The citizens of Newark didn't take
very kindly to the football game on
Saturday between Rutgers and Tufts
and as result only about 1900 per.
sons were present and a majority of
these came from New Brunswick. the
home of the Rutgers team. A few
were present from Boston. where
Tufts is located, and here and there
you would see residents of Newark,
the Oranges, Montclair and Glen
Ridge. 1t is too bad that the con-
test didn't attract more patronage,
for it was a most beautiful game 10
watch. Besides. it may be that
Rutgers will not care to come her.i
again. in the light of such poor sup
port. but the New Brunswick col
lege might give US another chance

tain to do much better
o
Rutgers and Tufts played a won
derful game, and in coming through
by the score of 16 to Z,
one of the surprises of the season was
sprung. Tufts was looked upon as
the likely winner after good game,
but Rutgers played all around the
Boston eleven after the first quarter
was over. At the beginning Tufts
looked to be the better team by long
odds. The men from Boston were
alert early, and they were quick and
smart at their work. They appeared
to be sure of themselves, while Rut-
gers was nervous and uncertain. As
the game went on, however, Rutgers
got down to stern reality, and at the
first show of holding their own the
New Brunswick boys picked up cour-
age and increased their efforts. They
improved 100 per cent from the first
quarter to the second quarter. And
as the game progressed Rutgers grad
ually overwhelmed its opponents, and
in the end really smothered them.
Tufts was taken off her feet by the
attacks of Rutgers, and she was
so rudely surprised that she lost
her bearings. at times, entirely. Rut-
gers scored first on goal from the
field, but that could be accepted as
an accident. Later, when Tufts
scored a touchdown as a result Of a
delayed pass from centre the game
seemed to be on ice. But Rutgers
was vet to be heard from and she
surely made her presence felt when
she did get down to work. She
played Tufts off her feet. She scored
q touchdown on straight foot
hall. and she scored touchdown
after a forward pass. These touch
downs. with field goal and one goal
after a touchdown, gave Rutgers her
1e points. Tufts seven points came
as a result of touchdown and the
goal which followed.
o.
Rutgers won a great game and
Tufts can have no complaint to make.
The only sorrow is that the crowd
wasn't much larger. 1t is true that
the Dartmouth game at Princeton
hurt some and that few went over
to New York to see Cornell and Brown
play. Still there should have been
5000 or 5000 persons down to Wieden-
mayors Park to see the Rutgers
