The Globe -- South Bethlehem
February 5, 1917
BETHLEHEM WINS IN THE THIRD ROUND
Champion Soccer Team Eliminates West Hudson in National Cup Match, 3-0.

Newark, Feb. 5 -- The Bethlehem soccer team, holder of the two most important cups in this country, defeated yesterday West Hudson, former national champion, by a score of 3-0, in the third round for the challenge trophy of the United States Football Association.

Thirty-five hundred persons saw the triumph of the champion. The ground was lumpy in spots, causing the ball to make frequent erratic bounds, which the players misjudged. It was a well fought match, however, neither side tallying in the first half.
