 AS TOLD BY ROBERT c. HOWELL
 Head Coach, Navy (Annapolis)
 Fred Heyman was perfect in every department of football. He not only would break up interference but he would bring down the man carrying the ball. He was never boxed in any of his games. He had a quick ability to diagnose a play which enabled him to protect his own end of the line, give powerful aid to his tackle and, if neces- sary, get around to the other extremity of the defensive wall In addition, he had to the full that courage which I once had suspected him of lacking.
 But it was in handling and receiving forward passes that I found him to be astoundingly adept. He had hands of such exceptional size that he was able to catch the ball with one while he warded off tacklers with the other. He did this on so many occasions that I concentrated on developing him in the art.
 It was not until after the Harvard game-our third of the seasop-that he was definitely assigned to end. He played at halfback against the Crimson. Because of his skill ill disrupting inter- ference and at the same time bringing down the man with the ball I decided to transfer him. He justified the change in the Yale game, when he not only played first class football in every re- spect but twice caught q pass with one hand and, thrusting off would-be tack lers with his free arm, placed the ball in a position from which his team mates were able to score.
 The bewildering aerial attack which we had prepared for use against the heavy Rutgers aggregation relied large ly upon Heyman, and well did the boy bear his responsibility.
 The newspaper men were unanimous in declaring that the game showed more than any previous contest what could be done with the open formations. Straight passes, delayed passes, double passes, fake forma tions and kicks which deviated in length and placement as the circumstances demanded followed in each other in thrilling and puzzling array.
 All our boys played great ball, but Spiegel, at left half, Fleming, at right half, Goodwin, at quarter, Younkins at right guard, Cruikshank, at center, and finally l1eyman, at right end, excelled themselves. Rutgers probably exhibited the better football as straight football goes. But the game was not decided on that point. In the end, therefore, Sanfords stars-Talman, at right half, Garrett, at left half, Toohey, right tackle, Nash, left tackle, and Scarr, J1uarterbac ck-were, ]. believe am justi- fled Tn saying-outshone.
 Swept off Feet by Rush
 At the start of the game especially we looked much the better team. We scored touchdowns in the first and sec ond quarters, and kicked goal in the first, makingfthe score at the end of the half 13 to O'in our favor. But in the third period Rutgers came back with rush that carried us off our feet Gar rett and Talman hammered our line for repeated gains and eventually Garrett went over for a touchdown. The kick for goal went wide, leaving us still in the lead, 13 to 6.
 The fourth period found us in a se- rious plight. Cruikshank was laid out cold three times and finally had to be carried from the field. Fleming was knocked out and removed unconscious. Younkins was thought to have received broken skull and was ordered to a broken skull and was ordered to hos pital, but he refused to go and stuck it out until the finish, when it was found that his frontal cheek bone had been fractured. Meanwhile Garrett and Talman had continued their smash ing tactics of the previous period and were pushing us steadily back.
 However, within fifteen yards of Washington and Jefferson's goal line, and with only second down and seven yards to go, Scarr, the Rutgers quar- ter, decided to discard the old style game and try a pass. Unluckily for
