The wilmington Football Associa-
ton will have approached to within
4, two games OF the completion OF its
schedule with the playing of the two
games on Saturday afternoon. Chief
= interest no doubt will center IN the
second clash between st. Mary and
Parkside at Harlan Field.
Parkside, II defeated viii in all
probability be out Of the running,
unless Seventh Ward should pull the
unexpected and defeat Defiance, but
this is highly improbable. A victory
for Defiance Saturday over the
Haughmen will give the KirlSwood
Park crew a chance TO tie Defiance
should they defeat the Tenth Ward
ers in the game Thanksgiving Day.
st Mary IS out TO revenge the
defeat handed out by Parkside sew
cal weeks ago and with both teams
at full strength a battle royal should
be the result. The Saints played
in much improved form last Satur-
day in their second game with De-
fiance and displaying the same
brand of football this week have an
excellent chance OF upsetting the
Evans machine.
The game will start at 2.so o'clock
and the management has announced
the former admission prices will
prevail.
With the Defiance Bulldogs and
Seventh Ward scheduled at Second
and dupont Saturday local fans will
have an opportunity Of witnessing
the possibility of the biggest battle
of the year scheduled on an open
lot.
The wearer Of the purple from out
the Tenth Ward way present an I'M
usual spectacle this year inasmuch
that they have thus far STAYED Off
defeat. Their unsmirched record IS
also featured by the fact that their
goal line has yet 20 have the I'm
preston OF rival foot prints trample
that sacred territory.
Thus the Tenth Ward speed mer-
chants have two OBJECTS in all their
game. To score on their opponents
and at the same time to keep their
goal line unscathed. On the 9TH
er hand their opponents view the
matter with direct contrast every
one wanting the honor Of scoring on
the Tenth Warders.
In the scoring respect Seventh
Ward will prove somewhat OF an OBJ
stacle Il might be mentioned that
although the Forty Acre crew has
yet 10 win a game in the Whining
ton Football Association they have
been shut out but once. the Bulldogs
performing the stunt in the opening
game OF the season. Since then
they have scored on their opponents. |
But the Ferguson crew IS also /
hooking at the game from another
angle. They claim they will also /
give the Tenth Warders their first !
defeat OF the year and Will present |
their strongest team on the field Sat
urday TO grapple with their West
Side rivals.
With Perry a colored star, they /
have strengthened their attack con-
eaderably. Teamed with Ferguson,
Neeson. Casey and strawbridge this
colored marvel gives them a back
field that ranks with the best on
paper.
During most OF the workouts this
week considerable time has been
given by the Seventh Warders TO the
forward passing game. Should
their attack against the crack De-
fance forwards fail It Is likely they
will shift to the aerial attack exclu-
sively in an effort TO break through
the Tenth Ward defense
The Bulldogs win enter the game
as II they were facing the leaders.
The carelessness that was noticed
IN the first quarters OF the St Mary
game will be missing as the Tenth
warders have learned the lesson of
overconfdence from that game.
The squed Is In fit condition all
the cripples being ready for action IN
this game. Thus when the Seventh
Warders face Defiance they will meet
with the strongest combination they
have faced this season.
Seventh Ward will workout to-
morrow night in preparation for the
game. all players being requested to
be at the club house at 7.8O o'clock.
Coach Welsh will send Defiance
through their drill tomorrow night
at the Third and Adams street
grounds at s o'clock.
