1erp Gridiron Drills
NOT 10 Be Staged

Spring football practice is thing
of the past at Maryland. Not that
the Terps are de-eEDhasizing, you
understand, just showing it back a
couple of months and making it
summer practice for a couple Of
very good reasons.
Jack Faber, still chief Of the grid
staff and acting head of athletics,
had the idea some months ago. 1t
seemed feasible to wait and see
what the Southern Conference
would do about freshmen and how
the squad would be affected by the
draft before putting the boys
through the customary rigorous
spring drills. and subsequent events
have proved the soundness of the
thought.
The conference has yet to make
up its mind about freshmen, and
the draft still is picking off indi-
viduals here and there, but by June
20, when the new summer semester
begins, Faber and the Terps should
know where they stand and be able
to make plans accordingly.
Drills will begin about June %
and will be limited to brief late
afternoon sessions to avoid the heat
and q loss Of enthusiasm.
