must ho given for the wonderful hght-
ing spirit and ability Of the kutgers
tcsr, 10 handle itself in the thick OF
battle For the greater part OF the
h~st pericd the Rutgers players were
NJ sea. and Tufts advanced dangerous
~ close to the Rutgers goal line OF
more than one occasion.
But overconfidence on the part OF
Tho Massachusetts, eleven after theE
had once scored and spirit that would
not admit defeat brought the DAY TO
glorious ending for the host OF kut-
gers supporters. IF.
BY ali the laws Of average luits
should have won the game rather cas-
ily, and probably the commence III
epjred by its showing against Harvard
week ago had damaging euecV Oh
its play yesterday.
The team lacked ability 70 punch its
Wav through mighty stiff Rutgers
line. and IL failed dismally, except on
two occasions, TO profit by the rather
intricatc forward pass FORMATION
which was devised for the especial
benefit Of the Harvard defence. Either
that. or Rutgers was wonderfully adept
IN solving this particular play. In
fact. Rutgers got the hang OF the
combination with such telling effect
that i'm the final period tic Rutgers
backs intercepted passes several times
snd turned the play into q verltaDie
boomerang.
Big Crowd Hard TO Handle.
Although Widenmsyer Park in point
of inaccessibility is next to Celtic
Park, there was q crowd Of LOOO or
5000 persons in the stands when the
whistle blew. There was a cheering
mass OF Rutgers undergraduates and
goodly collection of Tufts alumni.
When the triumph of the Rutgers
eleven became assured veritable bedlam
broke loose, and the undergraduates
had a wild celebration in about as IN
congruous q SPOT as one could choose
FOR a collegiate gathering.
As usual, the transportation faclh-
ties were more than slightly made
ouate. and the railroad officials ex-
planned by saying they had not expect
ed such a crowd. 1t was more than an
hour after the game was over before
the last spectator was able TO get away
from the scene CT battle.
Perhaps the disabling Of Wescott'
the star Tufts halfback, early IN the
second period had q great deal to 90
with the lack Of power in the TUFTS
attack during the last half Of the game
But even when he was in action the
Nedford backs had more than they
could handle in attempting 10 force
their way through with the ball.
ANGEL equirTed through for some
short rains, but none of the other
backs could gain consistently through
Ioohev. Nash and Seller, the bulwarEs
OF the Rutgers line, and if they did by
A. lucky chance get within the range OF
the secondary defence they found that
Talman was q power 70 be reckoned
with.
Nash and Talman played as they
never played before, and II the Rutgers
team found itself when the second
period opened it was in large measure
due 10 Che inspiration OF these Two.
Nash walked through Bingham, ms I'M
mediate opponent, without opposition,
and he was down under every one OF
Talman's long punts like hawk' he
y,loxr with
ing accuracy, and crashed through 70
the runner, bringing him down often
times before he was IN his STRIDE.
Talman Forgets Injured Ankle.
Talman. despite a slightly twisted
ankle. which received couple of bad
&vrenches as the game progressed, was
a tower of strength Extensively and de-
Sensiyelv. He punted well up to his
standard. and his ability to size up on
coming plays cost Tufts many yard;
BY pulling down two long forward
passes in the last period he saved his
team from danger.
The much discussed legal mass play,
which Sanford devised year ago.
sboved it's real worth time and again,
and brought about Rutgers first touch
down. In Bracher, his fullback, San

full in the person of Bill Morley the
old Columbia star.
Bracher hit the Tufts line with the
tmpetuosity Of a thunderbOlt and the

seldom failed to gain, and most OF his
Gains were for half a dozen yards OIL
more. Once he crunched through, and

twentv-hve-yard run before Parks

triAe heavier Bracher would surely
write his name indelbly on the page
of football fame.
Bennett and Standard, the Tufts ends
who gave Harvard so much trouble last
week with their ability to bob up IN
unexpected places for long forward
passes. found their masters in Seller
and Rockefeller, the Rutgers pair.
Seller was especially adept in boxing
his man. and Bennett could do little
against the other Rutgers man. Stank
prd did fool Seller twice, and the price
was touchdown, the only one scored
ly Tufts.
