Statistics


regardless of the spanking by
the NCAA. The Hurricanes are
loaded and, so far as Maryland
is concerned, whatever gain they
register in next weeks national
rankings won't be too much.
The TerrapinS are not deluding
themselves so far as last nights
9-7 defeat before 52,506 spec
tators is concerned. A 28-7 score
would have been more like it.
Terps Lack a Leader.
Plainly, Maryland is not very
similar to last years outfit, which
went unbeaten and united and,
indeed, never was behind during
the regular season. The Ter
rapins lack a leader. a take
charge guy in the image of
Bernie Faloney. and even Coach
Jim Tatum is beginning to
acknowledge that he was wrong
last spring when he said:
We'll score plenty of points.
What worries me is our defense" I"
In five games now the Ter
rapins have yielded only "a
points but all they have to show
for it are two victories. two de-
feats and one tie. With South
Carolina. North Carolina State,
Clemson, George Washington
and Missouri remaining it now
looks as if the Terrapins will
be extended to wind up with
better than a 500 record, which
would help Tatum's winning per-
centage not a bit.
Hurricanes Too Good.
Miami, which had never beaten
Maryland in three previous en-
gagements, was too good and
too fast for the Terrapins, who
gave it all they had until the
final gun. The fact that Quarter
backs Charley Boxold's second
period tumble led to the Hur-
ricanes' touchdown should take
nothing away from Andy Gustaf-
sons tribe and even Tatum was
in complete agreement on this
score. .. .--.
Boxold fumbled and Right
Halfback Whitley Rouviere of
Bunckner, ILL.,, recovered for
Miami on the Miami 48. With
only 42 seconds left of the half,
the Hurricanes picked up a first
down on the Maryland 80 and
missed with two passes.
"This was how fast Miami
was," Tatum said after the game.
Everybody knew they were 60
ing to throw again, with time
running out. That fellow who
caught the ball simply moved so
fast that my defenders couldn't
catch up."
Nolan Scores for Miami.
Bob Nolan. left end. was the
receiver. He took a perfect pass
from Quarterback Mario Bono
figlio a step ahead of Maryland's
Howard Dare. When John Bow
added the placement it was TO.
Miami, bearing a remarkable
resemblance to an up-and-com-
ing Army team which Gustafson
once helped to coach under Red
Blaik, more or less nailed it down
late in the third period, after
Boxold had intercepted a pass
thrown by the Hurricanes other
quarterback, Carl Garrigus.
Boxold was doWned on his own
2-yard line, but he made an un-
fortunate call on the first Mary
land play. 1t was a trap that
sent Ronnie Waller off his right
tackle and Waller was hit and
sent bouncing back. Recovering
his balance. Ronnie then tried
to run wide and was tackled in
the end zone by Halfback Jack
Losch and Nolan. Only 2:15 was
left in the period when Miami
made 1t 90.
Terps Finally Get Going.
Maryland. which seemed to
spend much of the balmy night
kicking from it's end zone, finally
got going when the clock showed
only 8 minutes left. An inter-
ception by Dave Nusz of a pass
thrown by Garrigus on the Ter
rapins' 3, and the only roughing
penalty of a decidedly clean
game, enabled Maryland to stage
a 97-yard march which culmi-
mated when Dick Bielski plunged
across the goal from a foot out.
Bielski added the extra point
