Parkhill, U-Hall Snakepit Await Lefty's Mob
By JOHN MARKON
The Deacs did nal 'em
A last-second shot
Could not avail 'em
Ranked real high
But fallin' fast.
They did beat Duke
On Saturday last
But their U Hall game
Will be a gas
What with Elmore
On the sidelines
In a cast.
From "American Pie-The
Day That Lefty Died."
By J. Markon & D. McLean
Maryland center Lenny
Elmore will, indeed, be resting
his broken foot in a plaster
wrap tomorrow night when
Maryland, fresh off a 62-60
defeat at the hands of Wake
Forest Wednesday night,
invade University Hall for an 8
p.m. encounter with the
Cavallers.
Elmore, whose dominating
inside play and deadly outside
shooting provided the Terps
with their margin of victory in
Maryland's 93-74 win over the
Cavs in Cole Field House, will
be sorely missed by Coach
Lefty Driesell and his crew,
now 19-5 and 6-5 in the ACC.
Moving into the pivot for
Maryland will be 6-9
sophomore Tom Roy, a rather
effective rebounder who's also
a threat to foul out in the
first six minutes of any game.
Junior forward Tom
McMillen, the ACC's most
celebrated "Mama's Boy" will
find that he's under more
pressure than ever to score
down the stretch this year.
Maryland's other forward
will be either 6-6 Darrel
Brown, a tank of a young man
who enjoys playing defense, or
6-8 Jim "Bozo" O'Brien, an
enigmatic senior averaging 17
points who can look like Rick
Barry one night and a
substitute on an IM team the
next.
Terrapin guards will be
playmaker John Lucas, a 6-2
freshman scoring 12.6 points
Terp John Lucas
position, and Bobby Bodell, a
6-4 defensive specialist who
will draw coverage on the Cavs'
Barry Parkhill.
Losing to Wake Forest put
a king-sized damper on a
Maryland season already
considerably messed-up by the
Elmore injury. The Terps are
now almost doomed to third in
the ACC, needing a win over
the Cavs and a Duke win over
North Carolina to tie the 7-4
Tar Heels for second.
Virginia's present 4-7 mark
puts the Cavs in a virtual
three-way tie with Duke and
Clemson for fourth. A Cavalier
win and a Duke loss would give
Virginia fourth place and tie
the Devils with the Tigers, who
are already 4-8 and through
with their regular season, for
fifth.
Starting for Virginia will be
guard Parkhill, forward Wally
Walker, forward Jim Hobgood,
center Gus Gerard and either
Bob McKeag or Al Drummond
at a swing spot.
A third starting possibility
could be fourth-year guard
Larry Gerry who, like
Hobgood and Parkhill, will be
playing his last game ever at
University Hall. Pre-game
ceremonies are planned.
