Winners Relied on Line PIunQes.

In a game replete with fumbles b.
the local team. the University Of Mary
land yesterday defeated the Gallaudet
eleven at Kendall Green by 3 TO g.
The score does not indicate IL. but
the game was hard fought from start 10
finish. and all the touchdowns save one
were the result OF short gains made on
line pluuges. Although Outweighed and
unable 10 stop the fierce assaults made
Ola their line by the Maryland eleven.
the GalIaudet boys fought gamely to the
last, and played with as much enthusi-
asm at the finish as AT the start
Both Could Advance.
Neither side seemed able TO check the
advance of it's opponents, and had il
not been for the repeated fumbiing on
the part OF the mutes, they would GER
tainly have scored.
They We're lighter than the visitors,
but played a fast and snapDy game.
The back field worked well together,
and only twice during the entire game
did the locals lose the ban on downs
Maryland relied chiefly on line plunges
for her gains, learning early in the
game that little was to be made by
emo runs. The backs hurdled the line
repeatedly. and nearly always for short
distances. Haia, at right halfback,
played an exceptionally good game.
Again and again he was called on, and
responded with gains ranging from
three to ten yards. He also played well
on the defensive and checked many a
play which promised a long run. The
playing Of Watts at fullback was also
worthy OF note. Watts is an old, eX-
perienced player, and more than once
displayed his knowledge OF the game
by his skiIlful work.
Relied on Tackles
Gauaudet worked her back field very
little, relying almost entirely on her
two big tackles for gains Close fOrma-
ton and trick plays were also used by
the mutess but netted little success.
Most OF her gains were made by end
runs by the tackles, the men back OF
the line being used TO make a hole. The
Maryland boys seemed unable 70 check /

1t seemed but little trouble for the 1
tackles to make gains Of I'VE and ten /
yards. but they were unable 70 hold the 1
BAH, and Maryland was quick TO take I
advantage of every tumble. On four
separate occasions the mutes got the \
ball and advanced up the field 10 within 4
twenty yards of their opponents goal. I

by a tumble. Garrett, at tackle, played
a strong, clean game, contributing many
yards TO the local team. and breaking
through the Maryland line often. Once.
when a drop kick was tried from the
40-yard line he not only broke through
ana blocked the kick but also fell on

A disagreeable failure attending the
game was the constant cCmDIa ming Of
both sides, Captain Brent, OF the Mary I
landers. was particularly severe in his
denuncla ton Of Gallaudet and the ref
cree Captain Garrett, OF the mutes
was equally torceful in expressing his I
opinion Of the other team and the UNI /
pire. There was a constant wraugIiug
