OutclasSed, Says Butts.

mentator and a long time frienc
of Georgia Coach Wally Butts
was in the Georgia dressing room
after the game when Butt!
walked in. Wally told his play
ers not to feel badly. they hac
done the best they could and he
was proud of them. 1--WE were
outclassed," Butts said, "just
outclassed and there was moth
ing we could do about it" He
was so right.
Georgia has a pretty good bal

the Bulldogs are not deep anc
they're slow. Their lack of speed
was even more in evidence wher

being blocked so hard, were get

Tatum Makes Bad Guess.
Tatum was praising every mar
on his team and staff but M
was bootlng himself. Il made
one good guess but one bad one.
Jim was saying. "You shouldn'
make bad ones"
The Maryland coach said hi!
good guess was that Georgis
would use the same defense i
employed in the 1948 Gator Bow
game when the teams tied, 1920
It did. His bad guess was II
rushing Bratkowski.
For the last two years Mary.
land held Bratkowski in checl
by rushing three men. This veal
Tatum decided to rush four. Blu
when Georgia made its bid il
the second quarter, while Brat
kowski was completing II passes
Tatum sent word in for five mer
to rush Zeke.
That didn't work. Somewhat
| historically. he sent word for si1
men to rush him.
Maryland escaped with a 21-1;
lead at halftime and during the
half Tatum told his team to &C
back to three men rushing the
pasSer. Maryland did and inter-
copied the first two passes Zeke
threw in the third quarter.
Schedule Looks Better.
While Maryland was winning
its fourth straight and humbline
a pretty good Georgia team fol-
the third straight year (12(
points to 20 since 1851, the
Terps' schedule took a rise
George Washington was the only
future opponent to lose.
North Carolina beat Wake
Forest, 1913, and now the Terp!
and the Tar Heels both will b.
unbeaten for Saturdays game
at Chapel Hill. This undoubtedly
will be a sellout.

Maryland a week from Friday
night, came back with 80 second.

Der 81 probably will be the big

lands favor that Alabama plays

Clemson Statement Clarified.
Tatum was chided in this
space yesterday for saying Glenn
son had a great defensive team
the week after the Terps beat
Clemson, 900.
Tatum said he qualified that
statement by saying Clemson
had great defensive team but
the Tigers could lose badly if
their quarterback gave the ball
to the opponent. That's what
happened at Miami. Clemson
was reduced to its third-string
quarterback and he repeatedly
fumbled in his own territory in
the second half, after fumbling
on the Miami 7-yard line when
the game was scoreless. That
took the heart out of the Tigers.
The only sad note for Mary
land over the week end was the
loss of Dick Shipley for the sea-
son. The sophomore guard from
Frederick suffered a badly torn
ligament in the right knee and
there's no chance of his playing,
according to Duke Wyre, the
trainer. He had been alternat-
ing with Tom McLuckie on the
second and third teams and had
been particularly good on de-
