NJ conflict and dramatic moment.
i the Yale Bowl today had en-
acted within its tremendous
portals a play of intense human emo
ton and soul-stirring feats that inspired
nearly half a hundred thousand per-
sons to frenzied acclaim.
Human machines and individuals
have at times seemed to rise above
themselves and attain heights I'M
dreamed and so today a group Of men
from Maryland, calling themselves a
foot ball team, rose to stun into silence
one side of the great bowl and give the
other opportunities for demonstrations
of wild enthusiasm entirely unlocked
for.
1t was an embittered and desperately
struggling University of Maryland
eleven that today with half the third
quarter gone, and the score Is to
against it, turned and with cold, intel
ligent savagery fought its way to 13-
to-l3 tie with what is truly fine Yale
team.
No foot ball team that has ever come
from the South to invade a Northern
gridiron accomplished more within a
given time and with the odds vastly
against it than did that which today
represented the OIL dime State, and
while every man who stepped out of the
field did well. it was a substitute back.
unknown, unhonored and unsung, who
stretched his slender legs into lons
strides that ended in two touchdowns.
Berger a Varsity Novice.
It was "Bozy" Berger, who never took
part in a foot ball game except as
substitute end on Maryland's fresh
man eleven last year, who caught ono
forward pass for a touchdown, shortly
after caught another in the middle of

from where he himself took the ball
across on a wide swing around end.
1t was peculiar game Of foot ball.
The first period was played almost until
its very end as if neither team was wor-
ried much about what might happen.
At least, that was the way it seemed,
but actually it was case of two good
| teams battling desperately and almost
evenly for an advantage that neither
seemed able to gain. Two great fighters
| Of the squared circle often are so good
that neither seems able to be doing
much, and so the first period was fought
| through until its last minute.
In that last minute Maryland began
to make mistakes which gave Yale big
advantages. With less than minute to
play, ard strong wind behind its back,
Mary I'D tried a forward pass on its
own 15-yard line. Yale intercepted 1t,

possession in scoring territory for the
first time. Maryland fought OF that
time every rally that Yale made.
It got out of its predicament only to
get back in a few minutes after the
teams changed goals when it fumbled
on its own 35-yard line, Yale recover
ing. Yale made one first down, was held
and the ball again changed hands.
Maryland punted out of danger to the

and Maryland recovered, only as prompt
ly to tumble again and let Yale recover
Booth Finally Scores.
Yale is too good foot ball team to be
given so many chances and not to make
good on some of them. This time, with
Booth in the game, and used mainly as
threat to allow other Yale backs to
get away for or 5 yard gains, Yale
made good. However with the ball on the
2-yard mark, 1t did take four downs to
get 1t over, and it went over then with
Booth carrying it, only by inches. Booth
made the point after touchdown on q
drop-kick.
The remainder of the half was
fought out on almost even terms. but
right at the beginning of the second
half Yale for five minutes made the
Southerners seem like the proverbial
short but consistent gains, carried the
ball to the 27-yard line. Here Booth
started on a swing around end. out
was struck by three Maryland tacklers
five yards behind the line of scrim-
mage so hard that the officials psnal-
lied Maryland is yards for rough play.
That put the ball on the 12-yard
ranging from one 70 three or four
yards. with Miller doing virtually all
the ball carrying, produced Yale's sec
ond score. Booth had his attempt at
drop kicking for the extra point
blocked.
Shortly after the. kickoff to Yale
the Old Liners got possession of the balA
on their own So-yard line. They be-
gan to rip Yale'S line open and to get
away for gains outside of tackle. Rob-
erts. who had taken Miller's place at
halfback, was proving just about as
hard to stop as Booth. BY steady
gaining Maryland carried the pigskin
to Yale's 45-yard mark, where Roberts
was rammed against the ground so
hard that he had to be taken from
the game. and Yale suffered a 15-yard
penalty for roughing.
Berger Gets Into Action.
Berger took Roberts place, and after
slices through the line and a double
pass nau neLCeu 10 yardS, Chalmers
dropped a forward into Berger's arms
behind the goal line for touchdown.
Mcdonald went in for Heintz. but
missed the goal.
Yale began to realize that things were
not so rosy especially as Maryland
seemed to continue to gain ground. But
late in the fourth quarter, when a Yale
punt had rolled to Maryland's 15-yard
line; the Yale stands yelled in glee.
With the ball in that position, Mary
lands case did not look any too good,
but Evans and Chalmers began to take
such successful cracks at the Yale line
that the ball was driven up to Yale's
40-yard mark and the Yale secondary
began to come in
That offered the opening of which
Evans took advantage, and long for
ward pass to Berger threw the latter
in the clear for what would have been
another touchdown right then and
there had not Ellis, one of the fastest
sprinters in the country, hauled him
down at the 4-yard mark. But it was
Berger who took the ball across on the
next play.
Then Mcdonald was called upon to
make the point necessary to tie the
score. Twice within the week he had
to meet the same emergency. He made
good just as he did against Virginia
and enabled his team to wind up a
