MUCH ENTHUSIASM AMONG THE
PUPILS OF THE TWO SCHOOLS
AND THE GAME PROMISES TO
BE INTERESTING AND LARGELY
ATTENDED.

To-day is the day of Turkey and
football Football especially since
today local enthusiasts will see the
game between the teams representing
the two high schools of Pensacola.
Hardly game in the history of foot
bali in Pensacola has attracted such
widespread interest and called forth
such display of enthusiasm. The
players of both teams are all well
known in football circles and both
teams having been seen in games on
the local gridirOn, speculation is rife
as to which is the better. Up to with
in a few days ago sentiment was alto
gether in favor of the Classicals but
the hard practice and signal running
gone through by the High School boys
every day this week has caused COM
ment and a general lessening in the
number who thought the ClasSicaiS
would have walk-over
The High School boys have awaEt
having realized that by work only
would they be able to hold their own
in the Dig game have put in some
hard days work this week. The team
has shown remarkable Improvement
! and every man feels that every other
man is in the best of condition and in
the place where he will do the most
good for the High School colors. Yates
| is the only man for whom any regret
| in regard to the work done, is felt.
| Owing to an abrasion on his neck the
| captain has been unable to put in any
regular practice but has been keeping
up with the plays and maneuvers of
! the team while always just getting in
enough real work to keep himself in
of the game.
Enthusiasm at both schools is ur,
bounded and the largest crowd ever
gathered to witness local school
game is expected, several hundred
tickets having already been sold at
the High School alone, while the
Classical management has succeeded
in distributing large number.
The ClasSicals have the experience
of more season games and having put
in all intervening time at hard work
are expected to show up in better
form than their rivals but qUickness
in execution of plays under the new
rules counts for more than anything
else and this the High School has
shown in practice The teams are
considered very evenly matched
The High School team has consider
ably added TO its strength since the
last game, Bell. full back, being on iol
the big game while out for the game
with NJ. NJ. |. seen here some weeks
since
Anyone who has seen the P. H.
team in action in practice is not sure
but that the defenders of the scarle
and purple (P. c. s. will have thei
hands full in keeping the ball from
crossing their goal line. One man o
their squad has shown remarkable de
velopment and will be counted on a.
sure fer a part Of the same. White
A. L., who is last player at eithe
end or quarter back will probably b
called upon to play in one OF the thre
positions, before the last whistle ha
blown
