Hewitt Is Spearhead
OF Terps' 0ffense
In Early Drive
With Navy, Great Rival,
Looking On, Old Liners
Rejux in Late Going
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

Maryland's undefeated lacrosse
team moved step nearer the ma
tional championship yesterday at
College Park when it outclasse1
Princeton, IA, for its sixth straight
victory in as many starts.
Sewing up the game in the first
half on six goals by Fred (Rip)
Hewitt, the Terps relaxed to the
extent of scoring only one more
point the remainder of the game
but there may have been a reason.
For the entire Navy squad, the
biggest obstacle between the Mary
landers and their fondest goal. was
looking on from the stands and the
Terps seemed determined that their
intrastate rivals shouldn't derive Il
great deal of satisfaction from their
trip.
Although the Middies have been
defeated once, it now appears that
the collegiate title, like last year,
will be decided by the Maryland
Navy game at Annapolis a week
from next Saturday. Thus, Coach
Dinty Moore's strategy in capitaliz-
ing upon an off-day in his sched-
ule by herding his charges to Byrd
Stadium.
Hewitt Marvel in Attack.
II the Middies were desirous OF
getting a good idea of what to eX-
pect, their objections were only hall
fulfilled. After establishing their
so lead. the Terps crawled back into
their shells and contented them
selves in polishing up their defense
on the hard-Working, but lnexperl-
enced visitors.
The Tigers first two points came
IN the last two minutes OF the flrst
half when Jumbo Jim Meade, a
thorn In their fur all afternoon, was
out of the game, and their last two
didn't come until the waning mo-
ments of play.
To say that Hewitt led the Terps
attack would be gross understate-
ments as Hewitt was the winners
attack six-sevenths of the time.
From the time he scored his first of
nix goals in the fourth minute OF
play. Hewitt was unstopable, break
Ing loose time after time to hurl
himself in front of the Tigers crease
wherefrom a goal was inevitable.
Once, Hewitt projected shot from
10 yards out that hit the cross bar
and bounced down for score and
another time he took fast pass
from Oscar Nevares, but his other
four points were carried single
handedly almost into the netting,
Hewitt's scoring gave him record
OF 16 points in the Terps' last three
games.
Terps Overlook Chances.
Larry Naylor, Princetons in home,
accounted for his teams first two
scores in rapid order in the ebbing
moments of the first half. Although
aimed from we'll out, both of his
shots sped between Goalie Jack
Grier's legs with the speed Of a
bullet.
Princetons third point came on a
similar shot by Joe King. while
Bruce Baetjer accounted for the
losers final score when he came in
fast to slam home point.
Marylands superiority would have
been greater had not several of its
players lost their scoring eyes at
opportune moments. Twice Prince
tons goal was entirely unguarded,
but with points theirs for the shoot
ing, Nevares first and then George
Lawrence muffed opportunities.
AS it was, Maryland's 7 points
represented just about half of what
1t had averaged in five previous
games, but, as we said before, there
might have been a reason. After
all, one doesn't go around showing
his greatest rival the best way to
