The New Jersey Athletic Club received
another defeat Saturday in a game of
football. 1t was their second contest and
the same number Of defeats. The team
lined up against the Manhattan College
team at the Manhattan Oval before a
crowd Of over 500 people. The New Jer-
seys were handicapped by the poor con-
dition of the ground. They played a
very strong game and are improving all
the while. TIL Manhattans are a clever
team and play a fast. snappy game. The
New Jerseys are weak in the line and
the greatest gains were made through it.
The team is all right back of the line
and their men are good ground gamers.
The Manhattans had the advantage in
weight and practice, which perfected the
men in team work. New Jersey kicked
off and by fine interference Callahan
ran back Is yards into the New Jerseys
territory. Giennon and O'Connor made
substantial gains and the ball was car
ried to the centre Of the field. where it
went to the New Jerseys in downs, but
soon lost 1t on a tumble, which was one
Of the poor features of the N. ]. A G.
game. McQuade got through the line for
twenty yards for Manhattan and Glennon
worked his way through for ten more
before he was tackled. In the next line
up the bail was passed to O'Connor, who
got around the end for the first touch
down, which resulted in a goal by Glen
non also. On the kick off in the second
half by Manhattan, Barclay made one of
the best runs of the day. He wriggled
through the players for Is yards before
he was stopped. An unfortunate inter-
probation of the signal in the next snap
enabled the Manhattans TO get the ball.
McQuade tried twice to break the centre,
but failed. On the third trial. however,
he got around Ackers' ends for a run of
20 yards. planting the bali on the New
Jerseys five yard line, from which Glen
non on the next signal was pushed over
the line for the second touchdown, which.
fell short of the goal, and soon after this
the game ended with 10 points to 0, The

Stevens Institute team and the Y. NJ.
c. A. of Orange lined up on Saturday
on the ST. George Cricket Ground in the
presence of a limited number of spec
tators. The contest was full Of excite
ment and was won by the visitors be-
| cause of better team work and more
experience in drilling. The stevens team
had the heavier players. but their line
was broken repeatedly, and unless some
thing is done to strengthen it Stevens
will fare badly this season in its com

even to make a favorable showing. The
\. NJ. c. A. would have rolled up a much
larger score but for a number Of bad
