Rutgers Wins 1st Time.
Al Princeton Since SO.
In Oldest Grid Rivalry
By Cospor Nonnes
Stor Stoff Correspondent

PRINCETON, NJ, Oct. 16.-The
bells of old Queens College at Rut-
gers rang tonight as the New Jersey
State University students celebrated
as wild a football victory over
Princeton as the Scarlet ever scored.
Rutgers won today's game % to
6. 1t was their first victory on
Princetons home grounds since 1869
and only their fourth victory in Al
games with the Tigers since that
time.
The rivalry between the two
schools is the oldest in scholastic
football history. In 1869 Rutgers in
vaded Princeton to improvise new
game-football. Rutgers won that
day six goals to four goals.
Wild as today's game was. the
fight for the goal posts after it was
even wilder. Before the game ended,
Princeton students started massing
behind the goal posts in anticipation
of the Rutgers onslaught that fol-
lowed.
The crowd of 1900 stayed to
watch the battle. The goals went
down, but there were probably many
black eyes and swollen noses tonight
at the dances that followed the
game.
Everything in the book entered
into the football game. Fumbles,
long runs, long and short passes, a
catch of a forward
pass and a safety kept the crowd in
a constant uproar.
Princeton lead at the end of the
first quarter, 6 to 0, but Rutgers
roared back with nine points in the
second quarter, six in the third and
seven in the fourth. s

TULSA, Okla, Oct. 16-Billy
Conn, Georgetown's sophomore run
ming flash from New Jersey, took to
the air lanes late this afternoon to
pass slippery football for two
touchdowns and the Hoyas' 1877
victory over Tulsa. Conn's passes
were the only two he has attempted
in mis- college career.
Both scoring tosses were in the
last period and until then the
Golden Hurricane was holding the
slightly favored Hilltoppers in check
and looked the winner after its first
period score. Aside from those scor-
ing marches, the Hoyas got past
midfield only once and then only
to the Tulsa 43 early In the second
period.
Conn's payoff passes were to End
George Benigni early in the final
period on play that covered 43
yards and to End Frannie Desmond
on a 14-yard play. Dick Haesler
converted after the first touchdown.
The Hurricane counted in the open
ing frame when Paul Barry, a 190-
pound halfback, crashed 2 yards
through his left guard.
The Georgetown victory was SINH
lar to last years when two passes
beat Tulsa, 1910. 1t also was the
first victory this season for the
Hoyas after losses to Holy Cross and
Boston College and 1t ran Tulsa s
losing string to four.
Hoyas Weak at Outset.
Early in the game the Hoyas ap-
peared disorganized, playing as they
did without their ace back, Babe
Baranowski, who broke his collar
bone last week, and Vic Banonis
team captain and center, who was
left behind for disciplinary reasons
Benigni, who caught one of the
touchdown passes, was appointed
game captain.
The Hoyas reorganized themselves
and got going better as the game
progressed, and at the end they
were playing top brand of ball.
