Bisbee daily review., 1903-11-07

The initial football game of the sea son will take place this afternoon at the new Don LuIs Athletic Park, where the local eleven will try conclu sions with the Redskins from Phoe- nix Arrangements have been made for two trains to carry the large crowd which will undoubtedly be in attendance, the first leaving at 3I o'clock. and the second at 3:45. The latte- train was put on for the ac commodation of the lovers of the game who get of shift at o'clock. The game will be called promptly at and two twenty minute halves will be played. twenty minute halves will be played. The contest promises to be close and interesting Notwithstanding the fact that the Indians have had the advantage of practice, having already played several games. yet the conf dence in the local team is great. The boys have improved wonderfully in the past week. and the team has been very materially strengthened by the ! addition of new men. Perhaps the most notable of these is Nelson, who will play quarter. and who during the | few days of practice in which he has participated has demonstrated that he is a player of the most finished type. And a strong, steady quarter is half os the battle.
 The Bisbee team has in it's ranks | individual players of much merit. and | only practice is needed to develop a very fast eleven. There is much beef and brawn both in the line and back of it, probable average weight being in the neighborhood of IFS pounds. And yet speed has not been sscrihced. witness the fleetness Of the ends and backs. The line prom ises to withstand any amount of ham, mering, and the ends seem fast enough 10 prevent any great gains there. In practice they get down the field fast. The ends will proba- bly have plenty to do. as the Indians | favor a running game.
 Some of the men who have ma ie | reputations elsewhere as football play CTS are Rockwell, who was a noted | Stanford University half. a strong. fast, low runner. who can be depend cd upon 70 skirt the ends for good gains.

 Just what style of game Cant. Swan ! will pursue is hard to get line on
 Yet from the personnel of the team and the conditions it would seem best to play straight football.
