THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1929. | : ~ PRINCETON-HARVARD GAME THIS WEEK’S BIG FOOTBALL E e SS ee RUTGERS ELEVEN RE-MADE FOR GAME WITH LOUISIANA ‘Soach Sanford Does Rush Job Getting New Brunswick Boys Ready for Southerners at Polo Grounds To-Morrow—W. & Js Victory a Triumph for Modern Football—Nebraska Defeat Upset of Season. By William Abbott. George Foster Sanford did a rush job getting Rutgers ready for the game with Louisiana to-morrow at the Polo Grounds. In one week the veteran coach ,re-made the New Brunswick eleven. New men were hur- riedly pressed hnto service to fill the places of disabled regulars. Intensive coaching worked wonders and Sanford now is confident the team that faces the strong Southerns will measure up to Rutgers’s standards.

A) gers opposed West Virginia a team that triumphed over Pittsburgh. The Jerseymen were none too strong phys- {eally for that encounter, but after the game their squad looked like a fleld hospital. The casualty, list included everyone but two regulars. Realizing his first-string combination could not possibly recover within several weeks Coach Sanford set about to assemble almost an entire new team. Capt. Raub, the giant tackle who was ma- terially slowed up by bruises, was shifted to a guard position. Tho re- serve squad was raided and Sanford began a hurry-up task of transform- ing inexperienced material into a var- ulty combination, Favorable progress was made in practice last week and Indications are that Rutgers will give a good account of itself against Louisiana, which comes North boasting of one of the best teams on the other side pf the Mason and Dixon line. Rutgers football situation Is one of the most exceptional anywhere in the country. While ranked asx only a small institution it is compelled to go far outside its class for opponents. ‘Under the guidance of George Foster Sanford thé Jerseymen year after year failed to schedule games with colleges of their own standing. Un- daunted by this situation Rutgers took on powerful opponents like Syra- » This season the South was in- led and arrangements were made Lo on @ long trip crack. W. & J. soon worked another pass for a touchdown, and its win- ning point came on the most daring play the writer has seen anywhere this season when, instead of kicking, Brenkert threw a pretty pass to Kopf for the additional point after the sec- ond touchdown. Lafayette also ed an over- head game, but held it back too long. Toward the finish of the hard-fought battle Lafayette threw passes all over the field, but they lacked the import- ant element of deception, as W. & J. knew exactly what to expect and arranged the defense accordingly. The Series between the two Penn- sylvania rivals now stands three vic- tories for W. & J. and two for Lafay- ette. NEBRASKA DEFEAT UPSET OF THE SEASON. The most startling upset of a sea- son already noted for reversals was Syracuse's 9 to 6 viet over Nebraska, heralded as the ‘‘wonder team" of the country. Against Syra- cuse the Westerners showed little else but, size. The Nebraska team is forfhed of giants, but evidently they still have a great deal to learn about smart football. After Saturda: showing against Syracuse, Nebraska undoubtedly is in line for another trimming on Thanks- giving Day when Notre Dame will be tackled. PENN'S DEFEAT BOOMERANG THE CITY OF SVRACUSR MAY RECOVER BUT IT WILL NEVER Look THE Same: Mud! MUD! Huot DEEGAN WINS ROAD RUN. W. Deegan led a fleld of harriers over a four-and-one-half-mile course in the invitation road run of the St. Anselm A. C. yesterday afternodn.

Up there om top of the grandstand, in the press row, we had watched Princeton slow~ ly beaten back down tho field time and again, unable to stem the terrifi¢ smashes of the Chicago line and thé furious plunges of the Chicago backs.

Heisman spent years coaching Southern teams, There 1s little jn football in that part of the country that escapes Heisman. So when mapping out Penn's sched- ule this year Heisman purposely went South for most of his opponents. Heisman's plan seemed safe enough when Alabama came to West Point and lost to the Cadets in the last few minutes on forward passes.

Columbia was outclassed by Cor- nell, Eddie Kaw, Cornell's ace of halfbucks, made sport of the Blue and White defense. In the first quarter Kaw made u run of 35 yards, in the second 36 yards, in the third 85 yards, in the fourth 60 yards. Two of these wzling dashes were for touchdowns. ‘8 punting and passing were su- perior to Columbia's. Pfann, Ithacan quarter, andgRamsey, half, vied with Kaw for brifiant work at ground gaining. The former is credited with two touchdowne, the latter three. The vest that can be sald for Co- lumbia’s athletes is that they fought valiently. KICKING OF WEATHERDON, FEATURE OF N. Y. U.

The commit- tee announced that the national open champion requested a new contract for 1923 which would have concluded a flat ry of $5,000, the profit on the sale of supplies, and permission to absent himself without notice to attend tournaments and play exhibition matche: It is understood that Sarazen Il announce shortly that he will accept an offer made to him by the Westchester-Biltmore Club of Rye, N.Y. Members of the Highland Club committes stated that the money involved was not the chief rea: in for rejecting Sarazen's de- mand. They felt that the young champion would not be able to worve the club more than two or three weeke next season, provided out hie tentative plane for tournaments, exhibitions and a trip to England. J the breaks of the game appetred to DELAWARE VICTORY OVER Stevens's surprising defeat by Dela- ware was a disappointment to the Although Stev- ens’s offense frequently had the bat! they were unable to score. Delaware scored on a trick shift-play, which sent Et- McDonald laghan and McCaf- while Laverie, centre, was the strong- Nebraska side of the stands became delirious with joy, ‘Tate’ Matters, a former tackle on the Western team, leaped from his seat and dashed down the fleld to grab the blanket from the placid white nanny-goat securely tied at one end of the gridiron, Thom- sen’s run was the only bit of color in a game that promised much. The highly touted eleven which came out of the West is not deserving, how- ever, ofthe panning some of the critics have given it. The crux of the whole thing is that the Cornhuskers ran afoul of one of the best teams in the country. Almost impregnable in Its defense, nothing save the most brilliant open play could have won against Meehan's worthies. There is nothing individually spec- tacular in the Syracuse line-up. There Is apparently no need of it. But as a fighting unit and for co-ordination Chick's team should tuke the solid rubber trophy. Without detracting a whit from the Syracuse victory, well earn the score might have been 0-0. was nothing of the spectacular out-thinking of the other fellow on the strategy and finesse of the game. It was more of the brute stuff and geyil-take-the-hindmost, Neither side was effective at the for- ward passing game.

Nebraska might b said to have lost {ts game through a penalty. Aside from the first three points Syracuse earned in the first five minutes of play, and they belonged to her by right of conquest, her second scoring was due to an offside penalty which bronght the ball to Nebraska's five- yard line with four downs to go, With vistory In sight the Meehan machine smashed the crimson tne and on the third down Andorson of (he Orange carried the ball over the line, Me- Bride fatled by a few inches to boot the leather for an additional point, and the score was 9 to 6, Nebraska waa unable to come back in the remaining minutes of play. by fast, clever playing. during the last few minutes of play The Syracuse team that defeated the} “As it was purely a que8tion of mis- Cornhuskers could have taken Penn|t#ke in the rules, 1 felt compelled to State Into camp without a doubt, Ne.| sue public statement. — You will braska may have been greatly over- |fotice that Sa ici Moje} : score rated—sometimes the press agent] +1 feel considerable doubt In my mina does paint a vivid word picture en- Jowing men and things with super- human power and then we discover they are “even as you and I ner or not a referee would ght to change the result of game at any time after the final whistle had blown, though you will re: member that Bill Langford did so sev- eral years ugo on the same feld. “In order to sceure an official opinion on this point, 1 have written Mr. B.
