Defense by Big, Mobile o (Editors Note This is the first of a series on the teams in the Bowl football games.) By BOB SERLING United Press Sports Writer College Park, Md. (U.R) - " - That old baseball phrase "good fid, no hit" best describes the Maryland team that faces mighty Oklahoma-"in the Orange Bowl Jan. 2 The 1955 Terrapins went un defeatel in a 10-game season largely because of their mam moth and mobile line. It is big, savage, hungry" and proud tak ing more delight in throwing somebody for a 20-yard loss than the average team takes in scor ing touchdowns. This was the line that held high-scoring .UCLA to 21 yards minus rushing; that led the na tion in defense against rushing with a per game average of only e 76.1 ards; that hung up four shutoutsO JX is Maryland's superb de fense that makes the Orange Bowl clash a literal "dream eame." .because Oklahoma will be throwing the nation's top rushing attack against that brawny Terrapin line. When Maryland Coach Jim Tatum was asked wSht would happen when the "irresistible force" met the "immovable object," he replied frkly: "I don't know. Oklahoma Gnever ran against a line a good as ours but we never saw an of fense as good, as theirs." Tatum s concrete defense in cludes All-America linebacker Bob Pellegrini,' tackle Mike Sandusky and two cra'ck guards Jack Davis iind Gene Dyson. Maryla.i's second-string line is. as big and almost as good as the first. The Terps' four ends Bill Walker, Russ Dennis, Tim Flynn and Jim Parsons are seniors with experience and savvy. Offensively, Maryland has been erratic all year. Quarter back- Frank Tamburrello is smart, fakes well ang is rated a fair passer. Halfback Ed Vereb, the Washington Redskins' num ber one dra pick, is a fast start er and the Terps' only consistent ground-gainer. The other Maryland backs are eithQ- too light or too slow to be mentioned in the same breath as Oklahoma's fleet greyhounds, and the Terrapins are particu larly weak at the fullback "slot where two converted sophomore halfbacks, Phil Perlo and Fred Hamillon, share the duties. Pass Attacks Rare Lacking the big, fast fullback that has marked Tatum's split-T attack for years, Maryland has ben firi5 mostly wide sweeps at' enemy, defense. Tatum's best O gainer all season was the "belly play" with the quarterback fak ing to the fullback and then hanig off to Vereb. Maryland's aerial game iS Oused mainly as an auxiliary O weapon, seldom employed in the Tefjis' own territory but an oc casional surprise threat. Tam burello likes to throw a long one when he has second down and short yardage to go for a first down a gimmick that has caught more than one opponent slumbering. Defense-minded Tatum natur ally won't reveal what plans he GLICK CONFERS . Fort Colins, Colo. (U.R) Gary Glick, the Colorado A&M Quarterback-halfback who was the Pittsburgh Steelers' bonus pick in the first phase of the Na tional Football League draft, leaves for Toronto today to talk over an offer to play Canadian football with the Argonauts. ' 1 has for slowing down Oklahoma's swift backs and it may be he won't change the defense pat terns that worked so well all year. Maryland's basic defense is a 5-4-2. Medford.
