Five thousand people saw Rutgers tally its second triumph. Rutgers made fourteen first downs to ten for Albright. Capt. Tex Rosen scored one of the touchdowns in the. third quarter, and Walt Stager, substituting for Irwin at half back, crossed the line once in both the second and third period.

Bert Harris scored the extra point on a place kick after touchdown. OUT OF MAINE New Oct. 6. Although Yale accumulated 27 points and blanked the University of Maine in opening the season in the Bowl before 21,000 people, the visitors from the Pine Tree state furnished a stubborn opposition, reached tha Yale 10 yard line late in the second period, advanced the ball for eleven first downs and held Yale to sixteen and gained a total of 164 yards to only 275 for the Elis. Maine Pass Puzzle Elis.

The Downeasters worked a forward pass, with Quarterback Lyman Abbott at the tossing end and either Col tart, or Captain Buzaell at the receiving station, which bj.ffled the Yale defense in mid-field throughout the matinee. When Yale reached it'g 10 yard mark, however, the Maine attack faltered and on an incomplete lateral pass, Maine was forced to surrender the ball on downs. In the third period Moran, on a fake play, gained thirty yards at center and Abbott's- toa to Black put the bail on the Yaie so yard yard line out on murm uuwu Maine punted. In the final period Maine reached the Yale 40 yarl line on another forward pass bu the next was intercepted. Yale's ground-gaining machina whs at its best in the first period.

Johnny Garvey and Johnny lloben alternated in covering sixty-five yards for Yale's first score. Garvey leaped over center seven yards for Yale's first touchdown. Receiving the ball at Maine's 27 yard line on a short punt by Abbott with a minute of the initial period remaining, Yale's attack yielded an immediate score when Garvey split right tackle for Yale's second touchdown. Main slightly outplayed Yale in the second period through the dazzling combination of Abbott-Coltart-Buzzell forward passes. Maine made five first downs to Yale's four, and Ellis failed to threaten the Maine goal.

A HIGH-GEARED, ultramodern football machine the 1928 Meehan model from the gridiron laboratories of New York university functioned with smoothness and precision at Ohio field yesterday afternoon and rolled over a well moulded West Virginia Wesleyan product, 26 to 7.

A crowd of 17,500 that overtaxed the limited capacity of the boxlike wooden stands and took up every available inch of standing room, saw the great Violet warriors score four touchdowns before the outclassed opposition got started. Ken Strong-, Beryl Follet, Al Lassman, Jinx O'Herin, Ken Roberts and even the pint-sized Ilenny Hormel, all familiar faces ii i ii i i .7 on university neignus, conn iuuwju was much too hot for anybody to become imhued with much real football spirit and-I report in the same breath that the fever was not rampant in the playing ranks. Lots of Fumbles. The weather started an epidemic of fumbles because it is quite a difficult trick to hold onto a pig- Ken Strong Al Lassman Help those Violets bloom. skin with sweaty fingers.

There were fully half a dozen minor penalties meted out to both sides for offside play and other pardonable- minor infractions. It was apparent even to the damsels in the stands early in the first period that Mr. Meehan would not have to sit on the bench with a troubled mind. Hardly had the late arrivals seated themselves than the Violet juggernaut rolled down the field for the first touchdown. Young Follet put the finishing touch to an uninterrupted march by taking the ball over from the 15 yard line.

Ken Strong booted the extra point and the panic was on. Rodriguez Kicks WelL A little fellow by the name of Rodriguez caused the Violet a great deal of annoyance in the second period by making long punts just when it appeared the Wesleyan line was about to fold up. As a result Strong had to match him kicks, bo there was no scoring. In the third period, however, the fleet-footed backs began leaping through holes cut for them by their powerful linemen and a second touchdown was made on three successive downs when O'Herin shoved his 185 pounds through from the 2 yard mark. Strong came through with another beautiful kick from placement and the count was 14 to 0.

The visitors showed about as much resistance in the final period as a corn shock in a hurricane so after the Violet crossed the line twice more, Meehan, who was probably moved by a humanitarian spirit lifted most of his regulars from the lineup and gave his colts a chance. Mountaineers Score on Subs. It was during, this period that the badly beaten and not too peppy Mountaineers saw a chance to save themselves from the ignominy of a scoreless defeat and crashed into the scoring column. This was simple procedure. They started advancing the ball i i 1 gain against Columbia.

Hamilton plunged for a touchdown and Liflander added the extra point.

Syracuse university steam rollered William and Mary college here today and piled up a score of 32 to 0 before a crowd of 10,000.

The Orangemen ran wild in the first quarter, scoring two touchdowns. Another was scored in the second and one in the fourth. Kumpf and Liflander Have a Field Day At Baker Field With Hank Kumpf and Phil Liflander featuring the attack, Columbia's football team crushed Union with ease at Baker field yesterday afternoon. The final score wat 27 to 0, and at half time the Lions led 13 to 0. The upstaters offered no serious opposition and with a few fortunate breaks Columbia could easily have run up a larger score.

Shortly after the second period tfi.j ou: began Liflander replaced Sheridan passing to round out the performance. It was his 25 yard run through Navy's left tackle after he and his mates had carried the ball in a "steady march down the field that furnished Boston its margin of victory. In the final period, with Navy on the 12 yard line, Murphy jumped high in the air to intercept Lloyd's pass. Just one plunge at the line and the game was over.

The Bostonians scored late in the first period and then held the Middies at critical times to maintain their advantage which came with Weston's touchdown. The Bostonians did not let Lloyd, Navy's star back, get started.

It was not until the third quarter that Navy showed anything like a chance to win. Then a second team, with Castrie taking the star role, ploughed through the New Englanders, only to have their play stopped when within scoring distance. Weston, Boston's quarterback, was the outstanding player on the field. One of the hardest running backs that has been seen in action against a Navy team here, he ploughed the line and ran the tackles and ends and did some.
