Evening star., 1922-11-26

At the beginning of the game Mary
land kicked off to Catholic UniTer-
sity and after the first five minutes it
was apparent that il was the stronger
team. The Brooklanders were unable
to gain and forced to kick. Pugh
caught the punt and ran back j
yards. 1t was Maryland'S ball OF.
its own 35-yard line and it start"d d
Ieeling off first downs-eot three
consecutivcly and then suffered a Ia
yard penalty.
Groves attempt at drop-kick went
wide, and. after two futile rush"s
with the ball. Catholic L. again punt
ed. and Maryland started another
rush toward the goal This time Ii
was not to be denied, and. after Sc
rieS of rushes and forward passes,
MCQuade took the ball across on a
plunge through center
Makes Long Advances.
After the teams changed goals and
Maryland got the high wind at its
back it took the ball down the field
on straight rushes and then within
c. Us 2O-.ard line opened up and
got the ball across twice on wide
open piays-one triple pass and the
other forward.
And on the fourth touchdown it
placed the ball on the 4yard line as
a result of consecutive forward pass
ing. in which Groves. Burger and
Young were on the receiving end.
In the second half there were Sev-
eral substitutions for the College
Parksrs. and as the game wore ON
more men were sent in. until a com
plete set of second string men, with
the exception of Burger. played
through the fourth quarter a 20
yard dash by Bosiey. d 3o-yard gam
by Young after catching Il forward
pass and a 50-yard sprint by Gur"-
vioh for 4 touchdown after receiving
q forward pass We're the features OF
the final portion.
Catholic University got in its best
work at the beginning Of the second
half. 1t received the kickoff and
tore off three consecutive first downs
De Nault carrying th- ball on wide
runs around end for the most Of the
gains. However. on Maryland A.
yard line. the offensive halted when
Eesley intercepted forward pass
from a spread formation.
Plays Great Foot ball.
Maryland put up perhaps the best
game it has ever played against a
Catholic University eleven. and to il
OF course goes full measure of credit
for its exhibition. but to one {. L.
man should be given the palm for
as fine an exhibition Of gameness and
defensive play as mas ever bttll seen
on local srid.ron. That man is Ed
Lynch who played end on offensive
and who backed up the line in the
fullback's position on defense.
1t was for his work in backing up
the line that he is to be most highly
commended On practically every
play two Maryland men Were driving
at the Brookland captain. Yet he
stuck manfully TO his task ard played
brilliant foot ball despite the terrible
physical beating he took. 1t was not
until late in the fourth quarter
that he was forced to give way TO Il
substitute ard when he walked off
the field an unusual thing happened
when players on the Maryland bench
applauded him.
There We're other c. L. men. too.
who played good foot ball. but
against the slashing driving machine
to which they were opposed as Il
team they were helpless.
Groves, Maryland quarterback. prob
ably played the best game of his
career, and he has only one more CON
test in which to appear in Maryland
suit. He drove his team down the
field with well directed plays and
then. when the c. L. defense had
closed up. opened with variations
which nearly always caught the c. L.
secondary defense mapping. Incl
dentally. Groves played stellar role
in receiving passes. department of
play in which he has always stood
head and shoulders above the aver
age.
