ARMY DEFENSE STRONG.
Rutgers Make No Progress and
Loses, 10 to O.

WEST POINT. n. Y. October IA
The Army defense proved too strong for
Rutgers backs to penetrate. and the ca
diets defeated the visitors by a score of
IS to 0 today. Twice a tumble placed
Rutgers within walking distance of the
Army goal, but in one instance drop
kick by Archibald went wrong. and in
the other case a forward pass came to
grief in Pritchard's arms after the visit
ors had made first down on the Army
15-yard line. The Army scored one drop
kick and a placement goal from scrim-
mage and two touchdowns after carrying
the ball half the length of the field.

proximity.
Virginia's touchdown came in the sec
ond quarter, when Wood broke through
Swarthmore's interference and blocked
a kick, Voolfolk recovering the ball be-
hind the goal post Davidson kicked
the goal.
Swarthmore's first score came after
a series of forward passes, two sue
cessive end runs by Cline and the only
successful line plunging during the en-
tire game. The visitors had the for
ward pass down to perfection, and re-
sorted to it successfully at least twenty
times during the game Virginia also
used the pass to advantage, but gained
more territory through the exceptional
speed of the forwards in going down
the field under punts and recovering the
ball.
The game was probably a costly one
for Swarthmore, for Quarterback Nc
Kissock was taken to the University
Hospital. where it was thought that he
had fractured his collarbone.

just enough men reaching the bases to
keep the crowd on edge.

Today's attendance was undoubtedly
the largest that ever witnessed a ball
game in New York. but the early re-
ports that the Polo grounds would be
able to accommodate in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 was, of course, eXag-
gerated. The chances are that with
paid admissions and passes counted
that there were not over 10000 people
in the Enclosure today and that is un-
doubtedly the record.

Frank Baker had quite little piece

when Snodgrass stole third. Baker

bag, which endangers him. and Snod-

not believed that the injury will inter
