SPORTS-TERROR TALKWE WTLL FIGHT FOR DEAR OLDWESTERN MARYLAND TO WTN! WIN!WIN! ... How appropriate those words werethis fall when <strong>the</strong> Terrors ran roughshod overall but one of <strong>the</strong>ir opponents in varsity football.Mason-Dixon Conference Champions for19,19 tells only part of <strong>the</strong> stOI'Y of that greatHavens coached team which marched undefeatedin conference play and climaxed <strong>the</strong>season by crushing "Johnnie Hopkins" 35-7 atHomeland for <strong>the</strong> final game of <strong>the</strong> season.One of <strong>the</strong> many bright spots of <strong>the</strong> Terrorteam was Joe Giannelli, a 155 pound "dynamite"senior ball carrier from Medford, Mass.,who averaged 5.97 yards for each of <strong>the</strong>eighty-one times he lugged <strong>the</strong> pig-skin andgrossed 496 yards gain for <strong>the</strong> season. But asJoe will tell you, without <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r fellows out<strong>the</strong>re knocking down potential tacklers his jobwould have been nigh impossible. DUring <strong>the</strong>year Joe scored 60 points out of <strong>the</strong> total 209his team racked up against <strong>the</strong> opposition.The 'Terrors outgained <strong>the</strong>ir opponents on<strong>the</strong> ground, grinding out a net of 1949 yardsrushing against 658 yards of <strong>the</strong> opposition.However, in <strong>the</strong> air, although completing mnrethan one third of <strong>the</strong> passes attempted for a• total gain of 613 yards, <strong>the</strong>y were outpessedby <strong>the</strong>ir opponents who gained 831 yardsthrough <strong>the</strong> ail'.Despite <strong>the</strong> fact that 15 members of <strong>the</strong>194!1 team have played <strong>the</strong>ir last <strong>college</strong> root,ball, <strong>the</strong> prospect f01" 1950 looks good. Undoi,<strong>the</strong> watchful eyes of Coach Havens and DickHarlow, who was out <strong>the</strong>re this yeat- in anadvisory capacity, <strong>the</strong> Green and Gold shouldpull up with a championship team again in1950.Soccer was <strong>the</strong> low point for varsity playthis although <strong>the</strong> Hill boote-s producedsome team candidates.
