all the scoring done during the day.
Tech Fights to End.
Merely because Maryland was lead
ing did not mean that the Techs
were done. Their valiant attack in
that final period was wonderful to
witness. 1t failed. but before time
was called the Blacksburg conting-
ent fought their way sixty.five yards
down to Maryland's goal line and,
with seconds left to play, failed on
desperate forward pass across the
goal line.

Lines An Even Thing.
1t was an even thing, the fight in
the line. MARYLAND seemed stronger
on it's left side and so did Virginia.
Captain Tilson was in the middle OF
everything, especially on attack,
knitting through and taking men out
Of the play in fine style. Big Nesbit,
the Maryland tackle, was doing the
same thing for his team on the
other side OF the line. 1t was pretty
to watch those two veterans play
ing real games at tackle.
Virginia showed excellent inter
ference in bringing back kicks. much
better than Maryland offered. It's
closeup formation in rushing the
ball. while not appearing powerful,
was effective enough, the man with
the ball sort of crowding his way
through the hole. Maryland's inter
ference lacked cohesion. Otherwise.
Brewer might have torn off some
long runs. AZ it was he did very
well.
Maryland's opening kickoff was
brought back twenty yards by the
speedy Sutton to midfield. and Virginia
started on a plunging attack that
brought the leather 10 Maryland's 2
yard line without loss. II was mostly

fine exhibition OF line-plunging, Hess, |
Wallace and Gettle taking turns in |
grabbing off anywhere from s to is
yards. Taking possession Of the ball
on punt on Maryland's 35.yard line, |
the Techs slowly but surely battled |
their way to the 15-yard line.
Maryland here stiffened. and the dis. |

head cut, but with a bandage applied |
In a hurry, remained In the game. |
Short plunges off tackle finally had
the ball on the 2-yard line, and Wallace
fought his way over for touchdown.
His goal from touchdown gave the
Techs the lead, to 0.
Maryland Wins Gamo.
The remainder OF the second period |
resulted in nothing, several booming |
punts exciting the big crowd. Mary
land came TO life in the third period,
winning the game then and there.
Sutton brought back the Maryland |
kickoff eighteen yards to his own s3
