THE HIGGINSVlLLE GAME.
N. V. C. Won In a Fine Game and Close
Contest.

The foot ball game at Hlgginsyille
Monday between w. NJ. A., OF LexlDg-
ton, and NJ. V. c., of Marshall, was
won by Marshall. Score, 6 to 0.
1t was a splendid game from start
to finish and up until five minutes OF
the close Of the last half neither team
had scored point. At that juncture
w. NJ A. had the ball and was
advancing it steadily from the middle
of the field and when within fifteen
yards OF the goal Marshall secured the
ball on a tumble. By succession OF
end plays M. V. c. carried the ball
across the field for touch down and
kicked goal. 1t is fair to Wentworth
to state just here that Sturges, who had
been playing end for W. NJ. A., was
unable to end the game on account OF
sickness and his place was filled by a
cadet of little practice.
W. N. A. was accompanied TO Hig-

near 200 roo.ers. Marshall Travelled to

removed from Palmyra, Mo-, to this
city; aud also the names of those who
composed the regular college classes

From this you will see that nearly all
of them have passed away, leaving be-
hind them one here and one there to
cherish their memory and in fancy to
