A large crowd of "old grads" and fans from nearby towns filled Hoffa Bowl on Homecoming Day to see Western Maryland continue its winning stride at the expense of Mount Saint Mary's. The Mountaineers offered stubborn resistance, but could not stop Neal and Wellinger, who broke loose frequently for long runs. With high hopes of adding another victory to its record, Western Maryland, ac- companied by a large group of students and town folk, journeyed to Gettysburg the following Saturday to meet the G-burg Bullets. Although defeated badly by Western Maryland the previous year, the Battle-field eleven justified reports that its 1928 team was a strong machine. Near the end of the third quarter the score stood 7--0, Western Maryland having scored in the first five minutes of the game. The large crowd of spectators had by this time conceded the rather listless game to Western Maryland, but such was not to be the case. Gettysburg unloosed a successful aerial attack which resulted in a touchdown and tied the score 7-7 at the end of the third quarter. Words fail when an attempt is made to describe the final quarter of this game. Determination page one hundred seventy-eight
