State, Davidson And Elon All Gain Glory On Fields Of Defeat State Changes Swamping Into Respectable Defeat Wolfpack Battered Off Its Feet In First Half Makes Splendid Comeback GREAT ENCOUNTER OF INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANTS Hartsell's Charges Cut Down Demolishment To 26 To 12 Tally In Second: Half By R. E.

WILLIAMS An offense is the best defense. This bit of military lore has long been an adage on the gridiron and use of second half of its North Carolina, State made practical game with the University of Maryland yesterday, turning rout into respectable defeat and taking the small final score of 26 to 12. enwhen the whistle blew at the end of the first balf, State bad made but one first down, score was 20 to 0, and Maryland was headed straight down the field with its fourth touchdown only 20 yards away. When the game ended State had scored two touchdowns four, accumulated 13 first downs to 15, and had shown the 3,000 shivering spectators a forward pass attack that was no less than dazzling and which completely bewildered the Marylanders. Thanks brilliant 40-yard run by Groves, star back, the visitors salvaged a touchdown out of the wreckage.

Aside from that one touch brilliance, Maryland was almost as completely outelassed in the second half as State had been before the intermission. Twelve of Maryland's fifteen first downs came in the first two periods. Two of the other three were registered in a brief march in the fourth quarter, which began with an intercepted forward pass on State's 42-yard line and ended when the ball went over on downs on the 10-yard line. Brilliant Individuals. Individual brilliance was the big factor in the course of the garne: For two quarters the Marylanders looked every inch the team that played the mighty Yale to a 16 to 14 score, defeated Pennsylvania and licked Carolina 14 to 0.

But in the last analysis, all of Maryland's mighty power centered around the triple threat of Captain MeQuade. The big fullback strips at 184 pounds and uses every ounce of it to advantage. bull like rushes through the line, the driving power of his toe and the deadly accuracy with which he hurled forward passes combined to give the visitors a well balanced, deceptive and irresistible attack. But there is another side to the story. McQuade retired at the end of the first half, staying out until just before the end of the game.

But before the big black hulk of the Maryland captain retired from view another figure had risen high on the horizon and this one was attired in a red jersey. Al Johnston. Coming into the game just before the end of the second period Al Johnson, hope of the State stalwarts, signalized the entrance into the fray by running back for 30 varda the kick-off which followed Maryland's third touchdown. A moment later the same player grabbed a forward pass for a 16-yard gain and State's first down of the game. Just a few plays later showed it was not a streak be running back a punt for 25 yards.

Spotting Captain McQuad4 something 1'ke 40 pounds of beef and depending entirely, upon his ability haul down from the air nad to wriggle through the position with the pigskin, tucked safely under his arm, Johnston nevertheless lacked little if anything of being as much of a factor in the result as was the mighty McQuade. Only in the one brilliant run of the far famed Groves did the Marylanders show the broken field displayed by Johnston. matched in brilliance there was still a lot of difference between the two football teams. Led by MeQuade the Marylanders displayed a power in the first half that seemed enough to insure 0 50 to 0 licking for State. Instead of being hammered to a pulp State machine, rebounded into the ascendancy.

that was all, State did not have the crushing power or the sustnined attack. There was force enough to hammer out a needed yard or two after forward pass had netted eight or nine. That was all. State depended almost entirely upon a passing game and owed its success to the brilliancy, with which the one form of attack was executed. In the third form of nttack State flunked out miserably, two punts by Elams, each of which went out of bounds after, 15 yards, leading directly to Maryland's first touchdown.

Maryland Attack Stronger Not only was the State attnek not as well rounded, but it Ineked the smoothness of the Maryland drive. Compared with the precision and deception of the Maryland attack. State's offense WEIR a hit or miss affair, but the percentage of hits was amazingly high. MeQuade got some help from Besley and Pugh and Groves made one big run, while the Maryland line functioned as well ordered machine, leaving individual brilliancy to the baeks. On the other big "Red" Las.

siter threw all the passes vith his own good left arm. while the same Lassiter and W. Shuford. playing his second 'varsity lid the line smashing. on the few occasions the Maryland line was penetrated.

Shuford, Elis and Wallis were each on the receiving end of several forward, passes, but the burden of the song was Lassiter to Johnston. How It Happened Getting, back to hard and fast facts and condensing whnt happened ns much as possible it might be remarked that Maryland kicked off. State was forced to pant and Maryland bad to return the kick but Summerell muffed the ball, giving Maryland its first chance to score CLOSE ELON GAME WON BY BAPTISTS Fighting Christians Put Up Great Game But Deacons Win By 9 To 6 Score Elon College, Nov. Elon Fighting Christians playing the final game of their season on put up a ellar exhibition of football here today against the, Baptists, but the field goal by Rackley from the 10 yard line in the fourth period gave the Wake Forest team a victory by a 9 to 6 score.

CHARLOTTE HIGHS MOVE TOWARD CHAMPIONSHIP Charlotte, Nov. strength in all departments, of the game which the weaker Spencer high eleven could not stop, the Charlotte Highs moved nearer State championship honors by the score of 0 on Richardson field th's afternoon before a large crowd. The Queen City backs, supported by a charging line, gained first downs, almost will through then Spencer lines. The losers were unable to get away with any large gain.

Charlotte scored four touchdowns and a safety, Davidson Wins Moral Victory But Carolina Gets The Score Wild Cats Use All Sorts of Football But Lack Brawn To Put It Over PRESBYTERIAN THREATS BROKEN TWICE BY FATE Statistics Look Best For Davidson But Tar Heels Win Battle By 14-3 Score By BEN DIXON McNEIL (Staff Correspondent) Chapel Hill, Nov. more sorts of football than the Tar Heels apparently knew was in the book, but not having quite brawn enough to make it effective when it was needed offensively or defensively, Davidson went down into the valley before Carolina this afternoon with a 14 to 3 score chalked up against them, but with what almost anybody would concede a moral vietory with which to salve the wounds of battle. Twice it on the point of seoring touchdowns when an unkindly fate intervened, once in the guise of an intercepted forward pass on the 10-yard line and again when the referee blew the final whistle with Davidson tunneling its way through the line within eight feet of a score, after a brilliant series of passes had brought the ball down from midfield. But it was predestined otherwise. Statistically Davidson should have had a tied score, at the outside.

It made first downs against a like number Carolina for Carolina: it outpuuted by 11 yards to the try. It completed seven out of twelve tries at forward passing against Carolina's failure in one lone attempt. And it kept the ball in Carolina's territory for a little more than half the time. But Carolina, with Bonner doing prodigies, scored two touchdowns. Thrilling Game Altogether, the game provided more thrills for the spectators and more uneasiness among the partizans of the Blue and White, than any game that has been unfolded this first year, and there when were Carolina times in stock the quarter went down to about the value of a mark.

The team was sluggigsh and hadn't made a single first down while the Presbyterians plugged away doggedly. Davidson took the kick-off and marched the ball down to the 5-yard line, where the Carolina line dug and erected the "They shall not pass" standard. Two tries failed to gain any more ground, either around or through. Davidson consulted its chances and decided to go over. Hunt went in for Buck and the ball sailed squarely between the posts for the first score of the game.

The quarter ended with Davidson occupying enemy territory. "They have worn themselves out against our defenses," the Carolinians assured themselves. And indeed it seemed to be so. The ball went downs, and then passed into the forward for two hard first hands of the Tar Heels with and Bonner, conducting the ball, it was advanced in terrific lineplunging down the field, with never more than a foot over the needed ten yards to Davidson's 30-yard line. Carolina Scoring There Bonner unloosed his lightand the ball went on down to the 5-yard line.

Morris carried it over in plunges and kicked goal. The half ended with the ball midfeld, with the score standing 7 to 3. but with a lot of misgivings still prevalent in the Carolina stands. The third quarter looked somewhat betten. Carolina brought out a series of lateral passes behind the line that were exceedingly confusing to the Presbyterians, and before they were well aware of what was happening the ball was within their 10- yard line.

The quarter ended. Three plays with Bonner carrying the ball put it over in the first minutes of the fourth. Bonner dived head first over the entire Davidson team for his goal, and a little later Morris counted for the extra point. That was all there was to the scoring. Carolina was not within striking distance of the last white line again.

Both teams drew off for a duel of punts, with Davidson gaining heavily in the exchange and gradually ing the ball down into enemy territory. Then Covington went into Davidson line, taking the place of its hard-driven quarterback, with the ball on Carolina's 45-yard line. A long pass to Covington netted varda and brought a hush to the Carolina stands. Another netted only eight yards, but ended it was the too rally late. and The the time Presbyterians went away and left the Carolina goal line uncrossed.

But it a great and thrilling rally, and thing that the Davidson children can write home their admiring daddies about. They had done what nobody expected them to do-they had scored, and they had threatened more times than Carolina had made good its own threats. Davidson Work Davidson's passing was phenome nal, both in length through and the accuracy. Only one try intercepted, but then at a most critical time. The Carolina line had buckled down, and Davidson chose the chance to brenk the deadlock with a pass rather than an easy field goal.

It lost at that venture. Four attempted passes knocked down. Bonner man on played the more field. Twice football any Carolina was in the midst of a jor offensive, he cut the Davidson to pieces, smashed through all sorta of interference for long sins, and again he smashed through Davidson's left wing for 85 yards, beating down all opposition until he was driven out of bounds. With exception of its two was sluggish, these times it had drives through, Davidson, Carolina WOFFORD ELEVEN DEFEATS QUAKERS with the ball on State's 42 yard line.

The ball was advanced to the 10 yard line when the visitors met with the double misfortune of a 10 yard penalty and an intercepted pass, caught by Lassiter.

Working fake play after take play from punt formation the second Marylanders registered their touchdown before the quarter was two minutes old, MeQuade again carrying the ball.

Late in the quarter Maryland took the ball on its own 45 yard line and savage charges by MeQuade, aided by a 35 yard end run by Osborne, carried the ball 35 yards to the 20 yard line, where the whistle put an end to play. Wolfpack Reincarnated The change back to "Wolfpack" of showed itself early Maryland kicked off and State weat to the one yard line without once losing the Here is how it back happened. Johnston ran the kick to the 30 yard line. A pass, Lassiter to Shufford added 25. Four smashes at the line gave State its onlv first down on rushes.

Two forward passes netted nine yards and two charges gave, the 20 yard other line. one, A putting pass to the Elms ball netted nine yards and a line play gave a first down ten yards from the goal. On the fourth down pass waS completed but Shufford was downed one yard from the goal and the ball went over. Maryland kicked on the first play, giving State possession on the 25- yard line. Two beautiful passes carried the play to the four -yard mark and Lassiter supplied punch needed for a touchdown.

State received the kick on its 15- yard marker and started another forward passing attnek. But on the 45- yard line a cog slipped and Branner intercepted a forward pass. Groves then made his only appearance in the limelight, twisting through the State line into the open and running 40 yards before he was stopped. Groves' speetacular play ended the quarter and on the first play at the other end of the field Heine bored the State line for touchdown, Groves missing goal. State kicked off and Maryland was forced to punt, giving Hartsell's men the ball on their own 36-yard line.

Here followed another great exhibition of forward passes, every known variety being included. The march started 64 yards from the. Maryland goal, and Lassiter. through five passes in succession. with only one line play mixed.

Every pass was completed except the last one, which was allowed for interference. The ruling of Referee placed the ball on the ten-yard Lassiter, tore and through, tossed the a line short for pass to Johnston, who stepped over the line for the last touchdown of the game. Lassiter missed both tries for goal, although both efforts were close enough to look successful from the side lines.

Poindexter's wing of the line was more certain of opening up a right of way through the dogged Red defences than the right end of the team.

Davidson was versatile where Carolina was stolid. It never hesitated to risk a forward pass when the Carolina line stiffened, and in the maiority of times it was right. Its off tackle plunging were usually effective, for spectacular gains, but enough to keep the ball moving.

GRIDIRON INDIANS ON THE WARPATH Haskell Indians Come Out of Kansas To Tie Quantico Marines 14 To 14 New York, Nov. since the Carlisle Indians went on the war path has a football team come out of the west with as powerful a triplethreat man as had the Haskell Institute of Kansas in its spectacular game today with the Quantico Marines at the Yankee Stadium, which ended in a 14 to 14 tie.

John a Louis Angel Firpo in moleskins, was the Trinity. Both the Indians' touchdowns were due to the plunging, passing and kieking of the Haskell fullback and the Marine score was kept to a tie by his running and interfering. Once he caught a Quantico runner from behind who had an open field ahead. Again he hurled 55-yard pass to his brother, Gearge Levi, left halfback. In open field running he recalled Bo late of Center, and his tackling was always sure and definite.

Levi's exploits and those of Goettge, the big fullback of the Marines, famous for his inter-collegiate playing in the middlewest, em brace the story of the game.
