Maryland University neatly enployed dumfounding aggregation of trick passes, intricate triple laterals behind the line and Shovel heaves” across the scrambling pack, to mire the Florida Gators in the Baltimore mud, 21–0. Down in the Valley Of the Shenandoah v. p. I. was enjoying 10 advantage over Washington and Lee at the start of the fourth period. So the Generals cast all caution to the October zephyrs and staged an air raid in the shadow of their own goal posts. Capt. Monk Mattox tipped brief one to his stalwart end, Charlie Smith, who raced 10 yards for the tying touchdown. When the Gobbler’s full back fumbled the kickoff w. and L. substitute recovered and the winning points were chalked up on the second goal crossing. And so, as in last Saturdays grid encounters, the tide Of many. a battle was turned by the nlerest flip of o wrist, countless scores of games In the seasons second half probably will be decided by the arc Of an inflated pig skin in flight.
