save the Generals a 3-to0 triumph
over Maryland.
1t was a bitterly fought battle,
played on A miry field that caused
Coach Curley Byrd to, keep Capt.
Mike Stevens. his backfeld ace, on
the bench throughout the contest.
1t was Washington and Lees home
coming game, and crowd Of about
5000 sat through cold, penetrating
wind to watch the struggle. 1t was
the right sort Of an ending for the old
grads who came back to see the
eleven Of their alma mater in action.
Rauber richly deserved to he the
hero Of the occasion. which incidental
" brought his home foot ball career
to close. AS he was the bulWark of
the Generals offense and defense and
did the punting and most of the for
ward passing.
Generals Threaten Often.
Washington and Lee threatened five
times before Rauber used his toe so
effectively, while Maryland had only
two good chances to tote the ball
across the last line. and il was only
the Old Liners great defensive work
in the pinches that kept them from
being beaten by larger score.
In fact. Maryland made two of the
greatest stands ever seen on any grid
iron when it twice in the third period
STAYED off the Generals with less than
Il yard to go. Both times when the
last down came the ball was resting
almost on the last chalk line. Twice
in the second quarter the Old Liners
also rose to the occasion. stopping the
onrush of the Generals within the
10-yard ark. One of the times
Rauber tried a placement, but it went
wide of the hars.
Then again in the dying minutes OF
the contest. the Old Liners again
called a halt on the Generals just
inside the last strip, and Rauber
dropped back for a kick that if
successful meant almost certain vic
tory and if he missed. practically a
sure scoreless battle. His kick was
uneiringly true. sailing we'll over the
bar ana almost squarely between the
posts.
MaryIand's March Halted.
Despite the game fight they had
fought All through the game. the Old
Liners still had something lett and.
following Eauber's feat. they took the
kickoff and seemed we'll on toward q
score when Washington and Lee
man halted the march by grabbing A
forward pass on his 30yard line.
MARYLAND started off with rush at
the outset Of the game, receiving the
kick off and marching for close 10 80
wards before the Generals checked
them.
Again in the early stages of the
third quarter the Old Liners appeared
to he on the way to a score. They
made a first down on the S-yard line.
