Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November TO-
Vini, vidi, vici was the message that
Caesar sent back to Rome to tell the
triumph of his conquering armies, and
so might the University of Maryland
tell of its visit to Yale today, and it
was by carrying out the principles of
battle employed by the legionS of Rome
that Maryland drove back the flower
of Yale's gridiron world.
Maryland. undaunted by the over
whelming odds which seemed to favor
its opponent, carried the battle to Yale
and from the first whistle opened with
an attack that was never consistently
stopped.
The Macedonian phalanx never threw
back and crumpled an attack any better
than Maryland withstood the driving
assaults of the powerful array of backs
that was sent into the struggle against
it and the 6-to-0 victory was only the
natur;S suit.
Mar md simply outplayed Yale:'
great eleven. The SouthernerS had the
weight of numbers against them, they
apparently had the weight of every
thing against them, until after the game
got under way and then WaS differen.
story.
The Old Liners carried the battle tC
Yale from start to finish and in the few
moments that Yale was on the offensive
shattered the battering assaults tina,
were hurled against them.
Yale's Threat Halted.
Yale got the ball inside Maryland's
20-yard line only once, and that was in
the last two minutes of the fourth quar-
ter, when it blocked kick in midfeld,
picked up the pigSkin and ran to the
10-yard line before being downed. But
even with that opportunity and with al
the ingenuity that could be devised in
the way of double passes, forward passes
and powerful drives by big, fast backs,
the Old Line defense could not be pene-
trated. Two assaults were driven at the
tackles, one was swung wide of end an.
! the fourth was forward pass that was
knocked down back of the goal line
1t seemed from the first that it was
going to be Maryland day. The Old
Line eleven kicked off and Mcdonald
drove the ball across the goal line. On
three plays Yale could get nowhere
and it punted to Maryland's 35-yard line.
Maryland opened up with smashing
and forward passing attack that carried
the ball to Yale'S 10-yard mark, where it
drew penalty of Is yards for holding.
Maryland made another gain but could
not pick up the distance Roberts then
attempted a drop-kick which missed
the posts by inches and Yale got the
ball on the 20-yard line.
Play Is CoIorful.
From that moment until the end of
the first half the game was Just about
as colorful and beWildcring an exhibit
ton Of hard-fought foot ball as could
| be played. And the second half was
not much different. The two elevens
| fought between the two 30-yard lines
after that first chance for a score by
the visitors, but neither could reach a
position nor establish any advantage
that would give it the opportunity it
sought.
Maryland came back at the beginning
of the second half with a kickoff that
was brought back to the 40-yard line
by Hoben. However. the drives Yale
! took at the line Melted little and a punt
by Lampe went to Maryland's 10-yard
mark and Roberts was aowned in his
tracks. Maryland could not gain and
Roberts went back and got off a beau
tlful kick that went to midfield. Yale
again started tremendous assault but
got only one first down and then when
Its running game was stopped tried a
forward pass on the fourth down. The
ball went to Maryland on the 30-yard
line.
Maryland made one first down on a
double pass to Roberts and a drive
through the line by Snyder and Rob-
ertS got off another good kick that
bounded off Hoben's leg and was re-
| covered by Madigan on Yale's l7-yard
line. Maryland had another oppor-
tunity to score and took advantage of
1t. Snyder drove through center for
a yard, then through tackle for 2
yards. and a short forward pass added
more.
Ellis Are Fooled.
On the fourth down all eyes fastened
on what apparently was to be another
attempt at drop-kick by Roberts. The
ball shot back and Roberts started on
swing around end. The swing ended
abruptly, though, after a few steps and
the ball shot like bullet to Snyder.
who was far to one side, and Snyder
brushed aside one or two tacklerS and
sprinted across the goal line for the
only score OF the game. DodSonS at
tempt at placement hit the goal post
and bounded to one side.
instead of trying to protect that
count Maryland continued to carry the
battle to Yale for the remainder of the
game, except the last 4 minutes, when
it was on the defensive. Immediately
after that Yale started a series of wild
forWard-passlng attempts, but could not
get far with them, only one being
completed, that for gain of about
yards. Maryland kept on forward
passing with good results and Snyder
kept on breaking through Yale'S for
ward wall for spectacular gains. Yale'S
rushing attack was stopped and its
torWard-paSsing attempts were equally
futile.
Yale got two breaks in the last 4
minutes, either of which might have
changed the course of the contest had
not Marylands defense proved we'll
/ nigh lmpregnable. The first came when
! Roberts tried quick kick from close
! formation on his own 25-yard line. The
ball never left his foot and was re-
covered by CharleSworth. Yale had the
ball in scoring distance with the count
6 points against it, but it's tries at the
line. around end and on a criSs-cross
were unproductive and the ball went
back to Maryland.
Old Liners Get Scare.
The Old Liners started a drive then
that carried the ball to the 45-yard
line, and when Roberts went back APP
parently to boot the ball far into Yale
territory and with only 2 minutes
left it seemed that the result was al
most foregone conclusion. But Greene
broke through, blocked the kick and
when the ball rolled back picked 1t up
and started toward Marylands goal.
He was pulled down on the 10-yard
line. Two minutes and the ball theirs
on the 10-yard mark and the Yale
stands yelling like mad. 1t was stage
set for one of the most spectacular fin
ishes any foot ball game ever saw
But Yale was not equal to the oc-
casion. On its first two attempts. one
