aryland Beat Florida, 13-7, but Mayberry Steps Into Spotlight Maryland Elates Big H — > ” Keeps Packed Homecoming Crowd on Edge—Terps’ Aerials Decide. By FRANCIS E. STAN. LORIDA'S Walter Mayberry was 7 all the tom-tom beaters said he was in the way of being an unsung all-America halfback, but Maryland packed too many guns for the 'Gators yesterday dt College Park, and, before a capacity home- coming day crowd of 9,500, won & 13-to-7 victory. Mayberry, a veritable team in him- gelf, offensively, kept the witnesses in their seats to the end as he rallied Florida’s bewildered forces in the sec- ond half and threatened to play havoc with Maryland’s only slightly hlem- ished record. . Disregarding convention, Mayberry was waiving the services of his team- mates and Florida plays .toward the end in & desperate bid to get loose. Faking passes, he permitted the two , teams to spread out and then stuck the ball under his arm and began to roll. He never quite got away but until the referee tooted his final whistle there always loomed the specter of this hook- nosed speedster scoring, either to tie or win for the "Gators he captains. Maryland, of course, had seen May- berry in the past, but it is doubtful if he ever put on a better show than he did yesterday. It was Mayberry who passed to Florida's touchdown, after almost single-handedly driving to pay territory. It was Mavberry who downed Maryland's Jim Meade on a , Kick-off when Meade had three inter- + ferers ahead of him and only May- berry to dodge for a touchdown. It was Mayberry whose punting got the 'Gators out of trouble half a dozen times and, well, wherever the ball might be, was Mayberry. Meade Gives Terps Jump. IN MOVING closer toward an un- commonly successful season the Marylands got the jump on the enemy from deep Dixie. Meade, rival of #Mayberry for individual honors, punt- ed beautifully to Florida's 3-yard line in the first 5 minutes and when End Blair Smith rushed Mayberry's punt the Terps got the ball on the ‘Gators’ 25-yard line. Maryland didn't waste time. Bill | Bryant, another Terp end, juggled | 8 high, hard pass from Charley Weidinger, grebbed it tight for a re- markable catch, and banged to Flor- ida’s 2-yard line. Meade plunged for the touchdown, but Bryant missed the extra-point kick. , Florida bounced back toward the “end of the period and threatened Maryland’s goal with the aid of an interference penalty. Mayberry threw @& long pass from his 35 and Ken Willis, who was to have received it. was hit by Weidinger. It was ruled infer- ference, the pass was called good and Florida was given the ball on the b-yard line. Here came Mayberry's only failure of the afternoon. Four times he carried the ball in an attempt to score, but Maryland captured the oval on downs'and Meade punted out. Sub Flankmen Click. ' A NOTHER pass led to Maryland’s other touchdown, again putting the ball only 2 yards from Florida's goal. This one was heaved late in the gecond period by Weidinger to Johnny McCarthy, sub end. As Florida's secondary swooped down on him, McCarthy lateraled to Nick Budkoff, another reserve flankman. Budkoft carried to the 2-yard stripe and Weidinger took it across. Pershing Mondorff, who was sent in to kick the extra point, did exactly that from placément. Maryland made only one other scoring bid and that was spoiled by a fumble. The rest of the game chiefly was taken over by Mayberry, who without great help from his mates, ran 30 yards to the Terps’ 44 in the third quarter. He drove to another first down, this Mayberry guy, and then passed to Left-end Clff Whiddon for & l4-yard gain. This put the ball on the 20. A 5-yard penalty for offside was charged against Maryland and on fourth down, after having failed to gain an inch, Maybeiry passed over the goal to Moon Mullins, a fullback, for the touchdown. Clark Goff, a guard, added the extra point. Early in the last period Meade and Maryland drove to the enemy 25, from where Meade made 15 yards on & spinner play. But Weidinger's fumble was recovered by Florida and the last 12 minutes or so was spent in thwarting Mayberry's efforts to break away. Too fast for his inter- ference, Walter kept fading back and faking passes. When the other 21 players spread out he kept the ball and carried it places—but never to Maryland's goal. ©Oh, yes, it was Curley Byrd’s silver anniversary at Maryland, too, and the Terps did it up brown between the halves with a parade of floats.

RINCETON, N. J, Oct. 30.—Tt was a long haul, but Dicky Ha: low’s Harvards finally made it. ‘ Before a crowd of 48.000 to- day in Palmer Stadium the Crimson developed sufficient power to steam- roller Princeton, 34-6. in the first “Big Three” game of the season. Thus the Maryland ornithologist was amply re- warded after two and a half seasons of fruitless waiting for Harvard's first major triumph of his Cambridge coaching career. It was a reward well worth’ waiting for to Harlow, his Harvards and their rooters, who hadn't seen the Crimson win over Princeton since 1923. But today's game was more than that. It showed Harvard not only generating power every time it had the ball, but also coming up with her first outstanding star in Vernon Struck. 3 Struck Wonder of Game. ‘HE Cantab fullback; finally blos- 2 hellion oh wheels.

In desperation Harold Van Every, Minnesota’s brilliant forward pass artist, hurled the ball through the air eight times in an attempt to score and turn defeat into victory. Just as he did a week ago, Chuck Sweeney, the smiling ,Irish lad of Bloomington, IIL, saved the game for Notre Dame. After Minnesota had scored a touchdown in the second |L. period, Sweeney blocked George Faust’s try.for extra point, allowing the fighting “Irish” to retain their one-point lead. There was a swirl of bodies crashing into the ball after Faust's toe hit it, but it was Sweeney | who did the work. Specialty by Sweeney.

The first time the “Irish” got the ball on a punt action began. Andy Puplis, Notre Dame’s little quarter- back, ran the ball back 35 yards along the side lines, going to Minnesota’s 34 before Larry Buhler, Minnesota fullback, smacked him out of bounds.

ETROIT, Oct. 30.—Villanova blasted the University of De- troit from the ranks of the . Nation’s undefeated and un- tied football teams by sweeping to a 7-to-0 triumph over the Titans in a fierce give-and-take battle today. The victory, scored before a crowd of 25,000, left Villanova unbeaten, but its record is tarnished by s score- less tie with Auburn. The hard-charging Villanova line checked “Anvil Andy” Farkas, De- troit halfback, who topped the Na- tion's college scorers last week, forc- ing Detroit to take to the air for most of its gains. A blocked punt recovered on the Detroit 19 in the first period placed Villanova in scoring position. With Andy Stopper the spearhead, Vil- lanova carried to the 8. On fourth down Ray Stoviak passed to Art Raimo for 7 precious yards and a touchdown. John Wysocki place- kicked the extra point. Detroit never got to midfield in the first two periods and spent mbst of the time keeping the hard-charging Villanova team from scoring again. R.-M. FROSH WIN GAME.

Russell Allen at guard, were opening up holes through which the whole Harvard Band could have pa- raded in formation. o Princeton never was in the ball game as Harvard scored twice in the first period, once in the second, was held scoreless in the third and then added two more in the last quarter. After the Tigers' second-period touch- down, scored on a 17-yard pess from Jack White to Johnny Vruwink at the end of a 62-yard march, they got beyond midfield only twice.

The second followed & few moments later, as both of Har- vard's ends broke in to block a punt by Bob Hinchman. Bob Green actu- ally got in front of the ball, then retrieved it and, with blocking from fellow-wingman Don Daughters, car- | ried it to the Tiger 2. Struck bucked it over. MaeDonald’s punt downed on the | Princeton 3, set up Struck’s next score, as Givens had to kick back hurriedly from behind his goal line. In the last period Struck sprinted 21 yards from scrimmage after a Tiger punt had covered exactly 12 yards, and Mac- Donald finished things off with a 47- yard scoring dash after intercepting one of White's aerials. Chief Boston, Harvard's fine blocker, place-kicked four of the five extra points. Capt. Allen, carried off the field in the third period, was the only serious casualty of the day.
