very disagreeable for the spectators, but
a large crowd witnessed the game.

with ribbons and cheering on their favor

one, and one of the noticeable features

teams. Newton used the Pennsylvania
system exclusively, while Paramount used
a more open form of play. These teams
met once during the early part Of the

resulted in 0 to 0. Yesterdays game was
a much harder one, and the score of 6
TO 0 proves Fairmount's supremacy. The
Paramount men are proud of their victory

game was Fairmounts goal in danger,
and with only two exceptions the game
was played entirely in Newton's territory
