the heart of Maryland. and especially
at College Parks there is much rejoic-
ing and the burningsof red fire tonight
because in their annual game of foot
ball at Homewood Field Maryland
state College defeated the greatly
touted Johns Hopkins team of many
college stars by 81 to 0. ~
State aided and abetted by the great
all-round playing OF Brewer and his
educated toe collected thirty of the
ffty-four points scored by the boys
from down the State. Brewer wss TIE
necessary to make the required dis
tance he was here, there and every
where.
This is the fifth annual game be-
tween these two teams in which
Hopkins has been unable to cross the
state goal line. Last year Hopkins
won by q drop kick. Hopkins was
only able to negotiate one first down
in the first half and was on an on
side kick, which Brown recovered.
In the second half Hopkins regis
tered two first downs, once by for
ward pass and the last one by plunges
through the line, when they carried
the ball twelve yards in four rushes.
After two rushes into the line, Hop
kins resorted to the kicking game, in
which Brewer proved the superior OF
Brooks.
Both teams attempted the forward pass
several times but 1t was not a good
ground gamer as the ground was slip
perry and the man supposed to catch
the ball could not get to 1t.
Johns Hopkins opened the game by
kicking on to Capt. Oberlein, who re-
turned the ball ten yards before he was
downed. On the second down Brewer
kicked and Hopkins Immediately re-
turned the kick. Brewer made five
yards through left tackle, Leadbetter and
Fletcher made 1t first down. After a
march of fifty yards Fletcher went
through the line for the first score and
Smith kicked the goal.
Hopkins again kicked of to Michael and
on a delayed pass, Brewer showed his
heels to the entire Hopkins team with a
run of seventy-five yards. Smith kicked
an easy goal. Hopkins then made an on
side kick the only first down it gained
during this period. Hopkins fumbled on
its own forty-yard line and Kispaugh
recovered the ball.
With another march for forty-flve yards
down the field Brewer went over the line
with the third score Of the period and
Smith kicked goal making the score q
to 0. The period ended with the ball in
States possession on Hopkins one-yard
line.
In its attempt to rush the ball over
the line Fletcher fumbled but recovered
and went over the line for the fourth
touch. On an exchange Of punts Brewer
covered thirty yards after catching one
Of Brooks boots and Oberlein intercepted
a forward pass on States thirty-five yard
line. The half ended with the ball in
States possession in midfield-score 81
to o.
During the third period Brewer made
The most spectacular run of the game
when he took one of Brooks punts from
his own ten-yard line the entire length of
the field for a touchdown.
Most Of the game the ball was in Hop
kins' territory and the teams was on the
defense all Of the time. States goal was
never in danger, as Hopkins was neve''
nearer than the forty-five yard inc.
State was a perfect machine and run its
plays with precision and formed its in
reference quickly and was in motion
before the Hopkins team could diagnose
the play.
a great deal of credit for the perform
ance. for it was one of the cleanest games
of the season and hardest fought. Smith,
Fletcher, and Michael were always in the
way Of some tackler who was after the
man with the ball and presented great
interference. Kishpaugh and Posey were
| able to handle the big tackle Of Hopkins
Leadbetter and he was badly mussed and
showed all over the field. In the last
period State had almost an entire substi-
tute team in the field which accounts for
the small number of touchdowns made in
this period. Lineup and summary:
