Pictures Show TerpS
Really Earned Grid
Win Over Terrors
Reveal Wright Crossed
Cool Twice for Score
Thut Wos DisoIIowed

Motion pictures of the Maryland
Western Maryland game, unSpooled
last night for the first time, disclose
that an officials ruling. denying the
Terps a touchdown on their first
goalward march, cost them vic
tory and was responsible for the
6-6 Stalemate.
The film clearly shows Jack
Wright, Maryland fullback, plung-
ing over the goal line twice, accord
ing to Coach Faber, but each time
the ball was brought back to the
l-yard stripe and Western Maryland
finally got possession on downs on
its half-yard mark.
Will Make No Protest
While the issue evidently is closed,
for Fsber intends to make no pro-
test and the score is in the record
book. the Old Line mentor obviously
was chagrined by the pictures. 1t
was Furnishing blow for Maryland,
which hoped to come up to the
Duke game this week united as we'll
as undefeated and easily might
have repercusSions at the box Office
But worse than that, in Faber's
opinion, was the immediate reaction
among his own players. A touch
down at that juncture would have
given them some elbow room for
trying plays they didn't dare use
after Wright's futile plunges. 1t
also meant that Tommy Mont, who
was directing the attack at he time.
used sound judgment in his selec-
ton of plays and did not call the
wrong one. AS Western aryland'S S
goal-llne stand would indicate.
81 The MIN, according to F'aber
shows it would have been impossible
for Wright's knees to have been
on the ground and that only fast
whistle on the play could have
stopped him from scoring.
Mier's Services Needed.
Maryland scrimmaged yesterday
as Faber began search for a re-
serve fullback to help Wright in the
event that Jack Mier is unable to
play this week Mier played only
one minute of the Terror game be-
cause of a leg injury and Wright
| worked the other SO. The burly
ed-head won't be able to pull that
iron man stunt on Duke.
John Morton and Harold Berry,
guards. and Bob James, rookie end
also are on the ailing list, but
should be ready for the Blue Devils
Joe Hoopengardner, reserve back
probably will be lost for the season
because of his trick knee, which
popped out of place agan yesterday

Some in this country would like
to see all firearms registered, which,
Of course. would include sporting
arms as we'll as those kept in the
home for personal protection. They
have succeeded in interesting a
small minority in several Congresses.
Just recently another attempt to
accomplish their aims was made
through the property seizure bill,
which has passed the Senate, by
providing for the communicating of
any military or naval equipment,
supplies or munitions for the de-
fense of the United States
Under the guise of emergency leg
islation this bill would have accom-
plished not only registration OF
sporting arms but would have al
lowed confisca ton.
KiIday Saves Situa tion.
Representative Paul J, Kilday,
Texas. in tacking 10 the bill an
amendment which provides that
nothing contained in this act shall
be construed to authorize the re-
QUESTIONING or require the registra-
ton of firearms possessed by any
individual for his personal protec-
/ ton or sport, or be construed to
impair or infringe the right of any
individual TO keep and bear arms"
saved the rights of Sportsmen Tor
the time being.
The vote of 254 to 81 on this
amendment is indicative of feeling
in the House that will not permit
of any compromise when the bill is
returned to the Senate.
The anti-flrearms proponents have
been forestalled again. but they will
make another attempt as soon as
/ the hullabaloo over this failure to
7 subdue and disarm a democratic
citizenry has died down, for. in view
OF their persistence over a period
of 20 years it is difficult to believe
. they would stop now.
Registration of firearms would not
bring to light those held by the un-
derworld. Neither would con-
glomeration of fowling pieces, small
caliber rifles and an endless assort-
be OF any use to the Government for
national defense. They are of real
defense value in the hands of their
owners.
Drought Hits Hunting.
The longest fall drought in more
than half a century has closed
hunting in many States. Until the
bans are off any long hunting trip
should not be undertaken until full
information as to the condition of
the area in which the trip is to be
made is ascertained. Early season
hunters are bound to find hunting
seasons confusing everywhere in
the East.
Maine woods are the driest in the
memory of any one. So far rabbit
and quail hunters are the only
ones affected, for the season on

BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Just before the Redskins opened
their season. we remember writing
something to the effect that their
chances of successfully defending
the Eastern title would depend upon
the kind of showing they made in
their first two games.
AS we recall, we said that the In
dians didn't have to win both games,
or even one-the e,ll-important fac
tor being the impression they made
in competition with their leading
sectional contenders. the Giants and
the Dodgers
Now that those games are his
tory. the time for quibbling is past,
and here's our belief:
Barring injury to key players of
either team, the Eastern champion
ship again definitely is between
Redskins and Giants and, for the
fifth successive year it may not be
decided until the last day of the
season.
Rookies Show Decided Worth.

Giants are superior to the Dodgers.
and the Redskins are improving
gradually with every start. By the
end of the campaign, or on Novem-
Der %, they should be ready to
square accounts with the Giants for
that opening game defeat. If the
Skins can get by their interSectional
games with the Bears and Packers
while the Giants are facing the less
dangerous Cardinals and Lions. the
Redskin-G game in New York
on November % should decide the
Eastern title.
Maybe the heat had something
to do with their performance, but
We just can't see the Dodgers after
their stand against the Redskins.
For the heat unquestionably had the
same effect on the Skins who. in
spite OF it. should have had two

hand. only once advanced as far as

they get cooler weather. the Red

margin.
FiIchock Boosts Skins Stock.
But undoubtedly the greatest sim
gle cause for the rise of the Red
skins stock has been the revealed
/ brhliance of frankie Filchock as a
running back, paSser and smart field
general. For guy who had been

A scatback who can dust bv the

the finishing touch to his potent v

mentor believes.

Saturday.
Two Frosh Being Eested.
Meanwhile Russ AtkiSson and
Dick Zarback, both freshmen. will
get chance to show their swift
ness against Swarthmore this week.
Zarback, product of Fork Union
Military Academy, is light, scaling
only $50 pounds, but aggressive and
rather fast. He scampered off for
couple of touchdoWns in scrim-
mage yesterday, but Cassell can't
make up his mind whether it was
because he's fast or the rest of the
squad is slow. Saturday should tell.
AtklSson packs more beef than
zarback, 172 pounds to be exact, and
has shown to advantage in practice.
A good passer and fair kicker, At

man as a passer. and if he comes
through for the Eagles he'll spread
a lot of woe and desolatio in the
camps of the enemy.
Will Use Trick Stuff.
The Eagles also will resort more
to trick plays than they did in
bowling to Susquehanna The power
worked well enough between the 90
ward stripes, but not within striking
distance of the goal, and Cassell
figures a bit of dipSy-doo at the
right moment will provide a scoring
punch.

scout reports on the w. and L.-Ken-
tucky game indicate the downtown
gridmen will have some unruly
guests to entertain.
Ciesla Is Scoring Threat.
While the Generals net yardage
gained was not high, Ciesla was a
constant threat to the Wildcats and
for a time had them running in
circles. He's the kind of a kid who
can get lost easily in broken field
and turn up on the other side of the
goal line. Running with him were
a couple of Sophomores who appear
In have the makings of good backs,
Paul CaValiere and Ed Marx. and
O. w. will have an eye peeled for
all three.
Washington and Lees line play
was featured by Hard Ailor, 2O5-
Mound tackle: Bill Furman, the
other tackle: Bill Gray, a battling
guard, and Joe Littlepage, a center
of first water. Scout reports on
the Kentucky game indicate the G.
VS. will need crowbars, siedge ham
ners and a small derrick to get
these men out of the way.
The sting of their setback by
Manhattan figures to goad the
Colonials to new heights this week

by holding Kentucky to one touch
