INTER=HOUSE FOOTBALL

TOMORROW’S GAME AT MEMORIAL PARK.

The annual football match between the "Woolly Hoggetts" and the "Takers” (cash takers, costs takers, tooth takers, and thief takers) will call for the attendance of the public tomorrow afternoon at the Memorial Park when very bright patches of Rugby will be seen. the spectators being specially asked to observe the "Boston Crabs." "Body Slams" and "Verbal Jolts" which will take place while the referee is wiping the mud from his vision. When the halftime whistle goes the call will go out for a muster of the old timers, including the "Montague Normans," the "Devil's Own” and the "Ex-Tractors," who will join in a trial of speed once round the football ground. There will be no less than 25 starters. Competitors must not breathe too deeply, push each other over or "detour" from the course. As a number of them are trained to the last second the public are asked not to breathe smile or sleep during the race, so that none of the well trained will be put out of their stride. After the race Bob and Henry will adjourn to crack the old chestnuts, and will leave it to the "Jury" to decide another issue as to whether it is "Bill White” . or “Black and White." Later they will all meet in solemn conclave.
