Preparations for the big game De-
tween the Hcnrys and the North Ends
Sunday have been very scant. While
both teams are praceicing hard FOR the
contest. it is doubtful as to just wher"
the game will h. played. Last Sunday
| the Hcnrys jpurneyed 70 Martin. Ferry
and met the North Ends on their home
lot, losing by the score Of 1910 in y
| very hotty contested battle in which
thonorS were about even. save that the
I Ohioans had the edge on the forward
/ pass and used 1t to perfection. this alone
! spelling defeat for the pluehy local out
! fit Being the first of a three game
; series. il is the Ferrians' turn to come
! TO Whe -,s but IT seems that the over

f! command Il large crowd. but the people

would II it were staged in an enclosed
J park. The Henrys arc willing TO play
the Ferrians 1T Bcllaire. and It is a
safe bet that q large crowd would doubt
less attend. rs il would be neutral
grounds and the only game in tho Ohio
valley. II Ferry refuses to play at
Brllafre. the locals will play them in
their back yard again. as IL is the In
tentinn Of the local club TO get another
crack at the speedy over the river con-
tained.s Ferry has not bean beaten in
four seasons. and lays claim to the am
ateur title of this district. That the
Henrys have a team Of mention can be
easily explained by The Two Victories
over the Paulls. the lattnr club IN turn
playing the North Ends two scoreless
ties.
Perhaps no other game this season
would be moro largely attended. az the |
teams appear the class Of tho stars OF |
this section. and their meeting once |
again will make things all the more IN |
terestinS. T. Is 20 be hoped that Ferry !
does not backdoyTn and refuse TO play. as !
It would moan much tax ind would not |
do thu amateur season Justice. In !
most respects the amateur season has !
hem far more successful than the scho-
laS.ic. Late last evening tho Henrys
agreed TO meet the North Ends at Mar
tins Ferry. where the game will be
played.
