Rutgers and Trinity Appear to
Be Set for Defeat in
This City.
BY DANIEL.

As a cocktail for the sumptuous foot |
ball feast which is TO be served on Satur- |
day there will be two games here this
afternoon--one at the Polo Grounds be-
tween Notre Dame and Rutgers and the
other at Ohio Field between New York
University and Trinity. These contests
ought to make the already sharp appe-
tites of football followers OF this city all
the keener for the Yale-Princeton. Navy
Penn State. ania-Dartmouth. N.
Y. U.-Rutgers, Columbia-Ohio. Syracuse
Colgate and Harvard-Brown meetings, |
which will feature the programme on Sat-
urday That Notre Dame would have lit
tie trouble in rolling up at least Ave
touchdowns on Rutgers was the opinion
which prevailed wherever football men
gathered yesterday. Rutgers seems to
be Notre Danes particular ''meat" for
one major rcason-the pupils OF Foster
Sanford are slow to grasp and slow to
diagnose. Against an eleven with the
shifty, deceptive and highly versatile
offensive which Notre Dame showed In
beating the Army by 2s to Rutgers
seems destined to fare even worse than
it did against Georgia Tech, which won
by as to IA.
Notre Dame may not get IS. but
Rutgers will find that the defence OF
the Hoosiers is far different proposition
than that of the Golden Tornado. which
had hardly any defence at all. Notre
Dame is not only scoring machine.
but it is a defensive machine. 1t proved
that by keeping the Cadets away from
its goal line.
Typical Hoosier outfit.
Notre Dame will spring its shift. which
caused so much debate last Saturday
and its fine forward passing attack.
which caused so much anguish for the
Army Knute Rockne's eleven Is
typical Notre Dame team-fast and
heavy, alert and quick witted, with
lot of stuff.
Against this fine combination Rutgers
will throw q game unlike that which II
has used in previous games this season.
Heretofore Sanford has attempted to de-
velop scoring power with stratagems
which made the inside game subsidiary.
AS a result he made the efficacy OF his
attack highly problematical and his de-
fence looser than that of any other San
ford coached team.
For the last week Sanford has been
working along old lines. He has made
tho tackle to tackle offensive paramount
once more, he has developed his tackle ,
TO tackle defence. Rutgers will try the
forward pass, but It will not try to
make a hurting match out of the con- |
test. Nor will 1t attempt to match Notre
Dame shifts with shifts of its own.
Rutgers men hope for no victory, but
they do hope for a good showing, ana
that means keeping the score below that |
which Notre Dame amassed at the Point |
N. Y. U. Should Win.
AS for the n. Y. U.-Trinity affair there
is every reason TO look for another
sweeping triumph for the Violet, which
beat the Hartford eleven by 81 to 20
last election day and hopes to do even
better this afternoon.
I'm. Y u. has kept the edge which II
attained in the to tie with Colgate
n week ago Saturday Trinity will be
showed under Trinity reached the top
of its form on that same day, when II
heat Stevens by to 0. However, beat
ing the Hoboken Engineers this season
is not half the trick 1t would have been
last year when the Tech eleven had
clean slate.
In addition to the two intercollegiate
contests there will be several big inter-
scholastic games in this vicinity. The
Youngsters hereabout are playing fine
grade of football and their gaines are
well worth while.
