of New York University yesterday aft
ernoon and smeared the Gotham lads
by q score of "a to 3.
There was little consolation for 'hs
N. Y. U., aside for the fact that they
lost to a team that had not suffered
defeat in four years snd that thry
were first to register what might be
considered a legitimate score agalns,
Stevens this year. Prior 10 yesterdays
game the only points that had bssp
counted against Stevens came from
safety.
Judged purely on the merits - play
