UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA,
6; University of Maryland, 6.
Behind these figures lies the
" story Of one of the most des-
perately fought foot ball
games, and in some respects the most
brilliant, ever staged between two
elevens in the South. A brilliant Ga
yard run by Stevens for touchdown
on the first play after his team got
possession of the ball produced a six
point Lead for Maryland, which it held
for three quarters, but about the mid
die Of the fourth quarter Kessler
failed to get far enough back to punt
from his own 30-yard line. Luke broke
through and blocked the ball, which
rolled to the SiX-inch line, and then
fell on it. Hushion pushed through
for a touchdown and a tie score, be-
cause, like Stevens, Mackall had his
try for point blocked.
Maryland Defense Strong.
While Maryland held the lead and
Virginia did not score except by vir-
tue OF a blocked kick. the Old Line
eleven several times had it's back to
the wall, but finally halted vicious
drives.
Maryland's 6.point lead was in jeop-
ardy in the second period as the result
of a long forward pass of which
Friedburg. brilliant Virginia end,
made a remarkable catch. The ball
was blocked and a Maryland defen-
Sive player apparently had it in his
hands but Fredburg went up. fought
sor the pigskin and emerged from the
miXup, flying down the field and was
not stopped until caught from behind
! 9t the 12-vard line. Here the Mary
| !anderS frightened up and Virginia S
drives at the line and passes came to
naught and the ball changed hands.
! That did not end the situation
though, because Kessler got off a poor
punt and Virginia again had the ball
| on the 25-yard line. Two tries at the
ends failed and two forward passes
| shortly after that.
! At the beginning of the second half
! Virginia started a series of line plays
| and bucked its way from it's own 80
yard line straight down the field to
| Maryland's 10-yard mark. Here the
men from the Old Dominion changed
their tactics. and tried smashes off
tackle and a wide run before finally
grounding a forward pass on fourth
| down.
Kick Is Blocked.
/ For the remainder of the third
quarter and early in the fourth Mary
land was able to check the Virginia
attack, but gained little ground itself.
and apparently the contest had turned
into more or less of a punting duel.
But when Kessler .meved back to
punt from his own 25-yard mark
about the middle of the fourth period,
he got no farther than seven yards,
land when he tried to kick Luke
hurled his 200 pounds against the ball
so hard that 1T rolled back to the goal
! line.
Once more In the fourth quarter a
brilliant catch of a forward pass from
Hushion by F'riedburg gave the Cav

followed. Finally the Blue and Gray
uncorked an offensive that took it to
Navys 20-yard line. but the MidShip-
men braced and O'Neil's try for goal
from placement at the 29-yard line
resulted in a touch-back.
Waite's tumble Is Costly.
| Some good passing and line plung-
! ing later carried Georgetown well
toward Navy's goal, but a pass from
Gormley to Waite was funbled by the
| latter. Before the ball reached the
| ground it was grabbed by Shapley,
who raced 80 yards before being
forced outside at Georgetown's 40
yard strip.
That was Navy's big chance and it
took advantage of it. A line play
failed, but Hamilton hurled a short
pass to Shapley and the Navy substi-
tute quarterback twisted his way
through a flock of would-be tacklers
for 80 yards to the final line. Hamil-
ton, in fine form, dropkicked the goal
that deadlocked the game.
Georgetown's determination to pass
it's way to a first down instead of
kicking after the third down proved
costly to it in the fourth quarter.
The Hilltoppers had the ball on
Navy'S 25-yard line when a short pass
grounded and the oval went to the
Midshipmen. Running from kick for
nation, Shapley picked up Is yards.
Then a penalty cost Navy yards,
but pass, Hamilton to Shapley,
brought first down at midfield.
Another fine heave, this time from
Hamilton to Lloyd, was good for 32
yards. That put the ball dangerously
close to Georgetown's goal and Shap-
ley made it worse for the Hilltoppers
when he crashed through the line for
20 yards more.
That was close enough for Navy.
hamilton was sent back, and from the
i6-yard line he easily sent the ball
plnning across the bar for the three
points that became Navy's margin of
victory.

Harold Casey allowed only three hits until he eased up in the ninth.
 Lindgren started the game in his favrite way by taking q pitch in the ribs. He scored on Jack Argosy's double and Casey helped his cause with another two-ply swat. Hayes brought him in with a single and worked around to score at Recano grounded out. The Speedboys were meek until the third and even then did nothing on their own account; an error, a walk, and a hit batsman Casey famed Link and took Pun gratz's hopper to start a double play.

 Seven clean hits gave the Rangers five more runs in the sixth and seventh, while the Speedboys did nothing more until the ninth. With one out, Daley then doubled. Ar burr whiffed, but Salina scored Daley with a long single and Levin lashed home run to left. Casey hit Reed on the arm, but Lindgren swooped down on Lukes roller and threw him out.
 Hayes, who hit safely on his first three trips to the plate and made several neat catches in center field. featured the game, while Lindgren put up a great exhibition around the hot corner. One catch of foul ball off the heads of the crowd was par ticularly brilliant. Casey pitched a steady game and also hit hard, get ting two doubles.

The rain Saturday noon almost prevented the City league from playing it's games and made consid- erable difficulty for managers in rounding up players who believed that there would be nothing doing Both o'clock games had to be de- layed a half hour to allow teams to send out and muster the full nine players, required, and the Pirates and Robbins played without sub stitutes, being able to rout out just the needed number. Quick dashed to various parts of the city were made to round up several missing players, while Manager Ken Saund- CTS of the Pirates had the good luck to discover Huggie Carlson just as the latter was turning into theater under the impression that there would be no games.
 Menjou Zaleski has pitching am bitions. He went from receiving to throwing end of the battery Saturday and performed creditably, showing plenty of stuff but not having it un- der proper control. Zaleski has too much animation to spend a game crouched behind the plate and says he wants to get out where there is more action. He will probably be among the pitching candidates at the high school next spring.
 Zaleski had a funny one happen to him in the second inning Satur- day. He tried to go all the way rom first to third on a sacrifice bunt and was caught far from the base by throw from Denton to Suess. Zale- ski and Suess collided violently, and a ball rolled from the pile. In spite of Umpire ,Hogan's ruling that he was out, the Burritt catcher sat confidently on the bag and pointed to the loose ball. But Suess still had a ball in his hand and it developed that the extra one had fallen rom Hogan's pocket during the play.
 Tn the sixth, Denton picked up Dalkowski's grounder and beat the runner to the bag, but he tossed the ball away, apparently before he touched the base. Larry Mangan called Dalkowski out, but he grin- ned and shook his head at the first sacker as he did so and the crowd gave him a good d-natured razzing.
 GraiIs home run puts the Burritt n.lnager in the lead for circuit clouts, he being the only player to have made two. His first was fiuke that landed inside of third and bounded into the road, but this was clean smash to the other diamond. Klepacki also got one for the Bur ritts, the funny part of it being that if was his second safe hit of the year; at the last tabulation of aver ages he was hitting exactly .O65.
 The Rangers victory was sur prise, for they have been a notorl- ously weak batting team. yet they tied into the offerings of Pungratz' who had subdued the slugging Bur ritss, and made him quit.
 Looking at some of the names in the box scores, we find that sey- eral players are still under the im- pression that the City league is q masquerade,
