BLACKSBURG, Va, Oct. 25.-
Maryland pulled football game out
of the fire against Virginia Tech this
afternoon, coming back after being
showed around for most of three
periods to score two last-quarter
touchdowns and nose out the Cob
blers, 21-19.
The Techmen, spurred by the
double incentive Of q $4,000 home
coming crowd and a desire to win
for Coach Jimmy Kits, who is un-
der fire from some almuni and
student groups, were in control much
of the way. They scored twice in
the first period and again in the
third, while Maryland was able to
count only in the second period be-
fore its late outburst.
1t was bullseye passing by Quart
erback Vic Turyn to Ends Elmer
Wingate and George Sinler that got
Maryland its first two touchdowns,
with the third due to a 32-yard
rush by Johnny Idzik after taking
a lateral from Turyn.
Penalties Aid Tech Team.
Aside from these scoring drives,
the Old Liners were unable to pene-
trate Tech territory except on two
occasions-and on both of these Lu
Gambino fumbled at goal to cost
the Terrapins almost certain touch
downs.
The first Gobbler touchdown was
very much tainted, 80 Of the A yards
needed for the scoring drivocoming
on penalties. Dick De Shazo, Tech
safety man, gave a late signal for
fair catch on a punt and Maryland's
Simler noticed the sign too late to
stop his rush. He barely touched
De Shazo, but drew a 15-yard
penalty.
Coach Jim Tatum Of Maryland
came few yards on the field to
protest and Tackle Joe Drach, Mary
land game captain, threw his helmet
to the ground in disgust. The Old
Liners drew another minus Is for
unsportsmanlike conduct.
From there it was an easy touch
down drive. De ShaZo making three
yards through tackle on the fourth
play to score.
Still in the first period, the Cob
blers made 1t 1919 when Ray Beasley
ran around left end and dashed
down the sideline for So yards. Ross
Orr's attempted placements after
both scores we're wide.
Terps Finally Find Goal.
Maryland was unable to get out
of its own territory in the first
period, but finally made it across
midfield in the second. A 37-yard
kickoff return by Gambino helped
a minor drive to Techs 40, but the
Tech line stopped the Old Liners
there. Shortly after, a raft of Mary
land players recovered De Shazo
tumble on the Tech 20. Turyn car
ried to the 5, but on the next play
Gambino fumbled at goal.
The Terrapins again got their
hands on the ball in Gobbler ter
ritory when Idzik returned a punt
to the 81 and this time they made
good. Turyn whipped a 14-yard
pass to Vernon Seibert, another of
13 yards to Wingate and a final
one of IL yards to Wingate for
touchdown. Tom McHughs place
ment was good after this and all
other Maryland scores.
The Gobblers opened the third
period with 59-yard touchdown
drive with De Shazo, Ray Beasley
and Horace Pearce grabbing big
chunks of yardage through the
Maryland line. The last eight yards
for Techs final touchdown was
pass from Quarterback Floyd Boles
to End Oren Hopkins. Orr made
his only successful placement after
this score.
Turyn's Passes Click.
Maryland made it's next threat
late in this period, 10 and IA yards
runs by Gambino helping carry
from the Old Line 40 to within
inches of a score. On the first play
of the final period, however, Gam
bino fumbled again. From then
on, though, it was all Maryland:
Getting the return punt on the
Tech 40, the Old Liners scored on
two plays, the second a 39-yard
pass from Turyn to Sinler. Simler
caught it all alone on the IL and
didn't even have to hurry across.
Turyn's passing set up Mary
lands final score. Tosses of 27 yards
to Francis Evans and Is yards to
Simler ate up much of the 78 yards
covered in this drive. The payoff
play was a lateral from Turyn to
Idzik good for 80 yards
Techs line outplayed Maryland's
through most of the game, with
such Gobblers as Tackle Jack
Ittner, End Jim Adams and Cen
ter Tom Burns standouts both on
ofense and defense. The Techmen
outgained Maryland on the ground,
235 yards to IS, but Maryland had
the same edge in the air, it's passing
