he done now but one more nara n az
lice for the blue and white team:
Cant. Cope will have the squad OUT

|Iav that has been taken up VIII De
aona through with and the t1mshlhg
touches will be put on for the WORN .,
against the crack team "oVer hollle.
The officials for the game nave hot
vet heen selected. 1t was hoped thaI
Cant. Hogan, of the Yale team, WouIu
he in Savannah and go over TO witness
the game. 1t is still believed that ne
will get hack in time for the event, ana
in case he does, he will be suggested as
one of the officials. ...
The weather for the game promises
nc far as it is able to be foreseen now,
10 be excellent.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the rivalry between the two CUES IS
intense. and that the game viii be one
~ the most hotly contested OF any IN
the South. That Savannah Is cohnueht
of victory, not only among the players
themselves. but the loyal supporters, is
manifested in the several good-slzed
humps of money that has been sent TO
the City by the Sea to be wagered on
the result. SO far no odds have been
offered, but this will be done If IT IS
necessary, and if the Charleston boys
can beat the Crackers they can take
in enough on the side to supply them
FOR the ensuing year.
