A C. C eleven re re- 1 10 0 to a proposed meeting of the eleven of that institution and that the of University It is doubtful it if the game will be arranged The foot-ball foot season is already really past past and our eleven has at least two games yet to play If the proposed game is arranged at all aU it cannot take place before December and probably not so soon Christmas Day Daj- has been in the past a popular day for playing but the season has gradually become shorter so there may be some un unwillingness willingness to play on the part of pf our men I It t is to be hoped however that these elevens will meet before the close of this season What have ha become of the elevens from All Hallows the L. L D. D S. S College and the Collegiate Institute We have heard nothing of them for some time and are almost forced to believe believe believe be be- lieve that having been defeated in their first engagement they have become discouraged discouraged discouraged dis dis- and deserted their practice- practice fields We trust this this is not so for they all made excellent showings in their in individual individual individual in- in meetings A game between AllHallows AllHallows AllHallows All- All Hallows and the Collegiate Institute would be doubtless a close one and it itis itis itis is our belief that the L. L D. D S. S and Coll Collegiate Collegiate Col Col- l Institute elevens would put up a good game We hope to hear from them soon The High School boys are still of the opinion that the University Juniors are areno areno areno no match for them and we understand they are very anxious for another trial The Juniors are not at all averse averse- to meeting them again and indeed indeed the sentiment seems to be in favor of it Let the boys come together say we for fora a third and last contest We predict it would be the best hest game of the season between en second teams and also predict victory for the Juniors Both teams are quite scientific their weights are very nearly the same the friendly animos animosity ty between them is gr great at and Q what more more more- c could ld one ask ask as prospect for for a fine battle Ray Savage is certainly certainly- a young gentlemen of admirable spirit and bound to be one of the greatest medical men of the coming generation A person person person per per- son who stands out in the cold for an hour and a half administering to the multifarious wants of foot ball players while in active s service is certainly to tobe tobe tobe be commended When in a few years the U.
