The Cavalier daily :: Thursday, November 19, 1970 :: University of Virginia Library

The long traditional rivalry
between the Universities of
Virginia and Maryland will
resume with one of its most
even, if not one of its more
inspiring, match-ups on
Saturday in Scott Stadium.

Virginia will put its anemic
0-5 ACC mark on the line,
while the Terps enter the
action carrying an overall
record of one win and seven
defeats. Both teams, certainly
the Cavaliers in their
non-conference action, have
shown occasional signs of life but,
on the whole, have to be rated a
rather lackluster bill of fare.

The team with the momentum
going into the contest is Virginia.
The Wahoos need only to win this,
their final game, to finish 6-5
overall and claim a winning season.
Ten years from now people will
perhaps fail to remember that our
wins came at the expense of such
turf titans as VMI, Colgate, Army,
Tech, and William & Mary.

As Defensive Coach Don
Lawrence remarked, however, the
Wahoos "want a winner" this year.
He asserted that a "total team
effort" would be required to down
the Terrapins and, showing more
desire than grammar, put the
Maryland game in the category of
those "which we want real bad."

For Maryland this year has been
another in their continuing series of
catastrophics. Terp Coach Roy
Lester muses openly to the press
about resigning and only an upset
win over South Carolina mars what
is otherwise an unblemished record
of Terrapin gridiron terpitudo.

In the Terps' defense it should
be noted that they did not share
the benefit of Virginia's
powderpuff non-conference
schedule. Coach Lester's best
players appear at this moment to be
Art Seymore, soph running star,
Tony Greene, cornerback and
co-captain, and Guy Rodgers, a
defensive end.

A victory in this game could
salve a lot of wounds for the
Cavaliers. A loss would cast a
shadow on the entire season. A
close game is forecast.
