The Edward Little High school

sachusetts trip and has disbanded
The season has been a most unsuccess-
full one. as out of eight games played

ball game on Maplewood park this |
afternoon. when U. of NJ. and Tufts |

can be said of, L. of NJ, The Tufts
games SO far have resulted as. follows:
n. II. State. 4: Tufts, 0. West Point.
l2: Tufts, 0. Cornell. 81; Tufts. 0.
Worcester P1, Il; Tufts, 0. Holy

Of VT, s. Tufts. %; Springfield.
T. S., 10. While the record Of the team
from College Hill is not particularly
brilliant its showing against the fast
teams has been fairly good and there
is no doubt but what L. of NJ. will have
to play good football to win.
