two young men trained to work as two
machines and doing this is something
that is well worth going miles to see. 1t
is a sport Of the masses and hundreds
win stand on the side lines and cheer
for TIE men OF the respective schools.
While a great game for bringing out the
Qualities Of a team and coach it is the
best game for showing the nerve and
strategedy of the players. It is a scientific
game from start TO finish and the team
that is best at stategic movements is
the one which wins
The Friends and Paramount have play
ed one football game on Thanksgiving
day This is the second annual game,
and as far as may be judged from the
playing and practice Of the two teams
each has an almost equal chance Of drag
ging the colors of the other in the dust.
Both teams have been coached by ex-
X L. players Both captains devote al
most all their playing TO line bucks es-
pecially with guards or tackles behind
the line. IN the west the tandem for
nation is used more than any other and
a swift though light team may take a
victory from a heavy one on this play.
AS far as weight is concerned both teams
are about even. Possibly Paramount has
"A slight advantage in the weight of the
men in the line.
The Friends have but two men who
might be called heavy men while Fair
mount has four. In the average Of the
two teams the Friends viii probably
make more even balance per man than
Paramount They have two big men
and the other members of the team are
an about the same size.
The captains of both teams are the star
players of the team. Both men play back
Of the line and if there is a hole in the
line Of the other team they are sure to
Ind it, Both are very strong men and
swift runners. Once away from the
ecrimmage it is barely possible that any
man on either team could catch them.
In the line the Friends have the fastest
men on the ends and they are also the
heavier. The right end of Fairmount is
a good player but does not weigh more
than $50 pounds while both of the Quak-
ers VIII weight 100 or over. Judging
from his playing and GOODNESS Fair
mounts right end would be a better
quarter than end.
Probably the Friends have the advan-
tage IN being sure tacklers. Fairmounts
ends are good men on tackling but only
one OF their halves can come anywhere
near the Friends in that part of the
game. All Of the Friends men who play
back OF the line or on the ends are sure
Of their men when he starts around the
end. and in breaking upon the interior
ence each man takes q part Of the work
and it does not all come to one
II age counts for anything in a game
Paramount has big number OF years in
their favor. Their average age is con-
siderahIy more than the Friends, but
their length of experience on the gridiron
is not ss great All the Friends men
have PLAYED more than one year on the
team while some Of the men of the team
from the Hill have donned a football suit
for the first time this season. The crowd
wiz be great to see the game. the admis-
