Dartmouth Defeats Rutgers, D 10 70 ; ! HANOVER, N. H., Oct. 1S.- Dartmouth’s victory-starved In dams hit the war path for a 1920 triumph today over a winless Rutgers football squad that never was out of contention although it trailed from the fifth minute on. The Big Green victors built a 90 first-quarter edge that was the eventual winning margin, but over the last three quarters the scoring was even as Jack Jeffersunsung third string Rutgers quarterback-gave a nifty aerial exhibition. The Rutgers junior passer threw short scoring losses to End Russ Sandblom and his long slants moved the Queensmen within the Dartmouth 20-yard stripe often. He completed II Of 20 passes for 167 yards. Dartmouth amassed its victory edge on safety and a neat 49, yard I’D. aerial from Quarterback Jim Miller to End Dave Nc Laughlin. a combination that &C counted for another Big Green tally early in the third session.
