Rochester City Moose pulled off a mild upset, knocking off the home
side Goodyear F.C. with a 2-1 win to advance to the quarterfinals.
Just eight minutes into the game, Rochester took the lead, on a goal
from W. Dagger. Goodyear pressured Rochester, but the Moose defense
held firm. Rochester struck again at the thirty minute mark, as R. Doodson
connected on a shot that Goodyear goalkeeper Jones had no chance to
save. Midway through the second half, Goodyear finally found the net
through a goal from J. Kennedy, but Rochester held the Akron club at
bay the rest of the way.

swept perennial cup favorites Fall River Rovers out of the competition, with
a decisive 4-0 victory at Todd Field in Brooklyn. Fall River started the match
as the aggressor, but failed to produce a goal. At the twenty five minute mark,
Harry Ratican, a cup winner with Bethlehem Steel the past two seasons, scored
two quick goals to give Robins the advantage. Five minutes from the break,

the final goal, eluding two defenders down the wing and besting Fall River goalkeeper
Francis Higgins with a wonderful shot.
