a great team this year. but the Navy
was not even of fair calibrs.
O.
Rutgers was beaten by Washing
ton and Jefferson Saturday, but tho
New Brunswick college boys were
not disgraced by any means. The
/ fact is they put up a wonderful
/ game against a wonderful teams
/ team that is ranked second to Har-
yard, the acknowledged champion Of
the year. Washington and Jefferson
/ outplayed Rutgers in the early stages
of the game. but Rutgers, putting uI
a great, game fight, and displaying
much clever football tact. scored
thirteen points in the last two pc
RODS of play. The game through
out was a struggle. Washington and
Jefferson is fighting, aggressive
bunch, but Rutgers, though much
on the defensive. showed brilliantly
in spots. 1t was fine exhibition
that Rutgers put up. and the game
gives her rating among the first ten
college teams in the East.
o
Rutgers is well off in a football
way. She has a sterling coach in
George Foster Sanford, who has de-
veloped a grand team at the New
Brunswick college. Rutgers, by the
way, promises to give US a game
or two in Newark next year. Her
game against TUFTS was not the
financial success expected, still the
fcient to warrant another game here
next year. The people here will un-
derstand it better by that time, and
they will support it better, and the
they will not conflict with one OF the
big games at Princeton, il that is
possible. Football will go in New
ark if given fair trial. 1t is too
bad that a desirable sridiron is not
available in this city. 1t would
make g. great difference in the at
tendance.

Although Alfred Goullet is able 60
defeat Alfred Grenda on the bike
track in any kind OF race, "Goullie''
finds it difficult to win even now and
then from the Tall Tasmanian" on
the home trainer. During their en-
last week at Hammer
STEMS, New York, Grenda beat Goul-
let in a majority of the races, which,
to Joe Fogler, who is the
official starter for the Goullet-G renda
are "for blood" If Grenda
can beat Goullet on the home trainer
in a majority Of cases he is the com
olete master of the situation, for as an
actor the Tasmanian has "Goullie"
showed under, as the saying goes. He
has a stage smile that beats his regu-
lar smile city block and he makes
his little bows like veteran. In fact,
he acts like an actor while he is doing
his act, but once off the stage he Is
the silent man" again. Goullet's
modesty Is a big handicap to him in
ma ways. He is rather like Kramer
In TINS respect. He can't act and he
knows it and he simply plays his
part in an unassuming way.
O.
Goullet and Grenda, who come to
xeeney's Theatre for the first three
lays OF this week, will face a famil-
ar. though critical, audience. Their
let is mechanical, but their presence

ace is the real attraction. Exhtbi- |

s getting even in that he is getting
MS money very easy this week.
o.
The bike promoters are in hard
luck. They didn't make quite as
much on the New York day race
as they expected, so they promise to
reduce the salary of Willie Bolles,
extraordinary at the Velo-
droma, g per week.

Floyd MacFariand, general man
aser for the Cycle Racing Associa-
ton, is not SO sure now whether he
will import the Masked Marvel
from Europe. He would like to, but
he is afraid that Poke Freeman, his
press agent, would expose the Mar
vei'' even before he had a chance to
appear.
Ernie Pye contemplates forming a
company TO put his celebrated tires
on the market on a large scale. Pye
means to manufacture tires for
sulkies as well as for bikes. He
claims horse will be able TO trot
or pace at least a second faster on
his tires than on the tires now in
use. His tires were a big success
in the New York race and his only
regret is that they lasted too long
for his own good.
O.
liver Lawson figures that he should
be rated next to Kramer and Goullet
when it comes to signing contracts
for next year. Lawson says he fin
