Tables Olympic Boycott Motion LAST PERIOD RUSH DECIDES THRILLER Field Goal Turning Point. Long Pass Gives Losers Their Touchdown. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Staft Correspondent of The Star, ALTIMORE STADIUM, Decem- ber 7—The Green Terrors of Westemn Maryland, famed as eleventh-hour gridiron artists, fell before a superior band of stretch runners today as the University of Maryland closed its season with a 22-to-7 victory. Before 10,000 thrilled spectators, | who braved a biting wind and some rain, Marylaud wiped away a 7-to-6 deficit with a furious final-quarter assault that accounted for two touch- downs and a fleld goal. The triumph gave the Terrapins the mythical State championship. Bill Guckeyson and superior reserve strength seemed to represent the main difference between the old rivals, who took to the air in daring fashion dur- ing the first half to score a touchdown apiece. Maryland, making good on & first-down pass deep In enemy terri- tory, assumed a 6-to-0 lead in the first five mioutes of play, only to see perhaps the longest pass ever thrown in this huge wooden saucer, plus & successful placement try, erase the | n. Not until the last period, when Western Maryland's “iron eleven” tired in battle against a stream of fresh replacements, did the Terps re- cover the snap in their attack. When they did, however, they lashed out with a ferocity that left little doubt as to which was the stronger team. Campbell Throws 55-Yard Pass. TRIKING with & viciousness that had the Terrors rocking on their heels throughout the entire first| period, Maryland’s forward wall surged in front of a puat by CUff| Lathrop early in the fray and Lou| Ennis recovered for the Terps on the enemy 10-yard stripe. Provided with the game's first “break,” the Old Liners quickly cap- italized on it. On the first down, despite earlier success at piercing the | Terror line, Quarterback Charlie El- linger called for a pass and so be- wildered was the Western Maryland | Coleman Headley | secondary that sprinted into the end zone unmolested to grab Guckeyson’s expert heave. Acting Capt. Charlie Yaeger missed the try for extra point. The Westminster band, never once in a position to either run or pass | in the first period, dug in its cleats to repulse a 36-yard march by the ‘Terps on the 6-yard line at the out- set of the second quarter and then struck back with lightning swiftness for its anly score. After a 15-yard penalty had given Western Maryland the ball on its 49- | yard line, Halfback Leroy Campbell faded back to his own 35-yard line and whipped an amazing pass which carried 55 yards in the air to End Stanley Benjamin. The big wingman, snatching the ball over the heads of two Maryland backs, stepped the re- maining 10 yards for the touchdown, and Jimmy Brennan, quarterback of the Western Marylands, booted a placement for the extra point and & 7-to-6 lead. Gormley Sends Terps Ahead. TTHE scene of battle shifted to Maryland territory during the re- mainder of the half, but it was a nip- and-tuck struggle in the third period, with Guckeyson’s smart punting play- ing a big part in thwarting the Ter- ror's scoring threats. Placing the ball expertly, Guckeyson did not al- low one of his eight kicks to be caught, and as a consequence, the Terrors falled to pick up a single yard in runbacks. Maryland, persistently trying the air, began to connect toward the end | of the third round, with the result | that when the final period started, the Terrors were backed up on their 11-yard stripe, Three thrusts at the line, however, failed to gain more than 3 yards and on fourth down Johnny Gormley dropped back and place-kicked a field goal from a diffi- cult angle to send the Terps ahead once again, 9 to 7. ‘The boot, looming large at the time, did not lose much of its importance despite the 18 points difference in final score. It changed the entire com- plexion of the game, Western Mary- land opening up with a reckless at- tack thereafter that directly led to one of the two forthcoming Mary- land touchdowns. That “break,” however, was preced- ed by another of Guckeyson's perfect punts, which bounded outside on the Terror 9-yard line. Reaching the 22, ‘Western Maryland fumbled and Frank de Armey recovered. From here the Terps drove straight to a touchdown on & series of line plunges and laterals. Guckeyson’s Run Chief Thrill.

EW YORK, December 7.—After voting to table a sweeping Olympic boycott resolution by & narrow margin, the Amateur Athletic Union's annual convention was precipitated into a wide-open debate on the controversy late today by attempts to put through a sub- stitute motion, toned down to sup- port American participation in the games but still protest Nazi athletic Ppolicies. The convention was split wide open on the whole issue as a direct conse- quence of the earlier tactical victory gained by proponents of American | participation, led by Avery Brundage of Chicago, the president of the American Olympic Commitiee. The vote to table the original boy- cott resolution, offered by Louis de Benedetto of New Orleans, was an- nounced as 61 to 55, minus fractions | which led to some subsequent dispute among tabulators of the balloting.

OLLEGE STATION, Tex., De- cember 7.— Coach Madison Bell's stampeding Southern Methodist Mustangs will bat- tle Stanford in the Rgse Bowl with an untied and unbeaten record. Play- ing in rain and on a sloppy field, they completed their great record today by smothering Texas A. and M., 24 to 0, to win their first Southwest Confer- ence championship since 1931. It was the Mustangs’ twelfth and final hurdle on a schedule that in- cluded some of the Nation’s outstand- ing teams. They scored in the first few minutes when elusive Robert Wilson, all-America halfback, raced through a broken field for 60 yards to & touchdown. The long gallop fired the Methodist crew to a high fighting pitch and not once did A. and M. have a chance for wvictory. Coach Claude E. (Tiny) Thornhill of Stanford, who scouted the Mus- tangs, remarked that they played an impressive game although he realized they never were under pressure. Coach Bell, once his charges had & substantial advantage, used numer- ous reserves in order to save his reg- ulars for New Year day at Pasadena. It was a typical Southern Metho- dist game, sprinkled with long touch- down runs, daring forward passes and a fleld goal by giant Maurice Orr, & le.

Devitt Prep Bows by 26 to 7 In Little Tobacco Bowl Tilt Special Dispatch to The Star. ICHMOND, Va., December 7.— Devitt Prep inhaled a bit too much of Phil Demuro’s smoke today and fell before Fork Union Military Academy, 26-7. in the American Legion’s “Little Tobacco Bowl” game at Richmond Stadium before 2,500 spectators. Playing under the direction of Mush Dubofsky, Georgetown Univer- sity line coach, in the absence of Coach Jim McNamara, Who Wwas called to New York by the A. A. U. to vote on the Olympic question, Devitt swept into an early lead but wilted before a concentrated last-half attack. Adam Zinkievich, bruising Washe ington fullback, accounted for Dev- itt’s lone tally in the second quarter, when he crashed off right tackle for three yards to score standing up. Zinkievich paved the way for the touchdown by intercepting an alien pass and romping 20 yards to the Cadets’ 15-yard line. An offside pen- alty advanced the ball to the 10- yard mark, and Zinkievich picked up the remaining distance in three ef- forts. Hardy took Zinkievich's pass over the goal line for the extra point. Marches 55 Yards, 'ORK UNION then unleashed a 55- yard touchdown parade, with the dazzling Demuro passing 15 yards to Olzack for the longest gain of the march to place the oval on Devitt's 12- yard line.

Jim Humphrey plunged over for the extra point to tie the score as the half ended. Jimmy Smith, substitute fullback, intercepted one of Zinkevich's heaves early in the third quarter and weaved his way 35 yards to Devitt’s 15-yard | line.
