down. Left Halfback Birdsall receiv-
ed the ball from the centre He pass
ed it to Fullback Twigg, who made a
Ing forward pass to Weaver. The

Western Maryland tried the same
formation again. However, instead OF
Twigg passing to his left he shot the
ball to Captain Sprague, who had got
back of the centre of Hopkins line.
The ball was placed on Hopkins 13-
yard line.
Two more line plunges resulted in
five yards for Western Maryland. On
the third down and five yards to 20
for first down Left End Beall got
away from the line without Hopkins
following him Holding Off two Hop
kins men, Twigg hurled the ball to
