  • [start clipping] Football Starts Tomorrow. Sam Manson With the 207th --- First Clash of Season Takes Place at Lansdowne Park. --- Should the weather conditions be good, a smashing crowd of football fans will turn out to witness the opening game of the Overseas Football League on Lansdowne Park tomorrow. The addition of Captain Sammy Manson, Canada's premier centre half, should not only prove a strong drawing card, but will boost the 207th stock greatly. Manson is taking a course at the School of Musketry, Rockcliffe, and will therefore be eligible to play with the local battalion. Coach Shaughnessy had a full turnout at yesterday's practice, all the regulars being in uniform, as well as a good squad of subs. The first team was given considerable work on their trick plays. Later, the back division was sent behind the scrub line. The half line is working well together and should cut a big figure in Saturday's battle. Yesterday's workout was one of the best held so far. "Shag" is going ot have aline that has lots of "pep" and aggressiveness, and should they be successful against Queens, will make the famous Tiger Battalion go some to get the verdict. Very little is known about the University team, except that they will have Jack Hazlett on their half line, but the local squad had better be prepared for a stiff struggle, as the Presbyterians have always had a strong team, and will make a big effort to down the 207th in their own bailiwick. Although Coach Shaughnessy has not announced his line up for tomorrow's game it will likely be as follows: Smith, flying wing; Kirby, Manson, and Breen, halves; Wiser, quarter; scrimmage, Allen, Westmin, McInnes or Harvey; insides, McElligott and Pritchard; middles, Davies, Stalker or Kennedy; outsides, Taylor, Robbins, or Adams. Lieut.-General Sir Sam Hughes [end column] [start column] has been invited to kick the ball off, and will likely accept. The officials will be: referee, "Silver" Quilty; umpire, Jack Lewis; penalty timekeeper, Harry Ackland; linesmen, Eddie Roberts and Lieut. McKenzie of 205th, Hamilton. Seats for tomorrow's game are on sale at Hurd and Co.'s sporting goods store, and will be kept there until noon tomorrow. Joe Smith, who will work at flying wing, has recovered from the injury to his back,a nd will be in good shape for tomorrow's game. "Dug" Stalker is a greatly improved football player and should be very much in the limelight. Both the brass and bugle bands will be on hand to help things along. Keep your lamps on this boy Breen, tomorrow, he should prove a star. There will be three men on the yard sticks, one on each stick, and an arbitrator, to do away with all arguments. Davies, Stalker, Adams, McElligott and others, make it look like an Interprovincial game. Play will start at 2.45 sharp as darkness falls early. [end clipping]
