Quarterback Is First
Under Tatum 10 Get
No Help From Bench
By MerreII WhittIesey

Maryland's coaches had their
own hero in the TerpS' Saturday
victory over Missouri - Bernie
Faloney, the quarterback.
They particularly liked his
play calling, and reminded that
he was the first quarterback un-
der Coach Jim Tatum who has
not had help from the benchs
Under the unlimited substitution
rule, subs could take a play into
the game at any time. Faloney
was on his own.
Hes a smart boy, wonderful
athlete" Tatum said. as
Faloney played all but a min-
ute and As seconds in near 40
weather. He made several key
tackles. His kicking was good
and also was smart-angled
away from the Tiger receivers.
Receivers Let Him Down.
And Bernie could sue his pass
receivers for non-support. Mary
land could have had two mora
touchdoWns in the first quarter
with only ordinary pass catch-
ing. But the sophomore ends
were too eager, and the ball was
slipping through their fingers.
Faloney made brilliant
touchdown run on which he was
credited with only four yards.
However, his dash started from
the 10 as he was back to pass
on the play, fourth down ana.
four to go.
In fact. Faloney was so good
that he worked himself out of
job for this week end, unless
Washington and Lee is tougher
than the advance billing indi-
Gates. Tatum plans to alternate
Charlie Boxold and Lynn Beigh-
tol at quarterback.
Beightol and the injured Bob
Morgan were the only members
of the 40-man squad who didn't
play against the Tigers. Coach
Tommy Mont remarked after the
game that the Terps seldom
used 38 players under the un-
limited sub rule, yet 38 got into
the game under one-platoon
football.
Tigers Shy On Speed.
When somebody suggested
that Missouri did not impress,
Mont wanted to bet they'd beat
Purdue. co-champion of the Big
Ten, in Columbia Saturday. He
said nobody was going to run
over their defense.
Jack Hennemier added that he
liked Missouri defensively, but
believed the Tigers were too slow
to beat a team like Purdue. Mont
agreed that Missouri lacked
speed.
Tatum had praise, in addition
to Faloney, for John Irvine, a
center, Ralph FELTON, and Dick
Nolan on defense. In fact, he
thought all of his deep backs
handled themselves we'll on de-
fense.
The coaches were disappointed
with the teams wide attack and
also with the punt and kickoff
returns. They haven't worked
much on punt returns to date
but there'll be an accent ON it
in the practice sessions this
week.
Tim Flynn Injured.
The only injured player was
Tim Flynn, the former st. Johns
end who suffered an injury to
the f1bula below the knee Joint
and probably will miss the
Washington and Lee game. End
Bill Walker required two stitches
in his chin.
AS to the criticism that he
took a "hot" team out in the
first half and stopped a touch
down drive, Tatum said it may
not have appeared to be a good
move at the time, but asked
which was the stronger team at
the end. Maryland or Missouri?
1t was Maryland. of course. And.
too, he has been preaching that
he has two good teams, not one.
So under that theory he wasn't
weakening the Terps when he
subbed for all but Faloney.
Maryland had two scouts at
Washington and Lee Saturday
and the team will hear from
them today. Although the
Tigers won, 47-0, their opposi-
ton, Shepherd College, was little
more than junior college.

1854 Tiger-Tern game for Col,
