Park City team. the Y. NJ. q. A. team
OF Ogden, the Provo team and the
local players this season can and
doubtless Will be made the brightest OF
any sinoe the advent OF the natiopsI
game In Utah. 1t the purpose OF tho
amusement committee to have several
good games.
The bicycle meet Ia also to be some
thing interesting. Indeed it is thought
that more good ruces will be given
than have been seen here for two years.
1t Ia iotended to make the bicycle
meet cover parts OF two days. These
will probably be the tive ntieth and
twenty -thiru. The track at Beck's 10

One Of the commission has been in
Oguen to arouse interest in the meet.
He is full OF satisfaction at the result
and reports that the Junction City
cyclists are full OF enth usiasm.
Association football Is drawing to
the front again and the prospects are
that we shall have a fine exhibition OF
that game. There was a time when
we knew nothing here OF Rugby with
Its sharp, numerical commands, roll
ing, scrambiiDg, tumblidg masses OF
long. haired young men In pomiscuous
arrangement; anu inciJsntly broken
noses with eyes In deep mourning to
match. But We do not have the as.
ISOLATION game in all Its shin-barkinx
glary.
The game 10 really q scientific affair
when played property and Just as In
tetestiug and more lively THAI Rugby.
We have three or four teams IN the
State at present and the Jubilee game
" III be- plsy,d between one OF these,
or one picked Irvm them, and q team
from Wyoming. The salt Lake team
the enc that will doubtless play met
the Provo eleven Monuay and defeated
them by u score OF 3 to o. The lineup
10 not complete yet lor the game With
the boys from Wyoming but most of
the men have been assigned positions.
The association field does not differ
materially from that used for Rugby
but the arrangement of tbs playsrs is
not at all the SAME. The front pre-
aented 10 the opposing team lie made
up OF five forwards and they are
scattered across the,ti.ld. Behind these
are three hslfbscks aad two fullbAcks
take positlot ehort distance in front
OF the goal. Toe eleventh man 10
stationed al the goal anu is called goal
keeper A goal Is made by kicking the
ball between the upright anu under
the horizontal peles.
The lineup OF the home team, az far
as determined on, 10 as folIwt; Walter
Smithers. center forward; John Ed
monde, inside right forward; David
Edmonds, outside right forward; A.
stephenson, outside left forward; A. J.
Wilson, center halfoack; Altoru Beiz,
right hRlfbnuk; John A. Wilson,
left iullback. The position OF inside
left forward, lett halibsck, right ful!-
back and goal keeper are AS yet ua-
filed.
1t is possible that teams from other
parts OF the State may wish to COM
pete. II they do they should report ut
once go tnat arrangements can be
made for them.
The track events win be held ON the
morning OF July 24tn. Some Of the
best men OF the St.ts have signified
their intention to take part. Tue pro.
gram is as follows:
