Seven suffering years OF consec-
utive defeats at the hands of St
Johns College football teams were
swept away yesterday, and remain
only a memory, like a bad dream,
to students and alumni of the
Maryland Agricultural College, at
College Park, Md.
The Maryland Aggies arose
from the dead ashes of their past
selves, grabbed their ancient rivals
by the throat, and wiped up the
College Park Gridiron with the
Annapolis Collegians. Score, 13
to O.
The bad taste of seven years of
defeat, followed by the sugar
coated pill, was eaten with a relish
yesterday by the Aggies, while the
biggest crowd which ever wit
messed a football game at College
Park thronged the stands and side
lines.
