  Mont 5 98- Yard Run Caps Rough Battle; |Iuryn Is Banished BALTIMORE, Nov. 16.-Tommy Mont led the University Of Mary land to q 24–⁠7 victory over WASH ington and Lee at the Municipal Stadium today, wrapping UP his own ball game with q 98-yard touchdown sprint on q pass interctption In the third quarter The Old Liners led in this rough and tumble contest before q sparse crowd OF about 1900 by 60 when Vic Turyn was banished for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second period. Mont came In and with the change in quarterbacks the Old Liners trouble with the Washing ton and Lee line evaporated. He pushed them all the way for Q ~ yard touchdown drive and 1870 lead ut the half. Mont’s Kick Blocked. Early In the third quarter the Generals Paul Cavalier blocked one Of Mont,s kicks on the Il and scored on pass from Charlie Harrington to Brian Bell. Bell caught the pass as he fell, only the ball and his head and shoulders across the goal line. Riley’s conversion was good and the score stood at 1871. A fine 36-yard run by Harrington later In the period put the Cen erals In scoring position once again as the heet Washington and Lee back scampered, almost without blocking. from his own 81 to the Maryland a. Line plunges set up a first down on the IS and the Gen. erals were at the II when Harrington got on pass into the nat which looked good for touchdown and at least q one-point lead. Bell was waiting to receive when Mont sneaked around behind him on the 2-yard line. grabbed the ball. and sped down the sidelines. Only one block was necessary to clear his path from the point of interception to the end zone. That block was thrown, and the Terps enjoyed an 1877 lead. Gambino Breaks Loose. Maryland’s fourth-quarter score came almost as an anticlimax. An exchange Of kicks and some solid line plunging put the Old Liners on the Generals IS, when Lou Gambino broke loose around left end and went across untouched. Penalties, dealt out heavily tn both sides in scrappy contest, cost Maryland 100 yards. The Old Liners, showing q crisp. business-hke execution Of the T. formation, held the offensive edge over their lighter opponents all the way. The Generals aerial attack. paced by Dick Working, failed to dent Maryland’s determined defense in three Of the four quarters. although Working and Harrington between them missed connection on important ones at several points by narrow margins. - The Terps’ first score came as result Of Turyn’s passing eye. The Generals repulsed the first scoring threat and kicked out of trouble, but q Turyn-C -Crosland team took the ball to the IS and a Turyn- Massey pass finished the job. w. & L. Drive Falters. Washington and Lee got q drive under way in the second quarter but 1t faltered on the is. Several kick exchanges followed as the play settled down. Then the Turyn incl dent developed in which the officials apparently believed the MARYLAND quarterback was using his fists In sideline dispute, involving five or six players. Maryland’s superiority was shown IN the statistics. IL Maryland first downs to 5, 352 yards gained to 165, 10 out of 13 passes completed al fva In n <,,A – a
