The answer to whether Jim
Tatum Is staying at Maryland
or going to North Carolina may
come today. but it seems more
likely 1t will be q little longer
before the exact details of his
decision are worked out.
Tatum returned to College

At Chapel Hill yesterday
ETatum said he saw the people
there and had conferences with
them, but I haven't told any
body I'm going to take a job
there, or that won't"
Tatum said his first business is
about Warren Giese, his No.
assistant who has signed to be-
come head football coach at
South Carolina. Undoubtedly,
Giese may want to take one or
two other Maryland assistants
with him, and that matter viii
have to be discussed.
/ AS Tatum expressed it. it
seemed like a routine day for a
busy man getting back to work,
and taking care of matters that
have piled up while he's been
away for several weeks. %
/ Giese said he thinks Tatum is
staying at Maryland. but pro-
fessed to know nothing definite.
Giese added that he is going
into the Office today, and If
Tatum is there, well have a con-
ference.
Tatum, who is both athletic
director and head football coach
at Maryland, went through a
round of conferences with the
North Carolina brass yesterday
Iat Chapel Hill.
There was no announcement

word on Tatum could be ex-

that it probably would come be-
