School Teams Will Tonight Arrange
Schedule For the Season.

A schedule for the games that are TO
be played by the school teams in the
race for the championship will be made
out tonight. A meeting of the managers
of the teams Will be held in the Y. NJ.
c. A. parlors and the matter VIII be
fully discussed and definite action VIII
be taken. The High school, All HalloWs
college, University of Utah, and the
Collegiate Institute VIII be represented.
AS it is planned, each team will play
each of the other teams one game, max
ing six games in all. One game week
will be played and the season VIII De
ended by Christmas day. There mas
been much rivalry the past few seasons
between the school slevens, and the re-
suit he's been that they have played
very close game of ball A schedule
was made out last year and the only
trouble experienced WAS that games
We're postponed and the schedule was
thrown all awry. To remedy that any
game that is not played this season VIII
be forfeited by the team that fails TO
come up 10 the requirements. The
High school won the championship last
year and the other eleVens are deter
mined that they will not walk away
with il again this season. Some spirited
contests are expected.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the game that is TO be played
on Thursday between the Y. NJ. c. "A.
and the High school While the odds
are in favor of the Christians in that
they are heavier by twenty-five pounds
and are older players, the High school
boys are well able to take care of them
selves. They have demonstrated time
and again that they are able TO play
about as pretty a game of football as is
put up on the local gridiron. on sew
cral occasions they have gone against
teams as heavy as the Christians, ana
the High school boys have left the field
victorious. Both elevens are practicing
hard for the game and they will both go
on the field in fine trim. Both Will
have crowds of rooters out to make the
air hideous with their Comanche yells
and the event will take on the air of a
college game. Tallyho parties will be
in evidence and will watch the game
from the side lines, while the colors Of
the two elevens will be there in profu-
sion.
The Collegiate Institute boys are rap
idly getting into shape after the hard
shaking up that they received at the
hands of the Christians. They are prac-
ticing hard every day in order TO be
in condition to cope with their rivals in
the interscholastic class. They are play
ing much better game than they have
put up before this season. and when
they meet with the other schools they
will have some surprise TO spring.

resume his practice with the team that
he says is going to be the winner or
the game on Saturday, and that is 60

minute halves will be played at the
game, which are longer by ten minutes
than local elevens are accustomed to
play.
The second and third teams of the
high school will play match game on
the coming Friday. to decide the ques-
ton of superiority which has been agi-
tating them for some time past.

Tallie Williams. who played halfback
on the Y. NJ c. 4. team in the game at
Ogden, has left town, and Hopfenbeck
has been taken on the team. Consider
able shaking up of the positions of the
backs will probably ensue as result,
and some of those who think their po-
sitions secure will be laid off.
D. A Callahan. coach of the high
school team, received a letter yesterday
from Clarence McFadden. who was
manager of last years high scaool
eleven McFadden is attending college
at Notre Dame university, and he
writes enthusiastically of the spirit
manifested in college games. He states
that if the same spirit could be infused
into the local teams, the playing of the
game would improve wonderfully.
