feated by a score of % to 2. 1t was
a splendid exhibition of football, not
withstanding the one-sided score.
the cadets are fighters and they 7ev-
er displayed their fighting ability to
better advantage thar they did in the
game yesterday. Tna the soldier
boys did not make a touchdown
against the varsity was not because
they did not try. 1t was just a case
of Drawn and pluck and a fair knowl-
edge of the game on the part of the
military men against the brawn, pluck
and expert knowledge of rugby on
the part of tire varsity. The U. N. NJ.
BOYS made one touchdown in the first
half, three in the last nalf, kicked
goal three times. mad two safetiW
and kicked a goal from the field, all
of which Melted them twenty eight
points. The soldiers were successful
only in making n safety in the last

which Melted them two points.
