And Andy, delighted at the chance to carry the ball for a change, came through with the longest run of the day, a sixty yard jaunt to the enemy three-yard line, from which Higgins crashed over two plays later. Freshmen Shine But the most heartening phase of the scrimmage was, in Danowski's opinion, the work of the inexperi- enced freshmen linemen who simply refused to act like inexperienced freshmen. The frosh did give up the final two touchdowns which Rutgers was to score but their play was steady and determined throughout. Danowski singled out Ed Chapman; 230 pounds of tackle, for special praise. The overall picture of the Rutgers scrimmage was most encouraging but individually everything was not exactly peaches and cream. Jack Hyatt, the celebrated freshman half- back, failed to show anything. But this, Danowski was quick to point out, is due chiefly to a badly strained back which has not yet completely healed. Another sore spot was the ends, around which Rutgers scored all Gtrpt. Pew/Buskey, MM/e6ury, '38 three of their touchdowns, all, it may be added, on long runs. Two went to the left, one to the right. The latter was a fluke and Danowski Air fnte/ligence, US. dir Force refused to worry about the other two, because that's where Tom Do- lan, currently a baseball outfielder, will be stationed next fall. Blocking Poor But Danowski was really .con- cerned about the Maroons' almost lethargic blocking. This Danowski freely admitted. "The downfleld blocking," he said, "is improved. But it is still far from what it should be." There was one play, early in the action, when a screen pass, Doheny to Higgins, should not have been stopped short of the goal line.
