Fordham's score came so quickly
and Unexpectedly that the stands
were somewhat stunned. After the
kickoff and an exchange of punts,
the Hilltoppers tried to start an
attack from their 30-yard line. On
a delayed pass Lowe fumbled and

Receiving Fordham's kickoff the
Hilltoppers showed a squirt of real
power by moving down the field
for another touchdown without re-
linquishing the ball. McQuade
paved the way when he took in the
spinning oval on his 10-yard line
and Numbered through the field
for thirty-five yards before he was
tackled. This brilliant dash put
the ball on Fordham's 48-yard line
and Johnny was within an ace of
getting away for a touchdown
