JOHN'S, 174 WESTERN MARYLAND, 7 St. John's scored its first victory of the season on Saturday, November 18, when W1 M. C. was played on Vtfoodward Field. After kicking off to VVestern Maryland, St. -Iohn's held and forced them to punt, a fumble caused St. John's to lose the ball, but they held again and XVestern Maryland punted outside. By two well executed forward passes S. J. C. placed the ball on W. M. C's Fifteen- yard line. Here we were penalized fifteen yards for holding. Heise dropped back to the thirty-two yard line and dropped one over for three points. In the second quarter S. J. C. recovered a fumbled punt and with a twenty-yard run by Clark placed the ball within striking distance of W. M. C.'s goal. Plasnig made several yards through tackle, and Clark took the ball over. Heise kicked goal. Western Maryland made their only score in the second quarter with but a few seconds to play by two long forward passes, Keller to Miles, and Keller to Meyers from the forth-yard line. Keller kicked a difficult goal. In the third quarter Western Maryland was penalized fifteen yards for holding. Keller kicked to Clark who was downed in his tracks. From kick formation Clark ran seventy-eight yards for a touchdown. Heise kicked goal. W. M. C. planted the ball on St. John's thirteen-yard line in the fourth quarter, but as S. J. C. held, Keller tried a drop kick which went astray. The game ended soon after this with the ball in our possession in midfield. Garret and Keller played fine ball for VVestern Maryland, while Turner, Collinson, Lentz, Coyner, Clark, Heise and Jarman played well for St. John's. Clark and Lentz especially played brilliantly. 200

' DUTCH FRANK showed effects and in a few minutes after play began they scored. At this point the play became very rough, and Oberlin, State's tackle was put out of the game. The game ended with the ball in St. john's possession and in her own territory. Maryland State's line did great work for them, while our backtield starred for us. ST. JOHN'S, 03 DELAWARE, 14 XVC again lost a close battle when we encountered the Delaware eleven on their gridiron. All during the tirst quarter the hall see-sawed back and forth near the middle of the lield, neither side having the advantage. This lasted until the last of the second quarter when Delaware started a series of rushes and carried the ball to St. .lohn's lifteen-yard line, where the timer's whistle ended the half. ln the third period, St. 'lohn's carried the ball in Delaware's territory, but were held and Heise attempted drop-kick but failed. At the last of this quarter Delaware scored on a low-pass to Wfcldin who dodged several men for a run of twenty yards. Delaware regained the ball when Selby intercepted a pass from Jarman. On the next play, a forward pass, XVeldin to Clancy, was successful and Clancy scored. Jarman and Darley played good ball for St. -lohn's, while NVeldin and Clancy played best for Delaware. 199

JOHN'S, 65 JOHNS HOPKINS, 3 Although defeated before they went on the field according to dope, St. john's won from Hopkins hy that never-say-die-spirit for which the old insti- tution is noted. St. john's received the kick-off and advanced the bail to Hop- kins' forty-live yard line, where Hopkins held. Clark kicked and Leadbetter's return was ten yards short. Clark, jarman and Plasnig advanced the hall to the ten-yard line where a fumble gave Hopkins the hall and they immediately punted out of danger. In the second quarter St. John's brought the ball back to the thirty-yarcl line, where Hopkins held and from this point their heavy line began a steady march down the lield to our twenty-live-yard line. Here the St. ,lohn's spirit showed itself by our line holding for three clowns against their mass of flesh, which saved a touchdown. On the next play, Hoffman dropped back to our thirty-live yard line and booted the hall over the bar for the hrst score of the game. Hopkins kicked off to Plasnig who ran the hall hack to our forty-yard line. Here Hopkins held again and Clark punted to Purcell, who fumbled and after several attempts at recovering the ball, Lentz, our tackle, finally captured it against the fence. 'l'his inspired the team more than ever and the St. john's stands went wild when a few moments later a forward pass from Clark to Bowers gave us twenty yards. Carey jarman's head at this point, aided by our do-or-die line and fast hacklield, instigated the greatest accomplishment of our seasons-a touchdown. On every play he was out-guessing Hopkins, until after a well mixed series of end runs and line plunges, the hall was placed on their one- yard line and carried across by Jarman himself on the next play. Heise failed -' t. W iii l CAREY scones 201
