TERRAP|NS SCORE
IN DECISIVE STYLE.
Upset CorneIl's Conqueror
With AII-'Round Display
of Fine Foot Ball.
BY BURTON HAWKINS,

~ ALTIMORE, Md, october 49,
u A coolly alert University Of
Maryland eleven joined the
- ranks of the years prize
spoilers" here today by passing to
q 13-to-0 victory over united and un-
defeated Syracuse.
While 5000 spectators shivered in
Municipal Stadium and confidently
looked for the Orange to down Mary
land as 1t did Cornell, the Terps
struck from the air in the second
period to take a 60 lead and, late
in the game, scored again on an in
tercepted pass.
The victory was one that belonged
with Maryland's most coveted and
1t was one we'll earned. Both through
the air and on the ground the
Terrapins, who registered their fourth
win five games, were superior.
1t was a long pass from Quarter
back Charley Weidinger to Right
End Johnny Mccarthy that netted
Maryland its first touchdown. Tena-
ciously the Ferrapins clung to that
margin and when Syracuse desperately
attempted to wipe it out in the final
quarter, Coach Frank Dobson's eleven
alertly snatched at opportunity and
converted an enemy heave into the
second touchdown. Frank Skotnicki,
g. reserve halfback, intercepted and
ran 25 yards to score.
It was q neatly executed aerial
that scored Marylands initial touch
down, with Weidinger, a Baltimore
boy, fading back 10 yards to the
Syracuse 46-yard line before whipping
an accurate pass to Mccarthy product
of Eastern High School. Mccarthy
grabbed the ball at full speed over
his right shoulder on the 15-yard
line and streaked the remaining dis
tance to the goal line. Pershing
Mondorffs attempted placement for
the extra point was wide.
Forwards Halt Glickman.
CKOTNICKI, sophomore back
~ from West Hazelton. Pa, snatched
Marty Glickman's misdirected heave
from the air in the final minute and
q half of action as Syracuse deSper-
ately filled the air in an effort to
score His romp to the goal was un-
impeded as he easily outdistanced the
Syracuse secondary. Billy Bryant
booted the extra point from place
ment.
Spectators sprinkled about the spa
cious wooden saucer were amazed as
the Terp forward wall repeatedly
halted the streamlined Glickman, an
instrumental cog in the Oranges stun
ming 1915 upset of Cornell last week.
Maryland sparkled in the line, with
guards Willie Wolfe and Mike Sur
gent recording probably the smoothest
performances Of their collegiate ca
reers.
Glickman, a member of the United
States Olympic team and sprinter
who has covered 100 yards in 81
seconds, undoubtedly was handicapped
by the slippery turf, but Maryland
probably would have recorded the
same upset on dry field. The Terps
clicked with precision on attack
against the heavier Syracuse outfit
and its functioning as a defensive
unit left little to be desired.
Syracuse Threatens Early.
SYRACUSE was not without its mo-
~ ments, however, for the upstate
New Yorkers packed the dynamite
even if Maryland muffled its explosive
qualities. The Orange threatened mid
way in the first quarter when jarring
Jim Meade punted weakly out of
bounds on Maryland's 26-yard line.
The speedy Glickman, a Jewish boy
from Brooklyn, picked up first down
on the 16-yard line on two line
thrusts, but Maryland battled vic
iously to take the ball on downs after
Syracuse lost three yards.
Late in the third period Syracuse
launched another touchdown gesture,
but the brief drive again struck a
snag as that solid Terp line braced
to take the ball on downs on its own
25-yard line as Syracuse fell only
inches short of first down.
Maryland's threats, however, were
more frequent Shortly after the
opening kickoff the Terps were placed
In scoring position when Maryland
recovered Glickman's tumble on the
syracuse 20. Weidinger picked up 8
yards at left tackle, but Mondorff' S
attempted field goal was low enough
to Ricochet along the Syracuse line.
