with the freshmen. The freshmen were outclassed from the beginning The ball was sent from one end of the field to the other, but the defense work put up by the junior guards kept the freshmen from making a single goal, and as fast as the junior guards would pass the pail to the forwards a goal would be the result The Juniors passed to each other in such way that the spectators could no doubt see that they knew something about the scientific part. of the game. The final score was "A to 0.
 The two winning teams of yesterday afternoon will no doubt tie up in the final run for the championship and great game is expected. as the two teams are equally matched.
