Providence had won this season and the
score at the end was II TO Q. The game
was TO decide which team should trail
at the tail end Of the league n hence
the ferceness OF the struggle.

game occurred near the close OF the game,
when the home team had the ball only n
yard from Techs touchdown line, and a
Tech player attempted to take the ball
away from an East Providence player.
The umpire attempted 10 separate the
two players. but others mixed in and soon
the crowd took up the argument. Some
of tho cooler heads, however. succeeded
In restoring calm and the game was re-
sumed.
Both teams played hard, but the East
Providence players had much the better
of the contest, and gained almost at Will.
while Tech looked dangerous only at one
time, and this was very near the close OF
