AGG|ES WINNERS
OF SECOND GAME
Another Contest in Maryland
State Foot Ball Race Goes
to Them by 46 to O.
WESTERN MARYLAND
FAILS TO IMPRESS
Upstate Eleven Not as Strong
as Had Been HeraIded.
Easy for M. A. C.'s Backs. y

The Maryland Agricultural Col
lege won its second game in the
race for the state championship
when it gave the Western Mary
land College eleven the worst
beating recorded in recent years
among the state schools. The
score was 46 to o. The game was
M. A. C.'s from the very start,
that being evident after the kick
Oft was received by it at the start
of the contest, and the ball carried
across the upstate teams goal
without the sign of halt.
Western Maryland was out
weighed considerably, though the
heaviest men in the lineup of the
M. A. c. eleven were substitutes.
Notwithstanding that there were
five regulars sitting on the side
lines watching second-string men
fill their places, the Aggies' eleven
began ripping at the opposing line
until it was completely torn to
pieces. Powerful line plays were !
driven over the opposing forwards /
for consistent gains, which aver
aged anywhere from FIVE to twen- /
ty yards. Something of the
strength of the offense shown by
the Farmers is evidenced by the
fact that they were held for downs
but once, and then it was as much
a-poor play on the part of the
quarterback as anything else,
which caused the ball to be turned
over to their opponents.
Result Surprise.
| In view of the fact that the Western
Maryland eleven had expressed the
opinion that they were going to win,
and the Farmers having live of their
regular men out. the Aggies' support
ers were somewhat uneasy before the
contest. but the first few rushes dis

Knede. the regular quarterback was
started but was removed after about
three minutes of play, when the first

took his place. was playing his first
game. but showed that he has the
makings of a good man.
The game started with Western

| The Farmers started a procession of
line plays UP the field from that point
until they crossed the goal Their
work was accurate and their line plays
of such powerful character that it
| was impossible for Western Maryland
! to stop them. After the ball was punt
ed out the goal was kicked by Ship

From that time the Farmers gain
ed ground about as they pleased. only
being held for downs once during tho
entire contest. That was when there
was only half a yard to go on third
down, and Coggins called for an end
| run, on which the runner was thrown,
instead of for a play of tackle or
through the line.
Shipley made about the longest runs
! of any of the M. A. c. backs. but none
| of them failed to gain when they were
given the ball. Loomis got away for
, the longest run of the game when he
intercepted a forward pass near the
center of the field and made a touch
down. Shipley, Hoffecker and Rum
gained ground about as they pleased.
All were consistent in their work and
there was never a. time when they
failed to place the ball ahead Of the
spot 1T was passed from.
Both teams tried the forward pass
several times. and they gained about
the same amount of ground. There was
not a. great deal of success attending
the efforts on this play. but If the
