The Hagerstown Hubs, as was ex-
pected, were too strong for the lads
from Montgomery-Blai High School
of Silver Spring and they won by
score 10 to on a rain-swept field.
After a scoreless first quarter
Trumpower recovered Blair fun
BILE and raced 81 yards for the touch
down, but the try for extra point
was no good.
1t was 1870 in the third quarter
when Johnny Kramer broke through
the middle of the Blair line and
ran 81 yards to score and Smith kick
ed the extra point. Then in the
final quarter, with less than two
minutes to go. Wantz scored the
third and final touchdown on a 49,
yard run. Smiths try for the extra
point failed and the game ended a
few moments later.
The game may, however, have
been costly to the Hubs, as both
quarterback Burke and fullback
Long were injured. Burke came
out of the game with a pulled tendon
and Long suffered a back injury,
although it was not known, as this
was written, how serious the in
juries are.
The Hubs journey to Baltimore
on Friday, where they will meet
Baltimore City College at P. M.
Cold weather prevented the play
ing of the final games of the Wash
ington County Baseball League Play
offs on Sunday afternoon, between
Keedysville and Williamsport, but
Paul Macy, president of the League,
hopes that the weatherman will have
pity on him on Saturday, when they
hope to wind things up.
AA
SMU, who unlike Army, have a
really tough schedule, dropped from
the unbeaten, united ranks on Sat
urday afternoon when a fighting
Texas team beat them by a score of
% to 20.
Army, taking advantage of two
poor punt returns, smacked down
Penn % to IS
Although have always criticized
Army's weak schedule, there is no
denying the fact that they were too
good for Penn. Not only did they
have the power to convert two bad
punt returns into touchdowns, but
they were also able, not only to
bottle up the hard, fast running
Bagnell, but also to ruin his pass at
tempts.
Maryland had little trouble with
George Washington, winning easily
by score of % to Z.
The George Washington boys held
Jim Taum's stalwarts to an amaz-
ing TT tie in the first half. but in the
second half the Terrapins turned
on the power.
Princeton is one of the most I'M
der-rated college teams in the coun-
try and their consistent victories
don't get the headlines that some of
the other big college get. But there
are some experts who rate the team
right up at the top and even go so
far as to say that they would stand
good chance of beating Army.
The remarkable feature of the pro-
fessional games on Sunday after
noon-apart from the fact that the
Baltimore Colts finally broke into
the win column by beating the
Green Bay Packers Al to 21-was
the fact that three games were won
by field goals.
First, and most remarkable of all,
was the Pittsburgh Steelers 81 win
over the Philadelphia Eagles, with
out the benefit of touchdown.
While the Eagles scored the only
touchdown of the game, Pittsburgh
won it with three field goals
The New York Giants, tied with
the Washington Redskins, pulled
the game out Of the fire five seconds
before the game ended with a 40
yard field goal. And finally, field
goal was the difference between the
Cleveland Browns and the Chicago
Cards, with Cleveland winning by
a score of 10 to Z.
