 Speaking of the football game between the local Athletic Club team and the Fit Barancacs team in Pensacola Christmas Pensacola paper says:
 The game throughout was clean and enjoyable one, devoid of fights and ar guments between the players, and one that was pleasure for the spectators to witness. The Montgomery boys were much lighter than their opponents, and spect, they nevertheless put up a fine exhibition of football playing. Their team playing was much better and carried out with better effect than that of the Ba- rancas eleven. The latter depended al- most solely upon their weight to carry them through the lines of their opponents and their weight and strength made this possible. They could easily break the line of the Montgomery boys, which they found out after a few team plays and they always used their strength with success and a gain.
 Throughout the game the cheering was general and whenever Montgomery made a good gain. the spectators showed their appreciation by giving the visitors loud applause.
 The visitors proved themselves to be gentlemen. and conducted the game in a highly creditable manner. The frequent scrimmages and fights on the gridiron by visiting teams in this city made the actions of the Montgomery boys especial ly appreciated. The Barrancas boys also showed themselves to be gentlemen in every respect.
