Maryland's football team ha:
prepared for varied offense:
in previous invasions Of Texas
but for the first time the Terps
expect to meet a ball-control
team when they open in Dallas
Saturday night.
Coach Tom Nugent said that
his guess is that Southern
Methodist will use a tight T.
formation and run the bali at
Maryland, stressing control,

to get a lead, then I imagine
they will 60 to their spread, !"
Nugent said. but not until

In previous meetings with
Southwest Conference teams
Baylor, Texas AIM and Texas,
Maryland has been on the look
out for more passing and speed.
Kickoff at 10 pm.
The Terps are 3-to-5-point
fayorites to open with a victory
Saturday night in the Cotton
Bowl. Game time Is 10 O'Clock,
Washington time.
Coach Bill Meek, a member
of Jim Tatum'S first coaching
staff at Maryland and now in
his fifth year as coach Of the
Mustangs, will start mostly let

the other nine games.

outstanding in recent scrim-
images and will see early action.

Drills Cut Short
Jerry Thome, another sopho-
more, has moved into the quar-
terback picture although Harold
Morgan. a senior who was
ineligible last year is expected
to start against Maryland.
Maryland's practice was cut
short by rain yesterday. The
TerpS will practice here tonight
and get q second workout under
lights tomorrow night in the
Cotton Bowl.
The travelling squad Of IL

THE INDOMITABLE JOHN

The lNDOMITAbLE JOHN
SCOTT: CITIZEN OF
LONG ISLAND. BY Lillian
T. Mowrer. (Farrar. Straus
and Cudahy; $500
Mrs. Mowrer has set out
to renovate the reputation
of John Scott who, in this
country. played a part in
ending the Dutch rule in
Manhattan. She has. taken
great pains in her task, dig
ging into the records in
England. France. Holland
and in this country. and has
set Alright a great many
misstatements by historians
on Scott.
For one thing, Scott was
not courtmartialed for cow
ardice in the West Indies
and dismissed from King
Charles service. For another
and more important - he
was not the villain depicted
in the papers Of Samuel
Pepys, the diarist, who fig-
ures here in his role as a
British Admiralty official.
Rose Above Scruple
His American career ended
early. He was later in the
employ Of the Dutch and
the French, not an usual
matter in those days. He had
maps-they figure large in
the book-and he feared his
maps of the Low Countries
in the hands of the French,
would be a threat to his
Dutch friends. But Scott
rose above scruple and ne
gotiated to sell them.
The French would not
make a large enough sure
payment, and the deal fell
through. Frustrated, Scott,
always on the make. talked
Of gaining a fortune by
counterfeiting.

Some Literary BurIesque

Almost anything which can

This book is no exception.
Mr.. Rogers, who teaches
American literature at the
University of Wisconsin, is
careful in his definition Of
burlesque. refusing to accept
some general concepts of the
word. Although Mark Twain's
critics have assumed that
literary burlesque necessarily
springs from a critical at

practitioners the term zap

aggeration Of the conven-

literary type or a particular

It is interesting to learn
that Of all the novels written
before 1885, "Huckleberry
Finn" gave Mark Twain the
most trouble, having been
seven years and two months
in the making. During the
period he did other work,

THE INSIDERS: Rejection
and Rediscovery Of Man In
the Arts Of Our Time. BY
Selden Rodman. Nouisiana
State University Press;
$685.
This is q controversial book
about painting. The reader
will have the pleasure Of
taking sides for or against
Mr.. Rodmar1's thesis. He
conceives Of the insiders as
those who can represent an
objective world. He holds
that great painters In the
past have done this and that
theS have had q whole view
Of life.
Against the insiders are
artists who are limited to
q subjective representation.
They produce Journalism"
and in our time prevail
against representation with
abstract expressionism. Mr..
Rodman holds that this
makes for a partial view.
This states his thesis
bluntly. He allows variants
Of style and intention between
the two extremes. The book
has II illustrations which
add to its fascination.
On page "a. Mr.. Rodman
lists ~ insiders. Among these
are Giotto, Michelangelo,
Rembrandt. Rouault, Orezco,
Shahn and Wyeth. His ex-
amples from q comparable
list Of mot insiders" include
Tiepolo, Ingres, Matisse.

It was during an uproar over

Fantastic DOssier

for most of Scott's i'll fame.

Vangel is 20. He has been
through college and law
school and worked a year for
Q fine law Arm. The senior

. very promising future.
Vangel Is married to "a
bright college girl" named
Felice.
We are told at the begin
ming Of Mr.. Lohsenz's novel:
''vangel Grimm was a mass
produced member Of the
middle middle class. The
first % years Of his life were
stamped. cut out and pat,
termed like a piece Of

Suicide Pact
And the realization Of this
apparently is too much for
Vangel. Strolling through
Central Park one day, he
makes Q suicide pact with
himself. Hell give himself
one year and unless. at the
end Of that time, he finds
some reason to continue liv-
ing, he'll end his life.
But why? Merely because

most Of them? We never
learn just what turmoil Of
mental CESSATION caused him
to decide there was no rea-
son to continue living. Some
writer's Il merely mention
Dostoeysky) and would have
delved until they came up
with the answer.
But we skip to Madrid,
where Vangel has decided
to put In his last year, sans
wife. sans all encumhrances.
And we are concerned In
this story only with his
Spanish adventures. And
don't take the suicide promise
too seriously.
Anti-Falangist
At the university vangel
meets O strange character
named Alfonso. Alfonso is an
idealist. not quite sane; dedi-
Gated to ending the ,Falangist
regime and bringing about
the brotherhood Of man.
Alfonso makes speeches. He
is thrown down an embank-
ment on the campus for in
cendiary utterances. But he
brushes aside such annoy
ances: they are to be ex-
pected. Even when two
strangers beat and rob him

and sergeant major, his
faithful retainer Telluriano
-maneuyers for the new
civil war sure to come.
Thus Alfonso Is q sort Of
modern Don Quixote COM
bined with Candide.
He is a highly symbolic
character. So is his restless
and promiscuous sister,
Satry, with whom vangel
carries on a violent love
affair.
There are other charac-
ters, of course, but those are
the most important.
Symbolic Persons
The characters, even Van
gel. are symbols Of one thing
or another. They never
exist as ordinary human
beings.
Not that the novel lacks
interest. There are colorful
and outrageously improbable
scenes, and some sequences
are extremely funny. The
dialogue with which the
author develops his story
line is virtually interminable.
The atmosphere Of Madrid
comes through quite well.
In the end, after tragedy
has overtaken Alfonso and his
sister. something Of Alonso's
crazy. impractical idealsm is
transferred to Vangel, and
he sets out to conquer the
world.
Unlikely Pageants
There is no doubt of the
young authors talent. But
his first novel is a mixed-up,
disorderly series of unlikely
pageants. supposed to mean
this or that. Vangel is o
sort of existential version of
an early Hemingway hero.
OF the three literary flg-
ures who judged the Harper
novel contest, two-John K.
Hutchens, New York Herald
Tribune critic. and Jean
