Stevens ROuts
N.Y.U.; Keeps
Slate Clean
Local Players First to Score,
but Lose After Stub.
born Fight by "a to 3

walked right into TIE ONO fteld lair
of New York University yesterday aft
ernoon and smeared the Gotham lads
by q score of "a to 3.
There was little consolation for me
N. Y. o., 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 beer
counted against Stevens came from
safety.
Judged purely on the merits - play
az developed yesterday afternoon New
York University was lucky 10 come

the better. II was the heavier OF tho
two by far. but suffered none IA speed
