TARHEELS WCTORS
IN STIRRING GAME
e0-Yard Dash for Score by
Snyder of Losers Is
Big Feature.
By HI. c. BYRD.
TN game that was wild. uncertain,

and at times brilliant University o.
North Carolina won from Uni
Il versity of Maryland at College Park
yesterday, 26 to 10. Making good
everything-and more-that was pre-
dicted for them in the way of a great
game, the two elevens fought back and
forth from one end of the field to the
other, both gaining ground and neither
apparently able to withstand the charges
and onslaughts of the other. with the
exception of about the first three
fourths of the second half, when Mary
land kept the Tarheels backed up
against their goal line almost con-
tinu0usly.
Everything that ever is seen in any
foot ball game was on display by the
Old Liners and Tarheels, and to the
latter rebounds real praise for winning
and holding margin which finally
gave them victory.
In the first part of the opening
quarter Maryland seemed unable to get
under way and at times in the first half
appeared to be floundering.
Both teams scored on clever runs,
Maryland got two touchdowns on for
ward passes, and from start to finish
of the contest there followed on the
part of both teams bewildering sue
cession of heaves, double passes, fakes
and hard charging drives that seemed
to bend back and crumple defensive
hnemen.
Old Liners Hold.
North Carolina received the kickoff
and Ward caught the ball and brought
it back to the 40-yard line. The Tar
heels gained z yards on orlve
through the line and then threw for
ward pass which was caught by Spauld-
ing for gain of Is yards. Maryland
with the ball on its own 30-yard line
held and finally took over the ball. On
the first lineup Roberts fumbled on an
end run from kick formation and North
Carolina recovered. Two forward passes,
one after a fake drive into the line,
netted 20 yards, and two drives through
the line severa! more, and then Ward
went over tor score on wide run
around left end. North Carolina failed
to kick its point after touchdown, but
was awarded it because Maryland was
offside.
Maryland again kicked of and soon
forced North Carolina to punt. The
Old Liners got the ball ON their own
31-yard line and on line plunges and
double passes carried it to the North
Carolina 35-yard line, from where
long forward pass, Kessler to DodSon,
produced a touchdown almost un-
hindered. Mcdonald place-kicked the
goal after touchdown, and the score
was to 7.
Funible Is Costly.
Shortly after the kickoff Maryland
got the ball on its own 35-yard mark,
but Kess!er on an attempted reverse
funbled and the ball was again re-
rnisplay for the second time within 10
minutes putting it in position to get
O. touchdown. The Carolina eleven
mixed runs and passes, and finally,
aided by 5-yard penalty, which put
the ball ON the 3-yard line, carried tie
ball across on two final drives hv
Foard. Whisnant kicked the goal for
the extra point.
Cardinals third touchdown was the
result of about the best drive 1t un-
corked during the whole game. From
midfield it flashed a run around end for
8 yards, it drove through center for
another S, ran reverse for more ana
forward-passed for another short gain,
and with the bail on the 6-yard line
received the benefit of .5-yard penalty
against Maryland Another Of side
penalty against Maryland gave Caro-
lima the extra point after touchdown
when the attempt at goal kicking went
wide.
Snyder in Long Run.
After this touchdown Carolina lined
mo and kicked of and Snyder, Mary
land fullback, produced a real thrill
for all hands when he lodged his way
from the 2O-yard mark through the
whole Carolina team for an 80-yard
run for score. Mcdonald failed to
kick the point.
Late in the half Maryland made an
other effort, rushing the ball from
its own 25-yard line to the North Caro-
lima 4O-yard mark, but the half ended
at that point with the score stand
ing North Carolina 20 and Maryland l3
When the second half opened Mary
land kicked off to North Carolina, and
on the rurback Nash fumbled the ball
and Madigan recovered on North Caro-
lina's 40-yard line. From that point
it started a march toward the Caro-
lima goal, but was halted on the 10
yard line From there North Caro-
IT, punted to Maryland's 45-yard line
and it was the drive started then that
finally resulted in the third touchdown
for the Old Liners.
Snyder went 8 yards through tackle
Roberts gained around end and keSS-
Ter added few more on a run around
the other end. Snyder added more
yards through center and then for
ward pass from the 20-yard line from
Kessler to Roberts sent the ball across
Mcdonald again failed to k.ck goal
And the count stood North Carolina
20 and Maryland 10.
Gets Final Score.
North Carolina again received the
kickoff and twice after that in thH
quarter the Marylanders had the ball
inside the 15-yard line but did not
seem to be able to get hold of anything
that would put it across. 1t was not
until the last five minutes TT North
Carolina got into a position - score
again and it made good the Copor-
tunity. Maryland tried TO gain
yards on a fourth down on Carolina'S
45-yard line and failed and lost thc
bail when it shou' have punted. Maus
got OF on long run on the first PLAY
and went 80 yards before he was downed
Another 10yard run by Magner around
end and a drive off tackle by Maus put
the ball on the l-yard line, from where
Gresham carried it over.
Both teams made mistakes, but Mary
land made just one or two more thar
the Carolinians and it was a margin O.
those mistakes that cost 1t the game
Both teams gained ground consistent!
and something of the way in which
they were continually driving for dis
fance was shown by the fact that Mary
land made Is first downs and Nortl
Carolina IA. e.-. .--.-.
