@HICAGO, Nov. s.-The fuse Is
II sputtering toward what may
u be the biggest explosion in
national professional football
history.
Green Bays Packers, finally under
way after slow start, touched of the
fireworks yesterday by handing the
vaunted Chicago Bears their first de-
feat Of the season. A glance at the
schedule shows the possibilities of
blow-up which, before many weeks
have passed, may hurl the Bears and
New York Giants from divisional leads
they have held so long.
In the Western section the Bears,
after being set back, "a to IA, by the
Packers, still lead with five wins, one
defeat and one tie. Green Bay has won
six, lost two and tied none. On Thanks
giving Day the Bears have to tackle
Detroit's Lions at Detroit, and a VIC
tory for the Lions probably would hand
the Packers the Western title and
shot at asecond straight league crown.

things, brought back the Hoya stock
bound by bound after it plunged to

At this writing Georgetown is rated
formidable opponent for Maryland
where month ago the Terps would
have been heavy favorites. Mellen-
dick has made lot of difference. No.
body outside of Georgetown ranks
thought of him as a passer, but Mel
kndick chucked the three aerials in
succession that gave Georgetown
touchdown from 70 yards out and got
. deadlock and moral victory in the
scrap with West Virginia.

and Georgetown's comeback, the Terp-
Hoya game is assured a Zig attend

UNKNOWN BACKS
TERP, HOYA PROPS
Mondorff's Toe, MeIIendiCk's
Dash Promise Thrills
in Big Game Here.
BY ROD THOMAS.

\A/ ed this fall Pershing
Wv Mondorf of Maryland and
Joe Mellendick of George
town were names unfamiliar, but to-
day they have box-office value.
Sophomores Mondorff and Mellen-
dick may be the leading actors in the
outstanding pigskin show of the
Capitals season, bringing together
Georgetown and Maryland a week
from Saturday at Griffith Stadium in
the Hoyas' homecoming.
But for Mondorff, green as grass in
football when he came to Maryland,
and Mellendick, unheralded on his
advent at Georgetown, the only major
game between Washington elevens
would have been played largely as a
matter of routine.
With two swipes of his right foot,
Mondorff kicked Maryland into the
most conspicuous spot it has held in
the gridiron history of the Old Line
institution. His field goal defeated
Virginia, 80, and on Saturday, with
7-6 loss to v. M. 1. imminent, he
saved the day with another accurate
boot, Maryland winning, 81.
Failure against Virginia and v. M. l.,
coupled with an early-season defeat
by Penn, would have made Maryland
Just another football team, but with
only one loss-by single touchdown
in a free-scoring game-in seven bat
ties of fairly stiff schedule, the
Terrapins are attracting a lot of at
tention.
Maryland 1-Up in Series.
TIME was when Georgetown, year
after year, was too strong for
Maryland to fuss with. The schools
got together in 1884 and Maryland
won, 60. In '35 the Terps scored
again, 1876. Last season Georgetown
won, 7-6. They were three stirring
battles. an intercepted pass winning
for Maryland in the first, two long
runs by Bill GuckeySon landing the
second for the Terps and Lew Hardy's
punt-block, Maury Nee's recovery and
touchdown-run and Wilmer Vail
Quette's eXtra-point kick giving the
Hoyas victory in the third. Standing:
Maryland, 2; Georgetown, l, in three
years of struggle
Georgetown began the current sea-
son with high hopes of getting even
with Maryland and at the same time
giving the Capital what it long has
desired-a football game that would
fill Griffith Stadium.
The 1887 Hoya- -Terrapin battle won't
pack the park, but thousands would
have stayed away but for Mondorff's
field goals that frightened lMaryland's
record and Mellendick's unexpected
abilities. The youngster got his chance

sailed by injuries. He was an out
