1erps Nip Dartmouth
Rally in 9Th, Save
81 Home Start
Hit Their Way to Brace
Of ToIIies; Homer Gets
lndions' Scores
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

With two prodigious batting
strokes in the ninth inning, Dart
mouth tossed bad case of jitters
into Maryland's ranks yesterday ut
College Park, but the Indians missed
their final scoring opportunity and
this little oversight enabled the
Terps to squeeze out a 80 victory In
their first home game of the base
ball, season.
Dartmouth's outlook was as dark
as the threatening storm clouds
overhead when the first Indian
stepped to the plate to open the
final frame. Maryland, industri-
ously nicking away at Lendo, Hughes
and McNary, had accumulated
tidy 30 lead and with Lefty Earl
Springer singing f1ngerwaves at the
enemy 1t seemed sturdy enough to
withstand any last-minute rush.
But Springer, who apparently
cannot be disturbed with anything
less than a sizeable charge Of dyna-
mite, lobbed one down the groove
and "Blackie" Sommers padded it
into left field for home run. It
wouldn't have been so bad If Leib
Mcdonald, Maryland shortstop,
hadn't given Jim Dewey life on
wild throw to Newt Cox at first. 1t
meant an extra and unearned run
for the visitors.
Big Indian Left At Third.
Mickey McNary, Dartmouth pitch
er whacked the next pitch into deep
right field for a triple, arranging
the trappings for the tying run.
There was only one down at the
time. Dick Burns then rif1ed
long, hard line drive to Hugh Keller
in left and the Terp ace cut loose a
peg toward the plate that missed its
mark by several feet and bounded
into the backstop. McNary would
have been home with time to spare
but he overlooked the important
matter of tagging up" after the
catch and had to scramble back to
third to prevent double play.
1t was costly oversight for
Springer disposed of Broberg in
short order for the game-clinching
out.
Dartmouth outhit the Terps. eight
safeties to seven. but Master
Springer saw to it that none of the
blows came in pairs until the ninth
rolled around. and he struck out five.
Maryland got gift run in the
second when Culver was safe on
Dewey's error and went all the way
to third when Sommers let a pitch
get away from him. He counted on
Rudy's fly to center.
Two Terp Runs Earned.
The next two runs. however, were
well deserved and were scored on
clean hits. Keller doubled to left
with one gone in the fourth and
sprinted home on Culvers single.
Hugh's hit would have gone for
more. quite possibly a homer on a
dry field, but the ball stuck in the
soggy turf.
Maisel scored in the eighth after
rapping single to center. moving
up on McDonald's sacrifice bunt.
and going the rest of the way on
Bengoechea's single.
