High School s; Rutgers Prep.O
The Jersey city High School team trav-
eled to New Brunswick yesterday, where
they met the Rutgers College Preparatory
School eleven on the college grounds.
There was a very large crowd on hand to
witness the sport. A large number Of
the Varsity men were on the side lines
and applause for the High Schools work
was often compelled cs chem.
Rutgers won the toss and gave the High
School the ball. The kick sent the ball
to Rutgers forty yard line, where Adams
got ii. He made ten yards when Herr
mann tackled him hard and sure. In
the first line up High School hit Rutgers
line before the ball was put in play and
Rutgers got ten yards for off side play.
The same thing occurred in the next line
UP, and Rutgers got ten yards more. Thus
the home team advanced the ball twenty
yards without a scrimmage. Rutgers then
made several good gains around the ends
and through Brensinger. The latter they
found weak and pounded continually. He
redeemed himself in the next play, how
ever. Van Weston got the ball and made
a big hole through which he pushed him
self and had a clear field TO work through.
Every one thought it was a touchdown
sure. Brensinger pulled himself together
and started after Van Weston. He nailed
him ~viciously on the High Schools ten
yard line. Rutgers made five yards on
] a centre rush and it looked bad for High
School. On the next rush High School
rallied. They held Rutgers and got the
ball on downs. Then the play actually
began. High School was desperate. Com
stock was given the ball and he struck
teeth ratified. The hole was made and
Comstock advanced twenty yards before
he was downedr With excellent interfer-
ence the High School worked along the
rest of the half and when time was called
the ball was in the centre of the field.
The result of the first half was a great
surprise to the home team, hut they were
confident of a victory before the game
was over.
In the second half Rutgers clicked off,
Comstock caught the ball and made ten
yards before he was downed- Comstock,
Faupel and Herman were worked
through the tackles and around left end
for splendid games. Faupel made a
splendid run of ten yards, cutting his
way, as it were, through the left tackle.
BY steady pushing High School got the
ball on Rutgers five yard line. From
there Herman ~ploughed his way through
a bunch Of Rutgers boys and scored the
only touchdown of the game. Faupel
kicked goal.
Up to this point High School never
gave their opponents time to breathe.
The touchdown was made eight minutes
after play began in the second half and
was so sudden and decisive that the
Rutgers team was astonished. They
looked in wonder on the High School
boys when their first breathing spell
came.
Darkness was now closing down, but
the game was continued. Rutgers kick
ed off and Herman got the ball, adj
vanced it about Is yards and was then
downed. High School pounded the line
hard. Rutgers was unable to stop their
onslaughts. The only thing that prevent
ed a second touchdown being the expir-
ing of time.
Efforts are now being made to secure
| a game with Princeton Props. This team
has beaten everything it has gone up
against and SO has High School. If the
two teams should come together, there
fore, an excellent game would be the re-
suit. The line-up Of yesterdays game
