in IS carries. including two
beautifully executed fakes-one
Of Is yards for a touchdown and
the other for As yards to set up
another score. He trusted his
bad knee to cut for the first time
like he did as a freshman and
in the Alumni game last spring
And Lewis, whom Mont paid
the tremendous compliment of
calling a potential Bernie Fall
oney, was the quarterback on
two of Maryland's touchdown
drives. He ran IA yards for the
score that put the Terps ahead
and then legged it 103 yards
with an intercepted pass to pull
Maryland out of a tight spot and
score the clincher in the SEEM
ingly never-ending final min
uteS.
For the first time this year
Lewis could do more than hobble
on his bad ankle. He was a smart
quarterback, gave Maryland its
best passing of the season. and
on the quarterback wedge he
went IA yards through the mid
die for the touchdown that put
the Terps in front.
Lewis Intercepts Pass
A questionable pass interfer-
ence call put State in position
to steal the game after the clock
had stopped working. The hosts
had fourth down and two on the
Maryland seven. and time to
score the winning touchdown,
when Frank Cackovic faded for
a pass.
He threw, and Lewis inter-.
cepted, cut for the right side
line, and with blocks by Jean
Waters and Mike SanduSky
springing him loose. he went
from yards in his own end zone
1903 yards for a touchdown. That
was 2 yards short of the Mary
land record of 105 with an inter-
copied pass by Joe Horning
against Missouri in 1851. And
Horning broke the record held
by Mont, SO yards against
Washington g. Lee when Tommy
was playing for the Terps. Lewis
was limping bit on his run,
but still had enough speed to
get away.
Lewis intercepted another pass.
recovered a tumble, played a
smart game defensively. and if
he's in good health he'll be the
quarterback when the Terps open
against Texas AIM next Sep
TENDER.
Fritsch Another Hero
Quarterback John Fritsch was
another Maryland hero. 1t was
Fritsch, the much-maligned
junior from Freeport. Pa, who
spanked the Terps SO yards to
their first touchdown which he
scored personally from Z yards
out on the roll-out pass on
which the quarterback has the
option Of running. He ran.
knocking down the flag at the
corner of the end zone, and he
booted Marylands only extra
point OF the day.
Mont started an alI-sopho-
more backfield Of Lewis. Kersh-
ner. Jim latter and Joe Behr-
mann in the second half, plus
Ben Scott and Fred Cole, also
sophs, on the line. You'll be
hearing from all Of them next
year. With spring and fall
practice ahead, in which they'll
have the advantages they missed
TINS year because there was no
time for preparation. therell be-
a big difference.
In Dick Christy. the wolfpack
had the best halfback the TerpsI
have played against this year.
The l75-pounder from Brook
haven. Pa. twisted for 10 yards
and States second touchdown
after bulling two yards for the
first.

the interior Of the line yester-
day. SanduSky. Jack Davis and

plus Tom Selep and Waters.
