Air Game Gets Eagles
Their First Victory
As B|uejays Flop
Lone Scoring PIoy Made
By HupIess Baltimore
Team Is Recalled
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Johns Hopkins, which plays foot
ball exclusively for enjoyment and
exercise, preserved its pathetically
perfect record yesterday. The Blue
Jays retained their scoreless status
as hitherto punchless American
University registered a 21-0 victory
at Wilson High stadium.
Co-leaders of the Big Zero League
entering the engagement, American
and Johns Hopkins had avoided
touchdowns like leprosy. With prac-
tically no effort Johns Hopkins
achieved another cute circle to hang
beside the cipher it collected against
Washington College in its opener.
Banked by Susquehanna and
SWarthmore, American required no
Seeing Eye dog to direct it to pay
dirt against Hopkins, which doesn't
proselyte players or produce touch
downs. With its triumph American
deserted the Okies of the football
armament, leaving Hopkins to stew
in it's horse collars.
Hopkins Touchdown Recalled.
Twice when Hopkins threatened
to ruin its record it was rescued by
thoughtful performers. On one oc-
Casion the Baltimore boys manu-
factured an apparent touchdown
through the medium of pass. but
one of the Blue Jays had fore
thought enough to be conducting
himself illegally and the officials
nullifed it. Later Hopkins swept to
the 5-yard line through the air, but
again was saved by the same
method.
Hopkins was employing T for
mation-strictly Model Tin run
ming nowhere in particular. Tie
Model T sputtered and stalled at
inopportune moments, permitting
the Eagles to smother the Blue
Jays in the Audubon Society's an
nual scrap.
American was using its V forma-
ton more stylishly. In the first
period it swept 81 yards to score,
with Russ Arnaud travelling the final
5 yards, and manufactured other
touchdowns in the third and fourth
periods. with End Paul Weidler on
the business end of passes.
Arnaud Drives to Goal.
A 25-yard pass from Russ Atkls-
son to Bill Garland featured the
Eagles first-period attack, with Fred
Sharrah supplying some bulllsh
running to move to Hopkins s.
Arnaud entered the game at that
juncture and circled right end for
Americans initial score of the
season.
Held scoreless in the second
period, American struck through the
air for its second touchdown midway
in the third period. In this march,
which covered 54 yards, Atkisson
passed to Weidler for 20 yards. then
Garland whipped a 13-yard pass to
Weidler in the end zone.
Late in the fourth period A. U.
launched a 60-yard drive, with
Atkisson connecting on passes to
Weidler and Garland. Finally after
the Eagles had moved to Hopkins
Is, Atkisson shot short pass to
Weidler, who battered his way 7
yards to score. Ray Shepherd con-
verted after the final touchdown.
Merrill Hoover contributed the first
two extra points.
Bluejays' Bids Futile.
Hopkins big moment came in the
third period when James Russell
streaked SO yards with a kickoff
before being forced out of bounds
on the A. U. 26 by Garland. Tommy
Zinc then fired pass that bounded
off Warren Alonzo's hands into
Russell's, who crossed the goal line.
The officials called it back, however.
and later in the period also Cancelled
a long pass from Zinc to End Levy
on Americans 5.
Some 1000 home coming day
