New-York tribune., 1920-11-03


Brunswick students would--or better, it
was expected the Jersey crew would
show to better advantage. If there
were any spectators willing to be con-
vertcd into football fans. yesterday S
struggle certainly didn't convince them
it was a wonderful game.
At the start the Westerners looked
TO be every bit as good as the tally ap-
parently shows them to nc. But whc n
they got into action they looked to be
anything but q real football eleven.
Had Rutgers not been handicapped by
the absence Of a pilot, or at least a
headless hclmsman, who drove his team
in zigzag journey TO nowhere, and
who in many respects was q good
player for the visitors, it might even
nave won the issue. There were no
bells on the Huskcrs, but they didn t
need any medals to carry off the honors
in yesterdays melee.
4 Dubious Outlook
These laddies of General Pershing' S
alma mater will doubtless find that
they play quite q different brand of
Eastern football up at Penn State Col
lege when they visit there Saturday.
At this present moment It looks dubi-
Gus for their chances in their coming
contest
We do not mean to disparage the
ability OF all Of the individuals Vho
participated in the fray Of yesterday.
There were some mighty good football
players roaming the field But there
were also some out there that would
have helped their teams more In lead
ing cheers.
Pucelik, left tackle Of the visitors,
for instance, was very fine performe r
not an all-American candidate, as ad-
vance reports would lead us to believe
but a very nifty lineman neverthe-
less. He WAS the whole show on his
side, smearing most OF the plays that
came his way, and down the field tie
led his mates on virtually every occa-
sion, making most of the tackles on
punts and kick-offs.
backs, who pick their openings fairly
we'll. But they do most OF their run
ming behind the limo. At least, they
don't bump their tacklers hard enough.
They would have gained much more
eround than they did II they ran
harder.
The two Redmonds-Herbert at end
and Mortimer in the backfeld-and
Raub st left tackle did practically all
body knows that three men can't beat
how good they are.
Strong on Defensive
II. Redmond and Raub did most Of
the defensive work for their team,
while NJ. Redmond was by far the best
offensive player on his side. His kick
ing was exceptionally good-and the
more so considering that nearly every
bost was made IS the visiting for
wards piled through to crown HIM. A
few of his efforts we're blocked, but he
managed to get all of the others away
in fine manner. Yes, indeed, M. Red
mond deserves great credit.
New Brunswick eleven-and in fact both
tesms--wc can't say much for that.
Evidently Maloney had only a few pl lays
in his repertoire and none Of these
went at all. In the third quarter the
Jersey student7 did show signs Of 81
good line breaking offcnse, with Raub
and M. Redmond doing the work, but
these two alone were unable to keep
up the good work.
;he ball. Immediately he dashed over
TO his side-kick and pulled the old one
OF passing the leather to Wright, who
vent clear to mld-iield before he WIS
pulled down. But that ended the ad-
vance Of the visitors for the time be
ing. So Weller runted Rutgers
couldn't gain and puntcd back. The
Westerncrs threatened the line of the
Jersey team all through this period,
although they did go as far as the f.
yard line. The period ended with the
ball on Rutgers 20-yard line.
M. Redmond Immediately kicked TO
tho forty-tive-yard line. Hartley and
Wright got under way again as they
had been doing in the first period and
carried the ball to the ten-yard line
From there Hartley plunged through
right tackle to the four-yard mark and
then Wright shot over with the first
score. His Captaincy Bill Day kicked
the goal
The struggle see-sawed during most
Of the next period until near the end,
when the Westerncrs got their second
touchdown. Once, when Rutgers had
the ball, Maloney spread his team clear
across the field. The spectators held
their breath. Something new was go
ing to happen, SO 1t seemed-maybe q
run Tor q touchdown. But the signal
was given, the ball was snapped and
nobody was there to receive it.
Maloney had crossed up the entire
assemblage, including the actors them
selves. And Nebraska got the bali. But
II didn't do much good The Huskers
went only 80 far and then gave Rut-
gers . chance to gain.
Poor Attempt to Drop Kick
At one time the Corneaters. or Husk-
crs. were within eighteen yards of the
line and Captain Bill Day made a try
for goal from placement, but Bill made
the mistake of trying to kick through
the mob of seething players instead of
over their heads. Of course no goal
resulted. Near the close OF the half
Newman tossed forward pass from
the ten-yard line to Swanso, who went
the ten-yard line to Swanson, who went
the goal.
Nebraska kicked off to start the sec
ond half. Rutgers then began to show
some offensive work Of its own. NJ.
Redmond, with Raub cleaning out clear
to the secondary, crashed through for
several long gains, and it appeared as
though the Jersey students were going
to nj axe a grand comeback. But Ma
loney interjected at the wrong moment
with lob "a forward pass which is
useless, and the New Brunswick stu
dents relinquished the leather. No
scoring resulted in this period.
In the last period several rushes
brought Nebraska within easy reach Of
the line and Newman went over for the
third touchdown. Just before the end
ne hurled a long pass to Swanson,
which the latter clasped after n little
Juggling and went over. Day kicked
rhe goal in both tries
