  hot”-”Hold that line, Terps”- Fight team, fight -”We don’t hear you Naaaaavy.’ Yes, we went to the Maryland-Navy football game on Saturday along with 49, 1886 other folks, and saw Maryland win 35 to 21. Sat in the second row near the 50-yard line, right in front of the Maryland cheering section. Before that, along with other newsmen we had been guests of DR.. Curley Byrd at luncheon and walk ed across the beautiful rolling campus to the new Byrd Stadium, named in honor of the sports-minded PRESIDENT former Terp foot ball coach. Ultimately the stadium will be double-decked and will hold $4,000 persons. All the pomp attendant to a dedication and big game were there, gold braid galore-Secretary of the Navy Matthews, Secretary of the Army Pace, Admiral For rest P. Sherman, chief of naval operations; Vice Admiral Harry w. Hill, superintendent of the Naval Academy; Fleet Admiral Ernest j. King, Gov. William Pres ton Lane and a swarm of State of. ficials. Helping to make the occasion a gala one were Maryland’s 96-piece red-and-white clad band, the Naval Academy band and the Naval Academy’s drum and bugle corps. But the big moment for most fans was the march into the sta dium by the Midshipmen brigade. We were seated directly across the field from the section of the sta dium occupied by the impressive group of 3,700 Midshipmen and a wonderful sight it was to see them when they raised their white caps as one man in encouragement of their team. The Navy team really needed encouragement-it is COM posed of men seemingly smaller than most of the Maryland’s men. However, one of Maryland’s stars, “Shoo Shoe” Bob ,Shemonski weighs only 160 pounds. The small, fast halfback is 20-year-old Junior and halls from Archibald, Pa. But those of you who are interested in football have read all about the game. DIR. Byrd surely gave his newspaper friends a thrill by inviting them to share the events of the afternoon-and we also owe many thanks to Mr.. Crow ley of the University’s Public Relations Department, for our enter tainment. We had intended this week tc rhapsodize about the Autumn the exquisite reds of the naples the brown, dry oak leaves-the delicate shades of the wild astersblue, lavender and white-which are blooming so profusely by the roadsides-but a glance on Tues day at the letters of our cores pondents showed that at least two had used the October theme as a lead. Nice work. Picking up the American Motor. ist, official publication of the AAA’s Motor Clubs, we find Wal ter w. Hubbard, managing editor waxing poetical about Autumn in the Misty Morn”-and calling Fall “the colorful Mardi Gras of the seasons” Another AAA’s man, w. L. Robinson, chairman, Public Safety Committe, whom we saw at County Council meeting Tuesday, tells us his family is now established in their new home, on Query Mill Road, near Travilah. We wandered around that section a little on Sun day-Great Falls, Piney Meeting House Road = Travilah – Shady Grove, all nice, descriptive names. The restoration of the old Crommelin Inn at Great Falls, now a part of the Federal Park System, seems about complete. Vandals, however, have broken out some of the newly paned windows-sas;l and all. People come by the scores on .week-ends to use the picnic areas. AT least one family followed our suggestion of last week and drove to Leesburg, Va, by way of Point of Rocks, and dined at the Laurel Brigade Inn. They liked both the picturesque drive and the food at the Inn. Mrs. Joseph Rapp of Rock vile was nice enough to call on Monday and say that she and Mr.. Rapp and the two small Rapps would like us to take another Sun day trip and write about it. A nice drive one day this week. end would be to Waterford, that quaint, quiet little Quaker town
