felt-they were leaving "Dick" at home. The fierce determination to bring back a victory to "Dick," coupled with the desire of the newer members on the team to show that they had earned their places, resulted in a dogged perseverance which brought them to the fore in the second half of the game . • Shepherd place-kicked in the second quarter for three points, a pass from Shepherd to Mergo placed the pigskin in the striped zone in the third quarter; and when a St. Thomas back tried to pass from behind his goal line, in the fourth period, he was swamped by the Terror line, giving Western Maryland two more points. The final score was 12-6 in favor of Western Maryland. Mergo and Shepherd, supported by the competent Dunn, starred in the Terror backfield, while Captain Kopp, at guard, led the line in the unspectacular work of opening the holes and stopping the fast St. Thomas men Marshall College, of Huntington, W. Va., was the second foe of the Terrors. They had high hopes of beginning another string of victories, such as the one two years ago; but this year Marshall was unusually strong. The game was a grueling struggle for the first three quarters, Marshall having secured one touch-down. In the unforgetable fourth period, Shepherd broke loose for a forty-yard dash to score. Marshall retaliated by inter- cepting a pass and gained another touchdown, making the score 13-6 against the Terrors. The Schwieker-to-Green pass brought the ball on the one-yard line, and McNally 'took it over. Mergo made the extra point tying the score 13-13, at which it remained until the final whistle. Great was the rejoicing among the team and the student body when it was found out that "Dick" Harlow would be able to see the Mt. St. Mary's game. Sitting on the sidelines, a little paler and thinner than usual, the head coach watched his team romp over the mountaineers to a 33-6 victory. Boston us. Western Maryland OncH"ndr.dSixl'l,Six
