Wilkinson, but the reaction was
scholarly rather than fearful.
Maryland is a bigger and
stronger team" Wilkinson ad-
mitted. But size is not always
all-important. 1t may be only

At the same time, the coach
Of the Nations No. l football
team said there also was a rela-
tivity about the speed of such
as his halfback, Tommy Nc
Donald.
Hes not the fastest as far as
sheer speed" Wilkinson laimed.
But he gives that impression

reason may be that he's the

tackled and back into the huddle.
