CLARK'S PLANS FAIL

CLARK'S PLANS FAIL
The game was unusual in q
number of ways. First, Potsy
Clark's schemes didn't work out
well, principally because the
Brooklyn players were rather loose
in the clutches, especially "ship-
wreck" Kelly, who drew tn rasp"
berries Of the throng every time
he entered or left the game. In
the second place, the Dodgers
were unsteady-practically I'm.
reliable-many of them lacking
the balanced qualities Of top
grade pro players. Players like
Barrett, Leisk (guarO and John
son Chalfback) performed as real
professionals should and do. Even
the veteran Brumbaugh, fresh
from the Chicago Bears, didn't
look so hot, for he was hesitant
and unstable, especially when
pressed. Kelly, too; and even
AlbaneSe.
Ernie Pinckert, who loves to
carry the ball but whose main
assignment is blocking for his
Redskin mates, got his chance
as a ball-toter. He ran some 80
yards, flashing rare form as a
ball-carrier, only to have the play
recalled as illegal. That hurt
Ernie terribly.

have to play up-and.at- 'em foot

NOT A GUCKEYsON


Jim Meade is not Bill Guckey-
son at Maryland this year, but the
young stalwart is playing the great
est football of his career. His kick
ing against Florida in the fourth
period when the Terps were pro
tecting a lead was a thing Of
beauty. He tied the Gators to
their own coal posts with punts
that went out of bounds deep in
Florida territory. One rolled out
on the 9-yard line; another went
out just II yards from the last
white stripe.
The value Of this sort Of kicking
c-nnot be overestimated. It rob
bed Tiger" Mayberry, truly re-
markable ball carrier, from getting
off to q flying start with the
leather under his arm. And be
stated here and now, with en-
phaSiS, that when Mayberry gets
off to a flying start, touchdown
may be in the making.
But that triumph of the Terra
pins was not accomplished by
Meade alone. Not by a jugful.
There was an alert, hard-fighting
crew of youngsters in the lineup,
playing smart and aggressive foot
ball from start to finish.
FIBRE TESTED
Maryland's fibre was tested to
the last ounce in the first half
when the Gators Stormed down to
the 5-yard line or Whereabouts
with first down and goal to go.
But on the last down Vic Ellis
was bumped out of bounds and
Maryland took the ball on downs.
In that goal-line stand the Terra
pins smashed through with Al
brano and Brown playing grand
football. The ends and the wing
backs were alert for sweeps; the
line supports, with the bareback
ling De Armey in the van, did a
fine piece of defensive work.
Maryland alone kept the local
teams in the winning column.
Georgetown led Manhattan in the
first half by matter Of two touch.
downs, but the Green surged back
in the second half to win. The
power flashed by Manhattan
through the two last periods in
that battle was terrific. Veteran
observers say that no team ever
showed to better advantage on a
local field.

their share of diSappointmentS

Maybe that story about the tur-
tie is something more than a fable.
We've known for years that once
upon a time a tortoise beat a rab-
bit in a weight for age race at
championship distance. But never
before have we been told that a
Terrapin could reverse the order
of things and gobble up a Gator.
Not until University of Maryland's
remarkable football eleven turned
the trick on Saturday.
Maryland did a splendid job OF
trimming University Of Florida be-
fore home coming crowd, and
today is preparing for grim bat
tie with Virginia Military Academy
on next Saturday. The West Point
of the South gave the West Point
of the Hudson a real battle on
Saturday at Lexington and once
more Frank Dobson must husband
his slender forces and fight a
strategic battle.
