not greatly impressive, busted off
its second consecutive victim yes
terday, sWamped Harvard, 14-2,
with a 9-goal rally in the final
period. But danger signal hangs
in the watchtower as the Terps
await Loyolas invasion tomorrow.
The Grayhounds make no secret
of the fact that this should be
one of their best seasons and have
pointed for Maryland in the hope
of scoring an early-season upset
A I'LL loss at the Old Liners hands
last season has not been forgotten
and Loyola wants a double order
of revenge.
Loyola Attack Strong.
Dick Keller and Bob McElroy are
the keymen in the Baltimoreans'
attack, teaming up with Noah and
Cory Walker, Buddy Miles and Bill
Burch to give Loyola the fastest,
smoothest offense it ever has had.
The defense is not all Coach Jack
Kelly desires, but Loyola is count
Ing heavily on its attack to offset
whatever weaknesses crop up in this
department.
Harvard gave Maryland more of
run for the marbles than Dart

period when the score read So in
the Terps' favor.
Harvard's Hopes Dashed.
But whatever hope the Crimson
entertained of overtaking its host

four goals during the afternoon,
three coming in the last period.
