Little did those followers of the Maroon dream that they would be considering crossing the con- ' V CAPT. MAUTTE tinent a few Weelcs later. This year, strange to say, one heard little of Fordham,s annual early season slogan, uRose Hill to Rose Bowlf, prior to the opening of hos- tilities. Even the staunchest Ram rooters loolied at the Hsuicide scheduleu with misgivings. Concern was even expressed about the opening gameg not because the strength of Fordham was doubted but because the Franlclin and Marshall team was composed of the same veterans who last year bowed to Rose Hill 14 to 7 only after Dullcie and lVlaniaci with characteristic do or die spirit scored twice lor the Maroon in the final period to grab victory from the flames. The shrill call of the opening whistle had scarcely ceased to echo when the tide of Fordham touchdowns tossed and tumbled the bewildered Diplomats about the gridiron. Spectators rubbed their eyes and gazed in awe and amazement at a Ram offense that seemed to have a baclc loose in the open field on almost every play. At last came running plays that swept Franlclin and Marshall to defeat 66 to 7.

The Mustangs heat Fordham in everything hut the final score, a mere technicality that people are wont to rememher long after an else is forgotten. One hoomerang pass cost the Texans a game featured hy the firing of forty-nine Mustang aerials-a record for passing in college foot- han. To paraphrase an old adage: He who lives hy the pass must expect to die hy the use of the same instrument turned against himf, ED. FRANCO The first game hriniance of the Fordham hacks was totally lacking, only one first down heing regis- tered. Coffin-corner kicks hy Finley, full- haclc, kept the Ram attach in check. Whatever Ford- ham failed to show on the offense was more than com- pensated hy their stalwart defense. Six times the Mustangs trod on scoring soil only to he stopped cold. Coach Matty Bell was loud in his praise of Fordhamys fighting line. L. G. Pierce ....r.... Wojie ....,,,,,,,, Lombardi ...,.. R. G.
