Eddie league, who along with
Bob Ward secuted Washington
and Lee last Saturday, gave
conservative scout report on the
Generals at Maryland's weekly
press luncheon yesterday at
College Park.
Maryland, a 20-to-6 victor
over Missouri last Saturday,
meets the Generals at 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon in Byrd
Stadium. Washington and Lee
won, 47-0, over little Shepherd
College in it's opener.
league said Washington and
Lee has IL good football play
ers and about four capable subs
in the 80 men it dressed for the
game. I'VE should beat EN-"
league said, but We'll have to
play some football. We can't
go out there and slop around"
Only Seven Days Practice.
league admitted Shepherd
provided little in the way of op-
position, but he still figured he
and Ward could evaluate the
W&L personnel, Shepherd had
only about seven days of practice
before the game. In fact the
school wired Marylands Jim
Tatum late in August asking
Jim to recommend a coach. Jim
didn't have anybody in mind,
and they hired Donald Fouss.
Washington and Lee beat only
Davidson, Richmond and VPI
last year, but it almost upset
Virginia in the last game, losing
to a Cavalier rally, 21-14. The
Generals are coached by Carl
Wise for the second year.
league said their best player
probably was Bill McHenry,
captain and center, who also has
a good replacement in Don
Weaver Joe Lindsey is back at
quarterback and he is working
under Gil Bocetti, W&LS bril-
liant quarterback under George
Barclay, now the North Caro-
lima coach. Lindsey was ninth

ference on total offense last
season.
Fullback Has Speed.

the fullback, particularly for his
speed. He was downfield Is
yards ahead of any other player
on kickoffS," Eddie said. He
carried for 432 yards last year.
Eddie Lands is the best half
back and if Tatum had his way,
Lands would be playing in Byrd
Stadium this week in q Mary
land uniform. The Terps sought
him at the same time they were
after Lynn Beightol. Now
Lands goes to summer school
at Maryland but to W65L when
it counts.
The Generals have heft on the
line and under Lindsey operate
the T well. Ed Kensler, former
Maryland star. is one of Wise's
assistants and they'll know al |
most every move the Terps
make.
league figures the Generals
will be fair match for Mary
land as long as the first team
can play at top speed, but be-
lieves the Terps should wear
them down numerically.
I'VE can't be overconf1dent."
he said, with q glance at Tatum,
who wouldn't be overconf1dent If |
he was playing the Little Sisters
of the Poor. Not after Missis-
sippi.
Maryland coaches and players
who were somewhat disappoint-
ed that former Terp stars were
cut loose by pro football teams
had one observation.
The Redskins released Lou
Weidensaul and the Steelers
dropped Lloyd Colteryahn, both
after big buildups as to how val
liable the former Terp ends
would be. But neither Weiden- !
saul nor Colteryahn had a single
pass thrown to them in six ex-
hibition games by each team. |
The Maryland folks just don't |
believe either Lou or Lloyd had |
fair trials, unless tests of pro
rockies are based on practice
performances.
Both Weidensaul and Golfer
yahn used to play ho-hum in
practice, but there were no COM
plants when the bell rang.
