In the initial period OF the game Saturday the forward passing OF the Tufts eleven seemed 70 dazzle the New Brunswick machine, but before the conclusion of the struggle had been reached Rutgers decisiVely out classed their Massachusetts rivals in both open style and rushing game Rutgers outweighed her adversary by not few pounds TO nearly every man, and this gave them quite an adj vantage in this respect. Rutgers was the first 10 tally. the great Talman drop-kiclSng a field goal in the second period from the thirty yard line. A few moments after the kickoff Tufts was back, however, and two forward passes. one from Angel and Westcott which Melted them thirty-five yards soon put the leather within thirty yards of Rutgers posts. Here Standard. the clever left end OF the New England team, VAS given the ball on a direct delayed pass. and he evaded four Rutgers men in running for touch down.

Westcott, touted by many critics as one of The greatest backs in the game, was injured during the early part Of the contest and was forced to retire. Tufts surely missed his services, but IT was the consensus OF opinion that he was used too fire. quently While In action. Parks, the Tufts quarterback, starred in the open field. Angeles forward passing was spectacular, but his teammates failed 10 work with him during the final stages. Garrett and Nash, the Rmtgers guards, were demons on the defensive, and frequently broke through and spoiled the Tufts play In process OF execution. Talman worked well in interfering with several of Angels attempted forward passes. Captain Toohey, Of the jersey eleven, was also In on some good plays, az wss Seller and Wfttpenn.

The first melted gain Of twenty-five yards and PIT the ball on Rutgers 45-yard line. The second time Stanksrd fooled the whole Rutgers team, ard. getting the ball on similar play, rhced down the field for a touchdown. II was the only time the novel Tufts forward pass worked with anything like the anticipated success. Through the last Of the half Rutgers had the advantage. but could gain little, although it forced the fight in Tufts end of the field. In the opening period Of che second half. however, Rutgers developed the all-pOwerful attack which swept tufts of the field. Getting the ball OIL their own 46-yard line the Jerseymen forced their way right down the gridiron for a touchdown Bracher’s twenty-five yard run figured in this march, and il was brought TO its conclusion when the Tufts line failed to hold IN the shadow of its own goal post, and Seller crashed through.
