II Is for the honor Of taking part in
this series that all teams have worked
hard all season For those who have
followed soccer Al Is needless to say
that this will be most bitterly con-
tested game, more so even than the
Memphis-St Louis affair, which Is to
come later, both because Of the great
rivalry between these two teams and
because the winner Of the Memphis
series will have the honor Of playing
the up-river champions for the Missis-
sippi valley championship.
Both seem certain OF victory with
the Y. NJ. l. youngsters leading in en-
thusiasm
The game will be test of local tai
ent pitted against older and more eX-
peTienced players. all OF whom have
elearned the game on other fields. The
Floyds boast Of many players who come
with enViabiC records from England and
Scotland Judging by the quality OF
the kicking game which they play they
do not belittle the reputation.
Yet It must be horne In mind that
the c. y. g. team, made up entirely OF
American born youngsters. held praC-
tically this same team in check for two
years until graduation, and the DeSotu
league wrecked their machine. II will
not surprise some II the younger and
better conditioned Y. NJ J. team should
slip over a win.
