the gold bug VOLUME 48 NUMBER 6 Stickers peaking The Western Maryland lacrosse team proved too strong for its last three opponents as the Terrors swept games from Gettysburg, Penn Military, and Mt. St. Mary's Colleges. Although the final score was fairly close, the Terrors had no real trouble in downing Gettysburg 6-4 under the lights at West- minster High School. This contest was marked by more hitting, slashing, and blocking than scoring as Dan Wilson won the "Big Ben Davidson Dirty Player Award" for his fantastic display of stick- work while out of bounds. R. Dope Smith also received praise for winning the "Jim Pattitucci Trashmouth Award" for his amiable conversation with the officials. For an encore the Terrors proceeded to wreck havock upon hapless Penn Military College.

There the "Prima-Donna" Amos McCoy takes a step up as he aims for the cage through opponents. Terrors after a powerful first quarter, slumped into their usual second quarter doldrum. After a brief scare from the Mounties the Terror attack proved to be too much for the outclassed Mountie Defense. Leading the way was a 9 goal production by Bob New records set "Bimbo" Wolfing. With seven assists was Ron Athey who simply managed to bounce his feeds off of Big Bob's protruding rectus abdominus.
