...game, turn out to be very fine players from the prace ice they get in these contests, and the exercise they afford to all is invaluable. That this interest may not be allowed to lag, but rather may be encouraged as much as possible in the future, we would suggest to the football management that a series of amateur matches be instituted and a set of cups be offered for the winners. We make the suggestion now, that, if the plan be considered worthy of trial, what few measures are necessary may be taken when the time of the manager...
