w. A. c. Versus U. of I.

At two o'clock this afternoon the
above teams will play the first
game of the season at the w. A. c.
athletic grounds. This game will
be ofgunusual interest from the fact
that it will be the first time since
'94 that the athletic representatives
of these two institutions have sue
ceeded in pulling off contest on
the gridiron. Both teams are com,
posed OF the pick among the col
lege and the university athletics
who have for weeks been training
carefully and conscientiously for
this game. Another item of in
terest in connection with the game
today is that the respective coaches
of the teams were formerly star
players in the first eleven of Car.

playing as full back, and Frank
Shively the w. A. G. coach being
the crack half back of that univer-
sity. The sporting editor of the
HERALD has been a spectator at
the practice games of both teams,
and the similarity of the plays OF
both are very noticeable, also the
fact that each will find it's work
cut out for it to win in the game
this afternoon. OF course it is i'm
possible to get the line up Of the
two teams before play is called but
