There were no details about the game other than the score, New Brunswick 5, Rutgers Prep 0.” Source: April 28, 2011 Wall Street Journal
Note: The first dedicated high school facility in New Brunswick, known as Livingston Avenue High School, was built in 1875 (opened spring of 1876) on the Livingston Avenue property where Roosevelt Elementary School currently stands.
