Saves CoIoniaIs From
Complete Terp Rout
By Bin Fuchs

1eAC Dy MAryldN0 lASC nlgnC at
College Park might have been
worse but for the gameness Of
Joe Holup.
The Colonials' big center kept
his houndering teammates from
being completely routed by the
determined Terps. but he didn't
have enough help to stave of
GW's first defeat in IL games.
Holup was high scorer with q
points, despite a sprained wrist.
turning in his usually fine game.
It was a bad night for the
losers and a good one for their
hosts. George Washington didn't
look the part of the Nations
seventh-ranked team, to the dis
may Of it's fans inNthe standing
room only crowd of 1000 jammed
into Ritchie Coliseum. The
Colonials' field goal accuracy of
20 per cent was far under their
47.8 seasonal average. And the
close-guarding Terps made a big
dent in GW's 84.5 point-scoring
average.
Coach Praises Holup.
Coach Bill Reinhart gave
Holup full credit for his work
in his dressing room review of
the game.
Mine out Of 10 players
wouldn't be dressed for the game
tonight" the coach said. "Joe's
suffering from a badly-sprained
wrist he got against VMI and
what happens? He carries us
on his back"
Holup, his wrist swathed in
bandages, did just that. He
scored nine Of GW's II field
goals and nine out of Is foul
tries to lead both teams in
scoring.
IF you can't shoot baskets,
you can't win" Reinhart said.
I'VE got the shots all right. but
nobody was hitting. Corky Dev-
lin couldn't buy a basket. Ell
lott Karver couldn't hit.
"Why?" Reinhart asked.
"Well, they're just like you and
II. There are days when you
can't get anything done. Days
when you might as well stay in
bed. I guess we should've stayed
! in bed"
Big Contrast After Game.
Leaving the CIV dressing room
and walking into Maryland's was
like leaving a funeral and going
to a wedding. The Terps were
whooping it up over their most
important Of IL victories in Is
games.
/ Coach Bud Millikan was smll-
| ing. THE kids really were up
for this one" he said. John
Sandbower really came of the
bench to do a job on those
boards. Bob Kessler played a
SIcdL BaI1C 4OA 10. AAG AS0AAJ
did a job on Devlin.
These boys have been point
ing for this game all week.
CIV never met a club like this
before" Millikan continued.
Now have to keep these
boys up for Virginia. We play
there Tuesday night. It's 60
ing to be tough. You know.
you can get UP for some games
and not for others. Like our
losing that game to Georgetown.
Now we're a much better club
than that"
That's exactly what Reinhart
was saying about his club. It's
a better club than it showed
last night.
| Shue High for Terps.
Gene Shue, Maryland's ALL
America candidate. was high
man for his side with % points
and he also did a good job Of
: guarding harVer.
Devlin. CIV set-Shot star who
had a 221-point average AS the
country'S 25th leading scorer be-
fore the game. was held to seven
points. Corky hit only twice
from the floor, both coming
with only seconds left to play in
the third quarter.
Maryland's methodical style
held CIV to three field goals in
the first quarter and three in
the second. The Colonials didn't
score in the third period until
Devlin found the range.
The lead changed hands sew
en- times in the first period be-
fore a basket by Shue sent
Maryland ahead. Kessler's tap
in gave the Terps a 14-9 lead
at the end of the period and
Maryland never surrendered it.
The winners held off a CIV
rally in the second period to
lead by a 1925 count at the
half.
Maryland stepped on the gas
in the third period. boosting it's
margin to 46-35. That was all
Millikan's men needed to get
home safely.
The victorious Terps looked
like different team from that
which lost to Georgetown, but
Kessler had a ready explana-
ton.
eve had no hustle at George
town." he said. "We weren't
getting the rebounds"
Ronnie Brooks. former Ana
costa High School star. ade-
quately summed up the Mary
land squads feelings:
I'VE always enjoy beating CIV.
Now if they are No. Z in the Ma
ton, bring on 6, S, 4 and the
rest. We're ready"
