Maryland's defensive play through
ouE the engagement was of the high
est order one of Penn's two success
ful shots being a haphazard try from
near the middle of the field that
reached its mark much to the sur
prise of both teams and the onlook-
ers- In fact, the attempt was made
from such distance that il was with
difficulty that one athletic expert on
the side lines was convinced that
point was scored.
According TO two lacrosse authori-
ues who were present. and we are
calling them such advisedly although
ihey are scarce in this neck of the
woods. Maryland'S failure to win by
a more decisive margin was because
IS attack men were prone to hold
the bali too long instead of passing
with rapldity. That this fault must
and viii be eraGicated before the Old
Liners clash with the Naval Academy
team in Central High School Stadium
next saturday goes without saying
1here was plenty of action in yes
terday's game. although Maryland
scored quickly and never was headed
!1oweEer, Penn always was too close
iof the comfort OF the Old Line root
ers and there were many cases of
heart palpitation during the battle.
Maryland got away to a brilliant
ana nying start by scoring within
Inc nTst minute. Gaining the ball on
y.
BY a clever display OF teamwork,
registered as quickly as the sphere
could be ferried down the field Lewis.
Inc Maryland in home. made a neat
pass to Heidelbach and the diminu-
tive Old Line first attack man dashed
in and banged the ball against the
netting.
Heideibach Scores Again.
The Old Liners were not long in
adding second point, and Heidel-
bach again made the unerriug shot
RMS time IT was a scintillating piece
OF individual effort that told. Shoot
ing his stick high in the air HeidelA
bach intercepted a Penn pass from
behind the goal and before a Red and
, Blue player could make an attempt
to stop him he propelled the rubber
pellet TO the counting spot.
Penn's defense tightened materially
after these two points had been reg
iStered, and their efforts to break up
the Maryland attack resulted in the
old Liners slowing up in their rapid
fire passing that had proved so ef-
fective at the outset.
The Quakers also took a turn at
attacking and got back in the run
ming when Leth by clever lodging
came about midway of the opening
half. and the teams battled desper-
ately without scoring for the remain
ing fifteen minutes, with Maryland
having the greater chances.
Branner shoots Coal.
Brauner, who played a strong game
at out home for Maryland, put the
Old Liners two to the good early in
the second half, when he was given
the ball for a shot after a series of
maneuver!ng by the College Park at
tackers. He banged the pellet to its
mark with enough velocity to have
carried it quarter of a mile.
Penn strove futilly to score for
more than twenty minutes in this
half, but was getting only an occa-
sional opportunity However, Whitmer
added a point for the Quaker late in
the play by making a put-shot from
near midfield and thereby again
created anxiety in the ranks of the
Maryland adherents. Marden, though,
soon put the Old Line partisans at
case by being on the scoring end of
an array of Maryland passes. and
after that the Quakers did not get
near the goal.
Except for the slowing up of the
attack men in their passing, the en-
tire Old Line team played well, with
Marty, Brewer, Hough and Branner
doing exceptional work.
