PLAY BETTER GAME.
Maryland Aggies Show Form
Against Hopkins.
LOSE, THOUGH, BY 6 TO 3
Farmers Should Have Won Game, as
Baltimore Scored on
F1uke.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 21.-The Mary
land Agriculture College foot ball eleven
proved to be no easy prey for Johns
Hopkins this afternoon at Homewood,
and although the local varsity had the
better Of things in the last three-quar
tiers OF the game. the final score showed
a f1uke touchdown on the Hopkins end
and field goal to the credit Of the Ag-
g1es. Fulton kicked goal. and this made
the final result stand to g.
The score for the Black and Blue eleven
came in the second quarter, after Shipley
IN the hrst quarter had put over pretty
held goal. The Aggies attempted a
simulated kick formation, and when the
Dali was fumbled on the 20-yard line
Bishop seized it and. aided by some good
interference on the part of Cuttings, went
the distance to the goal line
In the first quarter the visitors had the
better OF the fight. The field was wet,
and this seemed to help them materially.
Fulton kicked to their 1O-yard line, and
they went down the field, making first
down In a few seconds. Hopkins forced
them to punt, however, but when the
varsity tried to advance end runs were
used almost exclusively and johnson
and Kemp. the two opposing ends, pre-
vented the Hopkins backs from advanc-
ing.
Hopkins Play Ragged.
On the defensive. also in this quarter,
the Hopkins play was ragged, and fun
BILE and a poor attempt at a forward
pass gave the collegians the ball on the
25-yard line. From here shipley tried to
kick a field goal, but it was blocked by
Two minutes later Shipley tried a drop
kick from the same distance as before,
although at a more difficult angie, and
this time it went over.
In the second quarter Hopkins took a
decided brace and forced the fighting.
During this session the ball was in the
Aggies' territory much of the time. 1t
was on their 25-yard line when they
started to work kick formation by
which the fullback is sent through the
line. Vinder dropped back, but somehow
the pass from Koehler rolled On the
ground.
Bishop got through the line, seized the
pigskin. shook off one opposing player
who grabbed him and started for the line.
Cuttings helped him on and the touch
down was scored. Fulton kicked goal.
The game demonstrated to a large de-
gree that the forward pass is not going
to figure much in Maryland foot ball
this year. A number were tried during
the game, but only one was in the least
successful and the gain on this netted
) yards. Most of the advances were
made on line plunges. with various puZ-
Zling formations and in the last quarter
Gillett tore off 20 yards on one Of these,
while Fulton and Bridgman also made
good gains. In the first session. Ship
ley. who played the star game for the
college, made 10 yards around end. The
Hopkins interference was not good and
all of their end runs failed.
The line of the losers played we'll at
all times, and the work of Rowland and
Williams was especially good. Belt, on
the Hopkins line, played a star game.
and Gillett was there with the punting
end. The lineup:
