Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-13
STATISTICS


storm drenched the huge sta
dunn, the Terps scored a con-
ISOLATION touchdown. 1t was their
first in 10 periods, and fourth
of the season. That made it 1876
in a ball game that wasn't that
close.
The statistics, like the score,
fiattered the Terps who lost for
the third time in one season
for the first time since 1913.
1t didn't seem that close be-
cause Maryland gained exactly
4 yards in the first period, 40
in the first half, and were not
in Miami territory until the late
moments of the third quarter.
At the latter point Miami was
leading 1870.
A Dark Picture
And it is somewhat depressing
to relate that the picture ahead
is not bright. Maryland lacks
an offense and apparently will
not have one with the players
in there now. Quarterback John
Fritsch just isn't a passer.
Miami, which rushed the Boston
College pasSer last week, dropped
back instead when Fritsch
passed.
Maryland has scored four
Itouchdowns. The first against
Syracuse was set up by a punt
return to the Syracuse 9-yard
/ line. The one that won the Wake
Forest game was on a 60-yard
drive by the first team. The
other two. the second against
Syracuse and the only one last
night were scored with Fred
Petrella quarterbacking the re-
serves, and both with less than
a minute to play.
And there's more bad news
for Maryland fans hereabouts
for the North Carolina game
next week and (shudder) Ten
ineSsee the week after. End Ed
Cooke diSlocated his left should
er in the second period and un-
doubtedly is out for the season.
Selep Hurts "GOOd" Knee
Fullback Tom Selep, about 80
per cent of Maryland's running
game, twisted his other knee,
not the one injured previously.
and may be through. He made
Al yards in the first half and
carried only couple times in the
second.
Fritsch twisted an ankle and
was limping badly after the
game. George Kolarac and
Ronald Laneve played little
against Miami, both apparently
with a touch of the grippe.
Coach Tommy Mont will have to
go deep into the Rinkey-Dinks
to pick up a full squad to take
to Chapel Hill next week.
And to add to the discourage
lment, Halfback Jack Healy and
Dickie Lewis, who is counted on
to relieve Fritsch at quarter
back, both tested their injured
ankles for couple of plays but
had to give up.
Mont felt Miami was as good
as Baylor and better than SYRIA
cuse and Wake Forest. He
thought Maryland played well
in spots and, in fact. that the
Terps played better football than
they did against their first two
opponents.
Again last night Maryland
had many outstanding moments
.defensively, but let the big play
get by The Terps spent sew
'eral minutes turning Miami back
near the goal line, even stopping
fourth-down buck by Don
Bosseler on the l-yard line.
Back Into Box
And after getting out of hat
box. and fumbling back INTO
another tFritsch dropping the
BALI they gained a reprieye
when Miami drew 90 yards in
penalties. But Sam Scarnecchia
hit John Bookman with 81
yard touch down pass over
Fritsch. 1t was the same pass
Syracuse and Baylor completed
Fritsch gives his all, but he's
about two steps too slow for that
defensive position.
The Terps' best defensive play
Ed Heuring. an end as OF last
week. and Fred Hamilton back
ing up the line. Hamilton agar
played about SIS minutes.
Coach Whitley Dovel's scout
ing report on the Hurricanes
proved accurate. Miami has
solid defensive team, can substi-
tute without being hurt too
much. And Bosseler, who Is
getting the All-American build
up, has long way TO go. as
Dovell said. In fact Maryland
has played against two better
