WEST HUDSONS
SMOTHER II
BROOKLYNITES

The West Hudson soccer football ag-
gregation began the new year the
proper way by smothering the Brook
Ign F. c. in an exhibition game con-
tested on the Hudsons' stamping
grounds yesterday by a score of Z goals
to 1.
The visitors showed form for a short
time in the first half, but Rommell
broke the ice for West Hudson about
twenty minutes from the start by scor-
ing. TAFT duplicated the stunt before
the half ended.
The second period was a slaughter.
The Hudsons scored five times. Len
nox began 1t when play was resumed
with a neal hot and Owens, of the
Brooklyn team, contributed TO his
enemies score by heading into his own
goal in trying to clear. Knowles caught
the fever and slipped through the
Brooklyn defense and shot another
goal for the Hudsons. Had 1t not been
for a penalty kick which was turned
into a point by Brooklyn the visitors
would have been BANKED. TAFT scored
twice more for the Hudsons before the
game closed.
A decisive victory, 80, scored by the
West Hudsons over the Wherefore
team, of Paterson, in an American Cup
tie game, on the Harrison teams
grounds Sunday, put the Hudsons into
the semi-final round of the competition.
The only other game that could be
played resulted in another draw battle
between the Fore River Rovers and the
Howard and Bulloughs on Saturday at
Quincy, Mass. 1t was the second time
that these two teams drew. There
was some dispute Sunday when the
V,ilberforce eleven objected to a game
because of the unpropituous conditions
underfoot, but Referee D.. M. White, of
Brooklyn, whose judgment is final. or
dered the teams to play. The Wilber-
force team may protest, but it is i'm
probable that such action VIII avail
them the least. Inclement weather
prevented the other cup competition
contests.

go so far as to assert that easy though
the game may appear to expert drivers,
the opposition will be unable TO even

The method of playing the game Is
much the same as polo with ponies eA-

10 suit the circumstances. The referee
places leather ball in the middle OF the
field and fires a pistol to start the game
the opposing automobiles having taken
their positions at the respective goals

dead stop and race to the middle Oh
the field for the purpose of getting the
first whack at the ball.
II requires little imagination to appre-
ciate the possibilities of exciting mo-

thrilling that il is all the spectators can
do to sit still. Frequently they don't,
and jump to their feet and give vent to
their enthusiasm in the only way healthy
persons can. Upsets are common. locked
wheels are frequent, and bumps and
lolts constitute the chief excitement in
the latest motor game in sportdom.
