RUGBY TEAM WINS TILT WITH BOSTON

Owing to the combined reasons of illness and a rush of business caused by the war, the New York Rugby Club was unable to get away to meet the rugby fifteen on Saturday. This was to be the decisive test to the Crimson's claim to the throne in the Eastern Rugby Union. Unfortunately it will be impossible to play the game at a latter date.

Instead, the rugby team met the far from weak Boston Rugby Club and emerged the victors by a 16 to 0 score. With this win in what was the final tilt of the year, the Cabotmen have extended their undefeated record another season, making it two in a row.

Unable to get underway in the first frame, the ruggers reached pay dirt only once, with Tiger Smith taking the scoring honors. But in the second half the Crimson offense began rolling with Phil Strong, George Ditz, and Marsh Holleb each collecting three points. Conversions by Dave Colwell after the first and last tally brought the total to sixteen. Although the Boston Club seriously threatened several times in both periods, they were unable to cross the final stripe.

Saturday's tilt was the farewell appearance of six men, among them Dave Colwell and Captain George Ditz, making a serious loss which will be difficult for Sid Cabot to replace next year.
