be said about Maryland after
the Terps' ninth straight tri-I
umph--four this seasons that
like other good Jim Tatum-
coached teams 1t has not been
behind this year. that 1t has held
opponents to an average Of 45I
yards rushing per game, and that
Iit has Frank Tamburello.
When the Terps won 10
straight two years ago. they
scored first and stayed ahead In
each game. They're following
the same pattern this year. al
though against UcLA the touch
down didn't come until the third
quarter.
And speaking of UCLA. the
Bruins now have ia points
against Texas AIM. Washington
State and Oregon and have been
scored on only by Maryland.
The man behind the Terps'I
early touchdowns Is Quarterback
Tamburello. He might not be as
spectacular as some Of his prede-I
SCISSORS. but he's b mighty efiicienti
young man.
Masterful Play Calling
Tatum and his assistants
Thought Tamhurello's play calling
lin Maryland's 75-yard touchdown
drive from the kickoff last 6atur-|
day was q masterpiece. The IS
yards required IL plays. but
Tambo Just knitted the DeaconsI
to pieces, a slice Of yardage here
and a slice there.
And when Maryland scored
Just before the half, and it ap-I
Ipeared the clock might stop them
before Wake Forest did. TamboI
lined up his team without a hud-I
die. But he wasn't in so much
of a hurry that he couldn't
change the signal at the last
second. He saw the DeaconsI
were punched for his sneak for
the score, so he added or sub
tracted two from the call, what
ever he does In such a situation.
land sent Ed vereb wide with a,
Ipitchout for the touchdown.
Tamburello has been the quar-
Iterback on eight of Maryland'sI
10 touchdowns this season. His
passing average is about So per-
cent. He has deception and Isl
Ione Of Maryland's best defensive
backs in Tatum's tenure.
Fritsch's Debut Advanced
John Fritsch. the Terps' sopho-I
more quarterback. is an engin-
eering student and win take I'VE
years to complete his course. sol
the Terps were hoping to let
Fritsch go along for experience
this year. But Fritsch made his
debut against the Deacons and
now he win be available only two
more years. He broke in on de-
lfense but lad Q chance to run
the club briefly later In the
game.
Tatum appeared completely
Iunconcerned that Wake Forest
scored in the last few minutes.
He said he told the team at
|halftime that he didn't want q
boy to come to him in the last
quarter and plead to get back
into the game to save q touch
down, or to score another. That
has happened in the past. and
sometimes he has needed the
pleas of his first-stringers to go
back in. He emphasized he
didn't want them even to ask.
At the end of the third quar-
ter an assistant handed him a
list of the boys who were dressed
who hadn't played, and soon
they we're in the game. He didn't
take them out when the DeaconsI
recovered tumble in Maryland
territory.
First Look at Scrubs
This is the first time he has
been able to use his third and
fourth string subs and he was
| far more interested in seeing
them under fire than In making
the score more impressive.

North Carolina this week the
accent positively will be on off

game. "just q few simple plays.
because we haven't worked on
lit yet" They we're supposed to
perfect their attack last week,
but Tamburello missed the heavy
work because Of an ankle injury.
Coach Tom Rodgers Of the
Deacons dropped a hint as to
his future. He was talking about
Irnisfortunes in general and said.
Next year they're going to find

the game say Rogers positively
