QB's injury Forces Terps To
By ED CARPENTER
Assistant Sports Editor
,
:, , The life of a college football coach
:It
can get to be quite frustrating. Case in
;,I point: Maryland's Tom Nugent.
:••
kck• • Nugent was faced with a monumen
tal task when the Terps opened their
1964 season—finding a replacement
for quarterback Dick Shiner. Shiner,
who was lost through graduation, was
a three-year letterman, and as a sopho-
N more engineered the Terps to a 21-17
vietory over the Lion's. It was Mary
land's only triumph -111 the 10-game
series that dates back to 1917.
.
4 Ambrusko Apparent Answer .
Pollowihg spring practices, it looked
s as if the Terps had their problem
Nt solved by Kenny Ambrusko. The jun-
for signal caller was billed as an "ex-
citing, daring rollout passer who likes
to ruti and pass equally well . . . dis
appointed whenever his plays don't go
Fl 'all the way.' "

On a part-time basis.
Nugent's forces also have
been injury -riddled and to

is Jerry Fishman, whom his

Terrapins.
"Nobody around here is
taking them lightly," Engle
said in his office yesterday.
"They're a big rough foot
ball team and we know
they're going to be tough.
They've got as big a back
field as anybody we've
faced. Their biggest prob
lem has been lack of exper
ience."
Assistant coach Jim 0 1 -
Hora echoed Engle's senti
ments, noting that Maryland
"has as much potential as
any outfit we've played."
Same Backfield
Engle will be going with t.
backfield of fullback Torn
Urbanik. halfbacks Bob Rig
gle and Dirk Nye and quar
terback Gary Wydman.
Wydman has been play
ing a steady brand of ball
lately, doing a lot to make
fans forget the apparition of
Liske. Wydman, of course,
was called upon to fill
Liske's brogans without ever
having started a varsity
game at quarterback.
A similar fate was experi
enced by Maryland's Phil
Petry, a sophomore who was
tossed into the breach as a
replacement for the injured
Ken Ambrusko in the first
game. He has been No. 1
since that time, but with
the reactivation of Jim Cor
coran, Petry has been given
a breather on occasion, es
pecially when the Terps
have to go to the long bomb.

"Por ho experience, he runs the

of the two field generals, though, it
was obvious that Petry is no Am

"Ken is fast and agile," Nugent

"Petry, on the other hand, is not
