Little Men Are Stars
As Maryland Turns
Back V.P.l., so
By MerreII WhittIesey

Until the University of Mary
lands good big team of returned
servicemen and potential All-Amer-
icas can find itself, it looks like
Maryland's good little team of hold
over football players will have tf
take care of the credits on the
Terp gridiron ledger.
1t was the little men, the Vic
Turyn-quarterbacked team, not q
200-pounder in the lot and all but
one holdover from Paul Bryant's
1945 team, that beat v. P. l., 60
last night at College Park. Mary
land had previously lost to Rich
mond and North Carolina.
The crowd of 1000 hung around
for the full so minutes as there
was considerable doubt that Mary
land would win the game after 5s
minutes and so seconds of play
The Gobblers were on Maryland's
1-foot line at the time, fourth down
inches to 60, after an electrifying
75-yard pass play, but they nigh,
as we'll have tried the brick wall
of Ritchie Coliseum for that big
foot. The Maryland line gave just
about that much.
Turyn's light team Of ten 1945
letter winners and one carryovel
from 1884 Bob TrolD. featur-
ing 161-pound Dick Johnston al
left guard and 170-pound Bob Cros-
land at right end, provided the
touchdown punch and held the
Gobblers in check in their stay.
Turyn's club played the first
quarter even up with the favored
Techmen. Tommy Mont's club took
over at the outset of the second
period and that was all right with
the Gobblers. They marched to the
16, 13 and IL on three powerhouse
drives led by Ralph Beard, Harry
Walton and Dick De Shazo, but tc
Mont's teams credit, 1t held deep
In its own territory.
Coach Clark Shaughnessy sent
Turyn's team back in at the start of
the second half and with Turyn
the ball on every play from
the formation, the boys marched
to q score without losing the ball
Turyn passed to Crosland over an
and ineffective v. P. /
defense for a first down on the II
and Bill Polling went wide for the
score. v. P. rs All-America tackle
candidate, John Markas, the stand
out lineman of the game. blocked
Harry Bonk's try for the point.
Throughout the third period and
most of the fourth the Turyn team,
with only few requirements,
pushed v. P. I. back down the field
and aided by some timely out of
bounds kicking by Polling, held the
Gobblers' offense in check. In fact,
it was difficult to understand how
the Gobblers managed to tie North
Carolina and Virginia before being
swamped, 49-0, by William and Mary
last week.
Turyn was hurt late in the last
quarter and Shaughnessy went to
midfield to help him to the bench
as the rabid Maryland rooters gave
Turyn a standing ovation. Mont
came in, fumbled on the first play
and just missed having a pass inter-
cepted before he redeemed himself
The Gobblers were back on their 20
when Maynard Bruce lateraled to
Harry Walton, who heaved slow
pass to Beard, waiting unattended
at midfield. Mont caught him on
the five. Smith, Bruce and Beard
made 42s yards, but Beard couldn't
make the big foot. 1t was Mary
lands ball and Mont ran out the
clock on a quarterback sneak.

Spencer's 142 Takes
District Open Title
By Two Strokes

When Cliff Spencer was golf pro-
fessional at the Prince Georges Club
a few years ago, he'd make a small
wager that he would shoot 10 or
better every time he played the
par 72 layout.
Had Spencer made that bet yes
terday he would have won in the
morning. with a 10, and lost in the
afternoon, with a 70, but that 142
total was good enough to win the
District Open championship by two
shots over strong field of Sc.
The 39-year-old East Potomac
pro was the man to beat from the
minute he stepped on the first tee
and smacked well-placed, but not
particularly hard-hit drive in the
middle of the green on the 315-yard
par-4 first hole. He 2.putted for
a birdie.
Chips Into Cup for 3.
Spencer, twice runnerup in the
District Open, was one shot off the
pace with first nine 35 and led
by stroke with a morning 70,
thanks to an eagle on the 18TH,
where he Clipped into the cup for
3. He was out in 81 in the after
noon, counting a left-handed sac
rlflce shot that cost him a stroke
on the eighth, and came back in 35.
The new champion had the man
he feared most, Lew Worsham, as
playing partner, and Cliff remained
from one to four strokes ahead
throughout the day. Worsham,
with 74-70, tied Baltirnore's Johnny
Bass for second as the latter scored
71-73
Fourth and fifth money winners
made the grade despite travel diff
culties. The plane that brought
Johnny Kelly from Norfolk was two
hours late and he played SO holes,
without lunch, in 512 hours and
posted 73-72-145. Andy Gibson,
also late, rushed back from New
York, where he met his wife who
returned from Scotland, and Andy
shot 74-72 to tie District Policeman
Keith Kallio with 72-74 Al Jamison
completed the prize list with IA
73-147.

Griffith won his last pennant, by buying or
trading for all the old timers he felt had one more
good year in them and the 1888 Mats won for him.
But in 1884 the old-timers-Crowder, Manush,
Whitehill Goslin, Sewell, Stewart and the rest
fell apart and finished seventh "And ever since
we've been patching up" admitted Griff.
Now want young club. I want kids who
like to play ball-not men who play because that's
what they're paid for. I want team like the

There's the highest tribute this bureau has

Mexican Gridders
Tricky and Gritty
Losing 10 Dewitt
Ry Bill Euchs

The Mexico City Spitfires showed
5000 fans at Griffith Stadium
last night how they built up
a reputation of being fast and
tricky. For even though the scrappy
team from south of the border lost,
28-19, to a heavier Dewitt eleven,
they handled the pigskin as though
they owned 1t and worked the T
formation as though they had in
vented 1t.
Had it not been for an annoying
halfback named Ed (Dixiel La
Covey, who accounted for all four
Dewitt touchdowns on long runs, the
Spitfires might have triumphed with
ease.
La Covey rounded end in the first
period for IS yards to the Mexican
3 and went over on the next play,
In the same period La Covey took
the kickoff following Uriel Ala
triste.s touchdown pass to Eduardo
Keys and raced 60 yards to break a
TT tie. The Spitfires never again
caught Dewitt, but they never
stopped trying.
Steals BAH to Score.
Neatest trick of the night was
pulled by Mexico's Mario Martinez,
who stole the ball out of De Celle's
hands on the Spitfires' ii and ran
unmolested to pay dirt.
Outstanding player for the visitors
was Quarterback Alatriste, whose
passes accounted for two of their
three touchdowns
The Mexican Ambassador, Antonio
Espinosa de los Monteros and the
Mexican Minister Rafael de. la
Colina watched the game. flanked
by representatives of the State De-
partment including Guy Ray, chief
of the Division of Mexican Affairs;

HAROLD ROTH, DR.
 HARVESTER ARE
 REPORTED MISSING

According to radiogram receiv- cd by pr. James c. Ryan, two seward men, Harold Roth, Superin- tendent of the Seward School and former teacher in Juneau schools, and Dr. Ray c. Canister, President of the Seward School Board, have hsen missing since last Thursday. The wire was sent by Mrs. Roth and contained little information except that her husband and Dr. Banister were enroute from Seward to Homer last Thursday and failed to reach their destination.
 pr. Ryan revealed that Dr. Banis- ter owned small private plane and believes that he and Roth may have been forced down somewhere in the mountains or tundra of the Kenai Peninsula If this is the case. Dr. Ryan feels that since both men are very familiar with that part of the country end are of the hardy, outdoor type, the missing pair may have made camp some where or are making their way to the nearest settlement.
 Word is expected from the CAA in Anchorage on details of the searching parties. Approximately 500 people are engaged in the search for the missing men throughout the area between Seward and Homer, but so far, there has not been any further report.
