The viking A. C. eleven gose to Newark
today to line up against the Invincibles
on the ~latter's gridiron. The Viking team
knows no reason at present why the name
borne by the Newark eleven should not
prove misplaced in the battle today. The
I%nvincibles are a strong hardy lot of boys
and know the game all the way to the
finish, but the Viking team has shown
great speed and has been very successful
against teams that have as good reputa-
ton as the Invincibies. The game will be
an interesting one and will be played by
