Franklin and Marshall College was the first opponent met away from home. The Wrightmen opened with a bang, scored all of their goals in the first period, and were content to play defensively for the remainder of the game, winning 3,2. A bruised and tired Green and Gold team took the field the next dayagainst Penn State, one of the finest teams in the country, and went down fighting beneath the powerful State attack, 12,0. As was characteristic of their irregular playing, the Terrors reverted back to their better form and swamped a hapless Blue Ridge outfit, 6,0. Charlie Wallace split the uprights four times to take the game's individual scoring honors. On their second invasion into Pennsylvania, the Green Terrors tackled Dickinson and Bucknell. Against the former, the Wrightmen held a 5,2 lead going into the final quarter with Wallace, Lewis, and Tomlinson doing the scoring. Then the Red Devils rallied desperately and chalked up three tallies to eke out a tie. The Bucknell Bisons took advantage of the lack of Terror scoring punch and rang up a 4,0 victory over a team which was crippled as the result of injuries sustained in the Dickinson game. Gettysburg College invaded the local pitch and traveled homeward that evening mourning a 4,3 loss. This game was the Terror's last taste of victory for some time. Games were dropped to West Chester Teachers, 5,0; Army, 3,1; Hopkins, 4,3; and Frostburg State Teachers, 4,2. Three days after the Frostburg defeat, the Terrors met their arch, rival, the University of Maryland, on Hoffa Field. Co-captains Charlie Wallace and Buck Barkdoll played one of the best games in their soccer careers to lead a fighting Terror team to a 3,2 victory over the T erps. This victory gave the Terrors a .500 percentage in the state league, winning three and losing three. The final game of the season was lost to Wheaton College, of Illinois, by a 5,2 decision. Only three men of the '38 season will be lost through graduation. They are Wallace, Barkdoll, and Dooley. Co-captain Charlie Wallace, termed by Johnny Neun as the outstanding collegiate soccer player in the State, has been a standout on the forward wall for four years and was the main threat of the Terror scoring thrusts this year. Co-captain John Barkdoll has also been on the squad for four years and was one of the best backs ever seen on the Green and Gold pitch. Goalie Dooley filled in one of the most important spots on the team and did remarkably well for his first full year at that post. Although these men will be missed, the prospects for next year are bright. One hundred iuientu-nine
