The Moab ranked it sixth in the Nation before last night and after the sac yards the Terps gained in beating the Hurricanes, 27–13, Mary lan6 probably will be in the first five. Line Coach George Barclay of Maryland said II his team had stuck to the ground 1t would have shut out the Hurricanes. Pass. intercept tons led to both Miami touchdowns, the first that gave the home team a rs lead in the second quarter and the second that was the final score Of the game. The $500 fans who turned out in perfect weather watched Maryland march In relentless fashion So, SO, 70 and Sc yards for its touchdowns. Vic Turyn was the engineer as q ball carrier and excelled in pitchouts to Jim Larue, Harry Bonk, John Idhk and Hubble Werner, each OF whom bettered 10 yards in rushing. Turyn sent Larue 50 yards for the first touchdown, Bonk over twice from inside the and once when Maryland was stalled with fourth down and four yards to 60 Vic crossed up the tightly punched Miami line with O touchdown pitch to Ted Betz. It was one of 10 COM pletions in II by Turyn in one of his finest al-around performances. Maryland Defense Stalwart. Harding, the Miami coach until Andy Gustafson took over this year, said Turyn was the finest back he has seen this season. Most T-fornation quarterbacks just hand of and get out Of the way” Harding said, but Turyn is q ball-carrier as well. He’s @ good passer; maybe not as dangerous as Georgia. Johnny Rausch, but he’s good” Harding said Maryland had the best deferse he has seen this year and the Terps gave Miami more trouble extensively than Georgia, that ran up a. points. Although he is not member of the Orange Bowl Committee, Harding said that If Maryland beats North Carolina 1t certainly will be given thorough consideration for an Orange Bowl bid Miami couldn’t get an inch through the Maryland line and was forced to run outside for most Of its 10 yards gained rushing. Guard Bob Ward was the standout In the Maryland line every minute he was in there. Barclay. speaking for Coach Jim Tatum, who rushed to the airport for a plane to Knoxville, where he wants to scout North Carolina against Tennessee today, wasn’t criticizing Turyn, but laughed when he said, vic likes to throw that ball so much he got us in trouble by having two passes intercepted wher. 1t looked as if we could have scored Wy SClIhlIlS 10 Lie ground. interruptions Aid Miami. Harry Ghaul, one of the Nations top kickers for his four years with the Hurricanes, ret up their first score when he numbered So yards with an intercepted pass to the Maryland I. Jack Del Bello sneaked over for the score. The second Miami touchdown was by Elmer Smith on a 36-yard weave after GO ing back to pass, but finding his receivers covered.

EXTRA POINTS: Regardless of its record. there is no chance that Georgia Tech will be here for the Orange Bowl game because of previous disagreements between the Engineers and the Orange Bowl Committee. +.

Miami was dressed in bright orange pants and brilliant green shirts with white numbers. The Hurricanes are being doomed for membership In the Southeastern Conference, but acceptance may be few years on because except for football they are geographically in an out Of the way spot. Mary land Captain Gene Kinney was presented with . Hurricane blanket by Miami coed before the game. Miami tacklers were hitting high and hard, trying to jar the ball loose from Maryland ball carriers. +. One scout from Vanderbilt and two each from North Carolina and South Carolina were in the stands to watch Maryland. Halftimc shows at Miami games are major vaudeville productions.
