For a team beaten by a lopsided gcore, Western Maryland's achievements challenged creduli scored 13 first downs t> Georg s 10. It gained | 148 yards on forward passes to 56 for its opponent. It averaged almost 10| yards more to the punt. It had a margin, though a slender one, in rush- ing the ball—128 yards to 126. It com- pleted eight forward p: against three out of ompleted by Georgetown. All-in-all it gained 274 | yards from scrimmage against 184 fo its_enemy. But the story of victory and defeat | is not to be told in figures. Georgetown won because of its alertness in making the most of Western Maryland's me- cbanical errors and it made the triumph decisive partly by Coach Tom Mills’ strategic use of reserve power, Right End Hurlsy of Western Mary- ( land was thrown so hard after re- | turning the opening kick-off he fumbled and the Hoyas recovered on the Terror 34-yard line. They were held for downs right there, but later capital- | ized on the break, when, after an ex- change of kicks, a punt by Harold Koppe, the giant Terror fullback, was blocked on his own 18-yard line. Ray Hudson recovered for Georgetown, and he it was whe a moment later pounced upon a fumble by his own fullback, the lion-hearted Boardeau. which put Georgetown on the 5-yard stripe. Two line thrusts by Bordeau, one by Sellis and the ball was over, with Lione add- | ing the extra point. _The entry of Floyd Doughty, bril- liant halfback, put & lot of pep into the Western Maryland team toward the clote of the second quarter, and it ap- | peared the Terrors would sweep the | Hoyas off their feet.

A it was almost continuously extricating itself from dif- ficult positions and with the score| 6-to-0 against it, Maryland staged | a brilliant last ditch march that led to victory over Virginia, 7 to 6.} in the annual struggle between the two universities at College Park yesterday. It was a splendid| effort put forth by the Old Line | eleven in those closing minutes, | but an effort that was equaled| only by the bulldog tenacity and‘[ alertness with which Virginia played throughout. It was a great | game between two elevens S0 evenly matched that the margin| of difference probably is just| about represented in the barest possible margin by which Mary- | land won. Probably no other game played here |in years has developed more thrills. | From the first kick-off until the last | minuate it was just a case of not knowing what might happen next. Chalmers opened the contest by kick- ing to Myers, Virginia right halfback, who started down the field for what | seemed almost sure to be a touchdown. | He caught the ball within 10 feet of the sideline on his own 10-yard mark. Prom there he went straight up the sideline and at the 40-yard line started | to reverse his field. He broke clear and | had nothing but the grass and goal | posts in front of him. Berger, however, ,pulled him down from behind at the 15-yard line. | Old Liners Halt Threat. Maryland's defense at that point, though, was all that anybody could have asked. Three running plays and | & forward pass failed and the ball went over to Maryland. Poppelman then | broke through the line for a 30-yard | gain, was clear, but was pulled down | from behind by Thomas. Then on the | next play the same player got away for another 15 yards, but there Vir- ginia courage and strength began to show and both its forward wall and secondary defense proved invulnerable. Thomas pynted out of danger. Again Maryland started to gain, but this time its march was interrupted by a fumble on Virginia's 25-yard mark. Thomas got off a fine punt to Mary- land’s 40-yard line and Poppelman dropped the ball to have it recovered by Bryant, big and capable Virginia BY H. C. BYRD. FTER playing through 55| minutes of a game in which guard. Virginia, however, could not gain and punted deep into Maryland territory. Again the Old Liners had their backs to their goal and attempted a surprise forward pass play on their own 15-yard line. Virginia intercepted the ball and won for itself another scoring position. However, Maryland held and worked the ball out of danger by hard run- ning. The teams changed goals at the end of the quarter with the ball about the 40-yard line in Maryland's possession. Poppelman broke through the line for a gaih, but on the next play Berger fum- bled and Gravatt recovered for Vir- ginia. Here Maryland held on three downs, but on the fourth came Vir- ginia’s touchdown on a from Thomas to Sackett and the goal was missed. Makes Winning Drive. For the rest of the time up until that last five minutes Maryland kept gaining ground, but losing the ball in one way or another, with Thomas' punt- ing being a big asset to Virginia. Finally, Maryland got the ball in the middle of the fleld, when a Virginia pass on the fourth down was incom- pleted. Here Maryland inserted some Teplacements that brought new life. Kiernan, who went in for Berger, made & brilliant 25-yard run that was the | most important part of that drive. » | He and May, another reserve, then | from the 1-foot line. : | The teams lined up for the try for point* after touchdown and Maryland | | held its collective and individual breath | | while Chalmers poised for the boot. He centered the uprights, although the ball did not clear the bar by any too much margin for the decisive point.

MARY'S WINS FROM GALIFORNIA Flashy Aerial Attack Gives Second Big Victory in Two Weeks, 14 to 0. By the Associated Press. EMORIAL STADIUM, BERKE- LEY, Calif,, October 3.—Scar- let raiders from Moraga's Hills, St. Mary's swift-striking Gaels passed their way to a 14-to-0 vie-1 tory today over California’s Bears— their second triumph in a week over a Coast Conference eleven. Passes that snapped bullet-like over the heads of California’s secondary defense spelled defeat for the Golden Bears just as they did for Southern California’s Trojans a week ago today. In the first period, with the ball on California’s 46-yard line, the Gaels completed two long passes, one for 19 yards and one for 25 yards, to put the ball within 2 yards of scoring turf. On the next play Herb Fletcher, quar- terback, crashed over for a touchdown. 3| He converted the try for point with a place-kick that glanced off one of the uprights and sailed through. Again in the third quarter, a lightning aerial attack accounted for another touchdown. It followed a 76- yard drive down the fleld from St. Mary’s own 24-yard line, where Fletcher had intercepted a California pass.

HILADELPHIA, October 3.— The three pitchers who drew most of the early gos- sip in this world series were Grove, Earnshaw and Derringer. Two of them already have been beaten and the star to date has been Hallahan, the speedy left hander, who shut the Athletics out on Friday just as he did a year ago. No average pitcher is going to shut out this club of Mack’s two times in three starts. And there now is a chance that Hallaham may crowd Grove as the pitching hero of the show that opens again here Monday afternoon. ‘The discussion of future picthing as- signments now is the order of the day as experts find themselves entrenched in the Eastern citadel of the post-sea- son pageant. Mack can pitch either Grove or Walberg. The chances are he will pitch Grove to give his left-handed star as much Test as possible in case he is nezded for a decisive game later on in the week. Yet he could work Walberg on Monday, Grove on Tuesday and Eamshaw on Wednesday. and still have Grove ready in case the parade swings back to Missouri turf. Grimes Due Tomorrow. There isn't much doubt about Gabby Street working Grimes, if the veteran's arm is in shape. It hasn't been any too good lately, but now has had a useful Test. Grimes pitched two fine games & year ago, losing both, and if he is in shape he can be counted on to put up a stout front. That usually is his cus- tom in big money games. Also there is a feeling in the Car- dinal camp that young Derringer will be a far better pitcher at his next start. He needed the seasoning under fire which that first game brought him, where he was over-anxious and inclined to over-try. As it was, he struck out men in six or seven innings, but had too little reserve left when trouble be- gan to break upon the back of his neck. Grimes, Derringer and _Hallahan should be the first three choices for the next three games, ready to face Walberg, Grove and Earnshaw, even if the Athletic selection isn't made in this order. The second game brought out much better pitching in both camps than the first. Grove was far from his best on Thursday and Derringer was distinctly below normal.” Against this Earnshaw pitched well, but Hallahan pitched bet- ter ball and his pressure with men on bases was more than the Athletics could break down. Martin Is Series Hero. Earnshaw was mcre the victim of Pepper Martin's speed than he was of any Cardinal attack where both were used. So far this same Pepper Martin is the hero of the series. Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane, Jimmy Foxx, Chick Hafey, Charley Gelbert or Frank Frisch will have to move in a hurry to over- take the Oklahoma cyclone, who has been the main spark plug up to date. Martin has five bese hits to his credit, to say nothing of three stolen bases, all in two games. His play has been aggressive and full of fire from the start. He has taken chances at moments where they meant something and if he can hold anything like this clip he will be the outstanding star of the show. Pepper is a great young ball player and his feat of stealing the ball game in the second big show is something that won't be repeated in a world serles game for some time to come. As far as the clubs go, the Athletics outclassed the Cardinals by a wider margin on Thursday than the Cardinals outclassed the Athletics on Friday. But this means nothing in a short series. in factor favoring the Ath- t they are hard to beat at home, where last vear they won all three starts. Connie Mack was more than satisfied with Earnshaw's pitch- ing and is sure the same brand will win three times out of four. Interest Is Increasing. Interest in the series should increase from now on. It takes the first two games to break the ice and start the arguments going. There will be a world of interest in the next starts that Der- ringer and Hallahan make. Derringer, with the lesson he learned—and Der- rlng:: is smart—should be much harder to beat. Hallahan had to work his second game against the Athletics with a sore finger year, but this time he will have all the rest he needs. Any one ‘who crowds in the speed this southpaw uses needs all the time he can get be- tween important assignments. He opened fire against the Mackmen on Friday with all he had, and he still was giving them both barreis at tne fini This means heavy pressure and hard work. But he will have at least four days of rest before he is called on again, which should be next Wednes- day. So far the Cardinals have missed the normal batting strength of Jim Bot- tomley and Chick Hafey, two of their best sluggers. Hafey has had a tough time getting started, but he is about lue. So is Bottomley. For that mat- ter, Al S8immons has only one hit, and while that is a8 home run, he is looking at a smaller batting average than he carries around. Quite a time should be had before the show is over, taking it one way and another. (Copyright, 1931, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
