Merritt Gains 101
The Cavaliers rushed for Maxwell Hit On Eight Of Seventeen Attempts This Year
219 yards, Merritt gaining 101
and Helman supplying most of
the remainder, and passed for
214. This was in spite of the
fact that Davis was only 12 of
38 through the airways. Albert
passed infrequently and was 2
Billy Maxwell Kicked The Winning Field Goal Saturday
intercepted.
Maryland finished twenty
yards behind the Cavs in both
departments, went 18 of 28
passing with one interception
(by Gerard Mullins in the last
seconds), and had the game's
leading rusher, Carl Shelton
who gained 118 yards.
The game resembled a
knife-fight by two desperate
men on the roof of a tall
building. Each took turns
cutting the other up but in the
end it was Maryland, probably
taking the unfortunate Mr.
Lester with them, that ended
up in a heap on the sidewalk.
