Rough Game, in Which Pen
alties Are Heavy, Ends
n Two Touchdowns
Apiece.

Syracuse, Nov. Rutgers and Syr-
acuse, equals in weight, Drawn and eX-
rerience, fought to a Il 20 II tie IN
their football game in the Syracuse
University Stadium this afternoon.
The result, a thorough surprise to the
Orange athletes and their supporters
was looked upon as a fortunate one
for the Orange by hundreds OF the
5000 fans who witnessed the con-
test.
Syracuse was outplayed from the
outset. The team was not IN the good
form shown against teams earlier TINS
season. ana 10 only two things can lts
ability to hold the score tie be at
tributed. Rutgers fumbled twice after
bringing the pigskin to within
shadow Of the goal line. SecohuIy,
the Syracuse interference, tho only
feature of their former game whlch
was maintained, was perfect.
Perhaps one thing worked havoc
with the Orange chances OF success.
They lost more than 1870 yards IN pen
alties. and on several occasions Nhe"
scoring seemed possible an oihclai rul-
ing removed the ball fronm the danger
