played with "never say die"
spirit, until the final whistle. No
cleaner game was ever played
Oh any field. The impartial rul-
ings of the officials, Messfs. Judd,
of Salem, and Bruce Burnett, of
this city, and their evident

the applause of the 500 specta-

worry future aspirants tor foot

the pace next season. Captain

every man on the team played
like a veteran.
