STATISTICS

gaudily dressed high school
bandsmen, watched the Terps
win by the same score for the
second straight week against a
second-division team from the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Deacons scored first, the
second time they had the ball,
setting it up with a 38-yard
pass. The Terps matched it with
Browns spectacular dash, also
in the first period. Hannigan's
field goal, from % yards out,
came early in the fourth period.
Wake Forest was stopped on
the Maryland 1-yard line in a
rousing goal-line stand by the
Terps in the second period. The
Deacons also drove to the Terps'
7-yard line in the fourth pc
riod, but Jim Davidson inter-
cepted a fourth-d down pass in
the end zone as Wake Forest
shot for a winning touchdown
instead of trying for the tieing
field goal. The Deacons came
back inside the 20, but lost the
ball on downs.
Liberty Bowl Represented
Maryland, with a To record,
figures to rate high among the
Gator Bowl eligihles. However,
it is only reasonable to assume
that the Terps must have
lost face with the Orange and
Sugar Bowl people after the
squeaky triumph. Only the
Liberty Bowl in Philadelphia
was represented at College
Park yesterday,
Wake Forest recovered four
Maryland fumbleS, intercepted
two passes, and had a slight
edge in total yardage. But ex-
cept for the DeaconS' touch
down in the early moments of
the first period, Maryland's
defense was tough when it
counted.
Maryland's only touchdown
was a spectacular production
following a punt by Bill Ruby.
The Deacons' punter, with a
16-mile breeze at his back,
booted a high one that was
good for 81 yards.
Brown fielded the ball on his
17-yard line and handed off
to Richie Novak as they criss-
crossed. Novak ran to his right,
stopped. and passed slightly
laterally to Brown, who was
standing on the far side Of the
field.
Brown headed up the side
lines, and at least three tacklers
had the angle on him in front
of the Wake Forest bench, but
he eluded them and had the
benefit of a block by Walter
Rock that eliminated the final
defender. Brown ran 83 yards
on the play.
The Terps' winning points
were scored by Hannigan with
two minutes gone in the final
quarter. The TerpS had first
down on the Wake Forest 8,
but made only three yards in
three tries.
Hannigan Boots Field Goal
Hannigan dropped back to
the Wake Forest 12-yard line
and booted his fourth field goal
of the season. This one covered
% yards. Hannigan also added
the point after the touchdown,
giving him a perfect record in
16 attempts.
Hannigan's field goal kick
barely cleared the crossbar, and
John himself was so uncertain
over the success of his kick
that he looked back at the ref
cree to see what the decision
would be.
1t was the third time this
season that Hannigan's field
goals have made the difference
against Clemson. North Caro-
lima State and Wake Forest. He
is co-holder of the conference
record of four field goals in
one season with Mickey Walker
of the Deacons, who barely
missed from the Maryland 80
In the opening minutes.
The DeaconS, first in rushing
offense but seventh in passing
in the ACC, were held to 20
yards rushing in the first half,
but had 1873 passing on six
competitions. In the second half
their halfbackS started moving
but they didn't complete a pass.
Alan White, who leads the ACC
in rushing offense, took a
pitchout for % yards late in
