The Y NJ. c. 4. team has begun a

D9pVer boys and the local High school
lads. He says that he had engaged the
ground three weeks ago with no stipula-
ton az TO who the game was 10 be played
with. He claims that he said nothing
about game with Eutte al the time. but
mentioned it after the arrangements for
the field had all been made. Mr.. Lake.

that h, had arranged with the university
for Dec. > and asked If he wanted the
grounds reserved AXtOn reply was brief
but to the point. He told Mr.. Lake that
he didn't want the field for that date or
for any other. ssnd that he and his team
were through with IL for all time. They VIII
ll,siS all their future games on the uni
Versity. campus. The greatest trouble that
has ever been experienced with any
grounds III Salt Lake has been that the
crowd would aot keep off the field. With
the popular sentiment growing toward
the suppression Of the evil AXton is con-
fident that the crowd can be controlled as
well ar the CAMPUS as at Walkers field.
