By the close of May. he was not
only successful in first and second

.Tatunn Accents
Poll, Rankings
Al Weekly Fete
By MERRELL WHITTLEsEY

Jim Tatum touched all the
bases at Maryland's weekly foot
ball press luncheon yesterday
baseball, football, physical edu-
cation. the Olympics. the AP
poll, his team and North Caro-
lima 's-but the conversation al
ways came back to the poll and
rankings.
Tatum had no quarrel with
Michigan replacing the Terps in
first place. He said anybody
who did not see Maryland beat
Wake Forest and did not see
Michigan beat Army last week
would have to be prejudiced for
Maryland not to vote Michigan
tops.
But he added that he would
like to play any team in the
country, Michigan or any other
club that might be rated No. !
before the season is over. He
intimated that Maryland already
had played the best in UCLA, and
although he admits he has a
poor record for predicting, he
thinks UCLA win win the Pacific
Coast title and beat the Big Ten
representative In the Rose Bowl.
Thinks Poll Is Absurd
Most Of the Big Ten coaches
are Tatum's friends and he has
exchanged visits to coaching
clinics with several Of them
but he believes there's a great
overemphasis Of Big Ten talk in
the arguments over tough sched-
|ules.
Throw out Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan State and he
said he'd like to see Wake Forest
or Clemson play Indiana, North
western, Purdue or Minnesota in
the Big Ten, and he's positive
the Atlantic Coast Conference
prestige would not suffer. And as
for the Big Tens big shots. he'd
like to see them play Maryland
or Duke.
He likes the poll because he
likes anything that brings IA
yorable attention to college foot
ball. but he also thinks it's rather
absurd. /. Teams are up one
day and down the next.
And he added that In football
today there's too much empha-
sis on unbeaten teams. A team
can lose q game on that down
day and stin be q great football
team over the season.
He likes his nom Conference
