With both the crowd and the players apparently last year's year's 74-13 humiliation, the Tigers came out for the second half with a new light in their eyes and a new fierceness to their play. i The Terps had breezed, to a touchdown the first time they had the ball, with Ed Vereb driv- ing 14 yards for the score.

Bob Laugherty kicked the extra point which later stood as the mar- gin of victory, after only 8:40. of the first quarter and the fang' enthusiasm sagged I TIGERS TAKE OVER A blocked punt set up the Terp's, second touchdown. but over-cautious football made the situation possible. The Tigers apparently feared to gamble in a fourth-down, foot-to-go situation on their own 40, and the Monday morning quarterbacks got food for thought when Bill Walker blocked the kick and Russell Dennis the ball on the Mizzou 36. Frank Tamburello.

passed to Walker for the touchdown in a play that covered 22 yards at 2:36 after the second period began. Fromjhat point on. the Terps played second fiddle. Maryland apparently knew the way the tide was turning or else became so confident it felt a practice session was in order, because 'Bill Komto tried a 31- yard field goal that fell far short. JIM TAKES CHARGE Jerry Curtright, son of former White Sox outfielder Guy Curt-right, was the best spokesman in support of the Mizzou pass defense, setting up the first score with an interception and picking off another Tamburello aerial.

He sped down the sidelines from the Maryland 45 to the 25, and Jimmy Hunter took care of the rest. The converted halfback' used the option play to make a first down on the five, and threw a running pass to Sonny Stringer for the touchdown. Chuck Mehrer missed the conversion try. 1 Hunter then sparked a 69-yard drive for the second, touchdown, which came with just 712t minutes left tp play. The drive started on the Mizzou 31 and took 13 plays, with the quarterback hitting Hank )3(irnine with two key passes.
