This was the lirst time in more Llinu a tlecufla ol' competition lnetween the two schools that a Lowell aggregation was ahle to licli the Wilclcals, aucl the result ol' the game sur- priscrl llic entire loollyall world. It was the olcl, olcl story ol in goorl lnaclrlielcl without a line. Most of the Blue :intl Wliite laaelcs who led New Hainpshire to scvcn viclorics in 1937 were present in the lineup, hut they were quite powerless to overcome the hancli- cap ol' an incxpcricncccl anal poorly-coorclinating for- warcl wall.

New Hampshire never threatened to score and was ahle to gain consistently on only one play f- a Horne to Mitchell pass. Octoher 1HBates College at Lewiston Score: N. I-I. 22a-Bates 6 Exhibiting a complete reversal of form over their worlr on the previous Saturday, New l'lampshire's varsity footballers soarecl, on the wings of a smoothly- cliclcing passing attaclc, to a smashing 22-6 victory over Bates Bolacats, in a game playecl in Lewiston, Maine. After the tirst few minutes of play, the out- come of the game was never in question, except for a lone toucholown in the thircl period, the Bates eleven failed to threaten seriously, and the hall was lcept in their territory almost throughout the contest. A long pass from Horne to Frecl Vxfinterlaottom, in the seconcl periocl, accounted for the First New Hamp- shire touchdown, while Horne luggecl the hall over for the seconcl score, in the thircl period, after sopho- more Clarence Parlrer hacl almost single hancleclly car- riecl it clown from micllielcl. The linal tally came a few minutes later when Slug Knox, sophomore quarterlaaclc, interceptecl a Bates pass on the enemy 40 yarcl line and sped clown the sirlelines into Touch- clown T own. New l'lampshire's other three points were scored hy Pepper Martin on a seconcl period lielcl goal. Qctoher 8-'University of Maine at Durham Score: N. H.

The unluclcy lnrealc for ' New Hampslwire occurrecl just after tlie game laacl luegun. Fincling tluemselves in possession of tlie ball on tlaeir own 50 yard line, tlie Wildcats attemptecl 1 1, a l'lorne-to-Mitchell lateral pass, only to have Bus Burrill, laarcl-cliarging-lvlule left encl, rusli in, intercept the ball in mid-air, ancl gallop over tlie goal line for tlie all-important toucliclown.
