Outlook for Winning Foot Ball Team
Most Promising in History Of
School

Maj. E, A. Hickman was in town
for several hours Tuesday and made
his report on the meeting of the rep
resentatives of Missouri Military
schools in Moberly last Saturday,
There were present besides Maj. Hick-
ran an, Capt Capt. II y. a. johnson OF Kemper
and Capt. F. ]. Blees of Blees Mil
itary academy,
"The meeting was enthusiastic and
harmonious in every particular,
said Maj Hickman "All three of us
realized that it was just what we
needed. The new association will
have supervision over every branch
of athletics in the three schools.
Each school will play one game of
foot ball. two games of basket ball
and two games of base ball with each
OF the other two. The track cham
pionship will be decided at the annual
preparatory school meet at Columbia.
The team getting the most points
at that meet will be given the mil
itary school championship irrespec-
tive of what other schools in the
meet do.
"For foot ball, base ball and basket
ball championships banners win be
given and for the track champion
ship possession of a cup If team
wins the track championship three
years in succession it will receive, the
cup as permanent property.
"Our foot ball schedule ought to be
good one. We shall play BIees here
on the llth or 10Th of November and
Kemper at Sedalia on Thanksgiving
day. These two games alone would
make hard seasons work worth
while, but of course we expect to take
on several other schools. We had
tentative arrangements with the
high schools of Kansas City, but the
recent action of their faculties in
barring foot ball will deprive us of
those games"
The news that there will be another
Thanksgiving game with Kemper at
Sedalia will bring JOY to the hearts
Of the local rooters who have the
memory of the 1905 game still fresh
That game is still talked about and
has become tradition of the town
as well as of the school.

Wentworth this fall are excellent.
