twice the length OF the playing field.
The undoubtedly heavier and more
powerful Rutgers line. however. proved
too great a task for the fighting but
less bulky Violet first line OF defence.
Aided by the splendid interference or
their line, the New Brunswick backfleld
succeeded IN tearing holes in the Violet
line with great ease and frequency.
Duffy and Benkert, the Rutgers half
backs, crashed through the Violet de-
fence repeatedly for long gains. and
between them were responsible for no
less than ten first downs.

battle Rutgers succeeded in advancing
