rapins' 80. From here the reserve
Hilltop team, led by a passing
kicking and plunging sophomore
named Ben Bulvin, ran and passed
to cross the goal in six plays. The
final touch was a 14-yard pass from
Bulvin to Substitute End Art
Lemke, who stood unguarded over
the line. The extra point that Bull
win kicked was nullified by a 15-
yard holding penalty agains,
Georgetown. Trying again, Bulvir
missed. Less than a minute of play
later the final gun went off.
Georgetown clearly was the
stronger, smarter team, especially
In the second half. The statistics
told powerful story. The Hilltop
pers rolled up II first downs to S

rushing to minus II. Only in pass
ing did the Terps gain more yard

aerials were intercepted and two

were set up by interruptions.
Maryland, which went into the
game as a 2-to-5 underdog. sur
prlsed the crowd by its spirited play
IN the first 20 minutes, when the
Ierraplns kept the Hoyas back on
their heels. Joe Murphy. l5l-pound
track Splinter who quarterbacks the
Old Liners, ran Is yards the first
time Maryland pulled a play. His
brilliant runbacks of punts kept the
crowd on its feet.
Early in the second period the Old
Liners got a break and their best
scoring chance of the game. Run
ming from his %, Ghecas was hit
hard. He fumhled and Bob Brown
tackle, recovered for the Terps.

Murphy then passed to Dick Shaffer
an end. but the play gained only q
yard. On fourth down Boyda at
tempted field goal from the 25-
yard line but it missed the posts
and Georgetown took over.
Maryland Carries Fight.
Maryland still was carrying the
fight to Georgetown, however, when
Murphy was taken out for a rest and
Mearle Du Vail. star passer of the
Terps, was inserted. Maryland had
the ball on the enemy Al when Du
Vail, a sophomore, made his ILL
starred debut. His first pass, in
tended for Sophomore Back Bernie
Ulman. was intercepted when Lilo
big right guard, leaped high and
claimed the ball for Georgetown in
midfield.
Georgetown pulled the widowed
hidden man" trick. Ghecas, lying
fiat on his stomach along the side
line, rose and grabbed a pass from
Koshlap on the first play. He scored
standing up but the officials ruled
that he stepped outside on Mary
lands q. The ball was brought
back and Georgetown tried one line
plunge for a small gain. Then, on
the next try, Koshlap threw his pass
to Kopcik for the first touchdown.
Toward the end of the third Pc
Rod Georgetown's superior power
began to tell. The Hoyas marched
as far as Maryland's II, where the
Terps braced. Lilo was sent back to
try a field goal from his IS, but he
missed. Then came the fourth
period. which found Maryland's
spirit willing but the flesh weak.
Terp Tactics Questioned.
This, plus some desperate strategy,
enabled the Hoyas to wind up with
a flourish. A tumble by Ghecas was
recovered by Ralph Albarano of
Maryland on his own AZ. DuVall
again was inserted to pass, but his
aerials failed to click and on fourth
down Murphy replaced the sopho-
more and dropped back to punt.
Maryland needed yards for a first
down, but, instead of punting, Muir
ply merely swung his foot and
the ball to Ulman, swing
ing wide. Georgetown was not
fooled and Ulman was brought
down on his own 40, the Hoyas TAX
ing over. Here, on the first play,
Ghecas atoned for his two fun
bles by twisting dash for the
second touchdown.
The rest of the game found Mary
land throwing passes of all lengths
and Georgetown intercepting most
Of them. With five minutes to 60,
Lou Falcone grabbed a pass which
skinned of the fingers of Mary
lands Frank Skotnicki and car
ried it back to the Terps' 80. An
odside penalty and two plunges
gave the Hoyas first down on the
% as Hilltop subs streamed in and
the crowd began to stream out. Bull
win banged the line twice and
reached the 8, but Georgetown was
penalized for offside. Pushed back
to the IA by the referee, Bulvin
passed on first down to Lemke over
