forthcoming game of football between
Tampa and Stetson;
Tampsss first football game of the
season Will occur Saturday afternoon
at the Tampa Bay grounds. The
Tampa eleven will go up against the
strong team of StetsOn University.
Captain Bert Steadman announced
last night that he had the Tampas
in working order. Although the dis
ability of Steve Kissinger and the re-
trement of Jim Anderson from the
gridiron has reduced the available
strength of the team, the places have
been filled and Tampa expects to play
a fast and winning game.
Bobby Lynch, the Memphis baseball
player, who has been here during the
series with the Cubans, has been elect
ed coach of the Tampa eleven. Lynch
Is an old football player and will be
at quarter in the lineup. He had the
boys out for practice last night and
thinks he can work them up to good
standard by Saturday. Steadman will
take AndersOn's vacancy as full back.
Stetson has strong eleven and the
game will be we'll worth seeing. Fifty
cents admission will be charged. The
convenience of the grounds offers an
extra inducement to the attendance.
