  “Or else tightened up,” it was offered. “Rmmm” Elias murmured. THERE is A GROWING RESPECT for Virginia in football these days and Elias feels his team is fully deserving of it. We’ve played very we’ll in our last three games,” Bill said. “Of course, the only game we won of those was with South Carolina” The Cavaliers surprised the Gamecocks, 1920. Maryland was beaten by South Carolima, 20–⁠10. That had to be your best game, right?” Elias was asked. NO” said the Virginia coach. Except for scoring, our best game was last Saturday against Navy. If we could have held on to two passes we’d have licked Navy. “Ill put it this way: Navy was our best defensive effort of the season and South Carolina was our best offensive game. Some day hope we put our two best efforts together, like on Saturday” The impression is that Virginia isn’t precisely overawed by Maryland. One of Elias assistants, Ralph Humphries, has been scouting the Terrapins for the last port: Maryland blows hot and cold IN THE ATLANTIC Coast Conference the TerpS merely are 80 team. They confound fellow-ACC members for having beaten such as Syracuse and Penn State and yet showing no great skill against their own people. They barely edged Clemson, 24–⁠21, on a field goal in the final eight sec ondS. They nosed out Wake Forest and North Carolina State, a pair of sub-par teams by identical scores of 10–⁠7 In addition to bowling to South Carolina “a six time loser they were beaten by North Carolina IA four time loser. Having accepted the terms as outlined by the Gator Bowlers namely finish with an 81 record or elSe), it is presumed that Maryland has burned it’s bridges. If the Terps are upset by Virginia, what major bowl would want EN-? They would be rejects. Of course, more than one team has lost prior to playing in a bowl. It happened right in our town. Georgetown was signed in 1949 by the Sun Bowl, whose promoters took a seasons end victory over George Washington for granted and did not stipulate specific record. CIV won, 28–⁠7. Georgetown still went to the Sun Bowl which was not one of the all-time classics and wound up Texas Western, 80; GU 20.
