EAST LANSING. Mich, Nov. "a
Tommy Mont and Leroy Morter
clicked on. two spectacular touch
down pass plays for Maryland to-
day, but their efforts were directed
toward . losing cause as Michigan
State pounded out 4 26-l4 triumph
over the Terps before 1928 shiver-
ing fans.
The Spartans. beaten hve times
this year on . rugged grid schedule,
rolled 81 and 85 yards in two tre-
mendous scoring drives and took
advantage Of Maryland fumbles for
two scoring bursts inside the Mary
land 25-yard line. It was the first
time in eight games that the Spar
tans scored more than three touch
downs in q game.
While the two fumblcs by Mont
and Bill Polling were disastrous to
the Maryland cause, only q generous
use Of reserves by State Coach
Charley Bachman In the second halt
kept the difference in the teams
10 two touchdowns.. Michigan State
held 26-7 lead early In the. third
quarter and the regulars did not
return until after Maryland scored
its second touchdown with only
three minutes to play.
Mont Stars for Terps.
Two Michigan State backs, elu-
sive. 5-foot Z, 16o-pound George
Guerre and Jim Blenkhorn, q fresh
man with tremendous drive, who
carried Maryland tacklers in piggy
back fashion, picked up more yard
age on the ground than the entire
Maryland team as the Spartans
rolled up 234 yards rushing.
Mont was Maryland's whole show
extensively. with the aid of Morter's
smart pass receiving. Trailing, i4-0,
midway In the second period, Mont
foated pass toward Morter which
was DETECTED into his hands by
Russ Reader Of the Spartans. From
the Michigan State %, Mont
dropped far back and pitched per-
feet aerial crossfield to Morter, who
took the ball on the Q and stepped
over for the score.
Coach Clark Shaughnessy stuck
to Vic Turyn as his quarterback
in the first and third periods and
through part of the fourth, but with
Mont back In there late in the game,
Maryland scored again, with Mont's
two first-down sneaks setting up the
score.
Mont Passes to Morter.
From the Michigan State "A Mont
again wanted plenty of time and
raced back toward midfield before
turning for the throw. He timed
the pass to Morter in the end zone
to perfection and Leroy grabbed the
ball from three defenders for the
score. Mont added the points from
placement after both touchdowns.
Maryland drove to the Spartans' Z
in its first offensive gesture, but
Turyn's end-zone pass was inter-
cepted by Carl Cappaert and State
was Oh. State worked the ball to-
the Maryland 50. and Guerre. shot
a short pass to Lynn Chandnois,
who hit for the sidelines and eluded
Polling and Turyn as he raced 80
yards for touchdown.
Guerre, a Baragus-type runner,
and Blenkorn, a power man, part
ed the Maryland line in the second
period to reach Maryland territory.
Guerre, almost trapped, tipped a
pass to Warren Huey, who staggered
to the Maryland 4 before he fell.
Chandnois went wide for the touch
down. Matt Mazza added the points
after the first two scores.
State scored again before the half
when Mont fumbled and John
Wheeler and Pete Fusi recovered on
the Terps 20. On the first play
Blenkhorn cut of guard, weaved
through the Terps and finally cut
wide for the score.
State Aided by FumbIe.
Poling's tumble helped State to its
third quarter touchdown. Bill Bald
