Seeks First Victory
Over Alma Mater
By MerreII WhittIesey

A plane load of Maryland foot
ball players left today for another
visit to Tobacco Row, the college,
crowded section of North Carolina
where Coach Jim Tatum has had
little success in his four years
at Maryland.
The biggest outpouring of Mary
land hackers ever to follow the
team started leaving College Park
before the team.
Tomorrow's clash with the Uni
versity of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill will be Maryland's s
eighth with Tobacco Row teams
Duke, Carolina. Wake Forest and
North Carolina State) in Tatum' s
tenure and the Terps have won
only two. They have not played
Wake. Forest. but that's in the
Row"
This Is the "Big One"
Tatum wants to win them all
OF course. but this is the one
that means the most to Big Jim.
he was a..star tackle at Carolina,
assistant coach there, head coach
IN 1912. And every time 1t is
rumored that Carl Snavely might
leave Carolina, for one reason or
another, Tatum is rung in as the
logical successor.
This is Tatum's third meeting
with Carolina since 1947 and he
lost the other two. He had
SIMILAR record against Duke, two
losses in two meetings, before the
Terps beat the Blue Devils two
weeks ago. Against N. c. State,
Maryland has a victory, tie and
this years defeat in three games
since Tatum has been at Mary
land. That makes two victories,
flve defeats and a tie against the
three North Carolina teams in
Tatum's career.
College Park is excited over
Maryland's last game this season
with a major opponent to the
extent that more than $500 will
follow the team. A special train
leaves tonight, and hundreds of
automobile loads of students and
alumni are taking off today and
tonight.
Scarbath May Not Play.
The host Tar Heels expect up
ward of $4,000 in the 43,5OO-
capacity Kenan Stadium, and un-
less it goes to $4,000 the crowd
will be the second smallest to see
North Carolina play this year.
Despite only two victories in six
games, the Tar Heels are outdraw-
ing most teams in the South at
nome and away.
Whether or not Johnny Scarbath
plays for Maryland will be almost
a last-minute decision. The soph-
omore quarterback's shoulder sep
aration has not responded to
treatment as fast as expected and
unless he shows overnight i'm
provement, the burden of directing
the split T viii be up to Bob De
Stefano. another sophomore.
Statistics of North Cardinals S
first six games show an edge in
total offense over past opponents
in every department. although the
Tar Heels won only over N. c..
State and William and Mary.
against defeats by Notre Dame,
Wake Forest and Tennessee and a
tie with Georgia.
While Billy Hayes, the Arlington
youngster, is Cardinals most valu-
able back, Dick Bunting has the
most impressive yardage. Bunting
has gained 356 yards, only 30
fewer than Ed Modzelewski of the
Terps and 16 less than the feet
Bob Shemonski. Bunting has a
40-yard average in IA punts, has
completed nine of 81 passes and
intercepted three passes.
Special Mark for Hayes.
Hayes was injured against Will
liam and Mary and missed the
Tennessee game, which left the
Tar Heels fiat on offense. Hayes
is the leader and will be back
against Maryland. playing with a
special mask protecting the
cheekbone hurt against the In
dians.
Carolina has had George Rad
man, a former associate of
Tatum's, scouting Maryland and
he has impressed on the Carolina
boys that they've never played a
Maryland team as good as this
