on a chilly afternoon to see the
Terps win their eighth straight
in an unbeaten season and CIV
lose for the fourth time in seven
games.
Maryland played like a team
tired of being a top-heavy
favorite. and perhaps it cured
that situation. Against once
beaten Mississippi next Saturday
in Byrd Stadium Maryland prob
ably will be even-up at best.
Field in Good Shape.
The Terps had absolutely nc
weather excuses despite the
storm. Instead of the sloppy
going that many feared, the turf
at the stadium had only a few
soft spots, one of them on the
10-yard line, where there was
little action. The field had been
protected by a tarpaulin that
was removed just before game
time.
1t was a To ball game at half
time. but the CIV hopefuls who
envisioned the biggest ,set
since Mississippi Southern beat
Alabama were put in their place
early in the third quarter. The
TerpS made the utmost of a
partially blocked kick and a re-
covered tumble to score two
quick touchdoWns and take a
commanding lead. 1t was the
TerpS slimmest halftime leac
since their opener at Missouri.
The Colonials excelled mainly
on defense. scoring only on q
16-yard pass from Bill Weaver
to Richie Gaskell in the second
quarter after Lou Donofrio's pass
interception gave CIV the ball
on the Maryland 18. Other than
that, the Colonials were not in
side the Maryland 45-yard line
CIV Totals 1O8 Yards.
Maryland had almost a 3-to-1
edge in total offense and prob
ably increased it's standing
among the Nations top defensive
teams. The Terps held CIV IT,
33 yards rushing and restricted
the gains on eight pass compile
tions to IS yards. for a total Of
fense of 108 yards.
Maryland rolled up 241 yards
on the ground. more than a third
of it by the fleet and nimble
Chester Hanulak. the leading
ground gamer of the Atlantic
Coast Conference.
However, Maryland completed
only three of 13 passes, and fol-
its last two games has completed
only five passes. That is unbe-
coming the Nations second
ranked team.
Hanulak. the Jersey Terror
from Hackensack. put Mary
lands first touchdown in mo-
tion by taking a Bernie Faloney
pass for 40 yards to the Colonial<
9. The pass didn't cover much
yardage but Hanulak did, after
a nice fake.
Chester scored the first of the
two quickies in the third quarter
cutting 38 yards down the side
lines. For the day he had sc
yards and still is just a shade
under 9 yards per carry fol-
the season.
Reserves DisappOint.
Maryland's second team again
was a tremendous disappoint-
ment. For almost half of the
second quarter and for the first
few minutes of the fourth the
TerpS' second-stringers showed
minus yardage in total offense
and couldn't stop CIV. They
finally rolled on a 69-yard touch
down march in the fourth quar-
ter but not until they must have
lost Jim Tatum's confidence In
them.
Maryland scored the second
time it was in possession, but
there was an embarrassing inter-
mission before the next one. The
first score was a first-team pro-
duction. coming on a 63-yaro
drive in seven plays. Faloney's
pass to Hanulak ate up 40 yards
to the 9 and Hanulak made
yards. Faloney 2 and Ralph Eel
ton the touchdown and extra
point. That was the only score
and only threat in what must
have been the fastest first Pc
riod of the season. George Wash
ington gained only 8 yards IL
that first quarter.
