both know the finer points Of football
from the ground up. Sanford says that
both are of All-America callbre, and II
certainly looks as If Toohey would
get the call.
Budge Garrett, an Indian, 1855 pounds,
and Rockefeller, III pounds, are the
ends at present, although Seller who
has been out for a time, may play on
Saturday. All three are fast and de
pendable. while Garrett has an added
value, as he is used as an offensive end
and a defensive quarter because Of his
quickness i'm diagnosing plays and fear
less tackling. The defensive quarter
back. not always understood, is the
first man in the secondary line of de-
fenSive. and not the one who plays
deep.
Scarr. the son of Forecaster Scarr,
is the first string quarterback, and a
most pleasing fellow TO meet He did
not take part in the scr,mmage yester-
day because Of bruises. but Will be
ready for Washington and Jefferson.
Scarr is a student OF rare ability, and
10 follows that he has good head for
football. He runs the team without
friction and yet with stimulating IN
luence. and he handles punts IN the
backfeld with inherent courage and
without "a show of nervousness. lie
weighs only 145 pounds, but makes
every pound count.
Martin. also a scholarly fellow, is
first substitute TO SCarr, and is not far
behind him. either. lie drives the team
well and keeps his men working every
minute.
The other first string backs are
Nike Wittpenn, "Tody' Bracher and
tai" Talman, and Sanford says he
wouldn't trade them of for any three
backs in the country.
Sanford Proud of Backs.
Wittpenn weighs l75 pounds. He re-
ported 10 help out the scrub; he
stayed 10 help out the varsity. He is
adept at handling the ball for either
passing or receiving, and hits the line
or skirts the end with almost equal
facility.
Bracher has been dubbed "the Rut-
gers line plun<er," and yet he weighs
only 1873 pounds. When two or three
yards are needed, Bracher is the man
called on to carry the ball, and ne
rarely fails, as emphasized by the fact
that Rutgers has been held for downs
only twice this year on straight run
ring plays He is one of those re-
markable little fellows who is little
only in poundage.
Talman. who won a place on The
1ribune's All-Eastern team last year,
and who is one of the best pUnters
OF recent years. has been a long time
finding himself this season, but is now
coming into his own. He made trip
around the world last summer. and
reported for practice shot 10 pieces,
both fguratively and literally. Two
cunshot wounds received in a car
strike out West. one in the heel and
one in the arm, put him in the hospi-
tai for a time. and il was not surprls-
ing that he was slow i'm showing his
best form. He weighs 1877 pounds and
can run 100 yards i'm 10 10 seconds,
so that some idea can be had of his
Va lue in the running game.
Todd. Bowlby and Rendell are all
cspable substitutes, and the last named
is Sanford's "Man Friday" He is a
picturesque character. and IS known
rs the "all-around substitute as he
has filled every position on the team,
with the exception Of quarterback, and
has filed il well. too. He is marked
for great things, as this is his fresh
man year.
Nv trip TO New Brunswick would
not be complete without a word for
Jake Besas, the Rutgers trainer and
conditioner, who knows as much about
sprains and bruises as Sanford does
o. line play. Besas was at Yale for
twelve years, and last winter handled
the Columbia basketball team. He also
was with the American polo players
for two summers, and Rutgers men can
be considered lucky TO get him, and
luckier yet If they can keep him.
