Western Maryland Rolls Up 81 Points
on Eastern College.

Western Maryland defeated Eastern
College, here, Saturday, on College
Field, 81 to 0. Straight football was
the order as far as Western Maryland
was concerned and her backs went
through the visitors line at will and
made long runs around the ends.
Twice the visitors held Western Mary
land for downs and Keller missed
dropkicks by inches. For Western
Maryland the whole line played great
football and Eastern was able to make
only one first down through it. They
made another by the aerial route. The
visitors never were closer to the Meth
odists' goal than the 40-yard line.
Garrett was not in the game long
enough to show any of his wares and
Dent, who took his place, did cred
itably on sweeping and runs. Keller
ran twice for touchdowns from the
S0-yard line and kicked seven goals
from touchdowns. Meyer made three
'touchdowns on forward passes from
Keller. Probably the best work on
the line was done by Langrall al
