If Salt Lake City does not have a
strong football team aside from the
ones representing the schools and uni
versity it will not be from lack OF good
material. Under proper management,
with a little enthusiastic pushing, a
squad of twenty-five stars that would
make glad the heart of any coach could
be gotten together. Some of the men
have already played here, but many of
them have gained their reps IN the
east. Dan Taylor, with the Omaha

Athletic association, G. w. Elliott OF
Iowa Wesleyan, McAndrews of D A

formerly played half back on the Y.
NJ c. A. football team, was received
at the association last evening asking

eleven this fall.
Now that the big fight between
Champion Jeffries and Gus Rubin is
drawing near, the reformers have be-
gun to raise up their voices. The
, clergy have begun to take a hand in
the matter. but if the San Francisco
sporting men are up to their reputa-
ton the match will be pulled off The
plan of the reformers, of course, will
be an appeal to the California legisla-
ture and a strong endeavor will be
made to put an anti-b0xing bill
through the hands of the solons 1t

that Jim Kennedy and his crowd can
