watching to see how football team reacts in this homecoming game against Tennessee to a tempest that blew around Coach Bob Woodruff this week Woodruff came out of me storm in good shape firmly backed by the head of the alumni association and by many sports editors over the state after an undercurrent of criticism burst into the open through a sports column written in Georgia If there was a beginning of a movement to buy up the last year of Woodruffs $17000 a year contract as Sports Editor Johnny Hendrix of the Augusta Chronicle wrote it was not in the open Fred Kent chairman of the hoard of control said such an action had never been considered formally or informally although many persons had suggested a coaching change to him Woodruff who called claims vicious rumors in one of his strongest statements of six years at Florida said he didn't want his players to feel they had to win any game to save his job Nevertheless most Florida fans are expecting the combination of the ruckus the homecoming Incentive and the second-half comeback victory over Georgia last week to spur the Gators to their peak performance There Is a feeling this team has never and has fallen short of Its potential with four victories in seven games The Gators avenged last year's losses to Lonsiana State and Georgia but in turn lost to three Southeastern Conference powers they whipped last year Georgia Tech Auburn and Kentucky Those three defeats knocked Florida out of the SEC championship race Tennessee still has an outside chance at the title with one victory one loss and one tie The tie last week with Georgia Tech gained the Vols much increased respect and an even chance to beat Florida Until then this sophomore-packed team was looked upon as too green to challenge long distance running attack powered by Jackie Simpson and Jim Rountree Tailback Johnny Majors however has made Tennessee a feared foe He is seventh in the nation in total offense and 11th in punting a real threat

confidence will be ready for this game invaders from Maryland Justj how this be done they do not bother to explain For week3 Coach Frank Howard of Clemson has made no secret of belief his Tigers are capable of licking a team which has held the local eleven scoreless In their three previews games as Atlantic Coast conference rivals The Tigers do not have the advantage of pulling a surprise attack because the Terps gunning for triple glory have been alerted to expect the battle of their lives If the Terps win they'll (1) move a step closer towards being chosen to represent the ACC against Oklahoma of the Big Seven before 76300 fans at the Orange Bowl Jan 2 (2) be assured of a perfect conference record and (3) need only a concluding victory over George Washington for a perfect season Beaten only by Rice the Tigers are far from being awed and re call that last year they outgained the Terps and in fact did everything but beat 'em Clemson has three fourths of the backfield which faced Maryland last season and with six decisive victories to their own credit are not suffering from an inferiority complex Don King with the wisdom of a senior Is at quarterback for Clemson Fullback Bill O'Dell has two games under his belt against the Terps and Joe Pagliel started in the 1932 game and played part of last year Clemson advocates remind you that in 1954 In the second half the Tigers treated Maryland so rudely the Terps had a minus two yards in total offense But while the Clemson players have been firing themselves up for this game in a bold effort to make Coach Howard's prophecy of victory come true the Terps have not been idling their time away This appears to be one of Jilh Tatum's better Maryland elevens and Tatum-coached teams us-' ually are at their best when th chips are down The Terps will shoot to win and by the largest possible margin in an effort to regain top billing in the polls Villanova Nipped 6-0 By Detroit DETROIT The University of Detroit climbing over the 500 mark for the first time this season defeated Villanova 6-0 Friday night on a 22-yard touchdown pass play from quarter back Jim Lobkovich to halfback Billy Russell early in the third quarter The victory gave the Titans a 4-3-1 record The loss was the seventh against a single triumph for Villanova The winning touchdown was set up by a partially blocked pant Left tackle Dick Quadri of Detroit deflected Rick boot and It rolled only seven yards giving the Titans the ball on the Villanova 28 On the second play Lobkovich a senior from New Boston Mich rolled out to his left and hit the fleet Russell with a perfect pass on the two Russell had sneaked behind two Villanova defenders Sapienza and John Ferruolo anrj scored unmolested It was Russell's sev enth touchdown of the season Jim conversion try flew wide but the Titans 10-point favorites need it Past Performances Count Too SINCE THE ACC came into existence the Terps have scored three consecutive shutouts against the Tigers True Clemson "was outclassed only once in losing the opener of the series in 1952 28 to 0 Quarterback Jack Scarbath set the pace in that game In 1953 the Terps xvere held to a 21-0 margin and last year they had to settle for a 16-0 triumph Five long plays each netting more than 55 yards and a field goal produced the last two victories This has created the idea that the Terps go for against the
