CHARLOTTESVILLE, Sept
29.-Virginia bit into the tough

Cavaliers made too many key

thrown by Nelson Yarbrough,

Maryland, still shackled by off,
side penalties and without much
of an offenSe except for its
touchdown drive, went so yards
in 10 plays and scored on a g.
yard flip from Ted Kershner to
Jack Healy after 33 seconds of
the second quarter.
1t was fourth-down play,
and Healy was so close to out
of bounds nobody was sure it
was q touchdown until the official
gave the signal. Fred Hamilton's
attempted placement was wide,
and that was the end of the
scoring.

Barnes Thorn to Terps

Barnes Thorn to Terps
Outgained by Jim Brown of
Syracuse last week, the Terps
almost suffered the same fate
today at the hands of Bill
Barnes. a converted fullback
from Lands, N. c., who's not
too big but plenty tough.
Barnes longest gallop was So
yards. In "a ball-carrying at
tempts he made 161 yards to 1873
for Maryland. But dead tired,
bedraggled and his jersey al
most in shreds, he didn't make
the big one when Wake Forest
needed a yard for a touchdown
with about three minutes TO 60.
1t was almost inconceivable
that the Terps could stop the
Deacons that many times close
to the goal. Each time the
crowd figured this was it, but
the Terps would come up with
one defensive star after another,
and then excel as a unit. Mary
land would get out of that jam,
and then tumble itself right
back into another. You had to
pinch yourself to believe it, but
when it was over that big fat
zero still was beside the Deacons'
name on the scoreboard.
1t wasn't the first team or the
second team performing the
heroics for the Terps. It was a
combination. as Coach Tommy
Mont subbed by individuals and
pairs, patching a tired spot, ana
each time coming up with the
right man.
Barnes Run Starts Drive
Barnes 52-yard gallop down
the sidelines on which Bob Ru-
|sevlyan made a nice play by
jockeying Barnes until help
came, touched off the threats.
That put the ball on the Mary
land %, and Wake Forest went
to the seven despite a 15-yard
penalty, with Barnes and Airing
tons Dane Hillenbrand carrying.
John Fritsch, the Terps' quar-
terback on the touchdown drive,
kicked out of trouble at this
point. late in the fourth period,
but Wake Forest came knocking
again. Barnes. the workhorse,
Dick Daniels and Jim Dalrymple
gave the Deacons a first down
on the Maryland IL.
1t was Dalrymple for three.
Barnes for three. Barnes three
more. and then the Deacons
needed yard for a first down
on the two, or three yards for
touchdown.
Missed PitchOut Saves Terps
But here Quarterback Charley
Carpenter decided to cross UP
the Terps. He wouldn't 60 for
the yard. he'd pitch out wide.
He did. and nine yards back of
the line of scrimmage Dalrym-
pie recovered the ball. That was
fourth down, and the Terps had
the ball.
Tom Selep, who at times ran
the ball in his spring practice
form, made nine yards to take
the Terps out Of trouble momen-
ltarily. But Fritsch and Kersh-
