FOOTBALL SEASON OVER.
Unless a Game Is Arranged in Califor- nia the Normais Will Stop Training.

nia the Normais Will Stop Training.
 So far as the normal is concerned i the football season is practically over for this year. The team held a meeting Monday evening and talked over the question of pIaying the ex-players of Phoenix and they came to the conclus- ion that the inducements were not sui fcient to warrant their training an other week or two to meet them. The only object the normal could rcssi5ly have in playing the Phoenix aggrega- tiou would be a financial one and from { u C experience they have had so far
 this year there has not been enough in the games to pay. Even though they received more than half the gate re- ceipts in case they played the eX- players it is doubtful whether or not they would receive enough to pay them for their extra work and practice. Be side this in playing such a team as Phoenix proposes to put up, there would be much more risk of some O. the players being hurt than there has been at any other game this season. It was the general opinion of the players that they did not care to take the risk. There would be no particular honor at tached to it in case they did win as iL would be out Of the jurisdiction of thel league. So far this season the members of the normal team have been very fortunate and none of them have received injuries of any cOusc- Quence and under the circumstances they do not care to incur the danger. As yet no definite arrangements nave been made for playing a series of games in southern California and un- i less something is done about it very soon the team will go out Of training.
 Since the league series has been com pleted with such remarkable results for the normal it is only fitting that
 brief summary be made. The normal team has played this season four games, making as a total number of points scored 116. In all they made 19 toUch6Owns and of this number kicked r goals. Added to this. one goal from the field in their first game with the
 high school which counts four points.
 makes a total of 116, by far the best record ever made by a. normal team or for that matter any team in the present league When it is considered
 that the team making this grand final
 did it all by clean straight football, t is, indeed, a record that any school might well be proud of.
 IL is unnecessary to say any thing
 OL LLE IGCDI iAlctAA- ny tue 4lalAA LII members of tEe team. The hQaor be- longs as much to one as to another, but particular credit is due Wm.
 WooIf, who did most of the training
 of the team. The normal team has never had the advantages of a paid coach but the assistance of MT WOolf
 has been found equally as good or bet ter and the results of his efforts with the team are plainly evident
 Hendrix has conducted the business of his position with satisfaction to all concerned and the financial record of this years team is equally as good as the one they have made on the field.
 The young ladies of the school come
 in for their share Of the praise for by their attendance at the games and the encouragement they lent to the players they doubtless added much to the final summing up.
 All in all this years team Of football players at the normal is one that will be remembered for years to come and the record made by them will be an incentive to all teams in the future. Football will be dropped at the con clusiOn of the California controversy
 and the normal will then take up base ball, confident that they will do as well in this as in football. the men are aI- ready taking hearty interest in the game.
