RUTGERS VS.. TUFTS
SHOULD DRAW WELL
Are Evenly Matched, to All App
pearances, and 1t Is a Treat
for Local Fans.

Because OF the fact that the teams
are apparently SO evenly matched
and because of the fact that it is the
only gridiron game of its kind to be
played in Newark this season, if for
no other reasons, a large attendance
is expected at the Rutgers Tufts game
here Saturday. The battle will be
waged at .Wiedennayer's Park, home
of the Newark International League
team, at the foot of Hamburg place.
Outside of the Dartmouth game to
be played at Hanover on November
Z, this is the biggest contest remain
ing on the Massachusetts teams
schedule. All in all, the Bay Staters
have made very good showing. Her
only defeat has been recorded by the
Harvard team, and the, score was far
from disgraceful for Angel, the pow
erful fuilback, crossed tho Crimson
line for u touchdown, and the final
score was only IL TO 6 against Tufts,
Rutgers. too, has been doing some
good work. The New Jersey gridlron
warriors held Princeton down to a
II to o score and were beaten by the
Army in n - to 0 score. Rutgers men
in this city are quite enthusiastic
over the outcome of the battle, both
financially and artistically, and ii is
possible that an annual game may be
played here if the attendance iusti-
fies 1t.

Central's Second String Men
Capture Football Contest

Central High Schools second string
players romped away from the South
Side scrubs yesterday afternoon at
the City Athletic Field winning by
score of % TO 0. Forward passes
which were worked with considerable
success, and long runs by Lockwood
Gardner and Bundy, enabled Central
to run up a score.
South Side made a good rally
toward the latter part of the game
and had Central on the run. A long
run of some fifty yards by Cryer and
a drop kick from the 20-yard line
by Torres featured the game. Wall
ing's work at centre yesterday was
OF such high calibre that Coach Sar-
gent will probably use him on the
Central first team. King and Rutan
were the big ground gamers on the
South Side eleven.
