Doolan, tearing of 46 and % yard runs for touchdowns. and Dornfeld ripping off stable gains and punting and passing as If to Guido his widely publicized classmate, were the twin sparkplugs that made the Hoyas click. From the very outset it was APP parent that Maryland was a cooked gosling. but the Old Liners paid scant attention to the tremendous ODDS and pounds of Georgetown beef stacked against them and dug in with a will. Every one of them gave their best, and it simply wasn’t good enough to stem the stampede OF the hustling Hoyas. One of the reasons it wasn’t enough was Joe Murphy’s presence on the bench, where Coach Jack Faber judiciously parked him until the flral period because of a DAM aged ankle. When Lii Joe did move into action it merely was to throw pass, kick the longest punt of the afternoon – SO yards – and run around for exercise. Terps Cross Midfeld Twice.

Maryland came across the 50-va~I stripe only twice during the afte-noon and spent the rest of the e. minutes shooing Hilltoppars away from Its own goal line. The Terms reached Georgetown’s 80 in the sec ono period on a 27-yard pass from Bernie Ulman to Elmer Rigby. and again late in the final stanza when another brace of passes, plus hard running over tackle, brought them ~ yards to Georgetown’s 9. Here the Hoyas dug in and hurled them back to the 20-yard line, where they took the ball on downs.
