r,HE remarkable growth of indcpcnd-
l. cnt football in the vicinity of Phila-
delpha Is becoming more evident every
week when the leading teams clash
Last Saturday more than 10000 spec
tators gathered around Crystal Field
at Holmesburg to see this team wrcst
the city championship from Consho-
hockpn. The week before IIolmesburg
drew more than 10000 people. This
coming Saturday it is likely that the
phillics' ball park will be packed to
capacity for the. first time since the
final game of the worlds series in 1915.
The Pennsylvania football team will
be in New York playing Columbia. Con-
Scqucntly there will be little opposition
for the Holmesburg and PhoeniXvilc
clevens.
These two powerful elevcns. which
boast of some of the greatest former
college football players in America. will
play for the championship of eastern
Pennsylvania at Broad and Huntington
streets, beginning at 2:30 p. III. on Sat
urday.
Although the Holmcsburg team is
made up Of n galaxy of gridiron lumi
narics, the hackers of the PhoeniXvillc
eleven are betting even money that their
term will not be scored upon. in spite of
the fact that Charley McGuckin. the
ex-Nillanova player. will oppose the up
state men. Last Saturday McGuckin
demonstrated that he is just as accurate
in his drop kicking as ever. He drove
the oval through the uprights twice for
the only six points scored in the Holmes
burg -COnshohocken game.
All.American Stars
The spectators who witness next Sat
urday's game will see five All American
players in action. These are Hcinic
Miller. Lud Wray and Lou Little, of
Pennsylvania Weldon, of LAFAYETTE.
and Anderson. Of Colgate. This quintet
alone, playing on the team. is enough
to draw huge crowd of football fans
out to the PhillicS' park. But they are
not the only men who will be worth
watching. Phocnixvillc also has on it's
roster Taggart, Union: McHugh Union I;
Earl POtteigcr. Lebanon Valley: Calvin
Bourton. Union; Gillespie. Princeton
McKeone, Pcrkiomcn Seminary: Hcrt :
eel, Union: McCarty, Lchigh: Spagna.
Ichigh Beckett. South Carolina; Van
Ramon. Union; McNally. Union. and
Hobcy Light, of Pennsylvania.
The Union Club of PhocniXvillc, which
supports both football and baseball
team, was organized in 1906. Until this
year the Union Club has been strictly
amateur, but because the rivals of phor-
niXville branched out and began getting
professionals. Union was forced to do the
same thing. They have always had win =
ming teams and this year is no cxccp ..
tiOn.
