whale of a game against a stronger opponent and even in defeat the fine play of "Monk" Campbell and Cliff Lathrop stood out. The aroused Green and Gold team staged a comeback and defeated their next opponents, the St Mary's Rattlers from Texas, to the tune of 32 ~ 12 at the Baltimore stadium. The visitors with a big line and a nne little back in 150 pound Doug Locke, started out fast and scored before two minutes of play had elapsed. Soon, however, the Terrors took command and opened with a real touchdown parade. In rapid succession Lathrop, Benjamin, Lassehn. and Drugash scored, Lathrop counting twice. "Jvlonk" Campbell, though not breaking into the scoring column, threw two touchdown passes and gave a splendid exhibition of "coffin-comer" kicking. To celebrate Hallowe'en. the Green Team journeyed to Morgantown, West Virginia, to meet the mountaineers. The game was a true hobgoblin affair as the lead see-sawed back and forth at least four times. Injuries came thick and fast as the contest grew wild and heated. Finally, after Lathrop, Lassahn, Mujwir, Sadowski, and Drugash were forced to the sidelines, the Mountaineers were able to score the deciding markers, winning the game 33 ~ 20. Badly crippled by injuries, a make-shift Western Maryland team was tied by an ordinary Albright College team 6 _ 6. Both of the co-captains were left at home, as was Mujwit, to recover from injuries suffered at West Virginia. Inspired by the playing of Dick Riffle, Albright half-back who had received All-American mention, the Lions held Western Maryland in check until late in the first period. Then Sadowski broke loose on a spinner and dashed 80 yards to score. The Terrors failed to hold the advantage, and midway in the final quarter Chomorda skirted left end for 35 yards and the tying score, ending the game 6 - 6. The Terrors next embarked for Boston to engage Boston College, one of the toughest teams in the East. The Hub City boys found themselves hard pressed to eke out a win as the Green Terrors bore up creditably. Boston College forces scored first in the second period, driving 73 yards. Jivalikin rounded left end from the one-yard line to climax the march. In the final period, Sadowski tossed a pass to "Sran' Benjamin. "Benny" was bumped by Ferdenzi. and the ball rolled into the end zone. Referee Gilroy ruled interference and Western Maryland got the ball on the two-yard stripe. Lathrop bucked across the goal line and then place-kicked the extra point. The Eagle backs marched the ball right back into Terror territory, down to the five-yard line. Here AI Tortolini faded back and tossed a touchdown pass to Ferdenzi. The final whistle found the score Boston College 12, Western Maryland 7. The Terrors next exchanged blows with Catholic U., a powerful team having a wealth of good reserves. The Terrors took the field, definitely the under-dogs, and proceeded to astound the most optimistic observers. The first half ended in a scoreless tie. The Green team opened the second half with a bang, and, Lathrop doing most of the ball-carrying, a touchdown drive was initiated. Pounding relentlessly, the Green wave swept down the field and over the goal line, Lathrop clutching the ball on the final plunge. The final quarter saw the Cardinals launch a desperate passing attack, but the Terrors left the field with a 6 - 0 victory. Mount St. Mary's came next on the card. The Thanksgiving Day contest, a home game, proved to be a good warm-up for the Maryland game. Big feature of the game was a touchdown run of "Monk" Campbell. Lathrop, Mujwit, and Sadowski all contributed points. The final count was 35 - O. December 5 finally arrived and Terror co-captains ended their careers with a 12 - 0 win over the University of Maryland in the Baltimore Stadium. The Terror team rose to the heights of football greatness as the Terrapin advance was rebuffed and Guckeyson was completely throttled. Remembering the previous season's defeat, the Green team got down to work early, Lathrop taking one of Gcckeyscn's long kicks on the W. M. 30 yard line for the start of a rolling attack. A seventy yard drive resulted in a touchdown. Next "Monk" Campbell, who had been shining in the defense, snatched one of Ellinger's passes out of the air to begin a new Western Maryland defensive. After being downed by a host of T erps, 112
