Byrd Stadium. The freshman game relegated to
obscure practice field where the temporary seats held only
about half of the 5000 people who turned out
Tatum watched the first quarter of the freshman
and before over he nervous wreck had been out
the field hang the game and left fearful of future rea
tions between the TerpS and the Cavaliers.
Virginia of is the he wants for his loca"
rivalry There's hope of renewing relations with Navy
and little financial future in continuance of the George
Washington series after next year.
The Maryland Frosh had scored the first two times they
held the ball and led 40 midway in the first period Coach
Whitley Dove taking tip from his considerae boss with

Before Tatum could make graceful withdrawal Virginia

quarter wasn't over.
JIM JUMPED TO HIS FEET waved his 1O-gallon hat and
yelled Whitley can't do that" play two had been
before Tatum coared the officials yelled to the Virginia
coach Butch Saugher to join him in midhed and finally
had Doven return the second-stringers to action.

huddle
"He playing the part Of Aabamas Bart Starr in
practice this and had been told what plays Starr had
been running But no. that wasn't good enough for him.
He made up his own plays at time when he had been told
what to do The varsity looking at plays that Starr

Maryland had sports writer's visiting Friday than
they used to have Saturdays for the big games.
One of the visitors Larry Robinson of the New York
World Telegram whose paper sponsors the
poll Just this Larry had mailed 696 ballots
members of the coaches association.
Somebody asked Robby who would succeed Bigge Mum
OF Michigan State coacof Larry didn't have
clue He figured the voting most even in the
20-year history of the award
Nobody has twice, and that dims the chances
OF Notre Danes Frank Leahy BY the token that is
favorable to Tatum Heretofore the coaches
have preferred faces.
One of the avore tricks voting coaches has been
to reward member of their profession
in the first of job instance Lynn Waldorf
of Northwestern in 1885 Hooks Mn Lafayette 81
shaughnessy of Stanford in 49, Leahy Notre Dame A.
Carroll Wddoes of Ohio State and Chuck Taylor of
Stanford in 81.
Paradoxicaly Robby thinking of George Munger
Penn possibility this year This Mungers year,
and considering the odds and the schedule
Michigan close. If he could have of
those, sentiment might have swayed the voting.
