BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 7.-Scor-
Ing in every conceivable manner in
the third period, after being held
on even terms throughout the first
. half, the University of Maryland's S
football forces rumbled over a stub
born Western Maryland eleven to
= 1910 victory here tonight in the
first college football game committed
by lamplight in this cavernous coli
scum.
A throng of $4,000 draped around
the premises saw the lethargic Terps
awake with a start in the third
period, shove the Terrors back be-
hind their own goal line for a
safety, score a touchdown, point
after, and field goal, and then coast
along on that lead. 1t proved suffl-
cient although the Terrors were
in constantly threatening mood
throughout the final half.
TerrOrs Are Underrated.
Western Maryland was a woefully
underrated opponent tonight - far
a honest-to-go triple-threater,
With their back1eld ace, Ed Elder,
"a nest-to-goodness triple-threater
harassing Maryland at the f1anks
and through the air, the little up
State squad gave its rival a bitter
argument.
1t was the Terrors, as matter
OF fact, who made the initial thrust
into enemy territory in the first
period, and they carried the fight
to Maryland early in the fourth
period in a gallant but futile effort
to avoid a Whitewash
But Maryland had scoring
punch, and superior man power, and
used both with telling effect.
Mueller Brings First Point.
Leo Mueller paved the way for
Maryland's first score, then person.
ally attended to it by smearing Elder
behind his own goal line as he
juggled a bad pass from center for
a safety. Mueller, who like Beamer
and Dwyer. played smashing game
at the fanks, first drove Elder to
his own 8-yard line, then followed
with the coup de grace.
This score came on the heels of
Mondorff's second fruitless attempt
at field goal, boot from the 13-
yard stripe that missed the mark by
q wide margin. His first attempt
was from the 29-yard midway in
the second period, but it too, was
low and outside.
The poker-faced Emmitsburg toe
expert finally made good later in
the period, however, arching a
beautiful kick through the posts
from his 29-yard line after Western
Maryland had braced on its own
9-yard line and hurled back three
running plays. But that's getting
ahead Of the story.
Mondorff Dashes Across.
It was Mondorff who put the fin
ishing touch to Maryland's lone
goalward march of the evening,
hitting outside right tackle and
outdistancing the Terrors' secondary
on 19-yard jaunt to the final
chalk mark.
The touchdown followed the
safety with lightning rapidity after
Maryland returned the kickoff to
Western Maryland's 3O-yard line.
Mearle Duvall pegged fast pass
oyer the line to Mueller, who
planted the ball on the 10, and Mon
dorff took up the burden at that
juncture.
A second Maryland touchdown
was nullified by a clipping penalty
early in the fourth period after
Bernie Ulman gathered in one of
Elders passes on his own 25-yard
stripe and ankled 75-yards through
a broken field over the goal line.
But the play was recalled and pos
session of the ball returned to the
Terrors at midfleld.
- Later in the period Johnny Boyda
intercepted another Western Mary
land aerial and raced IS yards to
the enemy 35, but again Maryland
was penalized, this time for unnec-
essary roughness, and again they
lost possession of the ball.
Long March Is Futile.
Maryland's first real march of the
evening got under way late in the
second period when Widener, Duvall
and Mondorff ripped off four con-
secutive first downs in a 59-yard
drive to Western Maryland's 81, but
the game upstate eleven held and
Mondorff tried his first field goal.
Maryland threatened again early
In the third period, reaching the
foes 5-yard line with Mondorff and
Warfield tearing through the line
for sizeable gains. but it couldn t
muster scoring punch and again
Mondorf brought his vaunted kick
ing toe into action. A few minutes
later the Terps rang up their IL
points and victory.
Elder engineered Western Mary
lands last drive with a series of
three passes for as many first downs
that put the ball on Maryland's 80
Bricker, Stropp, who played a whale
of a game at end, and F. Smith were
on the receiving end. Ulman's inter-
ception broke up this rally Elder
was injured soon after and retired
