NIidshipmen Launch Attack.
Maryland. after kicking of at the
games start. soon regained possession
Of the ball and lost no time in launch
ing formidable attack. Poppelman
shared a Navy punt and ran the ball
back Is yards TO midfield. Then the
Old Liners. with Poppelman and Berger
doing most of the carrying, advanced
to Nays %. There the Midshipmen
braced and got the pigskin when a
fourth-down Maryland pass missed the
target. During the remainder of the
Maryland's territory, for Navy opened
an offensive with Tschirgi the spear
head that gained repeatedly through
the Old Liners center.
Toward the close Of the period Camp
bell intercepted an Old Line pass near
midfield. Tschirgi in five plays got
two first downs, moving the attack to
Maryland's 30-yard stripe and taking
the ball again he picked up 5 more
as the second period opened. Then
Maryland stopped the feet Annapolis
runner only to suffer 5-yard penalty
for off-side play. The Midshipmen
tried three times, but could make no
Roadway with running attack, so they
attempted pass. and when it grounded
the ball went to the defenders on their
12-yard line
After a punting duel between Chal-
ners and Campbell. the Navy eleven
again headed toward Maryland's goal,
but the advance was checked when
Korrad fumbled and Pease got the ball
for the Old Liners just within Navy
territory Poppelman reeled of long
run, but Berger was slammed for loss.
Then Chalmers made his first try for a
field goal. The placement kick from
the 33-yarG line was yards short of
its mark
tumble Proves Costly.
Midway of the third period the ball
passed TO the Midshipmen on downs, at
their 37yard stripe, and there was some
pecking away at Maryland's line that
melted about a 10-yard advance Then
Campbell broke through only to tumble
the ball at nidheld. This was the break
Line guard. pounced on the loose oval
and Maryland's scoring offensive got
under way.
Woods picked up two yards with a
line buck to place the ball on the mid
die chalk mark of the gridiron. then
came the tallying play. A double re-
verse preceded the pass to Pease, the
ball going from Poppelman to Herman
to Chalmers behind the line. Then
Shorty made that fine 3Q-yard heave
over the heads of several Of the NAVY
defense. Woods had sifted through the
Annapolis line to remove a big threat
to the success Of the play and PeaSe.
side-stepping thei one Navy player. dan
gerously near him, sped to goal. Chal-
mers tried for the extra paint with a
placement kick, but it was blocked by
Navy.
Just before the third period ended
Campbell made poor punt from be-
hind his goal and Poppelman got back
to the Midshipmen's 28-yard line.
Rushes failed, so at the outset OF the
fourth period Chalmers again attempted
to score with a placement kick. With
Woods holding the ball on the 38-yard
line. he booted. only to have the effort
blocked by Elliott. The Navy end
scooped up the ball to race well into
Maryland's part of the gridiron. Navy
passed its way to Maryland's g. then
shifted to running attack and lost the
ball on downs within yards Of goal
That ives Maryland's most gallant stand
of the game.
Navy Makes Final Drive.
Chalmers followed this fine defense
with his one poor punt, driving the
ball so weakly that Navy again was
attacking within 20 yards of goal. This
time, however, Navy could not gain an
inch and when it passed, the ball was
intercepted by Maryland's right end
There were several exchanges Of puntS
before Woods got away to run deep into
Nays portion Of the field, but Poppel-
man fumbled and the Midshipmer
gained possession of the ball.
For some time thereafter the all
was full of Navy passes with Chung
Hoon, the Hawaiian boy, throwing most
of them. So harried was the Navy
back by the Maryland linemen that
many of the heaves were made with
no detectives and eventually the Mid
shipmen exhausted their downs so that
Maryland got the ball on its opponents
20-yard stripe. That was the finish
the final horn sounding before the Ole
Liners could form for a play.
It was Nays blue day. but golden
one for Maryland.
