BANQUET PROMISES TO BE AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

At the time of going to press but three or four tickets to the banquet to be tendered the members of the local football team by the football fans at the Barns restaurant at eight-thirty o’clock this Thursday evening had been disposed of, according to those in charge of the ticket sale. Anyone desiring to attend the banquet and who has not yet made arrangements to do so, should get in touch with Mr. Barnes and arrangements will be made to care for those who decide to attend at the last minute.

The committee urge that all who have purchased tickets be present as the success of the banquet depends upon a full attendance* Plans for next year’s team are to be discussed and the foundation laid for a football organisation that will permit the launching of the game on a greater scale than ever before in the history of the city, and this cannot be done unless there is a good representation of substantial citizens present.. The banquet is not being given as a money making proposition, but simply to express to the members of the team' an appreciation of their services ■during the season just brought to a close, and for the purpose of creating further interest among the fans. 9 Those who will attend the ban-quet-are invited to gather at the Van* Rensselaer club room before going to the restaurant. Following the banquet, the club rooms will again be thrown open and a smoker held, to which all are invited.
