WHITEWASHED BALL
FOR RUTGERS ELEVEN
End of Daylight Saving Plays
Havoc With Practice.
Special DespatcA TO The Sun.

New BRUNSWICK. n j.. Oct. 2S.-The
end Of daylight saving is paying havoc
with Rutgers footDE1 practice, and a
whitewashed ball was introduced by
Coach Sanford this afternoon. so that he
could keep his men at work during the
early evenings.
Sanford is working his men hard all
this week in preparation for the big
Syracuse contest in New York on eIec-
ton day. but is planning to slacken up
toward the end of the week. He Is con-
centrating on the offence at the present
time, his theory being that the only
chance Of defeating the New Workers is
to get the jump" on them with q
series of whirlwind plays. Practice all
this week will be behind closed gates.
Gardner was back in the lineup to-
day, having recovered from his injuries.
He was used in the backheld.
