MIAMI NOV 16.-THERE ARE few victories in college
football sweeter than Friday night triumph Miami
and the Maryland scored here last night 1885, over
the Hurricanes may have been the sweetest of the four
they've won here
light break in training, full day in the ocean or
pool and relaxing under bright in 80degree temper
AZURE followed for the Terps and everybody happy
Bob Ward the Terps offensive line coach said Miami
was the best team Maryland has beaten the new
coaching staff, and he probably right While North
Carolina licked Miami earlier this year, and the Terps
beat the Tar Heels right you'd have say Miami
better ball club than North Carolina Miami is young
team and has improved each week, while the Tar Heels
seem to have gone back
ANDY GUSTAFsON the Miami coach and Lloyd
Jordan former Harvard coach, had lunch the Cadillac
Hotel today with Tommy Mont coach of the Terps Gutaf
son. cited couple of plays that might have put Miami
back in the ball game, but he wasn't hard loser
I'VE were out-gambled, outdefensed, and out-played"
Andy said 1.-THE big factor that the Maranders could
throw better than we thought they could"
Two of the major conversation points at the coaches
lunch table were Bob Rusevyans tandahalf flip to
HOWE Dare for touchdown, and Ralph Hawkins block of
Miamis lone extra-pont try.
In looking back at the Terps' fourth triumph WASH
ngon high school graduates made their foremost contr
button to Maryland football since the Terps first became
national power.
Rusevlyan, with Maryands best quarterbacking per-
Torrance in two years. Hawkins with his best ball game in
Terp uniform and Phil Perlo, extensively and as line
backer outstanding. Perlo went to Roosevelt and
Hawkins and Rusevyan to st. Johns.
WHAT CALL" Gustafson said with big wink Of
Rusevyans flip to Dare for the touchdown Mont still
shaking the chance that the play might not have
worked, agreed
The Miami coach thought Rusevyan's perfect fake to
the flback sucked his line in and Bob then raised I'm
vUho WoS oIopo IN Tho
OF Hawkins block of the extra-point try Gusafson
said he hadn't that since Chick Meehans New York
University teams used to it, and Jordan agreed Jordan
was the Harvard coach last year.
Nick Deccco and Wilbur Main were Hawkins partners
IN the blocked placement try Deccco took stance with
Main over him. AS the ball snapped Main grabbed
Deccco around the stomach and Hawkins eaped foot
on Mains hip pads the other foot his shoulder pads
and a balancing step Mains helmet He smothered
the ball
The three of them looked more like tumblng act.
DECICCO AND MAIN tried the same stunt last week
against Clemson without Hawkins Main missed Decccos
hip pads and his foot landed Ncks back Nick still has
spike marks to show for it.
Hawkins also saved touchdown when he was the last
man between Harry Deiderich and the goal and he was
among the leaders in punt returns.
Gusafson also praised the Terps' guards Rod Breed
love and Tom Gunderman They were awfuy good but
we expected them to be- the Miami coach added Another
OF his favorites was Ed Cooke
GUSTAFSON SAID MARYLAND had forced Miami to
change its defenses for the Florida and Pittsburgh games
the future opponents certainly would try exploit the
short pass Rusevyan used in competitions to Cooke Fred
Hamilton, Moose Turner and Ron Shaffer.
The Orange Bowl keeps record of tackles and assists
department where Bob PeLegrni set an Orange Bowl
record couple of years Main the leader last
night with nine tackles and three assists followed by Don
Heay six tackles and two assists and Hawkins and Breed
love, four and two.
Maryland has opportunity for fve-and-hve
season If the Terps beat Virginia nea week. That
would be considerable achievement for Mont's young
team in its second However Ward football
fectionht added bat easily could have been Tai 81
