state Wins Maryland Title.
Maryland State beat Johns Hopkins
yesterday in Baltimore in the final
game for the championship of Mary
/ land by IA to 0. The greatest crowd
. in Maryland was present. 1t was vari-
| ouslv estimated at from $4,000 to
| Is 900. The game was the cleanest
ever played between the two inst,
i buttons and was marked by sp1endld
/ spirit on the part Of the members of
! both elevens.
| State worked double passes and for
! ward passes for long gains. Double
! passes worked consistently and two
! of the three forward passes tried were
directly responsible for touchdoWns.
A forward pass from Mackert to
Knode from the 2s-yard line was
caught by the latter eight yards from
the goal line and the State captain
lodged his way past the Hopkins
safety player for the first touchdown
/, was made after 2o-yard pass from
Macdonald to Mackert which put the
ba III on Hopkins 20-yard line.
J Hopkins presented finO backf1eld
| against the Maryland players. but its
line did not play together well enough
! TO cover and it was utterly impossible
| for the Hopkins forwards to open a
/ way even for short distances. through
/ the State line. Tome and Calkins DEM
onstrated, even though they could not
Show many consistent gains, that they
! are about the two best backs in Mary
| land and Jones of Hopkins saved his
team many a yard in the opening half
by some wonderful defensive work.
| states backfield was well covered
by it's line and gained consistently
and in every department outplayed the
opposing backs. Every State back
| gained considerable ground. Mackert
led in plunging through the line, Bos-
ley did the best work in skirting the
ends and Knode got away for big
gains on double passes.
Knode a Real Star.
Knode played his final game for
State, and. while he probably will
not get credit in the Maryland papers
for what he has done. there is not
one iota of doubt that he was the
best an-round back in the state. For
general performances in the backfield
Cor pure versatility in handling him
\ self and the ball. for working in Jas
an interferer and in carrying the
sail. for making and receiving for
ard passes. there were few backs
n the state who measured much
above him in any one of these par
ticulars. and in consideration of them
all there was not back who came
anywhere near being his equal.
He was distinctly a team player
subordinating himself as far as ap.
oearances from the side lines were
concerned, but at the same time al.
yays having delegated to himself the
part in the play which meant success:
VT failure of the play. knode is tn
type of player who never gets ful
! credit for his performances becaus
he is the type never assigned TIN
snowy parts in plays, but always ha
to perform the more or less "unthank
full Jobs. But with all that, he is tn
type of player coach values mos
, highly.
