GATHER
GLORY
BY JUNO K1NERK

Eastern football critics today
are hailing Maryland as one Of
the best teams that has Travelled
into the Yale bowl this season
And well they might, for the Old
Line team which battled the Ellis
to standstill certainly played
inspired football to gain q 13-all
tie score, and in so doing cover
themselves with glory.
Had the game gone much
longer it is not tnconceivable
that the Old Liners would have
won, for they had opened such
o relentless drive midway Of the
ehird period that Yale was power
sess to halt them. And when the
karne ended Maryland had pos

yard mark. having just inter
cepted a pass as Yale was des-
perately trying any means to
break the deadlock.
The spark which turned Mary
land into q great team seemed
to ignite when Aueie Roberts,
the fraiI.Iooking little halfback,
was brutality tackled by q ZOO
pounder, who, after stopping Rob
arts picked him UP bodily and
5aen fell heavily upon him pur-
lposely after the whistle had
blown. OF course, there was a
penalty of Is yards for this.
Igaen the Maryland attack got
nnder way, with Berger finally
catching a well-directed Chalmers
pass over the goal for the first
Old Line touchdown.
'sMOOn" Evans, Maryland's
quarterback, then gave just
about a fine an example OF
how to run a team as 1t has
been our privilege to see this
season.
After a quick punt had put the
ball back on Maryland'S 13-yaro
line, Evans directed q heady at
fack that did not end until Mary
sar1d had knotted the score by
carving. the ball 90 yards with

seemed helpless. With the sec
ondary back, Evans, himself doing
the brunt Of the work, started
punching holes through the ELS
line. Through center, in side and
outside tackle, and an occasional
short pass soon brought the ball
to midfield in a succession OF
four first downs.
Then Evans called for the coup
de grace. The Yale secondary
had pulled in close to bolster
their punctured line, and Evans
speedily called for a long pass.
III worked and Maryland was on
Yale's five-yard line. With Yale
bracing itself for one OF its
customary goal-lir1e stands, Evans
sensed the situation and called
for a neat, tricky triple pass that
sent Berger unmoleSted wide
around the end without an oppo-
1aent coming close to laying q
hand on him.
When J. Mcdonald kicked the
point which tied the score, the
Yale stands were stunned. In a
brief interval Of is minutes they
had seen the plucky Southe-ners
wipe out a Is point lead against
Yale's best. Maryland continued
- fight like demons after squar-
ING the score, but there wasn't
any time left for them following
She kickoff to continue on to a
possible triumph.
As It was, the tie score was
the outstanding upset Of the
day in Eastern ranks. Yale's
victories against Army and
il Dartmouth the previous two
i Saturdays had made them
prohibitive favorites. But the

their game in Norfolk, Va with

What the Gobblers did to Virginia
Saturday, the Old Liners will
have to come through with a
repetition of their great game

Just how much respect Yale
has for Maryland is reflected IN
next years schedule. Instead OF
playing them just before their
annual games with Princeton and
Harvard, as has been the Gus.

Liners for their second game OF
the season next fall. The feeling
