TERPS GAIN FIRST
VICTORY OVER NAVY,
Pass From Chalmers to
Pease Sinks Middies, 60,
Before CoIorful Crowd.
BY JOHN b. KELLER

A burly but speedy team made foot
ball history for the University of Mary
land yesterday in Griffith Stadium by
scoring the Old Line institutions first
gridiron victory over Navy eleven in
a fiercely fought 6-to-0 encounter.
Maryland went into the air for its
tallying about midway of the third
period. A 30-yard pass shot by Shorty
Chalmers to AL Pease, and the latter's
20-yard dash after grabbing the pig
skin, accounted for the touchdown.
The brigade of midshipmen, with
their parade before the game and their
brightly-tinted cardboard pictures pre-
Sented between the halves. did much to
entertain a crowd of 10000, which in
cluded Secretary OF the Navy Charles
F. Adams and Albert C. Richie,
Governor Of Maryland, in addition to
many naval and governmental digni-
taries. But it was a hard-battling lot
of Old Liners that gave the foot ball
fans their greatest thrill.
Maryland found the MidShipmen a
gallant and scrappy crew and had to
struggle all the way to Stave of WELL
intended Annapolis drives. Three times
Navy went down the field under full
sail and threatened to breeze across
the Old Line goal. Once before Mary
land got its points the Midshipmen
were hammering at the opposing line
close to the final stripe and twice after
they were on the verge of scoring.
Maryland Checks Drives.
Twice, though, Maryland stoutly held
to wrest the ball from Navy on downs
and once gold-jerseyed Old Liner
leaped to grasp a pass intended for a
Navy player that might we'll have
earned tie at least for the Annapolis
tesm
The Old Liners, too, were deep in
Navy territory on several occasions
other than that in which they passed
the final line. At the outset of hos
tilities Maryland launched a drive that
carried 1t to Nays 22-yard stripe where
the Mldshipmen braced and gained
possession of the ball when a fourth
down forward pas went awry.
Twice Maryland endeavored to kick
field goals from placement. Just before
the end of the second period Chalmers
attempted to boot the pigskin across
the bar from the 33-yard line, but the
kick was short and the ball went to a
Navy player five yards from goal. Again
in the fourth period Chalmers tried
from the 38-yard line. This time Elliott,
Navy end, blocked the ball, scooped it
up and legged it 81 yards before he was
hauled down from behind by Al Woods.
Much of Maryland'S mastery over
Navy lay in its fine forward wall. The
Old Line ends and tackles especially
we're strong and also alert. They man
aged to capitalize on nearly every Navy
misplay. The Midshipmen made little
Roadway over this quartet that was in

DEBT CANCELLATION HIT
BY CAMBRIDGE COLBY
Former Secretary of State Says
Plan Would Force U. S. to Pay
Cost of War for Europe.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October 10.-The theory
that cancellation of war debts to the
United States would be a good business
policy was aSsailed tonight by Balm
bridge Colby former Secretary of State,
in a radio address.
THE remission of the European
debts" Colby said, will not cure the
world situation, nor will it benefit us
The money We forego would be quickly
swallowed up in the race for ornaments
and other forms of national waste"
Colby charged that bankers and
tariff protected manufacturers were
responsible for agitation to cancel the
debts. Such a step, he asserted, would
force American taxpayers to pay "a
great part of Europe's war costs in adj
dition to our own"

CAMPAIGN
NOW FREE-FOR-ALL
Election Oct. 27 to Decide
Governments Fate Amid
Confusion.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. October 1o-The cam
paign for the general election October
81 has developed into a free-for all
fight unparalleled in the nations his
tory.
Bewilderment existed in scores of
constituencies today as party groups
pressed ahead with their plans for two
weeks of high-pressure electioneering
to determine the fate of Ramsay Mac
Donalds national government.
Despite party confusion, however the
authenticated by money on the
stock exchange-prevailed that the
national government should have a
majority of about $50 in the House of
Commons which will meet November 8.
Fight on Government.
The campaign is settling into a fight
for or against the national government,
with free trade or tariffs as the main
immediate issue. In the background is
the struggle between capitalism and
the British Labor party's brand Of So
cialism.
One of the important developments
today was the refusal by conservatives
to withdraw their candidate at OAR
Wen in opposition to Sir Herbert Sam
uel, leader of the National Liberals.
This action is likely to precipitate
more three-cornered fights among
Conservatives, Liberals and Labor.
Such contests are looked upon as Seri-
ously weakening the national govern
ments appeal for national unity.
