this afternoon. to g The Old Liners
only defeat this season was at the
hands of st. Johns College of An

The title now rests upon the outcome
OF the Maryland-Navy contest at An
napolis next Saturday, one of the fea-
lures of June week at the Academy.
In their struggle with the Blue Jays
here today the Old Liners furnished
quite surprise by handily taking into
camp the team which only last week
had extended st. Johns to the limit
before dropping an overtime 7-to-5 deci-
sion. The Baltimoreans were clearly
outclasSed in all departments of play,
Maryland cutting their defense to
shreds with well-timed, accurate
passing attack and presenting a prac-
tically tmpregnable Gordon Of protec-
ton around its goal
Evans Has Big Day.
Country Evans. Old Line in home,
was the outstanding player of the game
Three times he lodged and twisted his
position where he could slam the ball
past Ferenni, the Hopkins goalie. With
these markers Evans became the lead
Ing scorer of the country with 80 points
Thomson OF st. Johns has 81 counters
to his credit. Evans has been out in
front all season with the exception of
the past two weeks.
Play was in Hopkins territory about
tWo-thrids Of the first half and nearly
that much OF the second. The score
at the tntermission was Maryland, S;
Hopkins, !.
The Terrapins started off right after
the opening whistle by getting possess
sion OF the ball and keeping 1t at the
Blue Jays end of the field almost con-
tinuously until the first goal was scored.
This was garnered by Doug Smink
perfect pass from Holloway directly
In front Of the crease. Play see-sawed
from one end of the field to the other
during the next or z minutes, Hol-
loway finally coming around from be-
hind the net to count the Old Liners
second tally. A minute later Chapman
rang up the longest goal Of the game
when he cut loose with the ball about
20 yards out the sphere going into
the webbing on the second hop.
Campbell substitute for Eagan. put
Hopkins back into the game with a
brilliant goal that was scored after he
received perfect pass from Lyons, who
was in back of the net. Evans, however,
came back with two markers for Mary
land in the last 5 minutes of the half
to give his team a commanding lead
when time was called.
Hopkins Shows Comeback.
The Blue Jays came back strongly
after the intermission and outplayed
the Old Liners for about the first 10
minutes. During this period, Dukehardt
flipped in long shot for Hopkins from
the side. to make the count, to 2.
Evans scored his third goal of the game
q few minutes later. This was the last
point of the contest, although Mary
land threatened seriously to score sew
eral times during the last Is minutes,
having the ball in Hopkins territory
most Of the time.
Heagy, at first defense for the Old
Liners, played a great game, as did
also Kegan for the Blue Jays. Kelly,
Maryland goal keeper, stopped many
Hopkins thrusts at the net Beck and
Lang, the latter an all-American selec-
ton at Hopkins last year, who were
rival centers. showed sturdy games, with
honors going to the Terrapin.
