N FEW HAVEN, Conn, October
M .4.-Once again it was
i Y proved in the Yale Bowl
this afternoon that as
Booth goes so goes Yale In a
foot ball way.
Scoring two touchdowns him
self and throwing passes that re-
suited in two more, the pint-sized
quarterback led his team to a 40
tolls victory over the University
Of Maryland before big early
season crowd of $4,000.
Except for part OF the second and
fourth periods when the 144-pound
dynamo, Booth, was in the game,
Maryland fully held its own, but when
Coach Nal Stevens sent his star into
action along with his backfield running
mates, Beane and Muhlfeld, the tide
turned.
Once In the second quarter and again
In the fourth Booth threw q long, I'M
errinR pass to Beane for q touchdown
and each time he followed this up a
few minutes later with great broken
feid run of his own for another score.
The flrst of these was for 38 yards and
the second for AZ.
Evens Up Old Scores.
Yale's victory served to atone for a
series Of lean years in the annual strife
with Maryland, the fighting Southerners
having beaten the Bull Dog in 1925 and
1928 and tied them last season.
A year ago the Yale coach made the
mistake of taking Booth out too soon
but today he played safe by keeping the
Little Boy Blue" Ia action until five
touchdowns had been tailed and the
game was safely on ice.
McLennan, who started at quarter
back, scored the frst touchdown on an
off-tackle plunge after pass from
McLennan to Snead and 10-yard dash
by Taylor had placed the ball on the
1-yard line. Snead kicked the extra
point from placement.
But Maryland came right back to tie
the score by sending Chalmers over on
q short buck as the climax OF q drive
from near midheId and adding the extra
point by dint of q place kick by
Chalmers.
Booth Makes Difference.
Maryland was having slightly the
better of IL when Able Booth and Co.
made their bow shortly before the
middle of the second period. Just three
plays later came Booths touchdown
pass to Beanie, e play which covered
rs yards; and on the very next play
Booth sidestepped on right tackle for
80 yards and another tally. His drop
kicks made 1t ALT, but Maryland
picked UP so yards and a touchdown on
q pass from Evans to Berger. The
player who was Yale's nemesis last
year might have had another but
that Berger nuffed q pass on the goal
line. W
Maryland fought Yale on even terms
throughout the Bpoth7less third quarter
but In the fourth the reappearance OF
Booth and Beane and an exact
duplication OF their previous scoring
1eats broke the visitors. heart.
Yale subs went In in droves and Lew
ering. third string fullback, was able to
buck the ball over for 4 sixth touch
down in the closing minutes.
MaryIand's Errors Hurt
Maryland might have worried Yale
to the end or possibly might have won
had 1t not been for its own errors. A
tumble paved the. way for Booth to
make Yaleis second touchdown and
Berger dropped q forward pass behind
the Eli goal just before the intermission
that would have enabled the Old Liners
20 have matched the Blues three touch
downs.
In fact, the game was much closer
than the score would tend to indicate.
