eted by the strikers. and in easy reach
Of most of them are lines of breast

and determined strikers, who declare
the mines shall not resume operation
with non-union workers, not proceed
to take out metals or retire the en-
gines until the workers demands for
increased pay and recognition of the
union have been complied with.

OUTLOOK IS EXCELLENT
For Ocala to Maintain the First Class
Football Record Made by Her
Team Last Season

Prospects for a winning football
| team this winter are growing brighter
every day. owing TO the increasing
number of new men coming out. Ow-
ing TO three Of our boys graduating
last year, there are three big holes to
NIL, namely: center, quarterback and
left half Men to take the place OF l.
Anderson. Burford and Newsom will
! be hard to find. Last years team had
| been playing together for two years
and nothing in their class could with
stand them. The following record Of
the games last year will show the
strength of the team:
Scrubs, 0; Ocala. 3.
Orlando, 0; Ocala. A..
Tampa. o; Ocala. Is
Fla. Military Academy, 0; Ocala, 81
Scrubs 0; Ocala. II.
Tampa, o; Oca4a, 0.
BY not being scored on or losing
single game they created a record to
be proud Of.
OF the men returning this year, we
have Zewadski, Clarkson, p. Ander-
son, Woods, Bullock Camp. Flecken-
stein and Davis. New men like Gallo
way. DeCamp, Smith and Blalock give
every evidence of showing up TO good
advantage.
No better ends than CIarkson and
Zewadski can be found. either on de-
Tense or offense, as no team made over
ten yards on any play last year. An
derson and Woods have proved them
selves the equals OF any two tackles
they have encountered so far. though
they will have to work a good deal
harder this season as the main point
OF attack will follow them. Camp and
Bullock need not be mentioned for
their work has proven what they are
capable Of. They were the bulwark
of the 1911 champions. no one being
able to move them an inch. Flecken-
stein on his end runs showed to par
ticular advantage. because OF their
consistency. No team encountered was
proof against them. And last but not
least comes our captain of 1910 and
1911. "Dink' Davis. He is the origina-
tor of this eleven and has worked and
kept the team together.
With these players as nucleus
Ocala ought to put out as good or
better team than last season. All they
need is good support from the people,
and games will be played and won
that Will open the eyes OF the whole
state.
Davis viii be back in his same old
place, as fullback. and as his work
in the two past seasons was among
the best, you will no doubt see some
fast playing from him.
Mr.. Henry Spencer. with the south
ern Phosphate Company of this city
and Yale man. has consented to
coach the team and from him the boys
will receive excellent ideas and in
struCtion.
Under the new rules the game will
remain an open one. the heavy mass
plays having gone for good. Four
downs are allowed to make the allot-
ed ten yards in. instead of three as
formerly. The field has been short
ened ten yards and a general shake up
has been given the rules which point
to and indicate a better and cleaner
game with a smaller danger OF being
injured. Brainy and clever work is
taking the place of pure brute force.
giving the light man as many chances
as the heavy one All things being
taken into consideration. all indica-
tions point to a better game this year
than ever before.
