tional committee, give the opening game to

question was decided by casting lots. Next
Monday the opening game will be played in
Philadelphia and the next in New York, the
alienation continuing thruout the series.
1t is estimated that the limitation put on
encroachment of the field will limit the crowd
in New York to q, 900 and in Philadelphia to
10000. Secretary Knowles thinks that he may
be able to get as many as 10000 in the polo
grounds An accurate measurement will be
necessary to decide.

HIGH TEAMS START /
ON THE WEEKS WORK
BY GIL.


Coach Morse and his football students spent
a pleasant hour at the Central high practice
grounds yesterday afternoon. The men were
full Of snap and 60 and the touch Of winter
in the air sufficient to send them into play
with recklesSness and abandon which would
have disconnected any team playing against
them.
At North Side George Nye, who with Bern
hagen turned out last years championship eleven
took charge Of the squad. Signal practice was
followed by lively scrimmage. The boys went
into the work in good spirit and made showing
which was very satisfactory to the new coach
North Side is still without game for Friday.
Paul Solem out in suit at South Side
and will make Ostrem and Brooks hurry in
the lace for quarter. He seems to have COM
pletely recovered from the injuries which have
been keeping him out of the game and played
with all his oldttme dash and vigor. He stands
good show of regaining his old place. Gunder-
son and Holmstad showed up well in the back
field.
The squad was the largest which has reported
for practice since the season began and things
are beginning to look very hopeful to the follow
ers of the orange and black Horton, former
South Side star, out to help Coach Gold
blum, and for time played fullback the Sec
ond team. Friday South will go to st. Paul to
play Mechanic Arts.
East Side Is not at all downcast over its
defeat by the university freshmen, and the squad
which turned out at the University avenue
grounds yesterday went thru practice in way
which brought JOY to the hearts of the East
Side rooters. ---
