...Rink, New York, on Saturday night by a score of 4 goals to 3, thus winning the intercollegiate championship for the second consecutive year, and gaining permanent possession of the St. Nicholas Cup, and also possession, for one year, of the Stoddard and Ceballos cups.

In the second half the team again showed its great fault of last year in losing the ball after carrying it almost to the goal line. In this instance, however, it scored a safety by breaking through and taking advantage of a fumbled pass behind the goal...
