History

[edit]

For many decades the best college football team in Maryland would get a trophy. Up until 1942 Maryland and Western Maryland were the biggest rivalry in the state. After World War II, Western Maryland college decided to no longer play against larger schools and instead play what is considered to be its “natural rivals.” In 1947, Western Maryland and Johns Hopkins began the tradition of having the last game of the regular season be played against each other. Starting in 1946 both schools joined the Mason–Dixon Conference have always continued to be in the same conference together for football.

The night before the 1947 game a couple of Western Maryland Army Veterans came up with idea of abducting two Johns Hopkins freshmen. They had two Western Maryland College girls trick two 18 years old Hopkins freshmen into thinking they were going to a party at Goucher where there would be "women and beer." When the girls lead the Hopkins boys to the car they were tied up by some Western Maryland students. Then the two captured freshmen were brought out to a WMC pep rally where their heads were shaved and they were "properly humiliated." Then they were brought to a dorm room where they were tied to a bed and were given as much beer & burgers as they wanted. The next day, during the game's halftime, WMC brought out the Hopkins freshmen to midfield, where some Hopkins players took them back to the sidelines. The game ended in a 14–14 tie. It was reported that Hopkins freshmen were good sports about it. Western Maryland College had the same thing done to them by their old arch rival Maryland about 10 years earlier.[1]
