Despite the fact that the Terrors won only a quartet of games out of the schedule of fourteen contests, it has been generally conceded that this year's quintet showed remarkable abili,ty. The Srahleyires opened the season by forcing the crack Loyola dnbblers to put on all their speed to take a 43-32 decision. A road trip followed, in which the Terrors split even by trouncing Bucknell University and catching the wrong end of a 43-15 score against Penn State. Washington College took a brace of contests by coming back fast in the second half of the first set-to to win. and by squeezing out a 3-point victory by means of an extra period in the second fracas. Navy's quintet. one of the three strongest in the East, was given a hard fight until the deadly shooting of the Academy marksmen began to tell, and the Westminster cIan was trailing but still fighting determinedly at the final gun. The Green and Gold quintet won three out of the next four games played, when they stopped Johns Hopkins: with a driving finish took Gallaudet in stride, and proved that their first triumph over Johns Hopkins University was no fluke when they won as they pleased in a return engagement with the Black and Blue tossers. Loyola again defeated us, sandwiching the win in between the first Hopkins game and the Gallaudet engage- ment. Western Maryland played probably its best game of the season against the strong University of Maryland club. The teams took turns at laking the lead until the .final minutes, when Snyder, an Old Line forward, sunk several baskets to clinch the decision for the Terrapins. Mt. St. Mary's, the Maryland Inter-Collegiate League champion, won the next two games from us. The second game was played on the same night as the P. M. C Aoormen were met. This necessitated a splitting of the squad, part going to Chest.er, Pa .. to meet the Cadets and the rest staying at home to play host to the Emmitsburg team. Both games were chalked up on the debit side of the ledger, but both the second team, which played P. M. C, and the Varsity, which met the league champs, gave good accounts of themselves. Much credit is due Coach Stahley for put- ting a fighting team on the floor. which was referred to as "the most improved team" In the Maryland Inter-Collegiate League OncHundredSev
