Grades Rule Out 2 Sophs,
Weaken 7erps' Title Bid
BY MerreII WhittIesey

Frank Fuqua, Maryland's s.
foot-7 center. and Mark Vodo-
pia, another sophomore basket
ball player. were dropped from
the university today because OF
scholastic difficulties. virtually
wrecking the Tsrp's hopes Of an
Atlantic Coast Conference title.
Fuqua, a Washingtonian, and
Vodopia, a New Yorker, did not
make passing grades in the first
semester. they were notified in
marks that they received yes
terday.
Both boys may appeal to the
Reinstatement Board to re-enter
Maryland next September, and
both indicated they were inter-
ested. However, Vodopia may re-
ceive a draft call before that
time. Even if they are accepted
next September, they will not be
eligible for basketball until the
| 1867 season.
Coach Keenly Disappointed.
Coach Bud Millikan, who has
been working all season with a
thin squad, but has led Mary
land to second place in the con-
ference with an 3D. record, and

hide his disappointment.

he never would play basketball.
Third in Rebounding.
Fuqua was averaging only 9.8
points for the TerpS, with l48
points in Is games, but he had
been a big help off the back

success has been attributed to its
rebounding, with Fuqua third in
this department.

sition at Kentucky.
Just before the 6-foot player

announcement, the university
released a statement in which
Rupp hinted at violation of train
ing rules.
DissensiOn Reported.
There have been reports OF
dissension within the squad for
some time. Kentucky, the Ma
tion's top-ranking team, was up
set twice recently by lowly-
ranked Georgia Tech.
Puckett said he was leaving
because he felt basketball had
become over emphasized at
Kentucky.
"It isn't regarded as a game
but as a matter Of life or death
with resemblance to ones going
to war;" Pickett said.
Training Rules Stressed.
Puckett was the only member
of the team who failed to report
for practice yesterday after
Rupp, re-stating the squads S
training rules. warned: II am
