The foot ball team of the Nor
man Institute will play the Cy-
rene foot ball team at Cyrene
tomorrow afternoon (Saturday)
at 8 o’clock.
This will be the first game of
the season between the teams of
these two institutes and the
struggle for supremacy is ex
pected to be very interesting.
It is claimed for the Norman
Park boys that they are well up
on the game and are expected to
do some clever playing Saturday.
The Cyrene boys are young in
the way of practice, but they
have already developed into a
splendid team. The people here,
because of local county pride,
hope tor a victory for Cyrene.
A large crowd is expected to
go from Bainbridge to see the
game. Other towns and com
munities are expected to furnish
big crowds and altogether Cy-
reue hones for one of the biggest
crowds that day that was ever
seen in the place.
The new uniforms for Cyrene
are expected to arrive this week.
In the meantime they are put
ting on training all the time, get
ting ready to give the visitors an
interesting time when they come.
The Cyrene Institute invites all
wta can possibly do so, to se%
the game.
