ried of the field when he REIN
jured his bad knee as Maryland
reached the 10.
Clemson's flashy backfleld was
minus an important cog when
Fullback Rudy Hayes came up
with a bad back and was in
for only a play or two. The other
Tiger backs not only had trouble
with the Maryland line but also
slipped repeatedly on the muddy
strip down the center of the field
Joel Wells, who holds most OF
the ACC rushing records, totaled
SIS yards in 20 carries, but for
the most part he was held well
in check. Wells was used as a
Tanker more than in previous
games, but by the time he would
get the wide pitchout, a Mary
land tackler would be on him.
Wells broke loose on a sensa-
tional 56-yard run in the first
half, crossing the width of the
field, but all but IA yards of the
run were nullified by a clipping
penalty.
Lose on Lone Pass
Clemson, which had beaten
South Carolina and VPI in sue
cession without completing a
forward pass. actually went
backward in the aerial depart
ment. The Tigers completed one
OF six for a one-yard loss and
had two intercepted, by Rusev-
Ivan and Al Beardsley.
Maryland attempted seven
passes and completed only one
for II yards.
Rusevlyan, used virtually in
desperation by Coach Tommy
Mont, played all but one series
at quarterback and went all the
way defensively. Except for the
bad break on the crucial play
late IN the game, he might have
given the Terps the big one.
1t was a more spirited Mary
land team that took the field
yesterday. The Terps moved
from midfield to the Tigers 81
the first time they had the ball,
with Jim Halter. Bob Layman
and Fred Hamilton accumulate
ing the yardage before Halter
fumbled on the Clemson 81 and
Willie Smith recovered.
The callback of Wells run null
lifted the only other threat of
the first quarter. An offside pen
atty. one Of many against the
Terps. cost them a tumble re-
covery deep in Clemson terri
tory in the second period.
Clemson's flrst-half threat was
set up by series of Terp mis-
fortunes. Rusevlyan lost IA yards
trying to get a pass away, and
two penalties left the Terps
on their own 4, fourth down and
81.
Sandusky Prevents Score
Layman punted out nicely but
Horne took a chance and re-
turned to the Maryland %.
Horne made II and he and Wells
carried to the 2. where San.
dusky spoiled their dreams. The
late minutes Of the half found
both teams passing wildly, and
three interruptions resulted.
A penalty again cost Maryland
the ball in the third quarter
when Rusevlyan intercepted a
pass but the Terps were holding
on the play. Clemson controlled
the ball in this quarter and final
ly put together its scoring march.
Wells. Horne and Spooner
churned UP the AZ yards, with
Spooner's l4-yard dash with a
pltcilouC the biggest gain, and
Spooner scored.
1t almost was a tie score i'm
mediately when Hamilton took
the kickoff and got by everybody
but Bussey. The Clemson quar-
terhack caught Fred at midfield
Jim Coleman became partially
responsible for Maryland's touch
down when he caught a punt
on his own seven. instead Of per-
hitting the ball to go into the
end zone.
Davis Receivers on -Four
Wells missed connection on a
pitchout and Davis recovered on
the four. Layman lost three
