Splendid Game Played Yes terday Afternoon At Meadows By Chinese Stu dents.

Members of the Chinese Soccer team from Columbia University had several cards up their sleeves yester- day when they met the team selected from among the best soccer players of the city at the Meadows, and while they did not win they held the Bridge port experts to a 2-2 score in tie game. One of the biggest crowds ever witnessing a game in this city was present and cheered on the members of both teams.
 The Chinese team was much stronger than the local experts ex-- pected and they played excellent foot ball. The game was most hotly con- tested one from start to finish, and brought out fine play by the members of both teams. Time after time 1t seemed as if one team or the other would score, but always success was prevented by some bit of brilliant play from the opponents. Fine pass ing was one of the features of the play of both teams. Following is the line up of the teams: Bridgeport Stars. Au-Chnese. Calliss ................ W. Y. Chin
