Terp Spring Practice
To Start March 3

Coach Jim Tatum has an
nounced an earlier-than-usual
start for spring football practice
at the University of Maryland.
He will call out his squad
March 8 and has SO days in
which to get in 20 actual days of
training. One reason for the
early start is to avoid warm
weather which sometimes hits
this area early in the spring.
Tatum also has been called on
an instructor at a number of
football clinics later in the spring.
The TerrapinS must put to-
gether an entire new flrst-string
backf1eld to replace Bernie Fa-
loney. Dick Nolan, Chester Han
ulak and Ralph FELTON,.
Easing the backfield problem
somewhat will be the return of
Joe Petruzzo. who played both
as an offensive back and a de-
fensive back in 1850 and 81.
He has been in the Army. but
will be back next week with a
year of eligibility left.
The chief gaps in the line will
be left by the graduation of
Tackles Stanley Jones and Bob
Morgan. The team seems in
good shape for ends and centers.

Tulsa, Bob Inman. who broke
in as a caddy on this same tour
nament site, the Phoenix Coun-
try Club. in 1912, when he was
in the Navy, stationed here.
Thomson, 24-year-old 1852
Australian Open champion and
regarded as one of the finest
young prospects in the world,
followed his firSt-round 81 with
a respectable SO. Middlecoff's
IS uShered him Immediately to
the front rank.
But it was the 63-tying the
competitive course record-fired
by 38-year-old Leonard and the
spectacular putting luck of &C.
year-old Inman which drew the
gallery applause and earned the
former caddy a IS.
Two strokes off the pace start
ing out today were Jack Harden

with Thomson in the first round,
