Y. u. 7 ONE year ago to-day Fordham hlasted the undefeated-season hopes and Rose Bowl aspirations of its hitter rival New York University. Today an underdog Violet team arose to return the compliment. The Violent Violets showed scant respect for the un- heaten Rams. Only at the outset did Fordham have the advantage, reeling off four first downs to fail after reach- ing the N.Y.U. 55. Phenomenal punting loy Dunney, Violet end, nullified any incipient Maroon drives. ln the second period Bloom returned a Palau punt to the Ram 55. Running and passing, Bloom advanced the loall to the Maroon 12. Shorten on a cuthaclc through left taclcle gained ten and a first down on the 2. Fordham's once invincible stone wall repulsed two huclqs hut on the third down Miller tossed a shovel pass to Savarese. who circled right end for the score. Sal Somma added what was to he the margin of victory. ln the waning minutes of the half the Rams sud- denly came to life. Kochel recovered a Bloom fumble on the Maroon 55. A spectacular forward lateral from Vvoitlioslxi to Jacunslci to Vvojie, carried the Rams to NAT PIERCE the Violet 52. Vvoitlcoslci and Mautte teamed up on an aerial that netted eight. McKnight fading to the right dodged a Violet taclcler and rifled the hall to Vvoitlcoslci in the end zone for the Only Mar00n SCOre. SCORE BY PERIODS Fordham ............ 0 6 O O-- 6 N. Y.

For the tirst time since 1Q51 Fordham scored victories over Manhat- tan, New Yorlc University and the College ol the City of New Yorlc. It is upon this record that the Rams stand S S tied with Long lsland University lor the mythical Metropolitan Cham- pionship. Great credit is due Coach Vinny Cavanaugh and his charges in displaying the true Fordham spir- it ol lighting luaclc in the lace ol ad- versity and coming on to triumph. Taliing a chapter from the gridiron record the Rams presented an almost impregnalnle defense. New Yorlc University and City College could malce no more than one field goal in the first hall. City College, a tradi- tionally strong team shot only tour field laaslcets during the entire game. Not only the court men malce a remarlcahle record ot games won lxut, as Father Gannon so aptly ex- pressed it, they had a certain court CAPTAIN CREIGHTON DRURY personality ol which Fordham can justly he proud. lvlajor letters were awarded to Captain Creighton Drury.
