George Washington University and the |
University of Maryland battled for
thirty minutes at University Field yes
terday afternoon without either side
scoring.
This makes the second time within a
week that the Buff and Blue has played
a no-score game, and, strange to say,
the contest last Saturday was also with
a Baltimore team. Last year George
Washington first met Maryland and
neither side scored. Two weeks later
the Washingtonians went to Baltimore
and played Johns Hopkins and again
there was no scoring. These teams have
the rare record of playing for two sea-
sons without either side crossing the
others goal line.
George Washington was handicapped
yesterday by the absence of her captain
and quarterback. Captain Steenerson
was out of the game on account of an
abscess on his arm. Lunsford played
the position during the first half, and
Stevenson in the second half.
