Yesterday. Today that hope IL

Robb's scrappy men fought to ,ne
last ditch against the heavier and
stronger College Parkers. but FIVE
minutes after the opening kick-off
the handwriting was smeared across
the wall. What 1t finally wrote was
1s 10 o.
-Four thousand fans braved a chill
ing wind to see the old rivals meet
at the American League Park. and
the consensus was that IL Maryland
won on the field. the Brooklanders
were victors in the stands. For I'M

Catholic rooters save the loudest and
pepperiest exhibition seen here this
year.
Maryland Scores Early.
Maryland demonstrated that II had
regular punch. in addition to a
wonderful defense, when the first

have settled the issue. as the Brook
FLANDERS were never able to disrupt
the Maryland defense. But the Byrd
men added field goal in the first
period and another touchdown in the

Sixteen points to the good when
the second half started, the College
Parkers reversed their Stactics and
played defensive game. OF their
defense il is only necessary to say
that II was up to the usual Mary
land standard. Catholic tried vain
ly to start something, but was
baked at every turn.
As a special honor to the Brook
landers. Coach Curley Byrd allowed
Ed Pugh, former Tech High School
star. to go out there. and play
around And but for the honor Of
the thing the Catholic men would
Just as soon have seen Pugh sitting
on the bench.
This raw-boned youngster was
more dangerous than a ton of dy-
, Mantle. and was the backbone of
the offense which ripped OF a pair
of highly-prized touchdowns. Not
since the game with Syracuse had
r'ush been seen in action. He was
hurt on that occasion, but his re-
coEery is evidently complete. There
was nothing of the invalid about
MIN as he smashed through the
Catholic line for long gains.
Brewer Does Some Speeding.
While most of the line plunging
tevolved upon the capable shoul-
GERS of Pugh, Capt "Untz" Brewer
was breaking the speed laws on his |
dashes around the ends. The most |
spectacular performance of the day
was his 35-yard trip through a |
broken field from punt formation |
in the second period. which paved |
the way for the second touchdown.
In addition to his successful drop |
kick. Brewer narrowly missed an
other in the second period. the wind |
carrying the ball wide by the mar
rowest of margins.
Catholics offense assumed q
threatening aspect but once. That
was in the second period. when the |
ball was lost on Maryland's 9-yard |
line on a short forward pass.
Both teams were partial to the |
air route but neither had a very
successful day. Maryland hurled
the ball twelve times and COM
pleted but two passes for a total of
twenty-eight yards. One of these
came in very handily in helping to |
net the first touchdown. Catholics
attempts numbered fourteen. four
of them being completed for nifty |
one yards.
Catholics BADLY Outrushed.
In rushing the ball the edge was
all with Maryland. which made !
twelve first downs against five for |
the Brooklanders. All of the Mary |
land first downs came in the first
half. when they were cutting loose |
with their strongest attack. In
the final half they were content
To Kick on nearly every opportun- |
lily, though il was apparent that
the Catholic defense was decidedly |
better than in the first two periods !
In Danny Curran the Robb ma
chine had a fast travelling and |
elusive back. who was hard to stop
when once under way. He was !
practically the only Maroon player |
who could skirt the Maryland ends |
lat all and even he did 1t only on
bare occasions. He was also a |
great defensive man. Buckley also |
proved to be a good offensive |
