powerhouSe as it scored its 10th
consecutive victory, ana made a
bid for climb in national rank
ing before next Saturdays en-
gagement with the Middies. That
game now looks like the top col
legiate attraction in the Wash
ington areas football history, what
with Navy winning today.
Georgia's brief comeback, which
included a sthree-game winning
streak this season, was shattered
after spirited first period in
which the Bulldogs had the edge
Maryland's rugged defensive team
posted another shutout, and has
not been scored on since the Sec
ond quarter of the Auburn game
two weeks ago.
Scarbath's Tricks Working.
AS Coach Jim Tatum said last
week, there may be quarterbacks
in the Nation as good as JACK
Scarbath. but there are none bet
ter. The Baltimore bombshell had
his bag of tricks working to per-
fection today. bamboozling the
Bulldogs with pitchouts, laterals,
his own keep play. and inter-
spersing the ground game with
forward passes.
Maryland scored all five of its
touchdowns from inside the 10
yard line. and the Terps had such
versatility they had five different
backs going over. Don Decker
booted four out of five extra
points. and the seventh man in
the scoring column was Bob
Laughery, who booted Maryland's s
first field goal since it's 42-7 tri-
umph over Georgia a year ago.
The Maryland coaching staff
seemed grim before the game. Un-
less they are magnificent takers
they were worried about this
Georgia team that had beaten
Tulane and Vanderbilt and hum
bled North Carolina State. Tatum
did not believe Georgia could be
held scoreless because of its fine
passer, Zeke Bratkowski.
BratkOwSki Harmless.
But BratkOWSki proved tn he
harmless as far as touchdowns
were concerned. The Terps gave
him room to complete II passes,
but too often Maryland had all
of the Brat's receivers we'll
bounded. He tried % passes in
all.
The Terps had a new star at
fullback in Dick Bielski, who had
been hampered by injuries until
today. The 205-pound Baltimore
an gained exactly nine yards in
his freshman year and carried
once for six yards this season, but
he broke loose today. .
The threat of Bielski at the full
back spot further confused the
Georgia defense, which hardly had
heard of him. But the hard
running sophomore picked up 81
yards in nine mighty rushes, and
there was a suspicion the official
Statistician had unwittingly cheat
ed Dick out of additional yardage
He included one touchdown burst
of six yards in his efforts.
Little Mo" Modzelewski had
one of his finest afternoons and
many Georgia ball carrier wound
up in Dicks arms. The Georgia
ground game, which had account
ed for 800 yards in three games,
showed a net of 60 today.
Modzelewski Steals Ball.
When the Bulldogs threatened
to score in the final period, Tatum
rushed the first defensive team
back into the game. The ball was
on the Maryland %, and four
downs later Maryland had it be-
cause Little Mo stole it from Bob
Clemens short of a first down.
Speedy Chet Hanulak made al
most exactly a third of Mary
lands yardage with lis yards
gained. mostly on the business
end of pitchouts from the clever
Scarbath.
For the day the Terps gained
$40 yards on the ground and again
today Maryland exceeded 400 in
all with a tremendous asa yards
in all.
Georgia gave out after one good
quarter. The Bulldogs moved A
yards to the Maryland 36 without
losing the ball with Fred Bilyeu
gaining up the middle. Conrad
