 Nanarpr Dunphy. of the St Thomas Cadets foot ball eleven. is lncenSeu at some of the statements in the artl- c1e in last evenings Democrat ill re- gard to the attempts to arrange game between his eleven and the Elms In justice to himself as manager. as well as to the eleven. he denies the ycraclty of the statement that Manager CoS- grove of the Films is not to be blamed. He says the following are the facts of the case:
 About a month ago Manager Cos grove. of the Elms. had conference with Manager Dunphy, of the St Thomas Cadets; and asked him for game on Thanksgiving day. The lat ter answered in the affirmative.

Manager Dun- phy replied no. that he would give no more than S23. CosGrove said he would see Griswold about it,

 tie season. So Manager Dunphy named November IS and he agreed to it. A week ago last Tuesday he saw Dunphy for the third time. Again he cancelled the game on the date. No vember IS. on which they had agreed to play and again expressed a wish of playing early as he didn't know whether the team would hold together long or not, but q meeting was tr he held that night to decide whether the team should be continued or not Man | ager Dunphy said he would see him later. On Thursday night of the same week they met again. Manager Dun lphy said he could give the Films q game on October g, as the game which they were to play with the Merrimacs on that day was cancelled. Further more he would give them S25 to play. He thought this was very reasonable, as the Films had iourneyed to Union vile for S15. barely enough to pay expenses.

 After several days of promising work the inevitable slump in Colum- | bias work came yesterday. and the l scrub tore through the Varsity line I with good effect. It is, true that I Beardsley, Berrian and Morley did not I play at all and Bruce, Austin and
