its goal of snatching the national
collegiate crown yesterday at Col

its fourth consecutive overwhelming
triumph.

termission it merely was a matter of
bookkeeping for the Terps.
Thriving in steady rain which
drove only few of the 5000 spec

Maryland in lead which it never
relinquished. The Terps increased
the gap to So at the end of the first
period, clung to a 6-3 lead at half

capitalize on it's few scoring op-
portunities and six costly errors
which Maryland sandwiched into
the proceedings.
Only two of Michigan's runs, in

ritching of Maryland's Pershing
Mondorff, a converted infielder, was
nullified. by that erratic fielding.

only one match as Abernathy OF
