OO--T-N----o'
AT THIS POINT Tatum shouldn't have any complaints
The Terrapns drew notices from critics after their
40-1S victory over Georgia, and moved notch to No.
among the top 10 teams Barring collapse such last
years. when Mississippi and Alabama upset in success
Sve weeks they almost certainly will figure prominently in
the bowl picture There talk already possible Maryland
Oklahoma meeting in the Orange Bowl.
The Maryland ground attack spearheaded by Hanulak
Nolan FELTON, and Faloney something special
the Terrapns have gained net of 1903 yards rushing
$50 for the opposition. They hold edge in passing
although throwing only slightly more than half
aerias
"I still think and probably will lose two games"
Tatum says II mean it. North Carolina might beat
Saturday"
The Tar Heels like Maryland are unbeaten but their
record would to fall bit shy of the Terrapns This
isn't foong Tatum at all North Carolina has
speed and than team we've played" he
says. "Ill leave it up to Emmett Cheek"
EMMETT CHEEK HAS BEEN scouting the Tar Heels for
Taum and he puts in with the boss Al their backs
rum kick and pass Cheek reports They don't know
who their best backs they've got many Best thing
about them worst from our standpoint is that they
don't tumble"
That's right" Tatum agrees. "You take the teams the
press thinks the best 10 in the country Notre Dame
fumbng team Michigan State Maryland, all those teams
tumble four five times game. Oklahoma has been
averaging five fumbles game for years.
But North Carolina doesn't tumble. Once this
they've lost the ball tumble On the other hand they've
recovered IL 1S fumbles They don't give anything in
other words"
Before the season Tatum had tabled his s Terrapns
"the first team coached with better backhed
than it's line" to change his opinion
although Jim be mildly surprised by his backs They
better than just good, especially Quar-
terback Bernie Faoney. -.
THAT FELLOW is rarity" Tatum says happily. "when
had Scabah, he played defense Was great too Now
he plays ofense just well"
"You are lucky to have him. somebody remarked.
"I it," Jim comedies. "some of the other schools
running into trouble because they don't have anybody
like Faloney Georgia Tech for instance Bobby Dodds
rSt-strng quarterback the last couple of sitting
still make the team co. but he can't play
defense. Bobby is moaning.
"sure I'm lucky to have Faloney just want to keep
piece Boxod good quarterback too. There's
much difference ofense, but Bernie is we'll,
just helluva defensive back don't want to think
about it,"
Think about what?"
leave Boxod If he got hurt too we'd be in bad shape
big drop-o in quarterbacks after Faloney
and Boxod."
1T WAS TIME FOR the Maryland to repair to the
projection to study motion pictures and head for the
practice field Cali you fellows welcome to watch practice
reporters u you might have little trouble
telling which which is North Carolina Starting
today we're scrmmaging North Carolina
what does that mean?" he asked
"Wel know, give the scrubs lot of North Caro-
lima stuff and to to prevent scores Only trouble
s George plays game do It might be hard to
tell the difference"
George" is George Barclay former Tatum assistant
who now is head coach of the Heels. Doing all right too
although having with Tatum being regarded his
friend of the football HELD Way
Butts friend of Tatum'S too but Maryland has run
12O points in the last three years against Georgia.
Don Faurot of Missouri is closer to Tatum than
Butts anybody ese but Jim pins back Dons every
year. It's ritual like sitting the fence at Yale Or like
the Yankees sappng down the Dodgers in the World Series
