    Terps Run, Pass ‘Co|onhi|s Dizzy For Fourth Win Only One Scoring Biz Is Made by Losers; 1904 Look on Light rain and a heavy producton of Maryland touchdowns descended on George Washington’s outclassed football team yesterday at Griffith Stadium. A chilled crowd Iof l6,034 saw the Terps strike quickly for their first touchdown, then manufacture scores with assembly consistency en- route to crushing the Colonials, 47–⁠0. Maryland gave G. w. U. variety in its scoring technique. Vic Turyn passed three touchdown passes and Johnny Idzik another in aerial assaults ranging from 3 yards to “a. Hubie Werner dashed II yards to score. Johnny Baroni raced 63 yards with a kickoff into pay dirt and Stan Lavine romped SO yards to score after hauling in a punt.

That play. covering II yards, set up Maryland’s fourth touchdown. That G.W.’s homecoming affair was blghted was evident in the first few plays of the game. Idzik took the opening kickoff, returned SO yards to G.W.’s 48 and Maryland was off to its fourth victory in five games. A series OF stabs at George Washington line carried Maryland to the 3, where Turyn fired to End Elmer Wingate in the end zone with less than five minutes elapsed.
