Yards penalzed - 80 1S
a dramatic 1911 victory over
South Carolina and sent
Homecoming throng of $4,000
pouring out of the stands with
uncontrolled Joy.
The blond senior from Oak
lyn, N. j., was the difference
in four Terrapin triumphs
year ago and this time his foot
stamped out Gamecock upset
hopes that burned brightly for
almost the entire second half.
Drive Starts on 10
The Gamecocks, behind 100
at one point, used two inter-
ceptionS as the Springboard
to an lilo lead and then
resolutely beat back every
Maryland comeback bid but
the last.
, With SAB left, the Terps
took over on their 18-yard line
and beat both the clock and
the Gamecocks with an excit-
ing drive pegged to the passes
of Dick Sinner and the inside
ground thrusts of churning
Lenny Chiaverini.
Sinner, the Nations No. /
passer, completed II of 26 at
tempts in another brilliant dis
play, but it was an interference
f penalty on the Gamecock 10
that gave the Terps the victory
d wedge they needed.
9 Faced with a third-down-
X and-8-yards-to-go situation on
II the Gamecock % with ITO left,
Sinner passed over the middle
e to Joe Mona, but Gamecock
d ace Billy Gambrell barreled
o into Mona a bit too soon and
= flags fluttered from three Of
S ficialS who all saw the play the
same way. 1t was only South
Cardinals second penalty of
the game, the other coming
for an out-of- f-bounds kickoff.
If the flags were a welcome
sight to Terp Coach Tom Nu-
gent, that was only the begin
ming. Chiaverini banged into
the middle twice to put the
ball in front of the uprights
and then, without a huddle, the
Terps lined up in field-goal for
nation and Hannigan provided
the most wonderful sight with
his end-over-end fielder that
went squarely between the up
rights.
The victory, the Terps' fifth
in six games, kept them atop
the Atlantic Coast Conference
with a perfect 40 slate and
dropped the luckless Game
cocks record to 1-4-l.
Records Fall by Wayside
Amid all the excitement, the
Terps smashed and tied bevy
,; of school records and made the
day a most enjoyable one for
their hackers who filled Byrd
Stadium for the second time
in two games this season.
The Terps had all the Statis-
tical advantages, outgaining
South Carolina, 348 to 201 in
total yardage, but three inter-
ceptions almost cost them the
game.
Chiaverini, a workhorse with
33 carries, rushed for ll9 yards
and took over the ACC rushing
leadership from Gambrell, who
was stopped with a paltry Al.
Maryland started off as if it
was going to be making the
breaks and capitalizing on them,
which is eventually how it ended
at that. South Carolina marched
50 yards with the opening kick
off. fumbled on Maryland's 20
and Pete Brody, the barefoot
kicker, promptly doomed a ST.
yard punt deep into Gamecock
territory.
Two plays later, the Came
cocks fumbled again. Mike
Funk recovered. and Maryland
was in business on the South
Carolina Is. This time the
Terps. running into stiff re-
siStance. had to settle for the
first of Hannigan's field goals,
a 31-yarder, for a 80 lead
with 1928 gone.
Drive Moves 73 Yards
Early in the second quarter,
the Terps launched a 73-yard
drive to make It 100 and the
crowd settled back expecting
something of breather. Sinner
was the key to the long foray,
twice using SneakS for key first
downs and twice firing passes
to Tom Browr for 26 and IL
yards that pushed the ball deep
into Gamecock territory.
The touchdown came from
yards out with Sinner 60
ing to his right and whipping
: a rifle shot between the arms Of
4 linebacker Dick Lomas to
Brown who was a step inside
u the end zone Hannigan added
n the conversion.
The Gamecocks. though.
