contestants. The rest will be

the coach Saio. 1--WE never seen
"a player so ready"
This probably will be the low
est scoring game Of the day.
Coaches Jim Tatum and Bud
Wilkinson have so much respect
for each other that they could
play what Tatum refers TO as
"scary football"
Both coaches seem to think il
will be a three-touchdown ball
game, meaning the one that
scores two will win. Nobody has
scored more than two against
Maryland in 81 games, and Okla :
homa hasn't been held to one
touchdown since 1t played Mary
land here two years ago.
That 1854 Orange Bowl CLASH
wasn't much of a game. Mary
land didn't have Quarterback
Bernie Faloney and thus didn't
have much offense. After driv-
ing inside the 5-yard line three
times in the first half. the Terps
couldn't get that close again and
never did score.
Oklahoma lost Its quarterback
Gene CaIame, near the end OF
the half and spent the rest of
the game protecting q 7-point
lead.
Sooners' Figures Impressive
Today Oklahoma wins the pre-
game offensive statistics by q
wide margin. The Sooners have
All-American Tommy Mcdonald
in the backfield, and like Mary
lands Ed Vereb, he scored is
touchdowns. The Terps have an
All American on the line, Center
Bob Pellegrini, but the Sooners
have a second-team man in
Guard 30 Bolinger.
Oklahoma will show speed in
getting plays of. Many times
this season the Sooners have
been up off the ground. into the
huddle, out OF it. and had q
play in motion before the OPP
ponents have had their men in
position.
But Oklahoma hasn't met up
with Pellegrini. Sandusky, Jack
Davis, nor the experienced Mary
land ends who are being counted
on to stop the Sooners' wide
plays.
Maryland hasn't been beaten
since Frank Tamburello took
over at quarterback. 1ambo.
whose pretty bride accompanied
him here, wants to be an ALL
American and this. the first
game of his senior year, could be
"a tremendous step.
Pellegrini and Vereb leave
here tonight for Mobile. where
they play in the Senior Bowl
Saturday, and then fly to Wash
ington to receive their honors
from the Touchdown Club.
