great game between the University Of
Mexico and sewantee in Mexico City
on November 16.
The bid is signed by the President
Of the Republica, Portes Gil, and Is
supplemented by resounding Mexican
names. Which, for one thing, indicates
that foot ball in Mexico is going to be
launched with whoop not to say a
barrage of "vivas."
DR.. O'Brien recognizes, of course, the
signal nature of the compliment, re-
CARDS 1t as the ultimate recognition of
q long and honored career on the foot
ball gridiron. None the less, he is in
doubt. You see he has been named
as referee of the Yale Princeton game
which falls on November Is, at New
Haven. And this, considering the
classic character of game which has
been in progress annually for 81 years,
Is o compliment, too.
The situation for the surgeon is
complicated, too, by the fact that exi-
gencies OF his profession make 1t seem
necessary that this year be his last as
o foot ball official. Whether to make
the Yale-Princeton game his swan song,
or the international contest in Mexico
City, Is q problem he has not yet solved.
