the first two quarters. Maryland
looked strong briefly at the start
of the third period. but the Terps
didn't keep it up after scoring on
a pass from Scarbath to Lou
Weidensaul with about seven min
utes gone in, the quarter.
After the Terps pulled up to
within six points, many Alabama
rooters feared that the extra point
Bobby Luna missed after the first
touchdown might cost the Crimson
Tide the game. But Alabama.
spanked by a 29-yard run by the
crashing NARROW, scored again
only a few minutes after the Terps
did and that seemed to decide the
issue. The last score came on a
pass lnterception 80 seconds be-
fore the game ended.
Terps' Marches Halted.
That the Terps were powerful
on occasion can be gathered from
the fact that they staged half a
dozen marches of from "a to 76
yards, yet failed to score on any
of these. Only a minute or so before
Weidensaul stepped into the end
zone for the only Maryland score,
the Terps had been held for downs
on the 1-yard line. Ralph FELTON,
was inches short of his goal on
fourth down after the Terps had
taken the second-half kickoff and
rs yards.
If the result of the game had
hinged on it, Alabama's second
touchdown might have caused
some repercusions similar to those
which followed the Notre Dame
Oklahoma game two weeks ago.
For it was a penalty on fourth
down that set up the score and
linesmen were pulled
offSide wnen Alabama backs
shifted into the old Notre Dame
Box formation. None of the off,
cials saw fit to question the mo-
tives of the Alabamans, so the rule
that provides 15-yard penalty
for Turing opponents offlsides was
not invoked.
It was the most one-sided de-
feat a Maryland team has suffered
since Vanderbilt walloped the
Terps, $50, in 1948. Tatum's Sec
ond year as head coach at College
Park. 1t also was the second time
in the last five seasons that the
Terps have suffered two straight
defeats.
Alabama Scores in IL Minutes.
Alabama's first score came IL
minutes after play began and it
came about after a drive that
went 73 yards in 13 plays. Quarter
back Hobson, who outdid Scar
bath as runner today, combined
with Fullback Tommy Lewis in
grinding out most of the yardage.
Lewis contributed a 13-yard run
and Hobson twice got away for
10 or more yards.
When the Alabamans got in
side the Maryland 20, two penal
Ties threatened to break up the
but Hobson got it going
again after being trapped while
Trying to pass. But some shoddy
Maryland tackling let him escape
and he ran to the 11-yard line.
On the next play, Luna passed
from the Notre Dame box to Bart
Starr, B-year-old freshman. for
! touchdown. Luna missed his
Try for the extra point.
The second score came midway
,f the second quarter and was
yet up when Scarbath was rushed
;rying to pass and fumbled. Ed
recovered for Alabama

Coach Praises H0bS0n.
Hobson. the only one Of the Ala

~ Coach Red Drew for particular
praise, got six yards at center
md then broke away for Is more
md first down on the IA. Lewis
md NARROW quickly made it first
lown on the four. but then the
rerps stiffened a bit. NARROW
eemed to have been trapped for

! long pass that fell incomplete.
On the fourth down, the Notre
Dame shift was called-just as
vas predicted in the press box by
everal writers, including Harry
Iehre, former Notre Dame center
vho later was head coach at Geor-
ia and Mississippi. The right
ide of the Maryland line was
,ulled offside and Alabama got

inc. Lewis smashed over for the
and Luna added the
'oint.
Despite the 13-point deficit, the
rerps came out fighting in the
