II was after the next kickoff that
Maryland got the ball and kept up
procession of ground gaininS plays
that Vale was never able to stop. The

punt Adams and Leatherman
blocked the punt and the former re-

signal was missed the play failed,
and Yale got the ball six inches from
it's goal
The second score came in the sec
ond quarter when kessler caught a
punt on his own 3O-yard line and ran
through the whole Yale team to the
l5-yard mark This time the visitors
were not to he denied, and after two
line plays had been held. stevens
dropped back and dropkicked the ball
squarely between posts for more
points.
Maryland gained more ground than
Yale during the remainder of the sec

real scoring position. The half ended
with the count standing q to 0.
When the second half opened Yale
seemed to he all set and popped up to
go out and win. Twice in the last
three years Maryland has led at the
end of the half. but lost I'm the second.
This time. though. different story

Yale Held for Downs.
Yale received the kickoff and
Decker who is a real back. by the

The ball went to Maryland, and.
without losing possession of it again,
it carried on toward the goal line
with double passes, fake passes and
two aerial heaves. until Thomas
finally dived over left tackle right
between the goal posts for the second
touchdown
Yale began to make rapid shifts and
take desperate chances, but could not
get away with any consistent results.
Maryland had Yale's vaunted for

Undoubtedly Maryland gained about
four times as much eround on Iale's
forward passes as the Blue gained for
itself
Once in A while clever Yale back
broke through the Maryland forward
wall, but his progress soon was rallied
by alert backs. And A good many
more times than Yale backs broke
through were they smeared for losses
by the ends and tackles. Tale's backs
seemed clever, but apparently could
not get started. And once Stone got
free only to be caught from behind
by Thomas, after he had gone 20

space of 10 seconds the play would
shift from one end OF the field to the
