fact that Maryland was only able to hold Catholic University to a tie score, while the Terrors won by 13 to 7, shows the strength of our team. The following week Western Maryland journeyed to Pittsburgh, and held her own against the Carnegie Plaids, holdmg them to a small score. In this game the two tackles of Western Maryland so acquitted themselves that they were chosen by Tech as the best tackles that they had played against. Washington College was played in a driving snow and hail storm, on a muddy field and the score was 12 to 12. The only account that can be written of the game is Mud! Mud! Mud! Hail! Hail! Hail! Snow! Snow! Snow! Loyola was next vanquished by the score of 39 to o. The Methodists simply ran wild, running over everything in sight and using all her substitutes. The Catholics played hard, but were no match for the Terrors. The curtain dropped on the closing game of the season with Mount St. Mary's, and the fact that the score was 3 to 0 in favor of Western Maryland and that these points were scored in the last quarter indicates the fierceness of the en' counter. Time after time we have seen the Green Terrors triumphantly towering over the colors of her rivals; and in spite of playing the hardest schedule of any Mary' land college, she proceeded in piling up 99 points against her opponents' 74. A wonderful team. A wonderful season. The best in the history of the college. [158]
