mage to Marylands 15-yard line,
where 1t was downed by the Hoyas'
eager ends. Maryland then took over
and elected to try to gain by rushing.
The Terps' first act was disastrous.
AS the backs shifted, Maryland's CEN
ter. Bob Walton, snapped the ball. It
sailed weirdly through the backfeld
and rolled into the end zone. Alertly,
Weidinger dived for the ball, content
to give Georgetown 2 points rather
than risk running pickup and q
possible tumble.
Terps Go 80 Yards to Score.
FOR fully is minutes Maryland sup.
porters anxiously waited to SEQ
how the Terrapins would take this
break. Then, midway the second
period, Coach Frank Dobson's team
gave its answer. A fine, long kick BY
Mellendick sailed into Maryland's end
zone and the Terrapins were given
the ball on their own 20. On the
first play Meade got little, but then
he took pass from Weidinger for
an l1-yard gain. Then Weidinger
shot hard pass to Smith for another
| first down on the 50-yard line.
Sticking to the aerial game, Wei
dinger again passed to Smith for a
2o-yard gain that placed the ball on
Georgetown's 80. The Hoyas took
time out to plan how to meet this
aerial bombardment, but it did no
good. On first down, with resumption
of play, Weidinger passed to John
Boyda, a stocky reserve fullback. Mel
lendick brought Boyda down after a
13-yard gain to Georgetowns II.
Here Weidinger, after drive at the
line, smartly and courageously shelved
the aerial attack. He slammed of ;
tackle and lateraled to Meade. Tom
my Keating, the Hoya safety man,
and Halfback Charley Wynchunas
brought Meade down on the 2-yard
line. but on the next play the big
junior. a veteran Of two Georgetown
Maryland clashes, skirted end.
Mandorff's Kick Misses.
PERSHING MONDORFF, Q place.
ment-kicking specialist, was
rushed into Maryland's backfield to
try for the extra point, but his kick
was hurried and wide Of the goal posts.
Georgetown tried to fight passes
with passes for the remainder Of the
first half, but the Hoyas could not
connect often and the first two periods
ended with the score at 60.
The third period was the least
eventful Of the afternoon. Maryland
was playing cautiously and George
town, at the time, was not prepared
to open up. Meade and Mellendick
were the chief figures in this quarter
They exchanged long, weu-directed
punts, with Mellendick surprising by
outkicking the Maryland star.
With the start of the fourth period
Maryland began to roll again. Start
ing from their own 25-yard line and
using Meade as battering ram, the
Terps moved to their 81 and then
punted. When Mellendicks return
punt was short-his only poor kick
OF the day-Maryland took over on
Georgetown's 45-yard line.
Placement Boot Is Wide.
MEADE and Halfback Frank Skot-
nich, the defense star Of the
game, hammered to G. us IS. A
shovel pass lost yards, but Weidinger
passed IA yards to Budkon for another
first down on the %. After picking up
only 2 yards on three plays, Maryland
again called upon Mondorf to kick.
He tried placement from the 80
yard line, but while there was plenty
OF distance to the boot it was wide.
Time was called when spectator in
the bleachers. who caught the kick,
refused to return it. It was necessary
to ring in new ball.
Georgetown took the ball after this
kick and the teams exchanged punts
with only minutes left to play. A
fine punt by Meade rolled out OF
bounds on G. us Is and from here
the Hilltoppers tried to start a march.
Quarterback Keating made yards
on his first plunge, but when he tried
again he fumbled. Surgent fell on
the ball, giving Maryland possession
on the enemy 81.
Weidinger carried the ball 2 yards
on the first play and then passed to
Smith, who was downed on George
towns 8-yard line. SkotnicN punched
the line for 2 more yards and then
Weidinger passed into the end zone
to Smith, who made leaping catch
for touchdown Bill Wolfe, q guard,
tried the extra-point kick. He. too,
failed when the ball was low and was
swallowed in tangling group Of line
men.
Georgetown Takes to Air.
WITH almost certain defeat staring
w them in the face, the George
towns took the next kickoff and threw
caution to the winds. Starting from
their own 80, they began to throw the
ball. Moulin passed to Mellendick for
10-yard gain and then for II more
yards Fading far back, Moulin threw
third straight pass far down the
field to Cavadine. a sub end, who
made brilliant catch off the flngertips
of two Of Maryland's secondary backs
1t was good for a 33-yard gain and
placed the ball on the Terps' 8-yard
line.
Even here the Hoyas stuck to the
aerial game for another play Moulin.
again in the tailback, spun and threw
a wide pass to Moulin, who fought to
the 3-yard line. Then, on the next
play, Mellendick was sent OF his own
left tackle.
He was hit at the line Of scrimmage.
The ball bounced into the air and then
disappeared under q mass Of gray and
d-shirted players. When the heap
was dissembled Budkoh of Maryland
had the ball.
That was the end. Weidinger d.
rected two plays toward the center Of
the line, content to gain no ground.
He timed his actions well. As Mary
land huddled for the third down the
whistle blew.
