1910, on Touchdown
In Final Minute
Continued From First Page.)


1913 tie.
Fumbles Hurt Terps.
Two fumbles hurt Maryland in
the opening period. when the red
Shirted Sugar Bowl champs
threatened to take command. The
first time the Terrapins got the
ball. they moved from their own
"a to Missouri's 81. All this was
done with a ground game. Then
after Scarbath missed a pass, he
gave the ball to Halfback Ralph
FELTON,, who fumbled on the IT.
gers "a. and Missouri recovered.
After Bill Rowekamp punted
out, Fullback Ed Barritt broke
loose for Is yards but he, too
fumbled. Again Missouri recov-
cred, but on fourth down Rowe
kamp also fumbled and Tackle
Bob Morgan fell on the ball, for
the Terrapins on their 81.
Again Barritt, Hanulak and
FELTON, began ripping off gains, but
the drive begged down on Mis-
Souri'S %. When FELTON, lost eight
yards and a pass by Scarbath fell
uncaught in the end zone, Mary
land attempted a field goal. Bob
Laughery, sophomore fullback, was
far short. kicking from his 80.
Then it was that Missouri had
the upper hand. Faurot's team,
beaten by Maryland last year,
$50, virtually ditched the coach's
famed split-T and began to con-
centrate on its spread. The Ter
rapinS didn't seem to know how
to combat it.
Missouri's first score came after
a punt by Bernie Faloney from
deep in his own territory was re-
turned to the Old Liners 40 by
Ed Merrifield. A pass from Tony
Scardino to Left End Jim Jen-
ningS was good for 18. Scardino
hit Rowekamp with another pass
to move the ball to Maryland's
10. Then Scardino shifted back
to Jennings.
Caroms Into Teammates Arms.
The stocky little quarterback
overthrew the ball and it skipped
of Jennings f1ngertips and car
omed into the arms of Halfback
Bud Maxim, who went across for
the touchdown after 7:25 of the
period.
One OF the two Maryland passes
that were intercepted started the
Tigers on their way to their Sec
ond score. Merrif1eld grabbed an
aerial by Scarbath on his Al.
Halfback Bill Fessler made a Spec
tacular catch of pass by Mis-
souri's other quarterback, Jim
Hook. in the key play Of this
drive. It was good for first down
on the Old Liners 6-yard line.
Hook and Rowekamp picked up
three yards, but on third down
Rowekamp fumbled. Hook re-
covered on the S and the Tigers
elected to try a field goal. Only
56 seconds of the quarter were
left when Fuchs kick boosted the
score to 100.
The Terrapins seemed licked at
the half and more Thoroughly
licked in the third period when
their deepest penetration failed.
A Junior halfback, Dick Nolan.
returned a Tiger punt to Mis-
souri's AZ. A long pass, Scarbath
to Hanulak, was good for a first
down on the II. Scarbath on a
keep" play. Mached the 13 but
that was all. One pass by the
Baltimore styliSt was incomplete
and Faloney took over at quarter
back. He couldn't find receiver
on his first effort but he did on
the next pass-a Missouri re-
ceiver named Guy Rose. He inter-
cepted on his own 3 and the Tigers
kicked out.
FELTON, Scores on Pitchout.
In the. final moments Of the
third period, Nolan got into the
intercepting act. He tagged down
one of Scardino's attempts on his
own 43 and at long last the Terra
pins began to live up to their press
notices. They pounded to a first
down on Missouri's Is in the open
ing seconds of the final quarter
and then FELTON, took a pitchout
from Scarbath and skipped
around his own left end to score.
After 5-yard penalty for
illegal substitution, Don Decker
attempted the extra point but it
was blocked by Rowekamp. a star
both at offensive fullback and de-
fensive end. This left the score at
1916.
After series of punt exchanges, |
Missouri made it's last scoring
bid. The Tigers got a first down
on the Old Liners 5, but were
hurled back to the 8 when, on
fourth down, Fuchs kicked from
his Is. The pass from center was
high, giving Crytzer time to block
it.
Now the ball was Maryland's on
its 20 with 3::35 left to play. Scar
baths third-down pass to Hanu-
lax put the ball on the Missouri
33 and gave the Terrapins a life.
But when two running plays lost
a yard and another of Scarbath's
aerialS went astray, it looked
dark. Then came the Scarbath-
to-Colteryahn eye pepper to save
the day.
Last Defender Misses.
Colteryahn seemed to be a dead
duck when Co-Captain Bob
Schoonmaker had clear shot at
him. But the Tiger halfback
made his bid too quickly and fell
short. When Decker made good
on his extra-point try, it wrapped
up the game by a 1910 margin.
Tatum's post-game comment
was: Maryland played better than
I expected but Missouri was great.
That spread of Faurot'S was much
