The band entertains between halves at the Villanova game V. M. I. After hearing howls and moans that Ray Morrison wouldn ' t win a game this season because he had to field a squad composed almost solely of 17-year-old babies, it was conceded that the Kaydets of V. M. I. would have a cinch when they met Temple in the season ' s opener at the Stadium. But it turned out that the experts were all wet on this one anyway, because before the final whistle was sounded, the Owls managed to rack up 27 points while handing their rivals a goose-egg. Outstanding in the fray was Tony Hubka, kid brother of the famous Gene, who tallied 139 yards in the game and was instrumental in taking the ball down to within plunging distance for two goals and also converted the extra point for the first six-pointer. Fullback Sid Roche scored the first two goals by heaving himself over the line in a plunging play. The final goals were the result of speedy passes by Ralph Cardillo who hit Tony Graziano and Bill Lipski for the payoff. Walsh and Wilson converted. SWARTHMORE With a bit more confidence and a victory over a major team under their belts, Morrison ' s charges met Swarthmore, a team loaded with Navy trainees, and did the unexpected again by downing the Garnet, 13-6, in a mire once called Temple Stadium. The rain-soaked spectators were brought to their feet before three minutes had passed when big Dee Crabtree, Garnet back, broke the entire Owl defense for a 68-yard run that culminated in the first goal tallied against the Cherry and White this season. The conversion was missed, however, leaving some hope for a margin of victory if by chance the Templars could slip through for at least one goal. The second half found the Owls recharged and from then on Temple had its own way on the field. Hubka picked up 11 yards with a pass to Perkins and then reached the Garnet 30 on a shifting run. Sixteen more yards were realized on a pass to Thomas after Wilson had taken it to the Swarthmore 20. Tony then plunged over to tie the score which then went in Temple ' s favor as Jimmy Wilson converted. Then on a lucky interception by Len Shetline, Al Najounas took the ball to the 4 and Roche went over to wrap up the ball ga me for the Owls.
