From the start the victors played
with q vim that surprised the local
supporters of the Hudsons. The field
was muddy In spots and frozen In
other places. and 1t was anything but
an ideal field for a game. Wright,
after twenty minutes. broke through
the West Hudson barrier and booted
the ball between the posts for the
first goal of the game. The Hudsons
had two or three chances to do some
scoring. but the luck was against
them.
The vicious attack of the victors,
backed up by the strong wind, enabled
them to attack the Hudson goal re-
peatedly. Once Lakely at goal slid

eluded the Hudsons and showed in an
other counter.
Hudsons Worried.
