Notre Danes speedy football crew
gave q wonderful exhibition in defeat
ing Rutgers at the Polo Grounds yes-
ssrdsy by score Of Aa to O. The game
WA wholly AZ exhibition. net contest,
~ Rutgers was battling the whole
afternoon in seif-defense.
- The Jersey students had as little
chance against the fast-aying Western
c-s as some high school outfit might
have had. The South Bend students
rushed the ball up and down the field
almost at will, and whenever their run
ming attack failed them they always
had their good old forward passing
game TO fall back upon.
The Rutgers players deserve credit
for game fight, but the odds were
greatly against them. The Scarlet
eleven showed little offense. Its attack
was slow and crude. 1t did manage to
set away with a couple of long forward,
passes more by accident than design.
The New Brunswick students did better
work on defense and several times
managed to hold the visitors for
downs, but the Rutgers team during
most III the struggle was quite as COM
plctely bafied as was the Army on last
Saturday IN attempting to keep the
Westerne-s from running wild.
Shift Play Appeared Legal
Notre Dame used the shift play sew
eral times for material gains. Several
times the officials decided the men
we're IN motion before the ball was
snapped, but generally the play went
through and appeared to be as legal as
any otrer shift is. It is exceedingly
difficult 90 decide whether an effective
working shift play is legal or not. To
be effective the shift must 20 through
SIS rapidly as possible, and Notre Dame
makes IT go that way.
However, the South BEND students
had other plays that worked as eaec-
lively as the shift. They used a de-
lsyed pass that was as good as any we
have seen this season. Wynne, ore of
the best running backs seen in the
East. generally carried the ball on this
play. Twice he broke through the cen
ter Of the line and got clear, going all
the way to the goal line.
MOZART and Castner worked beauti-
fully with Wynne on the running at
tack, and little MOZART threw foryvar
passes with the same zip and accuracy
that he did a. West Point.
Csstner showed wonderful power as
punter upon the plains on Saturday.
but yesterday afternoon. in addition to
giving a great exhibition OF punting he
came through with some grand goal
kicking. In the first half he drop
kicked two field goals, one from the
45-yard line and the second from the
47-yard line
Ktley. did his usual brilliant work
n receiving forward passes On de-
tense Hector Garvey. the towering
tackie,. was the boy who did most Of
the shining. IN fact, the whole Notre
Dame played slashing game. Raubb
and benkert were easily the outstand-

virtually Rutgers1s entire defense, and
Benkert did most of the work for the
New Jersey team on offense.
Rutgers Make Lone Sally
Benkert caught two long forward
passes that brought the bali to Notre
Danes t0-yard line for the only
threatening gesture that Rutgers made
against the Westerners. Outside of
thst lone sally the Scarlet was never
dangerous.
Notre Dame wasted no time in get
ting their attack started. Rutgers's
kickoff was short and Dooley quickly
pounced upon the ball on the 3S-yard
line. On the very first play Castner
skirted his own left and, aided by
superb interference, ran all the way TO
the goal line. Shaw kicked the goal,
making the score, 7 to o.
Notre Dame then kicked off. and
Rutgers, failing to gam, punted TO
Thomas, who caught the ball on his
own 37-yard line.
The Westerners rushed the ball to
the 4s-yard line and then beauti-
fnl delayed pass the hard-running
wynne broke through the left side of
his line and sNrinted to the goal line,
and as usual Shaw kicked the goal.
Notre Dame then kicked off and Rut-
xers was forced to punt. Notre Dame
made a couple of Intellectual assaults
against Rutgers line, and Eastern, the
long distance southpaw kicker, then
stepped back and dropkicked a beauti-
ful goal from his own 43-yard line.
That kick went over the bar at the
eastern end Of the field.
Shortly after the start Of the second
period Castner, facing toward the west,
dropkicked a goal from his own Al
