While crowd Of 22,151 cold, rain
drenched and bipartisan spectators
looked on in wintry setting, Mary
lands best football team in years
made a bid for National recogni-
tion yesterday at Griff1th Stadium
and fumbled so often that North
Carolina's Tar Heels won their fifth
straight victory. 10 to 0. by scoring
all the games points in the final
period.
ALI in all, Maryland fumbled six
times. lost the ball six times and, as
a direct result of its fifth and sixth
fumbles, lost the ball game. The
defeat came as bitter blow to
Maryland supporters, who only thin
ly disguised their hopes for bowl
game bid at the expense of the
Carolinians.
Terps Overdo Fumbling.
Coach Jim Tatum's charges over
did the fumbling. Their first four
bobbles cost them no points on the
scoreboard, although they helped to
restrict play in Maryland territory
during the first three quarters. But
the fifth tumble spelled disaster,
the sixth served to bar the door and,
later in the final period, an inter-
cepted pass which was run back for
q touchdown was all that many
frozen patrons needed to send them
home.
The Marylands and North Caro-
linas entered the arena wearing
black and white jerseys, respec-
lively, but after two minutes on the
muddy turf nearly everybody looked
alike. Thanks to the Terrapin fum-
bles and Walt Pupa, a fullback who
seemed better and more consistent
player than his highly publicized
teammate, Charley Justice, North
Carolina constantly was on the
offense during the first three periods
and the wonder was how Maryland
managed to be on even terms.
Ironically, Maryland had Just
stiffened to end 57-yard march
when Carolina was given Its first
opportunity to score. 1t was early In
the fourth quarter and Maryland,
having stood fast. took over the ball

On the first play Quarterback Vic
Turyn, star all during the dreary
day, fumbled. Guard Bill Wardle
recovered for the Tarheels on the
l8. This was Maryland's fifth fum-
BILE and 1t hurt, for pupa blasted his
way for IL yards to Maryland's

distance for touchdown. Box Cox.
an end, made good on the first OF
three placements and it was TO
with only two minutes gone from
the final period.
There still was plenty Of time for
Maryland to get back into the game
-13 minutes, by the clock-but on
the second play after the kickoff
the Terps' Lee Ganbino fumbled
and q hearty young man named
Larry Klosterman recovered on
Maryland's II.
Habit was forming at this stage.
The Marylands were habitually
fumbling and the Tar Heels were
learning to do all right after re-
covery. On the second play Justice
slanted off his own left end and
scooted across the goal, a dis
heyeled, mud covered figure whose
only claim to recognition by those
in the stands was peerless broken
field ability.
Sherman Gets Last Score.
That sewed up the game. A little
later, as dusk began to overwhelm
the stadium, Turyn attempted a
long pass which a first-year back
named Fred Sherman intercepted
on Maryland's 80 and ran for the
third touchdown, more or less
resplendent in a largely unmuddied
uniform. -.
There were minutes and 40
seconds of time left, but Maryland
couldn't do much about 1t. The
Terpe didn't do much all day. as
matter of fact. Midway of the Sec
ond quarter they got to Carolina's
A. where they fumbled. and early
in the third period they again
reached the enemy A. In the final
moments Fambino reeled of 25-
yard run to Carolina's IS, marking
the third and last time Maryland
penetrated Tar Heel territory.
On the slippery, muddy field
Maryland was outplayed by a wide
margin. The Terps made only 7
hrst downs to is and gained only
i77 yards to 2s3 by rushing. The
weather was not suited for passing,
