Providence, November 25.-The game
between Brown and Wesleyan at Adelaide
park today resulted in a victory for

about 200 people.
Wesleyan was weakened behind the
line by the absence of Raymond and
Brown played with four substitutes.
Nevertheless the home team clearly out
classed the visitors. Wesleyan's best
gains were made through Browns line,
and during the second half the ball was
kept in the territory of the local colleg-
ians most of the time. Browns backs
made good gains and the masse formation
of the team also resulted in the distances
necessary. The Brown team, however,
was weak on the defensive and allowed
Wesleyan to get through its line oftener
than it should have done.
