him to fullback.

"He was a fine football player
in high school," Tatum said.
"He just had trouble adjusting
to college ball, but he's finally
hit it now. The trouble was
We were probably playing him
out of position"
Selep probably will see only
spot action this season. He got
in against North Carolina,
carried four times and made SO
yards. But Tatum already is
figuring on him for next season
when Dick Bielski and George
Albrecht will have joined the
alumni.
Next year, Tatum insists, will
be another big one for the Terps

Tatum put the Terps through

Zarathustra withdrawal was

challenger, the filly Northern

Earlier, Hiroshi Nishi, owner
of the 4-year-old Hakuryo. said
that if a plane is available he'll
fly his horse from Japan to the
United States. Nishi wants his
horse to have at least a week
in the United States to iron out
the kinks of an 8,000-mile ride
Pan American World Airways is
expected to inform Nishi today
if a plane will be available.

Nishi is confident that Ha-
kuryo. winner of the Emperor's
Cup in Tokyo, would fare well
in the International. He said
the 1875 pounds the horse would
be assigned is far less than the
