  Bethany, With Two WI utes to Play, Beats Rutgers, l4–⁠7 NEW BRUNSWICK, II. j.. Oct. 21-- Bethany proved itself at Nelson Field to-day as eleven men who didn’t know how to lose. With less than two min utes left to play and trailing Foster Sandofrd’s big scarlet Rutgers team 6 to 7, the 2o0-pound six-foct giants of the | Bethany line fattened the Rutgers for | wards, broke through and blocked a Rutgers punt behind the goal line for safety and the winning two points. Then, not to be outdone by their line mates, the Bethany backfeld, with , something less than q minute left, snatched up the ball after countless fumbles by Rutgers and ploughed through for an extra touchdown Just for good measure. The score was ID to Z. In Loppacker ard Kelly, the lodging slippery halfbacks, and in Granil, who plunges and surges through line like a British army tank, Bethany gave the crowd Of close to 5000 something Of the same thrills one Bo Mcmillan and one Red Roberts produced three autumns ago. 1t would seem that real football players are being developed | down there in the highlands of the Appalachians. Bethany played Rutgers off it’s feet Today beyond any question, yet that ! important element of this seasons football-the point after touchdown point which Bethany missed in the second period, almost cost the far bet ter team the game. Rutgers demon. strated it’s famed attack only once. And that was when the touchdown wss scored in the second period after series OF rushes from midfield, Other wise Bethany had the ball racticallv all the time and in Rutgers territorv twice bringing it to the Rutgers one, half-yard line, when the Scarlet stiff ened and held for downs. However II must be said that Rutgers was badly crippled to-day. With patched no backfield, due to injuries, with no punter who could kick thirty yards, and with the loss Of Captain Raub during ened.
