The MANAGEMENT of A%naconda's
eleven is straining every nerve to make
the game of Tuesday a success. Here
tofore men and boys have crowded on
the field and spoiled much of the en-
. Joyment of those in the stands, as well
as. preventing the proper formation of
plays by the teams engaged. Side line
badges will be issued and only those
who are fortunate enough TO secure
--one VIII be allowed within the enclo-

shape, in fact the recent storm has
made an excellent surface for fast
The hearts of Anaconda's boys were
made glad Yesterday by the news that
Storey and Starlight, the rough riders of
the team, will be on hand to assist the
team In disposing of the visitors. They
have both been in Missoula and will be
over to-day or tomorrow.
The friends of the team will be inter-
ested in the following brief account OF
the several players: Capt. A. r. Oliver
first essayed the game some five years
& on the Oakland, Cal, high school
team. His marked ability soon attract
ed the attention of "Appius Claudius'
Frick of Reliance club fame, and he
was Immediately annexed to the Ma
rcon and white. and. until he donned
the padded clothes for Anaconda last
spring, was always a gallant defender
of his colors. He is everywhere ranked
as the best guard in all the West. and
the peer of any in the East. Heffel-
finger. lYale's idol. classed him as the
likeliest man he had ever coached. Mr..
oliver is also a runner, jumper and shot
putter of note.
Patsy Sullivan. the lightweight of the
team. is an old Anaconda boy. having
gained all his bruises Inc knowledge

half back on the team last fall, but
his sureness in passing decided him as
quarter for the springs campaign. and
he acquitted himself so nobly that no

j. T. REM is an untried quantity at
center. but he has shown up very well
at practice and will undoubtedly give
a very good account of himself in his
initial appearance.
James Ntzhugh,, right guard. had
gained a reputation on the st. Mary's
college team of Oakland. Cal, when the
Reliance management took him up.
He showed only mediocre form until in
December, 1895. Butte came to San
Francisco to clean up a debt against
Reliance. During this game so many
Reliance men were hurt that finally
Mac" was the only sub on the side
lines He was put in as a last resort
and was expected to be little better
than a stick. He disappointed the wise
ones. however. for he went in and vir-
tualIy won the game. Since then he
has grown heavier and stronger and
upon joining Anaconda's team played
guard.
John La Fontise is another strictly
local player. He first rolled the pigskin
in the spring Of 1897 against Missoula's
heavy weights. During last spring he
was half back and end, but this season
he will play at left tackle. where all
