GIBBS Sun Staff Correspondent College Park, Nov. 29 Maryland's Old Liners and the North Carolina State football teams wound up their 1947 cam paign by battling each ether to a scoreless deadlock here ths after noon. The game was a hard but cleanly fought battle from, the start, with little to choose on either side. Both teams appeared on the threshold of scoring during the fray, but the de fense each time proved adequate. Both teams stuck to the turf for the greater part of the game but in the late stages they took to the air.

In the opening period Maryland marched from its own 24-yard line to the Wolf pack's 30 in a sustained drive, with Vic Turyn and Jim LaRue doing the heavy work, but here the parade ended. Call Play Back North Carolina State suffered the toughest break of the afternoon. It came in the second period. They had taken a Maryland kick and were on their own 22. In this spot Gwynn Fletcher heaved a pass to Fred Miller, who spun around through several tacklcrs and set sail down the sideline and over the goaL The play, however, was nullified when Ills own team win set hack IS yards for holding and Instead of cashing In on a touchdown, the Wolf pack finally had to kick its way out of trouble.

In the fourth period the visitors again began to make threatening motions. In fact they got as fax as Maryland's one yard line. They missed the score when they tried a pass on fourth down and goal to go, and it wound up short by a yard. Maryland Kicks Out Maryland had been penalized for interference in this spot and was back on its 12. After two plays.

Charley Richkus tossed to George Blomquist on the one-yard line. In the third period Maryland started rolling' for a while, only to have another threat blotted out. In this spot the Terps tookthe ball on their own 42. Joe Tucker tossed it to Francis Evans for four yards. A lateral then to Lu Gambino.

who performed steadily during the afternoon, moved the ball to the 18-yard line. He moved it another yard, but Maryland was offside and the ball went back five yards. Tucker's pass to Gambino moved to the 6-yard line. But the Wolf pack held it there and Maryland's threat was eased. The closeness ol the contest is shown by the statistics.

Maryland gaining 12 first downs to 11 by the Wolf pack. Cain 216 Yards Against one of the best defensive teams in the country, the Terps gained 216 yards by rushing whi.e they held the visitors to 154. The air lanes were not bothered too much, the Terps completing three aerials out of 15, the Wolfpack three out of ten. This is the eighth time these teams have fought it out since back: in 1909 and the score still stands three wins to two in favor of the Wolfpack. Today's battle was the third tie, and the second scoreless affair they have played.

In battling a hot Wolfpack team to a standoff, Jim Tatum's Old Liners brought to a close a season that has been surprisingly successful, one that has brought the Maryland outfit forth into the football sun again. They won seven, lost two and tied one, scoring 187 points while holding the opposition to 101. Today was the second time Maryland had failed to score in the tea games, their other being at the hands of North Carolina, at Washington. Duke and North Carolina were the two teams to defeat the College Park outfit. The contest was televised by the television station, MAR-TV.

KELLY Sun Staff Correspondent Bowie, Nov. 29 Incline, coupled in the betting with Ridge-wood Stable's Double Jay, preserved scores of wagers riding on the 3-year-old star by winning the Bryan and O'Hara Memorial here today. The victor, a 4-year-old colt owned by Joseph Tucci, contractor from Washington, D.C., a lightweight in the field of seven starters with 107 pounds, would have been held at 15-to 20 to-1 odds if not part of the entry trained by Charles Feltner. Incline, who was scoring the first stakes triumph of his career, cut loose with a late stretch drive to defeat the favored Gallorette, who toted 124 pounds, by three quarters of a length. Double Jay was just a nose behind in third, with Butler another half length to the rear for fourth.

Kirkland Claims Foul After many in the crowd of who were closing the 150-day Maryland racing season breathed easier when Incline saved the day for Double Jay, Jockey Arnold Kirkland, rider of Gallorette, claimed a foul. The jockey felt that Double Jay had interfered with Gallorette -at the top of the stretch. Under rac ing rules, if either part of an entry Is guilty of an infraction, the pair would be disqualified. The stewards, however, did not agree with Kirkland and the original numbers remained. The entry of Incline and Double Jay returned $5 for $2, being a second choice to Gallorette, who went off at 6-to-5 odds.

Three-Horse Duel After a slow early pace in the mile and three sixteenth test. double Jay was shot into a three-length lead on the backstretch as If to steal the race. Butler, who was closer than usual, immediately set sail after the pacesetter. Double Jay and Butler raced bead and head around the turn, as Gallorette and Incline lagged be hind Turning into the stretch Gal lorette launched her challenge. Through the stretch it was a three horse duel with Gallorette.

Butler and Double Jay, At the eighth pole, Incline began stepping faster than three. However, it was not until the final 20 yards that Jockey Claude Erickson, aboard Incline on the outside, had caught the trio and was carried across the line by three quarters of a length In a driving finish with little more than a length separating the first four. Near Track Record Tucci, owner of the winner, who purchased the 4-year-old colt from King Ranch, breeder of the 4-year-old, picked a winner's share of $14,000. The time was good, being 1.59 3-5, a second and four-fifths off the track mark. The mutuel machinery totaled $1,401.0115 for the day to Insure the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association a successful 14-day meet.

The million mark was reached during the final three days of the session, which opened on a Four note as far as the betting was concerned. Richard A. Johnson's Pctee Dec, bred and trained by the owner, snared the fifth race, which served as the secondary attraction. The triumph for the 5-year-gld horse was a slight upset at odds. Held Off Early Pace The winner was held off the early pace and came on in the straightaway run to defeat Operator by a length and a half.

The latter nosed out Peace Harbor, who was the 2-to-l choice. It was the first time In five starts this season Petee Dee was raced farther than six furlongs. George Cardoza returned to the winner's circle for the second time of the day, having scored in the opener. Petee Dee was timed in 1,53 3-5 for the mile and a furlong, a second slower than the track record. Second Race To Hadawin An extremelly cheap field of twelve platers contested the mile-andthree-Kixternthx opener, with Swing Shift, xecond choice at 3 to 1 odds, beating the favored Some Where by a half length.

Happy Moose. fiO to 1, thrilled the long-shot players by going to the front in the retch only to falter and ave third. Hadawin gave the favorite followers a lift in the second, coming off the pace smartly to win bv a length and a half over Split the ivind This $4 choice wound up the 3 and 7 daily double, which rJd $17.40 il nn tinidciiliCiol take advantage of every break, led by Rowan, who was a better fullback this afternoon than Doc Blanchard was a year ago. Both line and backs played superbly, especially in moments of impending danger. And to make the work a trifle softer Navy would fumble or Navy would get penalized and this is the way the ball game went.

When Navy started her first march before the vast crowd, it began to look as if Tom Hamilton's ntrhtintr voune team was on the verge of driving Army oil the field. Hawkins, Home and others were heading swiftly for the Army goal when a fumble, a penalty and a pass sent Army across, a stunning shock to Navy's hopes. Navy Gets 13 First Downs Again in the second period Navy's running and passing attack with Baysinger passing carried to Army's 8-yard line. One play later Rowan was on his way down the field, his speed carrying the fullback 92-yards with the Cadet stands in a wild uproar as some 3.000 Midshipmen sat in silence, for here was the ball game beyond all doubt. Navy piled up 13 first downs to Army's nine.

Navy passed for 94 yards against Army's 46. But Navy's running attack was held to 99 yards by a rugged Army defense in which not only the Army line but Rowan, GalilTa and Army's ends, especially Kellum, played leading roles. On Rowan's long run it was Stuart's great block as Rip broke through that cleared out an important tackier directly in the road. Navy Captain Injured Almost every mistake that Navy made this afternoon came at a critical time, whether it was a fumble or a penalty. It was a disheartening break for the cheering Midshipmen who had seen so many games lost to have their vocal salutes for two near-touchdowns suddenly throttled by another Navy mistake.

On this occasion Navy was keyed up to high tension, much too high for its own good. Late in the third period Captain Scott, Navy's able center whose kicking was a big feature, was in jured and carried from the field. Army, even when being driven back early in the game, had all the poise. Navy made the mistake of directing too many plays at Army's fast, powerful line which was always ready when danger came along. Captain StofTy played mag nificently all the way through.

He was also given valuable assistance by Bryant and other mates. "We were mentally up for this game." Red Blaik said, "especially Shelley, Yeomans and Stuart, who were among our leading stars. We also got the breaks any team needs." Hamilton Lauds Army "Army made its own breaks," Captain Hamilton said after the contest ended. And don't forget (Continued on Page 2, Column 2) SJ.U.

GEORGIA TECH TOPS GEORGIA Triumphs, 7-0, On Pattern's Pass To Brodnax Nov. 29 (P) Georgia Tech connected on a 13-yard touchdown heave for a 7 to 0 victory over Georgia today. Red Patton passing to George Brodnax in the end zone during the third quarter for the game's only score The bruising football battle was marred by numerous fumbles, costly penalties and injuries, and a first half in which neither team threatened seriously. I John liaut Georgia ace passer, just failed to become tin fourth collegiate passer in history to complete 100 passes in a season He connected on 10 of 21 heaves for a total of 98 today. It was Rauch's passes, mostly to Dan Edwards; that kept the underdog visitors in the game.

Interception Ses Stage Edwards caught five for 39 yards to give him 540 yards for the year, tops for collegiate receivers this year. Tech completed only four of ten passes, but one of them in the third period provided the margin of victory as Brodnax gathered in Pat-ton's 13-yard toss in the end zone. Tech had reached that point when Jim Castleberry intercepted a Rauch pass and ran it back 17 yards. Tech led in first downs, ten to eight, and in yards rushing, 129 to 61. Georgia gained 83 yards on Rauch's passes, while Tech picked up 43.

It was Georgia Tech's ninth win in 10 games, and Georgia's fourth loss in 11. Georgia's deepest penetration came in the final minutes, when the Bulldogs drove from their 35 to the Tech 25. Rauch Passes Well Georgia Tech was held against its own goal during most of the first half because of the Jackets' inabil ity to get an offensive under way. Joe Geri, Georgia's fine punter, out distanced Techs Billy Williams on each exchange, and the Bulldogs picked up an occasional first down to force the favored Jackets deeper into their own territory. Rauch, passing with deadly accuracy, completed seven of the first 11 passes for 57 yards.

3 6 .333 VIRGINIA BOWS TO W.C., 40-7 Victors Score After 3 Minutes Of Opening Quarter Chapel Hill. N.C., Nov. 28 With Charlie Justice, the Asheville sophomore, tallying two touch downs. North Carolina closed its 1947 football season with a 40-to-7 triumph over Virginia here today in Kenan Stadium. The hard-fighting Cavaliers did not show any signs of an attack to meet the men of Coach Carl Snavely.

The Tarheels opened with score during the first three minutes after Virginia fumbled the opening kick off. Pupa Bucks Over A scant half dozen plays later Fullback Walt Pupa bulled his way over from the two-foot line. Bob Cox placckicked the extra point Pupa was injured in the second quarter, but Fullback llosea Rodgers capably teamed with Jim Camp to spark another scoring march, this one for 62 yards. Johnny Clements scored from the 10. Cox's point-after-touchdown effort was no good.

The next touchdown climaxed a 55-yard thrust, and came with only 35 seconds left in the half. Justice ran 20 yards to the Virginia 35-yard line. Two plays later, Rodgers rifled a nine-yard pass to Justice, who took the ball over his shoulder and scooted for a touchdown. Cox's placement was true. Justice Scores The Tarheels returned from intermission by moving 40 yards for their fourth touchdown, Justice scoring from the 5.

Justice set up another score moments later by reeling off a brilliant 32-yard run. Jim Camp went over on a reverse from the 13. Cox placckicked the point. The final North Carolina tally came after Billy MacEyko was dumped for a six-yard loss on the Virginia 41. He then offered a per fect pass to Ken Powell, who made a fighting Catch and eluded George Neff in running 18 yards for a touchdown.

Navy fumbles, penalties and. Army interceptions sent wavy to us eighth deteat, in one of the most dismal seasons in its football history.

As the game ended, 2.000 gray-clad Cadets rushed on the field to cany the triumphant Army squad to its dressing room. Army's Alertness Cited It was Army's speed and alertness that smothered Navy's hard driving along the ground. But more than all it was Navy fumbling and killing Navy penalties that rolled into another defeat. On two different occasions, Navy reached Army's eight-yard line, where a fumble and a penalty broke up her two threatening chances. Starting off with a smash and a crash, Navy picked up four first downs and was moving rapidly det-p into Army territory.

But as Hawkins and other hardhitting backs were cutting through Army's defense. Navy fumbled and was then penalized 15 yards for rough ing. So here was Army threatening without having" made a first down. After picking up 16 yards in three plays, Rowan fell back and whipped a pass to Kellum for the opening touchdown that came the easy way. Rowan Races 92 Yards Early in the second period Navy opened another offensive, where again an offside penalty halted her march on Army's eight-yard line.

On the first play, Rip Rowan, Army's great fullback who played brilliantly all afternoon, broke outside of tackle, put on a burst of speed and with able blocking, raced 92 yards for the second score. This was the knife blade that found the center of Navy's heart. On the verge of scoring and so tieing up the game and then 12 seconds later Army had the battle sewed up beyond all doubt. At this fatal spot Navy had piled up 10 first down to Army's 2 and yet Army was 14 points in front. Army Intercepts Pass Navy has had a lot of luck this season but 98 per cent of it has been bad.

Her tendency to fumble all season followed her through the final game and again led to another bitter defeat, the roughest blow of them all. Later on in the third period a Navy pass from Gerber was intercepted on Navy's 18-yard line and from this point Trent, the interceptor, had no trouble crossing the Navy line for the third time. It was a hard bruising battle with several penalties inflicted for roughness on both sides. But Navy's came at times where the blow struck with harder force. Army's Play Praised This was a keen, smart Army Itcam that took the field this after noon, a heads-up squad ready to.
