SYACUSE HANDS RUTGERS A BAD DRUBBING New York, Nov. 4—Syracuse univer- sity defeated Rutgers college in their annual football game at the Polo grounds this afternoon by a score of 14 to 0. The Orange eleven proved entirely too strong, both_offensively and defensively, for the New Jersey combination, and the Syracuse goal line was in danger on only one occa- sion, when Baker, the Rutgers quaf- terback, intercepted a forward pass and sprinted into a clear field, only to be brought to gréund by Ackley, who overtook him after a long run. Play during the first two periods was confined almost entirely between the two 25 yard lines. In the third period Syracuse uncovered a puzzling overhead attack which quickly scored when Abbott's lateral pass to Ackley was in turn thrown 35 yards forward to Schwarzer, who dashed across the line for a touchdown, from which Ackley kicked goal. With Hutgers' secondary defense forced to play far back to guard against this for of advance, Syracuse in the final neriod gained half the lensth of the field on two successive end runs and battered its way over the last 10 yards for its second touchdown by Erwig. which Ackler again turned into a goal. .

Not since the days when John L. Sullivan jauntily sported # the heavyweight crown on his pompadour has this section of the country boast- ed a leader in that division, Start- ing his career in the old days: of bare knuckle fighting 8n the turf, he grad- uated into the mode of Marquis of Queensberry boxing and lost his title to James J. Corbett at New Orleans on September 7, 1892. For 27 years the East has never been able to produce a heavyweight capable of - winning the championship. Following Sullivan upon ™\» throne have been: James J. Corbett, who came from San Francisco; Bob Fitz- simmons of Australia; James J..Jef- fries of Los Angeles; Marvin Hart, recognized successor to Jefferies when | the latter announced his retirement from the ring, who hailed from Louis- ville; Jack Johnson of Galveston, Tex.; Jess Willard of Kansas and Jack Dempsey, whose home is now in Utah. Thus have seven champions blazed their way along the heavyweight trail since it was last trod by a man claiming the East as his home. And city and claims it as his home town. At this time there ® no Eastern championship prospect doing busin in_the ‘division. i In other boxing divisions this sec- tion of the country has not fared so Qrlea; weight, Johnny Kilbane, of| htweight, Benny Leonard, New| | | 7 | _ Welterweight, | York B Middlewtight, Mikg O'Dowd, T, Jack Britton, New St. yweight, New York. yweight, Battljng Levin- Jack Dempsey, Falt Lake Some there may be who, will take exception to including Jack Britton among those representing the as he formerly made his home in C having started boxing while a shoy in that city, but for the last several years Britton has lived in this part of the country.
