her credit. and the boys from the Kari

score would have been larger.
Extensively the Navy was even more

fence Rutgers picked of the primitive

and the fast-stepping Ithaca boy could

There was one notable exception-in
the third period, when WhitehllI was
boxed in on the right wing and bar

field before ne was dumped. That was
one Of the Nays two first downs. The
other was made in the second period
on three line stabs, Gerrish fighting his
way free for first down.
