NEW BRUNswIcK, Nov. "a wave
Of Scarlet enguifed Charley Brickley's
Naval Transport Service football team
before the largest crowd that yet has
seen n game on Nielsen. Field to-day,
Rutgers great eleven rolled through the
Tars like a juggernaut, crushing them
under n 40 to o score.
Rutgers scared through the Navy de-
fence like tongue of flame. licking
up ground In ten, twenty and thirty
yard gulps. Kuii, French and Gardner
shot through the big gaps the Rutgers
forwards tore in the Navy front or
skirted the ends for big gains. On the
defence Rutgers held like a stone wall
and the counted Navy backs-the great
Charley Brickley OF Harvard, his
brother George of Trinity, rip Elan
merry Of Syracuse and Jim O'Boyle of
Georgetown-scaccely could gain an
inch. Rutgers kept the Tars on the
defensive. ..t.A. -
There was no stopping the Rutgers
attack. In Its opening drive Rutgers
went seventy yards In eight PUSHES
FOR q touchdown. Before the end OF
the opening period the Scarletip eleven
rushes travelled seventy-five yards for
another touchdown. In the second period
Rutgers tore of forty-seven yards in
twelve rushes for another six points
Scores Come Quickly.
Rutgers code roughshod over Brick
ley's men In the third period. Six
lunges Of the Rutgers attack Melted
seventy yards and a touchdown. Before
the third period was over Rutgers made
thirty-eisht yards in Ave rushes. plant
ing the ball on Nays three yard line
play in the final. quarter French went
over for the touchdown. Soon after
ward Feitner blocked O'Boyles punt
and Robson fen on the ball on Nays
twenty7eight yard line. 1t only took
three rushes to manufacture Rutgers
sixth touchdown. .. ..
Not once did Navy get first down.
In fact there was not time the Tars
had possession OF the ball in which
Rutgers line held like a rock and the
backs furnished q wonderful secondary
defence.
Robson, who played defensive full
back, drove straight through to break
up Navys attempts at the line and with
greyhound speed went to either end to
nip the attempts of the Navy backs to
skirt the tanks. The husky athletes all
around play was a revelation.
The machine like play of the Sanford
drilled eleven made Rutgers look like a
team OF stars. From an experts view
point the outstanding feature was the
team play Of the Rutgers eleven and the
magnificent interference furnished each
runner. The man with the, ball always
was surrounded with a protecting cor
don and the ruaner was an exceedingly
hard man to get to. let alone to down
after being tackled.
c. Brickley Disappoints.
Charley Brickley's Individual playing
was huge disappointment Only twice
during the game did the former Harvard
star carry the ball and each time he was
downed in his tracks. Charley's efforts
were devoted to directing the eleven,
About the only help he gave the other
backs was to pass them the ball.
The splendid interference so notice
able In the Scarlet backfield was entirely
lacking in Mays play. Brickley did
not get an opportunity to test the cum
ming OF his big toe, for Rutgers never
allowed the Tars to get within kicking
range of the Scarlet earthworks.
Three of the Scarlet touchdowns we're
scored by Gardner. Kull, French and
Summerhill also went over the top for
six each. Gardner was successful In
four OF his six attempts to Kick goal
from touchdown. In the last minute OF
play Feitner failed in an attempt to boot
a feld goal from the twenty yard line
