The Manchester United Football Club defeated the University soccer team at Manchester, N. H., last Saturday afternoon, by a score of 4 to 1. This was the University team's fourth consecutive defeat, and its work was hardly encouraging, although the Manchester team is a thoroughly experienced combination. The University forwards still lack team-work, and most of the men seem unable to shoot accurately near their opponents' goal. In the next few days these faults must be corrected, and great improvement in every department of play must be shown, if Harvard is to be at all successful in the remaining games of the intercollegiate series.

Manchester scored in about fifteen minutes of play; and almost immediately afterwards Needham made the only goal for the University. Manchester scored twice again in the first half, but in the second the University team braced and played better football. Hallowell was responsible for Manchester's fourth tally, kicking the ball by mistake into his own goal. Blair, Rushmore, Sibley, and Weston played well for Harvard, and Davison starred for Manchester.

The summary: HARVARD.  MANCHESTER. Sibley, g.  g., Hatton Blair, r.f.b.  l.f.b., F. McKewin Rushmore, l.f.b.  r.f.b., Cunion Weston, r.h.b.  l.h.b., D.
