AT COLLEGE PARK today the No. l ranking Marylands
may well be wondering long the posters will keep them
In the top spot Michigan, Oklahoma and Notre Dame ac-
qured some sentiment the week end the wolverines
with their big Army, the Sooners with their 22d
straight by beating Texas the Irish with their 4o
quest of Miami.
Not that Maryland doing From here on out
the Terapns don't figure lose but that perhaps is the
trouble tough part of their schedule past Now It's
question Of holding what they've got.
This ranking business is pretty trivial. but It viii be
interesting the osters who impressed after
Marylands UCLA win maintain their enthusiasm
for the Terrapns AFTER Wake Forest North Carolina SYRIA
cuse South Carolina Louisiana State Clemson and George
Washington.
Only South Carolina and Syracuse of these teams
last week end and they didn't beat anybody impressive
Furan conquered by South Carolina 1890 is the team
that Army victim by 27l2 merely was
Boston University.
AT ANY RATE Maryland is the the folks in Miami
are talking There high enthusiasm and opti-
is for test but that it's over they are
Orange Bowl conscious following Maryland If 1t
a home team which Terrapns may be in sense next
January1
"Id like to invite them right now, one Orange Bowl
oficia admitted the other day Maryland and Oklahoma
too that matter We may well start drumming up
right now"
however,
Jim Taum is fond Of hearing this point Not with six
games to play easy for squad that has such
Baylor UCLA behind it to become overconfdent and
careless.
Michigan has got pull votes in this weeks bal
loting OF that 262 win Army Not only this Mch
gans victory West Point but 1t is doubtful II
even Wolverine supporters expected pile such margin
Army had looked too good In beating Penn State the week
before for any such optimism.
NAVY IS NOT to be overlooked potentially high
ranking team That 210 win Pittsburgh was big one
and not to be forgotten that Navy still unsecured
Pitt may not be the 1t used to be back in Jock
sutheands day observers from that rate the
Partners as better than Penn State.
From the evidence Navy looking to be of match
for Notre Dame than ever which brings up the subject Of
the Irish.
Before the season started Terry Brennan conceded that
Notre Dame could games" He rapidly running
out of games lose OF what the Irish showed in Miami
they probably won't lose more than one game II any II 1t
was not spectacular win solid Young Mr. Brennan
had ball carriers the good line and surprisingly adept
passer in Ralph Hornung.
ornung is junior from Louisville whom Frank Leahy
called better quarterback than Ralph Gugelm There
those who felt that exCoach Leahy hitting bit low at
Brennan because Hornung hadn't played at quarterback
enough to qualify until the began Now looks
asif Leahy may had point Certainly Hornung do
more things than Guglielmi could at the same stage

THAT WAS NOT easy game for Notre Dame last Fri
day night because Miami was prmed and taking dead aim
at the Irish had been for couple of since Nore
Dame agreed to come to Florida for the first time.
The Hurricanes had the personnel Miami invited
probation by NCAA which 1t got for year. by illegally
entertaining prospects The ongrange goal win over
the Irish
But 1t is not easy build to football power in few
short years pointed up in the Orange Bowl before
nearly 1000 for the Hurricanes probably were
lust as good and undoubtedly bit deeper But pose
going for Notre Dame.
The Irish line outchatged Mamis and when the chips
were down big team held the winning cards In Lemek
Basciga Hornung Schaefer Fitzgerald and few others
Young not be much Of prophet but his
record at South Bend12 in 10 gamesmakes him out
to be quite coach.
