After consid- erable delay decision was given ' by the otherwise' impartial- referee • which caused some surprise at lea.et to Clin- ton sepporte-rs. No substitute could be found • 'for the injured student, *nigh oa their own grounds and in .consequence one of the Clinton team was • retired and the gams. finished with a man short on both sides. At the end of half time the score Mood to o in favor of Clinton.

Much of the credit of this wells narked victory is due to the efforts of the captain of the club, leut of course ilia fellow students , whether members of the team or not rendered hisn will - leg assistance, On the field it is bit - possible to gingle out any oise player as sepetior to the others except, per. haps Baird Whose play throughout was strong, accurate atid aggressive. The valise of the trophy May be judged front the' fact that security to the amount of one hundred and fifty dollars must be given for its safe keeping before it comes into the heeds of the holders.
