er John Maddock wants all players
to be present at thoraffair as say.
ersl important matters will be dis.
cussed. The Owls closed a very
. successful season. both from the
standpoint of finances and the
number of games won. This was
Maddcck's firdi year at the helm of
the Owls and he did well considering
the vast amount of work that he
had to do. A new field was obtain-
ed. new uniforms purchased. the
coach resigned towards the latter
part of the season and the team
was handicapped with injuries to the
players. none of which were of a
serious nature. .
The Owls had about 25 men on
their roster at various times dur-
ing the season. All these players are
invited to attend the banquet. Man-
ager Maddock is preparing a fine
evening's entertainment. Profession-
al entertainers from Bridgeport will
be present besides a first class or-
chestra. Sewrai short speeches will
be made by the players and fans. It
is estimated that 70 will be present
at this festival. Harry O'Connell.
