EACH TEAM SCORES.
FLASH TOUCHDOWN
iTerrapins Duplicate Pass
That Beat Navy-KelIy's
Run Saves Wildcats.
BY r. ID. THOMAS.

II gridiron dynamite that
4 a blew up the Navy a week
previous was set off by the
University of Maryland yesterday
to save the day in momentous
struggle with the Wildcats Of OF
Kentucky.
The Olo Line stalwarts took the
pounding of their brave young
lives from the biggest foot ball
team to invade metropolitan
Washington in a decade but left
the field of battle at College Park
richly recompenSed with a 6-point
deadlock, the result of two hair
raising touchdoWnS.
Maryland won its points with a scin-
carbon copy of the play that beat Navy.
1t gained As yards, about 80 of which
the ball spun IN a high trajectory from
the palm of George Chalmers, the same
halfback who made The victorious heave
against the. Middies. In this instance,
however, it was Jack Norris instead of
AL Pease who gathered in the oval and
raced to the goal
1t was a narrowly timed maneuver,
FOR less than minute after Chalmers
missed place-kick for the extra point
the whistle blew ending the half.
Wildcats Get Even.
The retaliating blow was struck by
Kentucky in the third quarter in the
form Of 48-yard run by Shipwreck
Kelly, which placed the oval yards
from the goal few seconds later to be
carried across by Cecil Urbaniak. much
touted candidate for all-America dis
tinction. Big Bud Davidson emerged
from guard position to try for the
victory potent added point. but his
place-kick sailed wide Of the left goal
post
Maryland strove against heavy odds
and needed the favor of fortune to come
away undefeated. The giants from the
Blue Grass averaged fully Is pounds
more to the man and in one notable
instance the disparity was co. This
was at-center where Frank Scale held
forth for Kentucky with 220 pounds of
perfectly geared foot ball machinery.
The like of him for size and effective
ness hasn't been noted in this vicinity
since Babe Connaughtons day at
Georgetown.
Terrapins Seize Breaks.
Kentucky scored II first downs
against six for Maryland and covered
263 yards from scrimmage against 1877
but when it made mistakes the enter
prising Terrapins were quick to take
threatened to score, which they did on
four occasions. the Old Liners fought
like cornered panthers.
AS the battle drew to a close it
seemed dame fortune would step in
and settle the issue but exercised sex
prerogative and wouldn't make up her
mind. Each team was presented an
opportunity to score in the final period
and both. chances were dissipated by
passes that grounded in the end zones.
Maryland had attempted, in the pre-
vious quarter, to turn the tide with
drop-kick by Chalmers, whose punting
many times had warded off disaster
The chunky halfback got off a boot
from the 25-yard line which appeared
perfectly aimed but in its way was the
prodigious chest of the charging Scale,
or was 1t WaIrus?
Team Of Giants.
At the outset there were few among
the 1000 present who were net SO i'm
pressed with the size and power of the
Kentucky team as to wonder only how
large would be the score in its favor.
1t was not until the second period that
Maryland was able to make first
down.
The game was only few minutes old
when the Wildcats were deep in Mary
land territory Davidson recovered a
punt. fumbled by Poppelman, on the
Terrapin 30-yard line but despite Z
yard gain by Jack Phipps, who out
shone Urbaniak and was almost as
effective throughout as Kelly, the Wild
cats were held for downs with the goal
% yards distant.
Later in the period Maryland suffered
the first Of series Of almost ruinous
casualties when Al Woods, star of the
Navy game. was knocked cold and out
of the days business Woods right
shaken up. He was Joined during the
second period by Ed keenan,, tackle
with broken nose.
Chalmers and other Terrapins re-
ceived lesser but painful injuries.
Phipps' tumble Costly.
Kentucky was headed for what APP
peared to be sure touchdown in the
second quarter when PhippS fumbled
on Marylands 14-yard line and Quar-
terback Joe Settino recovered for the
Terrapins. On the next play BoZie
Berger rounded his own left end for
12-yard gain and Maryland's initial first
down. 1t went for little, however, for
play or two later Poppelman fumbled
and Tate Duff, snappy end, retrieved
for Kentucky on Marylands 25-yard
stripe. This time the Wildcats were
held for downs II yards from the goal
when Norris got in some healthy de-
fensive ticks.
A poor punt by Kelly turned out to
be the big break for Maryland. The
ball went outside on Kentucky's As
yard line when, a stable boot might
have held the Terrapins we'll within
their own territory. AS it was, Mary
land chose this spot to pull its coup.
Charlie May took the ball from center,
tented a run around his own right
end and tossed to Chalmers, headed
in the opposite direction. In the mean
time several eligibles were far down
the field, Norris near the right side
line. Chalmers toss was we'll timed, but
Norris was harried by two Wildcats and
was forced to make a difficult CATCH
taking the ball over his shoulder.
Kelly preceded his long run by one
of 10 yards. When he got loose on
the second squirt the field was by no
means clear. The Shipwreck ran a
jigsaw course for about 20 yards and
then Strengthened out. He would have
reached the goal but for Paul Herman,
whose speed was greater for a second
or two than that of the Wildcat, whose
pace in track toys has been clicked at
96 for the century. Herman came from
behind and bumped Kelly out of
bounds on the 7-yard line. Phipps got
