A few minutes later the light
Stevens team held the plunging giants

Cotter. Deghuee and Marshall starred
for Stevens, the latter two breaking
the ball. Talman, while he was might
ily effective against the Stevens line,
which was outweighed thirty pounds TO
a man. was not the Talman Of last
year. He stood almost straight up when
charging with the ball and did not seem
to have the same battering effect so
noticeable in 1914. Scarr ran his team
with excellent judgment and was all
over the field, being especially quick IN
getting down the field under kicks.
Robson, Elliott and Bracher were also
powerful factors in the Rutgers attack.
