| 1t was damp, poor day for foot
ball, and no mistake, especially for
gentlemen accustomed to the bene-
ficent climate below tho Mason-Dixon
line. The lads from Louisiana lost
their way trying to reach the Polo
Grounds through the heavy fog, and
the game was delayed accordingly. A

found the place at all. Probably never
before in single afternoon were so
many Louisiana lads thrown in the
mud and held there for the count.

unnecessary roughness. The climax
was reached in the fourth quarter
when "One-Punch" Brennan went into
the Rutgers lineup for single scrim-
mage, landed his blow and was un-

his team half the distance toward their
goal lines.
All Kinds of Hooks Barred
Between the halves All Sharpe and
G. Foster Sanford, the learned Rutgers
coach, held an animated conversation
with regard to the penalties. Sharpe
insisted that the golden rule, ''Use No
Hooks" either right or left, be strictly
enforced.
The Southerners had only two backs
who could gain ground in the slippery
going, Helm and Mcfarland, while the
Rutgers machine was equipped with
all-weather trcads, a reversible line

New Brunswick team, scored two Of
the four touchdowns made by his team
and played brilliantly, but Benkert,
Moore, Ray, Noble and Dickinson did
not allow the heavy drizzle and fog to
completely extinguish them as shining

was an eighty-yard run for a touch

when he caught punt on his twenty

spectators. Nobody knew who played

us!" said the, astonished Louisiana
coach, Irving Pray. "Here comes the
night shift"
After the teams had wrestled around
in the mud until near the end of the
first half, Benkert was sent into the
Rutgers backfeld and, aided by Moore,
he proceeded to hit the Louisiana
tackles with devastating effect. Moore
finally plunged over for the first touch
down of the game and Benkert earned
the extra point with kick from place
ment. This Rutgers kick is a short
barreled affair, being made from close
up to the scrimmage line. The first
time was the only occasion that it
worked in four tries.
Ray Helps Rutgers's Cause
In the third quarter Ray, the diminu-
tive halfback, went out to help along
the good work for Rutgers. He car

gram, and was Immediately dubbed

by the way, numbers didn't mean any
thing, yesterday. The only things they
identified were the sweaters. In any
case, Ray caused a lot of trouble for
the big boys. He was the center of

mark, from which advantageous point

touchdown: Ray ran 80 close to. the

An intercepted forward pass by Ma

own, Ray to Dickinson, resulted in the
third touchdown for Rutgers in the
last quarter. Dickinson was pulled
down few feet from the goal line. but
Maloney carried the ball over on line

exhibition by Maloney, when he caught
Louisiana punt on his 20-yard line
