the Terps and shatter their hopes
Of gaining an even break on the
days activities. Maryland's lone
victory was scored by the baseball
team, which quelled a nerve jarring
ninth thinning rally to nose out
Washington College, 6-5.
The tennis match with North
Carolina's undefeated representa-
tives. and track meet with Duke
went according to form. Carolina
chalked up its 65th consecutive vic.
tory after a sterner match than ths
final 90 count indicates, and Duke
was pressed all the way to gain a
69-57 verdict over the host runners.
Palmer and Weisheit Star.
Bud Palmer, Princeton attack, was
the lacrosse match's high scorer,
ringing up five goals, two in the
crucial waning minutes OF play; but
lust as much of a thorn in Mary
lands side was Elmer Weisheit. An
elusive out-home, Weisheit, a prod
uct of Baltimore Poly, chalked up
three scores and figured in three
others. He 1t was who lodged past
Bob Fetters to tie the count at 1-all
early in the match, and who eluded
the same, desperate Fetters to break
the Gall tie with crisp shot IN
the final period. He capped a bril-
liant day of lacrosse with a neat
pass to Palmer for Princeton's final
goal.
Bob stockbridge broke the scoring
Ice with q Maryland goal from an
almost impossible angle early in the
fray, but before his mates Tailed
again Princeton had helped itself
to q commanding 81 lead. Mary
land, guilty of poor stickwork, loose
ball handling and strategy OF doubt
full caliber, remained in the run
ming through. sheer physical power
In the first half, which ended With
Princeton ahead, 8-4.
Whatever it was that Coach Jack
Faber said to his men between
halves, 1t carried enough dynamite
to shake them out of their lethargy
and the second half witnessed some
of the finest, hardest lacrosse ever
played at College Park.
Terrapins Battle Furiously.
Point by point, battling for every
inch as though possessed, the Terps
gradually closed the gap between
the teams, with Ray Grelecki, Bill
McGregor and Stockbridge literally
hewing a path through Princeton's
willing defense to the cage. The
goal that finally put the Terps on
even terms with their guests was .
perfectly-executed down-field pass
from Bernie Uman to Stockbridge,
on the dead run, followed by .
bulietlike poke at the hoop. 1t
brought the fans, already hoarse,
to their feet like puppets on string
and the scent of Maryland VIC
tory hung like heavy perfume
over the stadium.
But Princeton was not to be de-
MED. The Tigers had polished
souad-the finest ever to come out
snf Tigertown. They had stayed
with Maryland all the way, even
when the Terps applied the pres
sure, literally trying to run them
into the ground, but 1t remained
to be seen whether they were real
champions. 1t was the acid test
and Princeton responded like a
thoroughbred in a stake race. The
Tigers whipped up finish that
would have shamed summer
thundershwoer, running the score
to 1873 as the Terps futilely tried
to stem the tide. The final point
was a long, desperate shot that left
Stockbridge's crosse as the final
gun barked and did nothing more
than reduce the margin OF Prince
tons victory.
Over Last Serious Hurdle.
1t was only Finceton's third COL
legiate victory Of the year, but it
removed what appears to be the
last obstacle barring its path to
the crown. Only last week the Tigers
humbled Johns Hopkins to squeeze
into the title picture and yester-
day they proved beyond all doubt
they deserve to wear the crown.
