Better Than Last Yeor, but Poor Against Georgia Louisiana State won seven games and tied one last year on an 11-game schedule, yet Gaynell Tinsley. the Tigers first alumnus coach, still terms his teams 27-O defeat by Maryland as its best technical performance of the season. The Tigers play Maryland Saturday in the Terps’ home coming game. Tinsley backed up his opinions on the 1851 Terps by picking them to beat Tennessee by three touch downs in the Sugar Bowl. The margin was two. Tinsley said his team made few mistakes against the Terps, but simply was overpowered. A keep play by Maryland’s Jack Scarbath broke the game open midway in the second period after 2O-odd minutes of the toughest opposition encountered by the Terps all season.
