...magnificent fight, a feeling of over-confidence, which was to prove fatal, spread over the Crimson camp. Last Saturday, Centre again invaded the Stadium and this time, under the brilliant leadership of "Bo" McMillan, carried home a 6-0 win. The University again sought to stage a last minute comeback but this time luck was against them, for although Churchill succeeded in reaching the four-yard line in a forward pass, he was called back because of a penalty...

Then every bit of advance calculation went to the eternal bow-wows when Holy Cross by a single field goal defeated Syracuse. It was thought that Meehan's "Big Team" had staged a comeback when Washington and Jefferson was thwarted 14-0; but along came Maryland State unpretentiously, and aided by butter-fingered play by Syracuse backs, they defeated Syracuse for the most unaccountable overturn of the year...
