For Blue Devil Tally
In Final Quarter
By Burton Howkins

Maryland's end zone, unexplored
territory in three previous games
twice was pierced by Dukes hard
hitting football team yesterday,
but the Blue Devils escaped with
a 1912 victory at Griffith Stadium
because the underdog Terps failed
in quest of a successful place kicker
The Terps' place-kicking def
ciencies plunged q generous portion
of a homecoming crowd Of 2l,914
into dismay, for otherwise Maryland
was q glittering. gallant club in
its first major test. The Old Liners
were electrifying at intervals, but
with conquest in their grasp their
attack sputtered and died-impaled
on glum developments Of their post
touchdown activities.
Twice the Terps summoned Tom
McHugh to boot extra points after
touchdowns, but the 21-year -old
sophomore was thwarted first in
an attempt to present Maryland q
tie at TT and again at q time when
Maryland could have commanded a
1877 lead. McHugh had converted
successfully seven straight times
in the Terp's first three games.
McHugh's failure to lift the Terps
to a tie or triumph wasn't strictly
his fault, for on the first occasion
an errant pass from Center jim
Brasher was responsible for wide
boot. On the second try, Dukes
Louis Viau sifted through Mary
lands line to block McHugh's kick
Terps' Goal Try Misses.
In the fourth period, after Mary
lands attack had stalled on Dukes
9, Tackle Jim Goodman attempted
field goal from the 18, with Mary
land bidding for 1918 advantage.
That attempt was low and. wide,
however. and Duke clung tenaclously
to its 1912 margin.
Duke, never defeated by Maryland
in their six games, struck midway
in the first period for a TO lead
Whenthe Blue Devils talented Fred
Folger unleashed a pass to Tommy
Hughes, who snatched the ball on
Marylands 80, wrested free from
Joe Tucker, fumbled on the Terps
%, but recovered at full speed and
sprinted into the end zone. The
play covered 81 yards.
End Mike Souchak then gave the
Blue Devils what developed to be
their margin of victory, pumping a
placement between the bars.
Ray Krouse, burly Maryland
tackle, sent Folger limping from
the field as the result of a 1arring
stop of the Duke ace and the Terps
began to move in the second period.
With Vic Turyn directing the
drive, Maryland moved 43 yards in
eight plays to score late in the Sec
ond period. Hubie Werner supplied
an 11-yard gain and Vern Seibert
streaked around left end for 13
yards to Dukes 10 as the most ex-
plosive sprints in the surge.
Werner Scores for TerpS.
Turyn smashed left guard for two
yards and an offside penalty moved
Maryland to Dukes 3. Turyn made
yard at right tackle and Werner
battered within inches of the goal
line at the same spot. Werner then
slashed through left guard for
touchdown, but Duke held 7-6
halftime edge as McHugh's place
ment scared wide.

for a 1877 lead in the third period
after a clipping penalty had set the
Terps back to their 18. Employing
laterals literally, the Terps advanced
to Dukes 43, where Earl Roth took
another backward flip from Turyn
and streaked 80 yards to Dukes l0.
Turyn then unleashed a perfect peg
down the middle to Stan Karnash,
who caught the ball in the end zone
to hoist Maryland into a 1877 lead.
Viau smeared McHugh's attempted
conversion.
Duke promptly swept to its payoff
touchdown after Maryland's Ed
Schwarz had kicked off into the end
zone. The Blue Devils lost 2 yards
in stab at the line, but Bill Cox
sprinted around right end, crashed
through a cluster of Maryland
tacklers on the Duke 80 and went
the remaining 10 yards unmolested
for touchdown trip of 81 yards.
Tommy Hughes try for the extra
point was wide.
Again Maryland fought back.
The Terps swept from their "a to
Dukes 8 early in the fourth period,
but at that point Maryland aban-
doned its ground gaining and took
to the air. Turyn missed on a pass
