headway, and neither was able to make the necessary ten yards for a first down. However, in the second period TomeTs plays began to function, and they chalked up eight hrst downs, but were unable to score. McDonogh failed to score a first down during the first half. In the second half things took on a different aspect. McDonogh ap- peared to be a diflrerent team as it began to put into use its formidable air attack. Pass after pass was completed as McDonogh marched up the field. Tome held within its twenty-yard line, however, and began to use its own air attack which might have proved disastrous had not Charlie Weidinger, Cadet center, intercepted their first one. McDonogh was in Tomels territory throughout the last quarter and threw several scares into the Tome rooters when they threatened to score within the 10-yard and 5-yard lines, but, they could not reach the final stripe which would have meant Victory. MCDONOGH t35l, VOCATIONAL toi On November 17, McDonogh met Vocational 0n Lyle Field, at Mc- Donogh. Although Vocational produced a hard-fighting eleven, it was no match for the faster and bigger McDonogh team. Scoring in every period of the game the McDonogh eleven ran up 35 points to add to its highly mounting total. Edgar Allersl 40-yard runback of a Vocational punt produced the highlight of the game. This Victory placed McDonogh at the top of the league. McDONOGH C39, GILMAN toy For the second time in as many years, McDonogh has succeeded in turning back its friendly rival, Gilman Country School. The two teams battled through a scoreless first quarter, with both playing a heady and safe game. At the beginning of the second quarter, Captain Paul Horner broke through and blocked a Gilman punt which he recovered on the Gilman 25-yard line. This paved the way for the first score, after which McDonogh proved too strong for the Gilman boys, and completely out-classed them. Both teams displayed excellent blocking and tackling. It was a typical Gilman eleven which, in spite of the score, continued to battle gamely until the linal whistle. MCDONOGH Ugl, SEVERN tol In the final game of the season, which was to decide the championship of the State, McDonogh continued to play the outstanding football that it played all season, and defeated a hard fighting and determined Severn team 19 to o. Severn played a spirited game, and threatened to be the lirst to cross the Orange and Black goal line when their right tackle intercepted a lateral pass. Royston King overtook him and pulled him down on the 20-yard line from where Severn was held for downs. McDonogh displayed a variety of running and passing plays which completely bafHed the Severn players, and enabled McDonogh to capture the much coveted State Championship. TWENTY-NINE

MCDONOGH 09y, POLY toy Paul Homer, captain and tackle 0f the McDonogh eleven, kicked the bail to Poins goal line on the kickoff, from where it was run back to the ten-yard stripe. Poly was held for two downs, and then kicked to their own 45-yard line. From there Sharrets, McDonogh fullback, advanced the ball 13 yards, while Houck, Allers, and Blankenship each covered ten yards. Allers then scored on an end run. The second score came in the next quarter after a sustained drive of 40 yards, with Houck going off tackle for the touchdown. Paul Homer con- verted the extra point by a placement kick.

McDonogh unleashed a deceptive passing attack, together with a powerful running attack, to add 39 more points to the 6 already scored. McDonoghE reserve eleven showed up well in this game, and proved that it could be called upon to relieve the first team, by holding City in check, and pushing over two touchdowns. McDonogh scored 20 first downs, t0 Cityis one, which they scored on the second team immediately after it entered the game. MCDONOGH t39i, FOREST PARK toy The Orange and Black eleven continued its triumphant march toward a championship by defeating Forest Park. Running over their opponents in steam - roller fashion, and throwing successful passes from all angles, McDonogh scored sixteen first downs to their opponents three; and when the final whistle blew found themselves on the long end of a 35 to 0 count. The entire squad saw action in this contest, and every member turned in a well played game. MCDONOGH toy, TOME toy A powerful Tome eleven halted McDonogh on its march toward cham- pionship heights when both teams battled up and down the gridiron to a scoreless tie.
