First Game of High School Football
Team Will Be PLAYED at Waterloo.

The high school football season will
open on Saturday at Waterloo, when
the local team meets team
from both the east and wesl
side schools of that city. The
prospects are not as rosy as they
might be owing TO several things
which have combined recently to give
the team backsets. Two of the play
ers are out owing to studies. Lin
coun, who was recently hurt, has not
returned to the game, and the second
team, which was OF great value IN
practice, has disbanded.
AS now arranged the first game OF
the schedule to be played in this city
will be on November Z when Water
loo comes here for a return game. Az
the Saturdays of the season are filled
excepting two. Cedar Falls was to
have played here on October 81, bu.

public. in order to put people on their
guard, should the scheme be- tried.
The names of the men are unknown,
but one travels under the name of
Brady. He is described 10 be about 50

his companion $1,000 If they could pick
out certain card, with the form of a
