efclSeS, Faloney was as nlmble
as any of the others.
Duke Wyre, the Terps' trainer
who has not seen Faloney for
more than a week, had Bernie
run half the length of the field
and back almost at full speed.
However. Bernie has not been
making any cuts, saving them as
the last test.
After a half-hour of limbering
up. Tatum diviGed the squads
and the first team worked as
unit, with Faloney and Charlie
Boxold alternating at quarter
back. Several times Tatum re-
peated to the team working de-
fenSe against the firSt-Stringers:
Remember. full speed, but don't
touch Faloney." Bernie appeared
embarrassed, by the protective
words.
Faloney was handing off to
Chet Hanulak, Dick Nolan and
Ralph FELTON, and mixing the at
tack with. passing. He did not
appear to be favoring his injured
knee too much, but he was not
moving as he will have to against
Oklahoma.
Tatum said after the workout
that he was discouraged over
Faloney's showing. In addition
to his knee, Bernie has been
bothered by a stomach ailment.
Otherwise, the Maryland coach
said it was the best workout
since the Alabama game.
Miami reporters who watched
Faloney also were disappointed
in his workout. They thought
his knee was weaker than ex-
pected. However, reporters who
have been covering Maryland,
and who watched Faloney when
he barely could walk, thought
Bernie was moving better than
at any time since November 81.
Walker Tried as Kicker.
With the possibility that Fa-
loney will not be available.
Tatum had Bill Walker punting
under pressure. Walker is the
only other man on the first team
who has punted this year, and
he punted once. Tatum did not
appear too impressed with
Walkers work today.
The practice was rugged
enough for Stan Jones, Mary
lands unanimous All-American
tackle, to require the smelling
salts when he was hit right
smack in his Christmas turkey.
Jones received little sympathy
from his teammates, who
thought it was funny.
Jones is the jokester and imi-
tator on the squad and he's too
big for the others to pick on.
When something happens to the
252-pound lineman, the others
love 1t just so it's not serious
enough to keep him out of ac-
ton for long.
The first two teams and some
members of the third were
dressed in red jerseys and white
pants and the third team and
the B-Squad players were all in
white. as they will be PLAYING
the part of the Sooners in future
practice sessions. Oklahoma will
have all-white game uniforms
and Maryland red and white,
which will make a nice contrast
for television.
Tatum Picks Quiet Hotel.
The team checked in at the
Flamingo Hotel after practice.
Unlike the Shelbourne, the mod
ernistic hotel. in the heart of
Miami Beach where Maryland
stayed in October for the Miami
game. the Flamingo is an old.
fashionable, quiet hotel on Bis
cayne Bay. Tatum selected the
hotel for the solitude. In the
season" which will begin here
soon after the Orange Bowl
game, the Flamingo caters to
some of the country's wealthiest
and most important people.
Tomorrow morning Maryland
will devote its workout to the
photographers and press and to-
morrow afternoon the Terps will
have long head-knocking ses-
sion. More heavy work Is sched-
uled for Monday.
The cool weather Is expected
