Defense by Big, Mobile

(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.

is a 5-4-2.

Butane Gas Blast
At Eureka Hurts 20
Eureka, - Calif. (U.R) Twenty
persons were injured yesterday
when a butane storage tank ex
ploded at the Hoopa Indian res
ervation, leveling several build
ings and shattering windows in
a quarter-mile radius.
The reservation is located in
a remote mountain area about
6C miles northeast of here and
news of the blast was delayed
several hours because of poor
communications to the area.
The injured, most of whom
suffered burns and cuts from
flying glass and timber, were
taken to the Hoopa hospital for
treatment. Damage from the ex
plosion was estimated at
$2 00,000.
The explosion occurred at
about 9:20 a.m. at the Allen
butane distributing plant. Com
pany officials said a leak appar
ently developed in a butane tank
line and the escaping fumes
were ignited by the pilot light
in a water heater in a building
next door.

Olson Appears
Victor in Suit
Over Contract
San Francisco (U.R) Carl
(Bobo) Olson, dethroned last
week as middleweight boxing
champion, today appeared to
have won his "money fight" in
federal court against a $500,000
damage suit.
At the end of the opening
round yesterday Federal Judge
Louis E. Goodman indicated
strongly that he would vote for
Olson and Manager' Sid Flah
erty, sued for a half million by
Hawaiian dairyman Herbert
Campos.
Campos, formerly the manag
er of Olson when he fought in
the Hawaiian Islands, has ask
ed $250,000 damages from the
boxer for breach of contract and
the some amount from Flaherty
for inducing Olson to breach the
pact.
Sides Finish Presentation
Both sides finished present
ing their cases yesterday and
the judge said:
"My own view of the matter
at this moment is there was no
breach of contract and Olson
could fight for anyone until
Campus made specific demands
on him."
He gave Campos 20 days to
present a supplemental brief,
another 20 days for Olson and
Flaherty to answer and then 10
days for the plaintiff to answer
additional testimony making
50 days before he would take
the case under submission.

Whittier Poets 68-66
Ashland Southern Oregon
college will play the independ

Medford Friday night at Me
morial Court in Ashland.
Ashland Dale Bates sank
two free shots with nine seconds
left to play last night to give
Southern Oregon college a 68
to 66 nod over the traveling
Whittier college basketball con
tingent. The see-saw struggle had Whit
tier leading at halftime, South
ern Oregon then pushing ahead
and the Poets then tying up the
scuffle with less than two min
utes to play.
Whittier lead was 38 to 31 at
the midway pause. The Raiders
then whacked the spread to 49
to 49 and with eight minutes
played Lloyd Hoffine's two gift
shots made it 50 to 49 for the
home team.
Bates Fouled
Southern Oregon pushed to
55 o 49 bulge after 11 minutes
of the half had elapsed. Whittier
turned effect at ball stealing
and knotted the game at 66-all.
The Ashlanders then held on to
the ball until the waning sec
onds when Bates drove for a
shot. He was fouled by Stan
Hubert and made both free
heaves to decide the issue.
The veteran California team
cracked the SOC zone in the
early portion of the tussle but
the Raiders toughened as the
game progressed and the Ash
land five had to play good ball
to win.
Lloyd Hoffine ran up 22 points
for SOC and Hubert scored 16
for the Poets.
