The school teams that come here to play our class elevens ought certainly to be given a fair chance and they have a right to expect a clear field.
There are no ropes around the field where the elevens play and whenever there is any game the crowd pushes in upon the players so that it is hard for them to hear the signals, and absolutely impossible to make a play around the end without dodging through the bystanders...
All candidates for the team be on Soldiers Field at 3.30 sharp. This is the last week before the class series and in order to make a good showing, enough men must come out every day for two elevens to be formed.
In the beginning of the second half the two elevens lined up first on the 25 yard line from which Fairchild tried to kick goals from the field. Fairchild then went to one end of the field where he practiced kicking goals. Borden held the ball.
The ninety-eight football team went through some sharp practice yesterday afternoon. After passing and falling on the ball, the two elevens lined up for a short game. Wheeler, Woodward and Captain Rice did the coaching. The men played hard and with snap.
