An exciting game of foot-ball was played yesterday afternoon between the Cambridge and Boston Latin Schools. The game was doubly interesting as deciding virtually the cup of the interscholastic league. About one hundred and fifty men from Cambridge when out to support the team.
The game was called at 3.30, Cambridge having the ball. It went to Boston, however, on four downs. During the first half of the game neither side scored, and the ball was kept for the most part in the center of the field.
At the beginning of the second half Cambridge rallied. Boston soon lost the ball and by a series of brilliant rushes Cambridge carried it well down towards Boston's goal. Corbett made a good run and later kicked a goal from his own touchdown. The work of Cambridge in the second half was excellent, particularly that of Corbett and Broter.
