The Hagerstown High School
Hubs, outplaying their opponents in
every department, romped to an easy
1914 win over Frederick High at
the Stadium on Friday night. Both
the Frederick tbs came in the sec
ond period, with the Hubs second
stringers in the lineup. With Hag-
erstown leading 20 to 0, Frederick
took to the air and scored on pass
Frederick then kicked and Kline,
back in safety, raced the ball back
to Hsgerstown's 81, but as he was
tackled the ball slipped out of his
hands and was gathered in by Dick
Shipley, Fredericks fullback, who
carried it to the 16 before he was
downed On the next play Bob Hall
pitched one to Bill Houck in the end
zone for Frederick's second and final
score.

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

From then on it was all Hagers-
town, who scored once in the third
period and twice in the fourth.
The Hubs scoring was featured by
the sensational running of fullback
OFT Long, who came up with runs Of
"a and 70 yards to score two of the
Hubs six tbs. Also starring for
the home team: were Quarterback
Leo Burke, who also scored twice;
the ever reliable halfback, Bob
Wantz, and later Kline, both of
whom struck paydirt.
As usual, Hagerstown's line with
out whom those fleet backfield boys
couldn't break into the clear) gave
a fine account of themselves and are
getting better in every game, and
their weakness last year, on end
around plays, seemed to have en-
tirely disappeared.
Coach Mel Henry and his staff
had done a fine job in bringing the
boys along and, unless / miss my
guess, it will be win number four
for the Maroon and Gray tomorrow
night, when they meet the strong
Martinsburg High School eleven at
the stadium, with game time 800
o'clock
Another pattern was woven into
the 1850 college football crazy quilt
on Saturday afternoon, when the
University of Miami team "a 40 to
so point underdog) walloped the
Boilermakers of Purdue, who the
week before had themselves upset
the mighty Fighting Irish of Notre
Dame. The score was 20 to IA.

Red Feather Time Is Coming!

Our own University of Maryland,
riding high after their smashing de-
feat of Michigan State the week be-
fore, were obviously mot up" for
their game with Georgetown and al
though they won by a score of Is
to IA, their supporters got real
scare in the fourth quarter, when the
Hoyas came within four points of
tying the score. But the Terrapins
bounced back, with just three min
utes to go, with quarterback John
Scarbath scoring from the three, af-
ter fullback Ed Fullerton has set up
the scoring play with a 24-yard run.
In fairness to Jim Tatum's boys,
however, it should be stated that
Mighty Mo Modzelewski had to sit
out the entire game due to injuries,
and that Tatum gave his reserves
plenty of action.
Although the Maryland offensive
thrust was way under par, their
defensive team again played whale
of a game, stopping the HoyaS scor-
ing threats time after time, on one
occasion pinning the ball carrier for
a safety. (The second safety scored
by Maryland was automatic when
the kicker stepped back into the end
zone.)

nate in view of the unsavory con-
notation which these words now
have in the minds of the general
public.
The undersigned take violent
exception to the use of such words
in describing their activities in
the fight for Human Rights.
The undersigned also object to
these words for a further reason,
and that is that they do not intend
to be labeled as merely followers

past years they have been leaders
in the fight for improving Human

take dictation from any individu-

The undersigned take exception
to Nelson's approval to totalitar-
