The advisory board of the American Football association will hold a special meeting in Newark this evening to decide when and where the final game for the American Cup competition shall be played. Bethlehem steel company and Scottish-American, of Newark are the two finalists. Scottish-American won the American Cup competition last season and is composed entirely of American born boys. Their playing this year has been of the sensational order and they have defeated more experienced teams by their speed and aggressiveness. Efforts are being made by the Bethlehem Steel company athletic committee to have this game played on Lehigh University field.
