The Hill-toppers last whipped a Westminster team in 1932 by a 12 to 6 December 7, and the day everyone waited for. The opponent. Maryland. The two teams were to meet in the Stadium to decide the football title of the state. The T erps had generously agreed to turn over their entire gate receipts to Western Maryland for the new field house. Maryland had a powerhouse team this season. A team of large, rangy veterans. They had won six games. tied two, and lost two prior to the meeting with the Green and Gold. Only the juggernaut of North Carolina and the Hoosiers from Indiana had taken "Jack" Faber's men.

But in the second half the Terps got busy. "Bill" Guckeyson. "Charley" Ellinger, Coleman Headley, and John Gormley led the running and passing attack on the Terrors. They ran up three touchdowns, one field goal. and one extra point. When the final whistle blew, the score was Maryland 22, Western Maryland 7, and the state title went to the College Parkers.

Louis Lassahn was rewarded for his consistent play over the entire season and was given one wing berth, while "Lou" Ennis of Maryland nosed out the sensational Benjamin for the other. Captain "Nick" Carnpofreda was named for a tackle position. The center berth went to "Bill" Rieth, who played a fine game for Havens all year.
