The Y. NJ. c. A. team expects to leave
this evening for Denver where il will
meet the Denver Wheel Club eleven on
Saturday. The trip is entirely unexpect-
ed. and up TO last evening had not even
been thought Of. 1t had been expected
thar the Ogden eleven would play in Den
Yer SATURDAY. and all arrangements were
made accordingly, but the ogden team Is
managed by surOng partisan OF the
Union Pacific and he inslstet thal MS
lean must travel by that route II they
went 10 Denver. Inc Denver Club had
arranged TO send transportation over the
RSo Grande Western and Denver & tlo
G1ande, ana when the Oeiens learned
this .ney refused to come over those lines.
As Inc Denver club had advertised the
game very extensively, they wanted d
game with some Jtah eleven, and lney
teIegraphed ]. A. Benton, passenger agent
OF the RIO Grande Western, asking him
TO suggest some other team that would be
u worthy substitute for the Ogdens. lie
suggested the \. NJ. c. A, and transporta-
ton was sent on. Mr.. Benton notlned MI.
.AXton and he sent an acceptance. and
the team viii leave tonight Tor the Col
Orado capital.
From Ogden came the news late last
evening that the Ogden team intended TO
keep its Denver date and would leave thus
evening over The Union Pacific for Col
orado No word had been received there
TO the effect that the game had been
transferred to the y. NJ. c. A. and the
managers were at a loss to understand
what WAS the trouble II is possible that

for the game draws nigh. for the Salt
Lakers VIII certainty leave rhls evening
uniess their transportation is revoked be-
fore then and the Ogdens seem bent on
doing the same thing.
The l-neNqectedness of the game VIII
necessarily initiate against the complete
success of the local team Tor il viii 30 10
Denver in poor trim for a hard game. as
several of the best men on The team Will
be unable to accompany the team. on &C
count OF the short notice given them in
which to secure leaves Of absence. Big
Henderson VIII not be able TO go, as he
lett asst evening Tor the north. to be gone
Tor week or more. Harry Herrick left
last evening for the east before he could
b. communicated with. If word had been
received a Few hours earlier he could have
gone with the team ana played the game.
As II would have only delayed his return
hame "A oaN. ne line-up OF the team that
VIII face the Denver aggregation has not
We; been decided upon. but fifteen men
VIII be taken on the trip and the team
viii be chosen from among them after
The men reach Denver. Captain Smith
gave out last evening a list OF the lucky
ilteen, and they we're as follows: Allen.
AUGUSTUS. Nelson MargettS. Bert Mar
gets, ID, u. Smith, tiopfenheck. Brown,
Scare. Hyde. II. Smith. Barker. Start,
johnson. Osilcr and Williams.
II viii be noticed by those that have
followed the work of The team that the
name Of ST. Earerneman. the center IN
me ogden game. Is not included in tn -
list. Captain Smith viii have the some
what formidable task on his hands of de-
Neoping a center between now and the
game on Saturday. as St. Earernema
has left the city and viii not be able to
play. Hyde Of the university was given
try at the position last evening and he
will probably be chosen TO fill ii. 1t seems
a pity TO take him from behind the line,
where he has proven so valuable. but
there seems no other way out of tae diff
ncuitN. The guards viii probab iy be
Brown and Hill: the tackles. Smith and
lopfenbeck. and the enLs. Scare and
Don johnson. the latter being the Cole
giate end. The men behind the line will
probably be Augustus Alien Nels Mar
gets and Bert Margetts. The work OF
the latter, al quarter has not satisfied
those that have kept track of the team
OF late, and he may be replaced by some
other man.
As bearing on the Ogden phase of the
matter. il is worthy of note that Captain
Dana Smith of the y. NJ. c. A. VINO had
expected to go with the Ogden team.
when IL was understood that they We're
10 play the Denver game, received q very.
ambiguous telegram from Manager Pull
yer late last evening. which said that his
services would not be required for the
Denver trip.
