The surprise" theme prevailed
right down through the last big

Southern Methodist, which went to
the final barrier unbeaten and un-

and at the same time allowed its
passing ace Conerly to increase his

Two teams gave their resigning
coaches a good sendoff. Holy Cross

Players Accept Bid
To First New Year
Classic for 1erps
By George Huber

The University of Maryland's
football team will play the Univer-
sity Of Georgia in the Jacksonville
(Fla) Gator Bowl on January J..
Formal announcement Of invita-
tions and acceptances was made
this morning by Athletic Director
Walt Driskill and Coach Jim
Tatum Of Maryland and by J. Bar
rington Darby, chairman Of the
Bowl Selection Committee, in Jack
sonville.
The Terrapin players. who fin
ished their regular season with a
scoreless tie against North Carolina
State at College Park on Saturday,
met last night and voted to accept
the invitation.
The Terrapins this season lost
only to Duke and North Carolina
while winning over South Carolina.
Delaware, Richmond, Virginia Tech,
West Virginia, Duquesne and Van
derbilt for 7-2-1 record.
First Trip for Terps.
This will be the first bowl trip
in Maryland's football history, al
though Coach Jim Tatum took his
Oklahoma University team to this
same Gator Bowl last New Year
Day and beat North Carolina State.
Tatum also is well known In Jack
sonville for having coached the
Jacksonville Naval Air Station
eleven there during the war, which
is one reason his Maryland team is
getting the nod for the Gator Bowl
this year.
Two other Washington area foot
ball teams have played bowl games
in the past. Catholic University
beat Mississippi, 20-19, in the 1896
Orange Bowl and played a score
less tie against Tempe State in the
1910 Sun Bowl Georgetown lost to
Mississippi State in the 1941 Orange
Bowl, 14-7.
So certain were the Terps Of re-
ceiving the Gator Bowl bid last
| week that they had a scout watch
ing Georgia as it wound up its reg
ular season against Georgia Tech
! last Saturday. Tech won that game,
TO. Georgia also had a scout at
the Maryland game last Saturday.
Georgia Won !, Lost 1.
The Bulldogs. who last year beat
North Carolina, 20-10. in the Sugar
Bowl, turned in 4 record Of seven
wins against four losses this year.
They carried a four game winning
streak into last Saturdays game
against Tech, after starting the sea
son with only a $3.50 record. In
addition to Tech they lost to North
Carolina, Kentucky and Alabama,
while beating Furman, Louisiana
State, Oklahoma Aggies. Clemson,
Florida, Auburn and Chattanooga.
Georgia will be the first South
eastern Conference team in the
Gator Bowl The Bulldogs have
played in four other bowls, however,
They beat U. c. L. A., 80. in the
1943 Rose Bowl; Texas Christian,
1926, in the 1912 Orange Bowl;
Tulsa, 20-6, in the 1946 Oil Bowl,
and then won over North Carolina
last year in the Sugar Bowl.
Tatum said the football team
would practice Wednesday and Fri
day, then get back to heavy daily
work next week. The players will
spend Christmas at home, and ex-
pect to leave for Jacksonville De-
