Kippars Start Season With Victory Sunday at the College.

Coach Harry Parker and Captain Hugh Kirk started the athletic football season with a victory, defeating St. Joseph’s college Sunday afternoon at the college by the score of 9 to 3. It was a nice game, the relations between the teams being friendly and the contest was a test of athletic prow ress without any bitterness such as characterized the game last year. The local team outweighed the college boys but was at the disadvantage of not having all been together before and part of them did not even know the signals. Captain Kirk found himself surrounded with a willing team and the game indicated the possibility of a first-class athletic team. No further games have been positively scheduled, although game will probably be played with Bronson Hall, of Notre Dame university, on Thanksgiving day, and several Sunday games intervening if they can be scheduled.
