The Maryland stands were speech
less with dismay and the North Caro-
lima side was wild. But 1t lasted only
a short time. Maryland again kicked
off and this time stopped Mcpherson

Unusual Scoring.
It is doubtful If any other foot ball
game ever was played in which the
contending teams each made touch
down on the first play after it first
got possession of the ball. Two
plays. 153 yards gained, two touch
downs.
Maryland's otker score also came
in the first quarter. A blocked kick
gave It the ball on the 2O-yard line.
A play through tackle gained 4
yards and on the second a forward
through and the latter stepped across
the line without hindrance. Kessler
again kicked the goal.
A little later in the quarter Mary
land came near another touchdown,
when it carried the ball So yards to
Carolina's 1O-yard mark, only to lose
it when a forward pass was fumbled
on the goal line on fourth down.

on the 4-yard line, with four more
chances to get 1t over. The Old Line
forward met each onslaught with a
stubbornness that could not be over
come and they took the ball away
on downs and kicked out of danger.
In the fourth quarter North Caro-
lima intercepted a forward pass on
Maryland's 45-yard mark and on two
passes and an end run reached the
1S-yard line. A forward pass across
the goal was grounded and Maryland
got the ball on the 20-yard line on
a touchback. These were the only
times the Tarheels, got within real
scoring distance, except on that first
long run.
The game was noteworthy for long
runs. The two longest were con-
