I'M tober 4.-Ten minutes &C
4 Y ton during the first and
second period sent the
George Washington University
foot ball team down to defeat in
its first game of the season here
today, a Rutgers eleven piling up
three touchdowns in that time
and sewing up a game which cul-
minated in a 20-to-6 victory for
the Scarlet eleven. Except for
that time, George Washington
fought its opponent on even
terms, but was unable to count
until the fourth period, when an
aerial attack terminated in its
lone score.
Reports of a strong Rutgers eleven
proved not unfounded today and the
mention of Jack Grossman, it's 1907
pound fullback, for All-American selec-
ton, seemed entirely justified. Gross
man led his team throughout the entire
fray, and besides personally scoring two
of his teams three touchdowns, was
the spearhead Of the Rutgers attack.
Although George Washington succeeded
in holding him during the second half,
he was literally ineincible throughout
the first 80 minutes of play, and time
and again romped through the Colonial
line.
CoIoniaIs Start Well.
George washington started out well
enough and for 10 minutes OF the first
period battled its foe to a scoreleSs
tie. In fact, 1t was holding the upper
hand for a while. for after blocking
Cheeseman's kick on its opponents 30
yard line G. w. advanced by steady
PUSHES to the 12-yard stripe. But Billy
Wells pass TO Sturtevant sailed over
the goal line and Rutgers obtained
possession of the ball, which 1t did not
lose until it had planted it behind the
Colonial goal pests the climax OF
sustained 80-yard drive.
During the drive, Rutgers made. the
George Washington line resemble the
we'll known sieve, Grossman, Cronin
and Stager gaining from to yards

Washington's 46-yard line. Grossnlan

Corson. who went to the Colonials' 20
ward line After two 5-yard gains
Grossman circled end for the flrst
touchdown. Harris made it seven by
kicking the goal.
A few seconds later occurred the most
sensational play of the game which
gave Rutgers its second score. Taking
Csrlfn's punt on his own 37-yard line.
Stager eluded two Colonial tacklers and
behind perfect interference ran SO yards
to a. score.
George washington braced and but
for a bad pass from center late In the
period would have been unsecured upon
for the rest Of the game. Waiting 70
punt on his own 30-yard line, Carlln
saw Chambers pass sail 20 YARDS over
his head and could but fall on the ball
only 10 yards from his goal. The oval
going to Rutgers was pushed across
on the first play, Gross1nan finding .
hole in the right side Of the Colonial
line.
CoIOneIs Come Back.
It looked like an entirely different
George washington team in the second
half, the Capital City eleven not only
holding its opponent scoreless, but out
pIaying it. Only once did Rutgers ap-
breach the Buff and Blue goal, when
CHEESEMAN'S punt was downed by one
of his own mates on the George Wash
inkton LIZARD line. "Otts" Kriernel-
never, erstwhile washington high
school star, who had been sent into the
game for Bagranoff, punted out OF
danger.

yards at a time on the ground, George
washington opened up an aerial attack
which finally resulted in a score. Billy
Wells was on the directing end of these
heaves, passing to either Carlin, Colo
way. Carter or Mulvey. Chambers partly
atoned for his previous error when he
intercepted a Rutgers pass on his own
30-yard line and started his team to
its lone touchdown.
Wells passed Immediately to Carter,
who ran Is yards to the Rutgers As
yard stripe, and the same combination
accounted for 80 yards more. Wells
then broke through center to the 1-yard
line, but a penalty cost George Wash
ington S yards. A recovered tumble
placed the ball on the 1T-yard line,
from which position Wells passed to
Mulvey, who was standing behind the
