foI n the history Of the game To-
caIly have tie fans been given the
opportunity TO see such an aggre-
cation Of world famed stars in one
lineup. They have read and re-
read numerous articles about these
players when the latter were star
ring en- college. university and ser
vice teams. This is chance to
see them play.
The fact that It will be Ham
mOuas first and last appearance

itself attract thousands to the gate.

to them 10 turn out and indicate
whether it is feasible to bring 9TH

football outside OF college. VIII
he put up as equally good game as
will be expected Of the famed
Overbaugh OF Brown, recognized
as one Of the premier field gen

Islander bugs contend that the
spectacular, but steady Rube will
come up TO all expectations and
prove that a man can learn to play
this great game without the ad-
vantage of college coaching.
Watch Chicken Go.
Here Will be the big opportunity
to compare Fred Chickens line
plunging with that of King of Har-
ward. Chick has never been
stopped by any line; can he per-
form as well against such oppos-
ing forwards as Blackjack and
Keefe of Notre Dame? How far
will King be able to navigate to-
wards goal through such men as
Lyle and Buland?
The name of Des Jardiens, cen
ter. is familiar to everyone here
abouts. This big fellow gained a
national reputation while a stu
dent at the University of Chicago.
Robh is shorter and lighter, but
everyone looks for him TO at least
hold the huge Des Jardiens to an
even break.

10th Century band on hand for the
occasion. This organization adds
pomp and splendOr at every ap-

about it. But lively music, the
very latest in Jazz, VIII swell forth
on tho suappy breeze. Reinerts
