AT South Carolina, 1877

lands bowl-hopeful eleven, confin-
ing its offense before the eyes of
rival scouts to a handful of plays,
marred South Carolina's homecom-
ing celebration today by scoring a
10 to 7 victory before $4,000 spec
tators in a listless exhibition en-
livened chiefly by binding rain
squalls
The Terps never were forced to
take off the wraps as they swept
to TO lead early in the second
period and later were helped to
two more touchdowns by the fumb-
ling, frequently, offside Gamecocks
who were dropping their fourth
straight decision.
Maryland was impressive when It
restricted its attack to the ground,
rolling UP 238 yards by rushing, but
Quarterback vic Turyn had for-
rible day when he passed, complet-
ing one of 10 aerials. Ironically,
Turyn's lone success scored the first
and easily the most legitimate of
the Terrapins' touchdowns.
For the drenched partisans who
braved the afternoon in South Caro-
lina's unpainted, unswept and un-
washed stadium. there was single
triumphal chord when, less than
four minutes before the end, Half
back Steve Wadiak ran 65 yards
down the puddle-pocked field for the
Gamecocks' lone touchdown. The
score recalled last years game in
which Maryland also held a 1870
lead IN the fourth period and South
Carolina came back to score 13
points. All the run today served
to do, however, was to put Rex En-
rights team on the scoreboard.
Terps Score in Second Period.
Prior to the dash by the speedy
Wadiak, fastist man on the field, the
Gamecocks' twin peaks of success
were to reach Maryland's 40, both
times in the opening quarter. South
Carolina fumbled eight times and
lost the ball four times. Maryland
recovered its own tumble to get its
second score and an enemy tumble
was claimed for touchdown behind
the Gamecocks' goal.
Maryland's first touchdown was
recorded after 1:12 of the second
period, but it was born in the first
quarter when south Carolina, which
had resisted a Maryland drive on
its Is, lost on three successive plays
and punted out. Harold Hagan
kicked and Jim La Rue brought the
ball back to the host teams 81.
Maryland worked harder and
showed more variety in attack at
this point than at any time in the
game. Johnny Idzik picked up nine
yards after Turyn had lost a couple
and Earl Roth gained II after taking
a lateral from Turyn as the open
ing period ended.
Turyn was thrown for a 9-yard
loss on the first play of the new
inning, but Hubie Werner ran for
IL and Roth plunged to the for a
first down. Turyns bad passing
luck persisted when his attemp5 to
hit Stan Karnish over the goal vas
thwarted and Werner was stopped
cold at the center of the line. On
third down, however, Turyn passed
to End Ted BetZ for the touchdown.
Bob Dean converted.
Fumbles Help Maryland.
South Carolina, consistently FUN
bling and having gains nullif1ed by
offSide penalties, helped the Terra
pins few minutes later when Half
back Bishop Strickland fumbled and
Ray Krause, 245-pound sophomore
tackle from Washington, recovered
for Maryland on the Gamecocks 20.
It required only three plays to
score, but the method was On hhe
novel side After Harry Bonk had
rushed for eight and Werner for
nine, reaching South Carolina's 8,
Turyn sent Werner off tackle. Hubie
was hit hard and furnbled, but the
bali bounced directly in front of
Turyn, who picked it up and stepped
