NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.--
Tennessee is a seven-point IA
vorite over Maryland in the Sugar
Bowl here on New Years Day,
but those odds are not dictated
by the man on the street here in
the bayou country.
Little old Maryland, a football
Iupstart, has captured the unquali-
fled respect of thousands who will
ATTEND the Sugar Bowl classic, and
many fans are just waiting to
grab up those seven-point wagers.
Mighty Tennessee, coached by
the successful Bob Neyland. can
be beaten by a f1ashy team such
as the Terps, these fans are say
ing.
One reason Maryland is so pop
ular so far from home is because
the Terps were at their best in
their two visits to Southeastern
Conference territory this season
The sports writer's who watched
them maui Georgia, 43 to Z, are
still writing about it, and when
Maryland took Louisiana State
81 to 0. just 80 miles from here
the comment the next day was
1--WE just saw one of the Sugar
Bowl teams"
Takes On Bowl Atmosphere.
New Orleans today started to
take on a real bowl atmosphere
and it will become more evident
tomorrow when a Pullman city OF
5000 will be set up in railroad
yards virtually in the heart of the
city. Basketball, boxing, track
tennis and a regatta. all side
events to the football game, are
attracting their share of the early
visitors. It was summer like mere
today and the forecast for tomor-
row is cloudy and mild with the
temperature in the middle 70's
Slightly cooler weather is expected
for the game Tuesday, and this is
in keeping with the wishes of Jim
Tatum, Maryland coach.
1--WE must have a cool day OF
we will last only a half" Tatum
said. We're too far out of shape
to play in hot weather"
Neyland said he wanted any
thing but rain, adding that rain
helped the underdog and the
heavier team, and on the record
Maryland fits both of these cate
gories.
Last Heavy Workouts Held.
Both teams worked hard for rhe
last time today, Tennessee at
Baton Rouge, which Neyland
termed one of the best bowl game
training sites he has seen, and
Maryland at Biloxi, where the
Terps worked for two-and-a-half
hours and then held a Commute
AICC Ctll1S.
The Terps will work for an hour
tomorrow and that will conclude
the physical part Of their prac-
tice. Tennessee will stage light
drill tomorrow and Monday and
make the 80-mile bus trip Just
prior to the game.
That is in contrast to Tatum's
normal conditioning. The Mary
land coach doesn't believe in bus
rides Of over a few miles on the
day OF the game. The Terps will
leave Biloxi at noon Monday and
spend the night at a naval base on
the outskirts of this city.

own Hank LauriceIla, from Holy
Cross High School here, who will
be the best offensive back Mary
land opposed this year. The ghost
of Lauricella is the key figure in
the Maryland workouts as Hank
holds the key to the punting. one
of the most feared OF all of Coach
Neyland's manuevers.
Terps Study Vol Kicking.
Maryland worked an extra half
hour on Tennessee's kicking
game" which Neyland regards as
part Of his offense. There was not
too much stress on blocking Lau-
ricella's punts. as Maryland
coaches could remember seeing
only one Tennessee kick blocked
this year in their scout reports
and movies. A Duke player got his
hand on one of Hanks kicks. But
that was quick kick.
The Terps are divided between
playing one safety man on kicks
or two. If they decide on two, it
will be Joe Petruzzo, the regular,
and the other viii be Lynn Davis
or Shoo-Shoo Shemonski.
Tennessee has Bert Rechichar
on defensive duty, and while Lau-
ricella is the best triple-threat
back Maryland has met this year,
Rechichar probably will be the
best all-round back. He is the
team captain and offensive wing
back as well as defensive safety
man.
The Vols reported one injury
today. Ralph Adams, e. guard who
may be out with a bad hip. Be-
cause of travel difficulties encoun-
tered by some of the Northern
players, the entire squad did not
arrive at Baton Rouge until yes
terday, and Neyland has shown
his displeasure.
Neyland, incidentally, continues
to refer to Maryland, as the
greatest team Tennessee ever
played" Neyland, however, never
has seen Maryland play.
Injured Terps Improve.
There were no new casualties
in the Maryland camp today and
of the three injured players, only
Halfback Ralph FELTON, failed to
show improvement.
Paul Lindsay did lot don pads
but he was catching passes, mostly
by blocking the ball against his
body. The old wrist injury that
recurred two days ago definitely
will handicap him against the
Vols, but he still will be a threat.
Marty Crytzer, a linebacker, ia
vored his bad ankle but he was
running on it. FELTON, remained in
street clothes and it is doubtful If
he will be of much use. Maryland
will miss FELTON,, of course, if he
cannot play, but the Terps are
deep in offensive halfbacks. jeff
Keith, a center, was limping with
a shin bruise, but that is some
thing temporary.
Maryland not only worked
against Tennessee's kicking but
stressed its own punting, with
Bernie Faloney and Fred Heffner|
doing the kicking. Barring injury,
Faloney will do all the kicking
against the Vols. Heffner, a
sophomore, isn't considered sea-
soned enough despite his heroics
las a freshman, when spectators
gathered just to watch him kick.
Coach Red Drew of Alabama

the Blues, scoring a touchdown
from the one, and heading an
array of blockers on good gains by
Rollie Strehlow of Wisconsin.
The picture changed quickly
when Benners took over the Gray
passing in the second half. He
completed four Of five throws to
get rs of the 81 yards necessary
for a score. Barton took it the
last foot.
Strehlow put the Blues back in
the lead on the second play of
the final period. Bobbie Albert of
Bucknell raced 80 yards with a
punt to the Gray IL. Strehlow
made it all the way on the next
play.
Then Benners went back to
work, getting 48 yards on one long
throw to Jackie Beeler Of Wofford
to spot the ball two yards from
the goal. Freeman carried it over,
Freeman and Reichardt added
the extra points after the first
four scores, to leave the game tied
at 14-14.
Score in Last 4 Minutes.
Only four minutes were left as
the Grays began their final drive,
with Benners passing to Barton
for II, to Steve Wadiak Of South
Carolina for IL, then to Barton
again for a. With the goal only
seven yards away. Barton tipped
the scoring toss on fourth down.
For the day. Benners completed
IA out of 81 passes for 272 yards.
It was one of the top individual
performances in the 13 Blue Gray
games.
The contest is played annually
between picked squads of North
ern and Southern senior college
players. Today's win was the
ninth for the Grays.
Aside from Reichardt and
Strehlow, Wisconsin's Pat O'Don-
ahue was outstanding at end for
the losers. Virginia's Joe Palumbo
and Georgia's Marion Campbell
starred in the line for the Grays.
Strehlow was the games top
runner, with lot yards in II tries.

USE = The highway commission
has requests almost every week for
temporary blocking of through
roads to accommodate community
parades or street dances. Usually
the highway patrol is also con-
tacted and arrangements made for
directing traffic over alternate
routes. which may be less desir-
able but are passable with very
little delay or inconvenience in
through-traffic movement. All such
requests for special use of public
roads raises the basic question of
who the roads belong to. The le-
gal answer is easy; a practical
answer may be more complicated.
The public roads belong to all the
people of North Carolina, not to
residents or municipalities imme-
diately adjacent to them. The state
is spending thousands of dollars
year to get outsiders to use these
roads, so there is implied obliga-
ton to keep them open and free
for travel by these invited guests.
So the proposition boils down to
the fact that any road block, how
ever locally important, should be
considered also in the light of pro-
bable influence upon through trav-
elers. For that reason, state Off
cials urge that local authorities
pre- vide alternate routes when main
thoroughfares are closed for any
purpose and for any considerable
length of time.
LOADS - Talking about high
ways and their use brings to mind
the recent report of the highway
commission on truck weight loads.
For some years it has been recog-
nized, and legislatures have taken
cognizance of the fact in enacting
load-limit statutes, that axle-load
rather than gross weight of truck
is important factor so far as i'm
pact upon highways may be con-
cerned. There is one exception to
the general conclusion: On bridges
total gross load may be fully as
much, or even more Slgnlflcant
than axle load.
BRIDGES James S. Burch,
planning and statistics engineer
for the highway commission, ex-
plains it this way. (Jimmie Burch
might not like the idea of having
his explanation presented in this
fashion, but he said it, If a man
is lying on the ground and another
walks over him, the only impact
felt is that of the feet on some
part of the body; but. If the man
is stretched across a chasm with
his head on one side and his feet
on the other, and another man at
tempts to walk across him, he, must
bear the full weight of the sever
al steps required. That's where
gross weight load comes into prom
inence on bridges as contrasted
The daily record., 1951-12-12

with axle-load on ground high
ways. Another thing about bridges
which Burch did not say but a
road builder did, may be signifi-
cant here. That is that every two
lane bridge must be built to sus-
tain at least double the legal weight
limit. Maximum truck gross limit
is $1,000 pounds or 20 tons. Maxi
mum axle load limit is 10000 pounds
or nine tons. Ground based high
ways are built to care for that
weight with considerable excess al
lowance. Consider two-l n e
bridge with probability of two max
imum weight trucks going in op-
posite directions passing jim the
middle of a bridge span. If the
bridge hasn't been built to hold
up approximately sixty tons it will
cave in. AS matter of historic news
fact some have caved in with ira
gic consequence, although presum-
ably they had been tested to hold
more than maximum load possible
in one-way traffic.
STR E ETS - Streets in cities
and towns also should be kept
open for use by folks from else
where as well as for local purposes.
Even before the Powell bill became
effective, and when municipalities
bore the cost of building and MAIN
tanning streets, the state highway
commission exercised some con-
troll over temporary blocking or
closing of streets that constituted
parts of through highways. Now
that the state has responsibility
for maintaining these streets, the
right of the state to have some
voice in their use is unquestioned.
Some legal technicalities respect
ing the definite boundary lines of
authority between state and NUM-
cipal authority for temporarily
I closing streets to through traffic
have not been worked. There should
be no serious difficulties of both
state and local officials approach
the question from a common sense
starting point. Quite obviously, it
is no longer exclusively preroga-
tives of mayor or town board
to promulgate an order Temporal
rily closing to through traffic a
street that is an integral part of
state highway. Neither is it the
exclusive prerogative of the state
highway commission to order clos
ed or opened street which has
been built and largely maintained
by municipal funds, without ma
terial participation of the state.
Ordinarily telephone call or ex-
change of two or three letters will
clear up any problems involved.
BIGOTRY = Instances of con-
fusion and conflict are unusual
enough to be newsworth, and in
almost every instance such trouble
as developed had its origin in a
type of bigotry. Some small town
official wanted it known that
them folks in Raleigh can't tell
me how to use our Streets" or
some minor state official insisted
upon demonstrating that mo hick
town cop can block state high
way" There have been very few
instances of serious friction be-
tween state and local traffic au-
thorities. These few could have
been avoided by a little advance
common sense communication be-
tween the two levels.
