Kentucky Beats Y. NIL, % tol2,
As Cadets Weaken IN Last Half

In the final period Kentucky had
things much to her liking. Covington
started the fireworks with a beautiful
55-yard run with one of McCray's long
punts, hating on the 35-yard line. A
tumble recovered by v. M. I. delayed
the drive but again Covington came
back IS yards with punt. Jack
Phipps, Wildcat full back, made IL
yards through the line and Spicer in
two attempts bucked IL yards for a
touchdown. Covington place kicked
goal.
The third Kentucky touchdown fol-
lowed closely. Hawkins got off a H.
yard punt for v. NJ /. Spicer and
Phipps registered a first down and
Kelley circled left end for II yards.
Yates then tossed a 30-yard pass to
Spicer, who caught it on the 3-yard line
and stepped over for the touchdown.
Covington failed to make good the
placement kick.
The Wildcats threatened several more
times, passing frequently as the end of
the game neared. 1t was a long pass
that Williams shared for his 65-yard
gallop.

OLD LINE FRESHMEN
BEAT TARHEEL CUBS

University of Maryland freshman foot
ball team brought to a close a most
successful season, in which it was un-
defeated, yesterday at College Park by
handing North Carolina yearlings an
l8-to-12 setbeck when it scored two
touchdowns in the last five minutes of
the game, against one for the Tarheels.
TO break a 6-6 tie that had deadlocked
the count until that time.
In the season just closed the Old
Liners scored victories over Virginia,
Washington and Lee and Western
Maryland freshmen elevens, and bat
tied to a 90 draw with v. M. I. frosh.
Ray Poppelman, Maryland quarter
back, who was subbing at that position
in place of Al Woods, injured star, was
the outstanding ground gamer Of both
teams In previous contests Poppelman
has put up a sturdy exhibition at full
back, but yesterday he flashed a sensa-
tional game to score three touchdowns,
all of his teams points.
With about two minutes to play in
the final period, and the count dead
locked at 1912, Poppelman made sue
cessive sprints of 20 and As yards on
and end run and reverse play for
the winning touchdown.
A few minutes before, Poppelman had
given Maryland 12-to-6 lead by crash
ing over from the 4-yard line, only
to have the TarheelS come back after
the kickoff to tie the score with long
forward pass from Chandler to Nichols,
which went for so yards and a touch
down. Attempts to add the extra point
after all three touchdowns in this
quarter failed.
North Carolina was the first to score,
showing over a touchdown in the first
five minutes of the opening period. A
sustained drive down the field with
Chandler and Thompson carrying the
ball most of the. time ended with
Abrams crossing the goal line. The
extra point was missed when pass
went wide.
The Old Liners evened the count in
the second quarter, after poor Tar
heel punt had given them the ball on
the visitors 15-yard line. Poppleman
hit the line three times for the touch
down. Fountain missed the drop-kick
for extra point.

TouchdoWns.

- ELINSGROVE, Pa, November 10
Gallaudet sped away to sur
prising victory over Susquehanna
~ here today by IA to z. The Wis
itors presented a defense which
SuSQuehanna was unable to penetrate
twice when they were within the guests
10-yard line. The attack Of the GAL
laudet squad was consistently stronger
throughout. Gallaudet took command
of the situation right, from the initial
kick-o off, much to the surprice of the con-
fident Susquehanna. The first turn in
the guests, favor came when Zeiske
punted from Gallaudet'S 25-yard line to
SuSquehanna's 15-yard stripe, where
Capt Garman fumbled the ball and
Galloudet fell on the oval.
Williams there attempted goal from
field, which failed, and the quarter
ended with neither side scoring.
Gallaudet's powerful attack brought
real results in the second quarter.
Danks' poor punt gave the guests the
ball on SuSquehannaS 25-yard line.
Susouehanna could not check the ad-
vance and Capt. RingIe lunged over for
the first touchdown of the fray. Will
liamS kicked the goal from placement.
Scores on Straight Foot Ball.
Renewed attack by straight foot ball
tactics sent Ringle over soon again lot
a second touchdown and Williams re-
peated his scoring of the extra point.
Susquehanna rallied and end runs by
Glenn and q pair OF passes by Moser
to MoloSky advanced the ball for Sus-
quehanna to Gallaudet's 5-yard line,
where the visitors held for downs.
zeiSke received the baiN on the next pass
and broke away for 47-yard run. The
second quarter ended on the next play
with the score IA to 0, iii favor of Gal
laudet.
Susquehanna's slumping stock took a
bullish turn in the third quarter when
Delay ran back the kickoff for 40
yards. Susquehanna added two first
downs to carry the ball to GAllaudet's
S-yard line, where they lost the ball
on downs. Gallaudet advanced the ball
to the ~ = yard line, where Delay
blocked a punt. Susquehanna rose to
exceptional strength and shot Wormley
over for touchdown. Moser kicking the
extra point. Williams 30-yard pass to
