Regiment. The men were served with soup
and the officers were ranged along an OPEN
air board more than one hundred yards
long, laid with AGO tin plates and trimmings
for a remarkable feast. The usual Ken

Inc regiment is becoming infected with
the wild and wooily germs of football
fever. The regimental team develops
strength, and as other regiments send their
giants against the Hoosiers, only to receive

egged, the soldiers grow more and more
Interested In the game and in the players.

souri, and the First Territorial elevens have
failed 10 score on Our gfidirOn. Tomorrow

but very few bottles were found inside the
