The game marked the opening of
14-game trip of the Englishmen, dur
ing which they win meet most Of the
big Eastern schools, and was marked
by official greetings by President A.
F. Woods OF the University of Mary
land, to which Sir E&me Howard. the
British Ambassador, responded. The
ceremonies attendant upon the begin
ming of the contest were sent over
the radio. and the game itself also
went ION the air Many officials
of the State of Maryland and the Fed
eral Government were present.
Spirited Rivalry Displayed.
When the two teams took the field
each player was introduced to the
player he was to play against. They
fhook hands cordially. and then in
the spirited rivalry thai seems pecu-
liar to nations that feature sports
programs, enga ged in competition
that brought out the best in both
teams and in the game of lacrosse.
II was Beatty who had the honor
OF scoring the first goal uf the game
the first against the Englishmen in
this country. After the teams had
spent the first four or five minutes
testing each other Maryland found
itself with the ball down around the
goal trying desperately TO get it past
Borden. the brilliant goal OF the visi-
tors. Finally Beatty found himself
standing seven or eight feet in front
of the net with Linkous holding the
ball just to the right and back of the
tnet. Beatty showed his stick high i'll
the air, Linkus made !; quick toss
toward it. and even before the ball
hit Beatty's stick ii had started it's
whirl toward the goal on which the
English flag was flying. The action
was almost too quick for the eye of
those who knew not what play was
intended, and down past Borden and
into the net. the ball flashed for the
score.
FOrmbly Evens the Score.
1t was not long after that, though.
before F'ormy had placed his team on
even terms with the Marylanders.
He had a left-hand throw that for
a while was very puzZling. He got
the ball on a long toss from Borden
just a little to his own side Of the
center of the field and with a quick
dash in got off a long range shot that
seemed easy to stop, but which went
by Street into the net almost before
he got his eyes opened to the fact
that it was coming.
Anu, lIlCiuCIllt4ilS GA NNA'A'ss -
fist half that same Formy made life
miserable for Maryland's defense by
his quick, sharp dashes and even
sharner throws He made another
goal shortly after his first before ms
opponents began to reallze that ne
was shooting from his left side with
a peculiar twisting motion that was
difficult 10 prevent. -..,,

Visitors Lacking in Team Work.
The British team did not seem to be
coached so much as team, Dut rather
was a combination of rather fine indi-
vidual performers. They seemed aDIe
TO handle the ball even more deX-
4eriously than the Marylanders, and
lid more long passing. They dld not
olay ANYTHING like the running game
shown by the Maryland twelve, how.
ever, and there was not the appear
ance of teamwork about their enorts.
The ma jority of Maryland's goals were
the result of fine cooperation between
three or four men, while all but one
of the four made by the Englishmen
resulted from brilliant bits OF indi-
vidual play.
1t would be difficult to pick stars
from Maryland's lineup. The whole
team seemed to be in to turn back the
English twelve, and the concentration
of mind on that one purpose seemed to
make them a cohesive unit rather than
a number of integers. Probably 1t
was Faber, though, who contributed
most to his teams success, although
his share of the glory of victory hardly
was greater than that of Linkous and
Beatty, nor possibly of the other
members of the twelve.
Borden Stars for British.
