Jack Scarbath's S Subs
Show wTheyCa Handle
Job When Needed
By MerreIl WhittIesey

Jack Scarbath, the University
Of Maryland's cover boy" quarter
back, learned yesterday he has
some mighty good requirements.
Jack was one of four quarter
backs used in a two-and-a-half
hour Scrimmage under a hot sun
in Byrd Stadium. He scored
touchdown, passed for another,
repeatedly fooled several hundred
spectators with his handoffs and,
in general, lived up to his billing.
But to the unconcealed delight
Of the coaching staff, there was
little letdown after Scarbath took
a rest. Bernie Faloney, the junior
quarterback, took over and was
magnificent. He was little short
Of perfection as a ball handler.
On one occasion Faloney found
himself trapped trying to get a
pass away on the 30-yard line of
the defensive team and proceeded
to get away for a touchdown dash.
Line Combinations Click.
Lynn Beigktol was the third
quarterback used, and he was fol-
lowed by Bob De Stefano. Bob
had been assigned to a defen-
sive halfback position. but he in
dicated he still deserves crack as
the sub quarterback. He, too, was
brilliant. and after the scrimmage.
Coach Jim Tatum said it was De
Stefano's best workout at quar-
terback in his career. de Stefano
looked like a million dollars" was
the way Tatum put it.
The main purpose of the lengthy
scrimmage. however, was to work
on several combinations in the /
line. Both Dick Modzelewski and
Bob Morgan were shifted to often
sive tackle positions and Tatum
said Little Mo in particular showed
enough to be used both on offense
and defense if necessary.
The big surprise on the line.
however. was the performance of
Tom McLuckie. who was shifted
to tackle on defense. McLuckie
is a 215-pound sophomore from
Midland, Mich, who had been
playing number two to Bill Ma
letzky at guard.
The coaches liked the way Nc
Luckie used his head in addition
to his field play. He had more
chance to play than usual be-
cause Little Mo and Morgan did
not play defense and MaletSky
was moved to defensive tackle in
an experimental move. The
coaches figure Maletzky might be
needed there in case Little Mo and
Morgan should get hurt. or if they
should be needed on offense.
75-Yard Run Longest. !.
Ed Barritt was held out of the +
fullback spot because the coaches I
pretty we'll know what he can do
and Ed Fullerton starred at that
position in Barritt's absence. The
other fullbacks were not too i'm
presSive.
Ralph FELTON,, Ronnie Waller and
Chet Hanulak were the best OF the
running backs on the field, with
Waller making the longest run OF
the day, about IS yards. FELTON,
was the standout, particularly with
his open-f1eld running.
John Alderton played at Of
fensive end for the first time and
his performance was acceptable,
particularly as it will take time
for the shift from defense. Dick
Nolan was one of the few backs
who played on offense and defense
and looked good.
In addition to the Scarbath,
Faloney and Waller touchdowns,
FELTON, passed to Hanulak from
10 yards out; Hanulak scored from
the three after a drive led by
Fullerton and Faloney; and
Leland Liebold passed to Waller
for another, seven touchdowns In
all.
The first week of practice was

ing the squad to the Nats-Yankee
game today after he and the
coaches spent a couple Of hours
this morning going over pictures
of Yesterdays Scrimmage.
