yICTORS VERY VERSATILE
Castner Runs 55 Yards at Start
-Wynne and Desch
Also Shine.
BY DANIEL.

out of deluding crisscrosses and line
feints. battling jump shifts which car
ried the backs through with tremen-
dous momentum and wrought havoc
everywhere-these stood out In the ef-
ficiency with which truly great foot
ball team from Notre Dame over
whelmed green, blundering Rutgers
eleven by 4S to at the Polo Grounds
yesterday afternoon.
Rutgers was overmatched. out
ciassed. outdone in every detail--but II
was not outgamed. From the opening
minute. which brought 55-yard run
for q touchdown by the elusive Cast
ner, the wearers Of the bright scarlet
fought losing battle. Defeat was
their share even before the opening
KICKOFF. But they never did stop fight
ing and trying.
Most Of the 10000 onlookers came
not so much because they expected to
be favored with a real contest. but be-
cause they wanted to see the men. the
method and the weapons with which
Notre Dame humbled the Army last
Saturday, 2S to O.. They saw enough
to satisfy. They saw highly developed
mass and individual versatility power,
speed and the know-how which comes
only OF long experience.
Desch In a Star.
They saw the willy. wiliowy Wynnc.
Castner and the dashing Desch, the very
Gus from Newark, who Is Olympic 400
meter hurdles champion, scoot yards and
yards with perfect interference. Desch
made runs Of 42.35 and 10 yards and
scored touchdown. They saw Mohardt
go smashing of the tackles and through
the guards. and they saw double and
triple passes which developed long for
ward tosses to Kiley and e. Anderson
for ten gains In nineteen tries
They saw Notre Dame run wild. while
Rutgers. slow to grasp and diagnose and
lacking in fundamentals, wabbled
through four periods which were agony
for those who kept shouting their al
legiance to the Scarlet.
The Hoosiers piled up II points from
two touchdowns and field goal In the
first quarter. 10 more from second
drop kick and another crossing OF the
Rutgers goal line in the second period.
& mere In the third session and
crowning IA in the farewell quarter.
Rutgers threatened to score only once
at the close of the second period One
forward pass had gone for 30 yards. an
other had gone for 17-Foster Sanford's
pupils were only three yards from the
final chalkmark
Pass II Not Completed.
A smash into the line would have been
the play. But an official came up and
warned the Scarlet that there were only
thirty seconds to go. In desperation
Rutgers tried another forward pass. It
fell to the ground behind the goal line
for a touchback-and Rutgers saw its
lone hope throttled.
Two of the touchdowns were taken
over by Castner. one by Wynne, and
each came through with q remarkable
drop kick. wynne kicked his field goal
from the forty-five yard line in the
opening quarter. while Cashier sent one
over the bar from forty-seven yards in
the second period. Wynne's touchdown
came right In tho wake Of Cashiers
opening nfty-nve yard dash. Wynne
won't thirty-ave yards for his. Desch
did all his dashing In the third and
fourth periods and carried over the last
touchdown with a ten yard run around
the Rutgers right.
Rutgers made four first downs and
thrice took the bali from Notre Dame on
downs: that when the Hoosiers pressed
their aerial attack and failed on a fourth
down. Just how many first downs
Notre Dame recorded could not be
az none of the experts had the
foresight to bring an adding machine.
Eight and ten yard gains by the visitors
became about as common as the warts
on a pickle. and their first downs seemed
to be as numerous as tho varieties In a
certain well known pickle works.
Trouble with Shift.
That much discussed jump shift which
created all kinds Of argument up at
West Point was shown time and again,
and time and again II was noted that
the Hoosiers were In motion when the
ball was passed. There were quite a few
penalties for offside. but quite a few
were disregarded by the OFF,
cials. It did not seem to matter, any
way. The shift Is a further develop
ment Of the shift which Notre Dame
showed at West Point In 1920 and the
year previous. and It appears to be IL
legal more often than It is legal.
Rutgers was deficient In tackling. in
charging. In interference. Because Of
the soft opposition the Hoosiers became
rather careless In the second half. They
had had tough game at West Point
only few days before and they were
tiring. The Notre Dame ends. Kiley
and E. Anderson. were even better than
they were last year. fast down the field
and always alert. Waite was the best
for Rutgers.
Each team tried nineteen forward
passes Notrc Dame completed ten
tosses for a total of ninety-nine ynrds
and two touchdowns. One pass was In
tercepted Rutgers completed only three
passes. for a total of fifty-flve yards.
and saw two Of Its tosses intercepted.
First Period.
Rutgers essayed n short kickoff which
III. Anderson ran back for fifteen yards |
to the Notre Dame as yard line. Cast
ner then raced flfty-ive yards around |
the Rugters right for touchdown. while |
Notre Dame scattered the Scarlet right |
and left. Shaw kicked goal. 1t was
that quick.
Notre Dame kicked off to Rutgers and |
ehe New Brunswick eleven failed In two |
punches. Chandler kicked and Notre
Dame had the ball on Rutgers 40 yard |
line. There was a fifteen yard penalty |
for roughing. but the Hoosiers more
than made up for It with twenty yard |
pass to 70. Anderson. Wynne
feinted at the left and then crossed over
the right and dashed through guard for
thirty-fve yards and touchdown.
Again Shaw kicked goal. 1t looked like
