X Playing superb and fighting
l. lacrosse, the University of
Maryland sent Johns Hop
kins down to an 8-to-6 defeat ir
thriller at the stadium here today
as crowd estimated at $500 held
its breath most of the time.
Coming at the end of a string of
eight consecutive victories the defeat
suffered by Hopkins killed all chance of
the Jays regaining the national cham
pionship.
Hopkins was the victim of the great
est upset recorded here in recent years.
The Jays with their highly vaunted
attack entered the game heavy favor
lite, but the TerrapinS played an in
spired game, and the huge gathering
sat stunned as Hopkins lost one
point lead early in the first half and
gradually sunk under the brilliant LAST
minute rally by the Maryland team
that scored two goals to break a 6-to-
6 tie.
1t was brilliant climax that the
game reached in the last two minutes.
The stands were treated to a brief spell
OF frenzied action as Maryland beat q
steady tattoo against the Hopkins de-
Tense and finally snapped the opposing
forces when Gordon Pugh and Jimmy
Loughran sent two shots past Fritz
Stude, the Hopkins goalie.
The 5000 Hopkins adherents in the
west stand sat chilled and silent while
some 1900 Maryland rooters opposite
cheered their team as it gained COM
manding lead of to /.

goal at half time, with the score 5
to 4. At the outset of the second half,
Maryland scored again and though
Hopkins managed to tie the count mid
way of the final 80 minutes, a second
collapse OF the Hopkins defense was
fatal
The result dropped Hopkins to Mary
lands level as having incurred one de-
feat In the campaign. Two teams re-
its national title, and Navy scheduled
to play Maryland next Saturday al
Annapolis.
Maryland will be heavy favorite to
defeat the Navy, and thus earn the title
for st. Johns, holder of 3-to-2 victory
over the Terrapins.
Gordon Pugh, Maryland center, gath
cred the lions share Of the glory If in
dividual laurels may be apportioned
among the IL IRON men from Maryland,
who played throughout without replace
ments, despite several injuries of ap-
parent seriousness. Pugh played a great
all-round game.
Hopkins was the first to score, break
ing the ice after 10 minutes of play
during which the ball swung up and
down the field. Stone shot the goal.
The Old Liners came right back to
ring up four tallies in row. 1t was as
pretty an exhibition of offensive la
crosse as has ever been flashed. On the
first Jimmy Lee passed to Gordon Pugh
for the point, Hockensmith circled the
net for the second, Lee chalked up the
| third and Fred Stieber registered the
fourth. All were scored within a period
of minutes.
The Blue Jays then rallied to count
a pair that put them back in the run
ming. Guild and Darrell made the
filings. Both of Hopkins goals were
scored while Jack Norris, one of the
Maryland'S defense men. was out on a
| penalty. Lee for Maryland and Kelly
! for Hopkins scored the last two goals of
| the period
| Colosimo gave the Old Liners two
| point lead again a minute after the
second half opened when he made a
| clever shot while half on his knees.
! This made the count to 4. Midway in
| the half Darrell made two losses for
points in quick succession to even the
count and set the stage for Maryland's
stirring finish.
