N. Y. u. Holds Unbeaten
Stevens Eleven to Tie
Violet Springs Surprise in
Game Of Thrills That
Ends 60
By Charles A. Taylor

The elevens of New York University
and Stevens Institute battled to a 6-6
tie on Castle Point Field, Hoboken,
Yesterday afternoon before a crowd OF
three thousand shivering but enthusi-
astic fans. II was without doubt the
best played game that has been staged
IN greater New York and its environs
this season.
The fine record Of the engineers, who
have gone through their schedule with
out suffering a single defeat, made
them logical favorites over their OPP
ponents. To make the apparent superb
ority more pronounced, Wesleyan,
which defeated N. Y. u, was one Of
the teams to bow before the prowess Of
Stevens.
The Violet, therefore, furnished a
great surprise by matching the ster-
ling game of their rivals with one
equally as good in every department,
save, perhaps, punting. Both lines
we're veritable Gibraltars when danger
threatened, and it was only through
the forward pass route that the two
scores of the contest were made.
Two players stood out above their
mates. They were Egan. of New York
University, and Goodale, of Stevens.
They brought about practically all the
thrills Of the contest. Goodele, on the
second play of the game, carried the
ball thirty yards around left end,
strewing his pathway with would-be
tacklers and bringing a roar Of cheers
from the Stevens roofing squadron.
Egan Tied the Score
Not to be outdone on the thrill pro-
gramme, Egan, in the final period
broke away on his own 25-yard line for
a dash that took him to the Stevens 40
yard line.
1t was Goodale also who threw the
forward pass in the second period,
which Carlson grabbed at midfeld, to
race fifty yards for the first touchdown
of the game.
Egan Offset this brilliant work of his
rival by receiving forward pass from
Buckley in the third period and speed
ing across the goal line for the touch
down that tied the score. 1t was in
deed a great day for Egan and Goodale.
Either team might have won the
game had it not been for the cross bar
which according TO the rules has to
extend between the goal posts. In the
third period. following Egan's touch
down, the same player was fooled IN
his attempt to kick the goal because
that aforementioned cross bar was in
the way of the ball as it appeared to
be soaring over for the extra point.
In the fourth period. with the ball
on New York University's 35-yard line
and only minute left for play, Good
ale dropped back to the 40-yard mark
and made q magnificent attempt at
a goal from placement
Bar Again Blocks Kick
The Stevens fans followed up the
hush that invariably precedes an effort
Of this sort with wild shout OF joy
as they saw the ball steering straight
and true toward the spot where vic
tory was perched.
But again Mr.. Cross Bar showed how
cross he could be. and just seemed to
roach out and hurl the old pigskin
of Ebenfeld, of New York University,
who carried il some fifteen yards
toward the Stevens goal. 1t was also
a great day for Mr.. Cross Bar.
The first touchdown OF the game
came in the second period, when Egan,
in essaying a drop kick from the
Stevens 30-ynrd line. drove the ball to
Carlson, Of Stevens. who ran to mid
field. Goodale then hurled a pass TO
Carlson, who made his sensational run
Of fifty yards for the score. Goodale
