 FOOTBALL MATERIAL
Fourteen Candidates for Posi- tions on Squad-Practice
 Starts Tonight,

] DOUGLAS, Nov. 14.-(Special.)- )- There was an enthusiastic meeting 1 of gridiron warriors at the r. M c. A. building last evening which makes doubly sure the certainty of at least one strong local football team and a good game for Thanksgiving day at Sportsman's park
 There are now fourteen candidates for the team and there is no reason why enough more cannot be obtsined to form a regular and a scrub team thus affording the elements necessary for the kind of practice essential to the perfection of strong and skill ful aggregation and adding to the keen interest of obtaining a place on the team.
 Practice starts tonight and will con tinue nightly in the gymnasium ex. cept on two or three days a week when a short late afternon practice will be held
 Varsity Man for Coach.
 The association was fortunate to obtain a most excellent coach in the person of Wright. former end on the Syracuse University eleven and who was also on last years crew. Mir. Wright last evening assumed the du- tlSS Dl tndcn anu SAptNls AV REtB AtAS candidates on the hustle from now on.
 The candidates who have so far re ported are Wright, Lincoln, Herd. Me Carthy. Doran. Augustine, Sassemine, Moore, HodgTnan, Heath, Curtis, Car ter, LeNoir and Skinner. Of these three have had college experience Wright at Syracuse. Herd at Uuiver- sity of Virginia and LeNoir in his col lege days at Philadelphia. All the others have had experience on school and other teams of greater or less magnitude. They are a strong and husky lot and should be able to pro duce a good article of football.
 Challenges Out.
 Already challenges have been sent to Fl Paso, where there is a strong team which recently defeated Orc grande, and to the team Of the Arl zona University, either of which would be a strong drawing card. | Rumors have come from Bisbee oi i the organization of team there and | Secretary Eastman plans to gc up tc the camp this afternoon to see if there cannot be a team representing tn' miners to give Douglas game. ] In the event Of a failure to get anl | one of these three here there is stil an excellent chance to organize loca ! team which would put up an interest ing game, for the association does no contain all the local talent.
 Why Not Have City Team?
 Secretaries Eastman and LeNoi want to know what's the matter witt a ctiy team. They tentatively ad init that most of the finest footbal I talent that breathes Douglas ozone | has been enlisted under the triangle | but they are willing to admit that oth CT good material for players can be | founE in Douglas They would bt very much gratified to see this talent | gotten together and nodded into 8 ! football team for them to go against before the long Arizona football seas on is over. And there is certainly plenty of fine material outside the Y NJ C. A. in Douglas for a team. Mir Eastman has declared that every man who wears the colors of the Y. NJ. o | A. must be an association man. Il must be a representative Y. M. C. A | team or we will not stand for it." as the new secretary expresses 1t. From this fact alone it Is apparent that an | other good team can be found iI Douglas, for the Y. NJ. c. A. men have selected the best of their membership not the best of the town, and the | membership, while healthy and grow ing, does not embrace all that have brain and brawn and know how tc use 1t.
