Worcester Boys Score
First, but Weight
Tells in End

Rutgers big football team won a
poorly played game from the fighting
Holy Cross eleven. at Wiedenmayer's
Park. Newark. Yesterday BIZ a score Of
II 10 s. All the scoring was done IN
the first half, Holy Cross being the
first to tally, Foley scoring a touch
down after Rutgers had fumbled a
punt. Bracher and Robson scored two
touchdowns for Rutgers in the first and
second periods. respectively
At times the New Brunswick eleven
showed great power in its attack. nota-
| bly, in the last few minutes Of the
opening period. when the ball was car
red down the field in steady rushes for
the first Rutgers score. But in the
second half. when everybody expected
| the heavy Red team TO annihllate its
lighter opponent. Holy Cross held
tenaciously whenever a touchdown was
/ threatened
Rutgers managed to keep the ball
in Holy Cross territory during most of
the second half, but poor judgment on
| the part of Captain Scarf, at quarter.
! fumbes at critical moments and gen
eral looseness of play spoiled several
chances TO score, and the showing made
| by his men must have been disap-
pointment 70 Foster Sanford. the
coach.
Multiple Kick Fails
Twice the New Brunswick team tried
| 10 score goals from the field by the
use of Sanford's multiple kick forme-
! ton, but each time the ball went wide
of the goal posts. once from difficult
angle and once from sGuarely in from.
of the cross-bar, with the ball resting
on Holy Cross's 40-yard line.
The formation itself worked per
[ fectly. Hazel having plenty of time TO
I get his kick away before the opposing
/ team could break through to block. but
the RUTGERS fullback erred Just a tribe
in his direction and the attempt to
score was failure.
Rutgers kicked off. with Holy Cross
defending the north goal. Little Foley
caught the ball and lodged ms way
I through a maze of tacklers tor 1or,S
wards TO his own 45-yard line. Two al.
terpts 70 smash a way through the Red
j line proved fruitless. and Foley puhteu
to Rutgers l0yard line.
Bracher fumbled the catch and Kelly
fell on the ball for Holy Cross. On
the next play Foley shot around LETT
end and scored touchdown. while the
rooters for the New England eleven
shouted and stamped their feet in 2
frenzy Of Joy. The ball was punted
out for the try at goal from touch,
down. but no Holy Cross man could
get his hands on il. and the score STOOD
Holv Cross 6. Rutgers o..
| First blood had been drawn by HOLY
! Cross within the first five minutes OF
NAV. and those in the Rutgers stands
sat in stunned silence. Sanford, who
had been sitting with party of friend:
in the grandstand. squirmed about un'
easily in his seat, and finally STROBE
out TO the side lines, as though to en-
courage his men by his presence.
Kendall Makes tumble
Lynch kicked off to Kendall, who
fumbled, and the ball went to HOLY
Cross. On the very first play one Of
the HOLY Cross backs fumbled, snc
Scarr fell on the ball for Rutgers. The
New Brunswick team kicked to the 30
yard line.
On the next play Foley tore off seven
wards, but when the opposing players
had untanged themselves from the
mass of humanity on the ground little
Foley was found at the bottom, limp
and unfit to continue in the game. lie
was helped to the side lines, wildly
cheered by the Holy Cross stands, while
Maloney took his place at left half.
The Rutgers line held like a wall OF
steel. and after the Holy Cross attack
had twice broken in vain against II
Maloney punted out of danger. The
Rutgers backs then began an irresistible
march down the field, the linemen
opening up gaps for the man with the
ball until the leather was within strlk'
ing distance of the goal posts. Brachei
slammed his way through left tackle
from the 6-yard line and scored q
touchdown. Hazel kicked the goal and
the score stood: Rutgers, Z; Holy
Cross, 6.
Rutgers again worked the ball vel
down toward the Holy Cross goal, only
to be held off, and when the whistle
sounded the end of the first period II
was Rutgers ball near the centre OF
the field.
Bracher shot his way through the
line for ten yards, but moment later
