The season opened against Westchester State Teachers, and the Terrors dropped a 37-26 decision. Then came days of headaches for Ferguson. Unable to hit their true stride, the team lost eight consecutive games. Fortunately only one of them was a Maryland Collegiate League game. The boys could do little on the floor. and they had no semblance of teamwork. Georgetown swamped the Terrors 46 to 13, and then Villa- nova shellacked the Green and Gold by 32 to 16. High Point College of North Carolina stopped in Westminster long enough to annex a 42 to 32 victory, and then passed merrily on its way. Then the tide turned. The boys still lost, but they lost by close scores now. St. Joseph's of Philadelphia found a last-minute rally necessary to eke out a 38 to 37 triumph. The league season opened then for the Terrors. They travelled to Chestertown and finally succumbed toa powerful Washington College team by a 41 t035 count. The Sho'men knew at the finish that they had been in a real game. At length the great day came. After dropping a couple more non- league tilts, the welcome news came. At last the Terrors had won a ball game. They had Johns Hopkins in an extra period game by 42 to 38. This was the league victory for Ferguson's men, and it was only the beginning. From that time until the end of the season, the Green and Gold won eight games and lost but four. Two of those four losses were by the closest of margins. The league season was now under full sway. St. John's, featuring the shifty Johnny Lambros, Journeyed to Westminster, and in the Armory an infuriated Terror five defeated them in an extra period game. The score was 43 to 38. This game produced four heroes for the home team while Lambros and Ross starred for the Johnnies. Then came a trip to Loyola and the Greyhounds beat the Terrors 34 to 31. Mt. St. Mary's defending champion, also tacked a defeat on the Terrors' record by win, ning from them 33 to 21 at Emmittsburg. But winning ways came ba,ck to the Green and Gold banner.
