PUNTS AND PASSES.
University Will Play the Soldiers on
Monday.


The first team of the University and
the Fort Douglas team will play a
match game on the varsity campus
Monday afternoon at $3.50. The old trou-
BILE that has always been experienced
at the campus in keeping from the field
the irresponsible small boy and the boy
of greater years who ought to know
better, Will, the managers state, be
wholly aileviated at the game on Mon
day. 1t is given out that the whole
troop of cavalry from the fort will be

Will keep the crowd from the field at
the point of the bayonet. From past
experiences of the various games play
ed there, il viii require troop of cav
airy mounted and with all the equip
ments of war to make any Roadway
against the foul-mOutEed youngsters
that invariably wriggle into a game on
the varsity campus. The game from
football standpoint viii doubtless be in
terestins. At the previous game play
ed between the two elevens, the var
city team was victorious with the score
is to 0. In the time that has ELAPSED
since the game, the boys in blue have
been hard at work and will be able
10 put up a much better sample of
football than they have in the past.

football enthusiast himself. has been in

practice there Will be handed out to the
varsity much harder game than they
had bargained for.
The Collegiate Institute team took
brace yesterday and got out to prac-
tice. They found, too, that they were
not in as hopeless a condition as they
had thought they were. Nearly all of
the men We're out yesterday, and an
hour and half was put to good adj
vantage. They have abandoned the
open interference that they used in the
game with the Y. NJ c. a and are now
practicing a close interference that is
bound to be ground gamer Now
that they have gotten down to work
again they are looking for games. and
il is highly probable that the High
school Will be accommodated in the
near future. Captain Graham has
thought the matter of disbanding over
seriously and has concluded that when
such good work can be done as was
done yesterday, there is no reason TO
disband before his men have won the
school championship.
Those who watch football matters |
closely have almost abandoned all hope
OF seeing a match game between the |
old rivals. the University and the High |
school. Almost from time immemorial /
these two teams have been pitted /
against each other and the supremacy |
has osciliated between the two Last |
year it was with the High school and |
it would be supposed that the crimson 1
and white would be hot after the scalp /
of the red and black this year. From |
all appearances they are not however.
and il looks as though the two teams I
viii not meet TO settle the old score.
Both of them are playing a fast, clean
game of football, and although the Uni
versity team is heavier by ten or fif-
teen pounds, IL meeting could be ar
ranged the match would be a pretty
one, and it would be a difficult matter
to pick the winner.
The managers OF the school teams are
beginning to grow tired of practicing
without any games in sight, and have
concluded 10 get together and see If
the common ailment cannot be alIevi-
ated. The proposition of arranging a
series or games was made to All Hal
lows yesterday by the High school and
was favorably considered. Both teams
admit that this is what they ought to /
have done at the beginning of the sea-
son. The Collegiates We're also consult
ed with regard TO the matter and they
were willing The managers of these
