FOOTBALL
“When the Lights Go On Again All Over the Field”
It was a sad disappointment last Thursday .evening when the evening football game between the Sewickley Yellow Jackets and tho Millvale Amici eonld not be. played because the flood lights contracted for failed to arrive'— just why, has not yet been made entirely clear. The large audience which had gathered will have another chance, however, tomorrow (Friday) evening to see that game1, since the lights are already in Sewickley, under lock and key, Coach Gibson says, and they will be in position for the start at S:00 p. m., as advertised. Chances are that the weather will be better' than last week, anyhow, and an even larger- audience will see the game.
The contest is a return engagement between the two clubs, Millvale winning tho first one on a very doubtful touchdown. Although. Millvale is undefeated, and the. .Yellow .Jackets have dropped two tqugh ones, the two clubs have been so close to "each other in tho year standings of the light-heavies division that this game was necessary to-prevent a tie at the end of the year. Both teams are in excellent condition, the Jackets having thrown oft' tiro heavy load of injuries that have stopped them the last two games and will threw everything they have to take the coveted crown.
