| mary team, Lut as the men are all old
| players with plenty of experience, no
| fear is felt on this point. In all proh-
ability the teams will line up as fol-
lows:
