in what Coach Marvin Bass
said was unqnestionably their
best performa1ce of the season.
They completely dominated
the rushing game, were fired
up higher than a jet bomber.
and In the third period humili-
ated the Terps by holding them
without q first down.
Maryland, hopeful Of the
Atlantic Coast Conference title,
national ranking and a bowl
bid. saw the hopes for all three
blasted by its second defeat Of
the season by a lightly regard Il
team from the Carolinss The
Terps, whose ctH"~ ;;eIeat was
by North Carolina. have won
four.
Gambrell Scores Twice
South Carolina. saddled with
two straight shutouts by Loui-
siana State and the Tar Heels.
scored on a l2-yard draw play
by Billy Gambrell in the first
quarter and on short passes by
Quarterback Jim Costen to
Gambrell and John Caskey in
the second half.
Maryland's only touchdown.
which gave it a short-lived lead
in the second quarter. was a
running pass from Dick Sinner
to Gary Collins for nine yards.
John Hannigan accounted for
the other four points on a
25-yard field goal in the first
quarter and the extra point
after the touchdown.
South Carolina, unable to put
together q sustained touchdown
drive in five games. set UP its
first touchdown on a 49-yard
run on an option play by Costeng
and went SO yards in 13 plays
for its second score. In the
latter drive the first and last
plays were passes and the IL in
between were cracks at the
line.
Interceptions Halt TeFps
4 The last three times the
ETerpS had the ball they threw
1t away on interruptions. Ed
Holler, q backfield defensive
specialist for the Gamecocks,
played no favorites. He inter-
cepted a pass by Richie Novak,
and q few minutes later inter-
cepted one by Sinner and re-
turned it 1S yards to the Mary
land seven, setting up the final
touchdown.
The crowd of 10000 attend
ing the Bands. Day and Boy
Scout Day game, chanted off
the final seconds and then sew
'eral thousand swarmed onto
the field as the players lifted
Bass and Clyde Biggers, the
defensive coach, onto their
shoulders and carried them to
Tom Nugent, the Maryland
coach, for the congratulations.
Big Yardage Lead
Costen and Fullback Dick
Day, who carried 10 times this
sweltering afternoon, helped the
Gamecocks to 242-to-70-yard
edge in rushing yardage. Mary
land threw, three passes to
South Carolina's one, complet-
ing 16 of 50. but two of the
Gamecocks' five competitions
were for touchdowns.
Collins. running about three
quarter speed because of a
touch of virus, recovered the
only tumble lost by the Came
cocks, who in their first five
games coughed up the ball for
most of the opposition's scoring
opportunities.
Collins caught three passes.
one for a touchdown, while
Ernie Arizzi also caught three
and Tommy Brown four. COL
Inns handled all of the Mary
land punting.
It is conceivable that Mary
land lost the game in the ear
ly going on a move from the
bench after Sinners second
team had moved the ball to
the Gamecock's 7-yard line.
The yardage eaters were
Browns 25-yard kickoff return,
a l3-yard pass from Sinner to
Brown, and a 23-yard pass
from Sinner. to Sukeena.
NOvak's Passes Fail
With first down on the South
Carolina seven, Coach Nugent
jerked the second team and in
serted the first. On Novak's
first play he ran to the right,
as did Collins, who was beg
ging for the ball in the end
zone. But Novak apparently
didn't see him and lost two
yards without throwing.
Novak then overthrew two
passes. and Maryland settled
for Hannigan's field goal.
That made it 6-3 in favor
