The Lions have some well-laid
plans for the next few days. be-
ginning at $3.50 o'clock tonight
when they take on the Phila-
delphia Ramblers in an Eastern
Hockey League match at Uline
Arena.
Beaten In their last three
games. q slump which has
pushed them eight points be-
hind the league-leading New
Haven Blades, the Lions hope
to put themselves back into
serious contention by whipping
the Ramblers tonight and the
Blades Saturday night here and
Sunday night in New Haven.
The Ramblers come here after
a 80 victory over the Blades
in Atlantic City last night.
It's large order, but a neces-
sary one to keep their pennant
hopes alive for Player Coach
Stan Warecki and his crew, who
have met one Illustration after
another this season.
Tonight's game will be the
seventh between the two clubs,
which have split to date. The
Ramblers. tagging in last place,
have been especially troublesome
to the Lions. OF their three
victories. one was In overtime
and another was at Uline's,
where the Lions must reign
supreme or else. Losing at home
in this league is disastrous to
Ipennant ambitions.
The Lions have o l2-4-l rec
ord at home. but away, they are
struggling at q 1888 pace with
five victories in is matches. The
road is rough. Teams travel by
auto and that wearisome grind
takes its toll. All teams. includ-
ing New Haven, have losing rec
ords on the road.
The Lions have won only two
of seven from New Haven and
Iare 3-5-l against Clinton, but
have swept five games with Bal
Itimore and have taken four OF
five from Johnstown.
/ Art Darlington, the Negro star
who played with the Lions last
season. and Reg Meserve. an
other ex-Lion, are two of the
reasons Philadelphia has been
able to break even with Wash
ington to date.
Darlington has been particu-
larry unkind to his ex-mates
He scored three times on two &C.
casions and assisted on the win
ming goal in the other to figure
in all three Rambler victories
over the Lions.

Houston, and Jack Hennemier,
coach of the Calgary Stampeders
in the Canadian League, also
would be in the running If
Maryland needs new man.
Strong Backing Necessary
However, Hennemier is not in
terested If there is any reduction
in scholarships, nor would any
name" coach be likely to listen
unless he could be assured OF
sound backing by the Maryland
president.
II Tatum goes to North Caro-
lima he might lose the title OF
athletic director, as tnat posi-
ton at Chapel Hill is held by
Chuck Erickson, a schoolmate
of Tatum'S and longtime
friend. However, there were re-
ports that a compromise might
be arranged on this point.
OF course, nobody is unrealis-
tic enought to believe these will
be the first conferences between
Tatum and the Tar Heels. He
has been talking to them for
years about returning to his
alma mater and his wife's home
State.
But now they are ready to
start laying it on the line. and
by the week end he will have
made a decision
There are kinks in the ath-
.letic setup at North Carolina
that Tatum does not like. but
at least almost everybody there
is friendly to football. and long
has been.
The Terrapin Club members
were using every bit of persua-
sion on Jim yesterday. He has
been honest in saying in recent
weeks that he hopes to be at
Maryland next year. but day by
day the chances of his staying
are lessened. He is not getting
the answers to questions that
would keep him there.

The meeting will be devoted
mainly to the consideration of

With BILL LEETCH

Our trip UP into the Valley OF
Virginia after quail last week
end was very enjoyable. as usual,
but not too fruitful insofar as
the shooting was concerned.
Herb wilkins fine dog Jake was
laid up with q swollen leg so we
had only Gus to find birds for
us, which normally would have
been all that was necessary. as
Gus is q worthy scion Of Jake.
However. Gus was slightly under
the weather himself. The weather
was cold and dry with not too
much wind blowing and the birds
were flushing wild. making 1t ex-
tremely tough going for q young
dog.
Gus hunted nobly and found
I'VE covey for US during the aft
ernoon, three Of which flushed
wild, giving us no shot at all.
The birds would fly directly into
the woods. and the ground -cover
was so dry and crackly that 1t
was impossible to hunt singles
with success. Our son, Bill, jr.,
accompanied Herb and your
scribe, and between us we ac-
counted for only 1--WE birds dur
ing the afternoon, three of them
falling to Herb. Bill and I each
scratched one bird apiece. and
counted ourselves lucky. Gus
met with q slight mishap, run
ming q long splinter into one of
the pads on his left forefoot and
although Herb got 1t out all right,
1t didn't add to the dogs happi-
ness nor improve his going. So
at 4:30 we called 1t q day and
came home. It was Just one of
those days when conditions are
not propitious and the birds do
not cooperate at all, even to the
extent Of coming out to feed.
| We have rarely seen the coun-
tryside so dry as 1t is in the
upper part Of the Valley. Streams
are very low and. were it not for
cover. topsoil would be blown
away as In the case Of our West
ern prairie country. AS 1t was,
we frequently saw small dust
devils stirred up in fields Of win
ter wheat. The countryside
needs about q continuous week
or two Of snow to put the top
soil in shape.
J Sunday, and again Monday,
we drove out to the conservation
farm Of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase Ike Waltonians. Besides
rambling around looking over
the cover and searching for
coveys of quail, we watched
George Cable and his son Doug
together with Norman Hunt,
cutting didoes on ice skates on
the larger of the two bass ponds.
The ice was three or more inches
thick and smooth and clear,
and we put in a profitable half
hour walking over it and men
tally marking down the deep
holes so come fishing time next
spring We'll know better where
to cast for largemouths.

seriously in spring practice and,
even though he is q senior, Tam
burello may have to start all
over. His biggest job may be re-
gaining the confidence Of the
players.
Even II Tatum and all Of his
aides leave, Maryland still should
have much success next year.
One OF the Miami papers said
yesterday that Maryland had 10
or possibly fewer players on the
field when Bob Laughery's try
for the extra point was blocked
by Jerry Tubbs in the second
quarter.
Tatum said this was not true,
but he did admit confusion in
the ranks at the time.
Laughery usually goes in as a
substitute for Fullback Fred
Hamilton on an extra point try,
and when Laughery raced on
the field, Hamilton raced of.
But Tatum had told Laughery
to 90 in for Russell Dennis, be-
cause he had fresh ends to relieve
Dennis but no fresh fullback TO
relieve Hamilton.
Hamilton was told to rush back
and send Dennis in. but instead
for some reason he told Ed
IVereb. So Vereb raced of the
field.
However. as Tatum said yes
Iterday. The way Tubbs shot
through that line we could have
had 86 men on the field and he
would have blocked It,"
NOTES.-The Maryland play
ers went to Ciro's last night,
their last party. and will leave
for home at 4 o clock this after
noon. Estimated time OF arrival
in Washington is 1880.
.Tatum said it was the first time
he could remember that a team
OF his had been beaten in the
second half. Tatum and
his STAFF were upset yesterday
when they read stories in a
couple OF papers that it was
Maryland's worst performance
in years" They didn't think so.
Oklahoma was just too good.
All OF the stories by visiting
sportSwriters were far different
from those of two years ago.
when 1t wasn't much OF a ball
game. Everybody apparently
thought this was a thriller. j..
Wilkinson is a great one for
running up and down the side
lines. shouting instructions to
his team.
Tatum should take a tip. After
Ed Vereb made his 66-yard run
to the Oklahoma 10. Tatum
wildly signaled for a time out,
as did several of the players on
the bench, but Jim was too far
away. The Terps needed Q rest
for Vereb here because he had
covered about 100 yards in the
run. Obviously he was the only
Maryland back who could have
scored in this tough 10 yards.
But the leaders weren't think
ing, and two plays later Tam
|burello fumbled and the Terps
lost an opportunity that might
have led to a 1870 lead at the
half.-WHITTLESEY.

but his recommendation are
given serious consideration.
Preliminary Stages"

Preliminary Stages"
Right now everything is just
in the preliminary stages" DR.
Elkins added. We have talked
about it for some time and we
were not influenced by the North
Carolina talks"
Judge William P. Cole. jr.
head of Maryland's Board OF
Regents, attended the conference
between Tatum and DR.. Elkins
and confirmed that the per-
manent tenure offer would put
the coach on the same basis as
any other professor at the uni
versity. He was quoted as say
ing it would be a "good-faith,
iron-clad offer" in writing. He
admitted to a reporter, however
that the State Legislature con-
ceivably could break the contract
by abolishing appropriations for
the job.
During his nine seasons at
Maryland Tatum has not had a
written contract. He now has
tenure only as professor Of
physical education.
Empire Could Crumble
Tatum's departure from the
city today brought a temporary
end to desperate, last-minute
pleas by members of the Terra
pin Club to get him to stay.
Throughout the day yesterday
less than "a hours after the
Terps' 2O-6 defeat at the hands
Of Oklahoma in the Orange
Bowl, members of Maryland S
booster organization were in and
out Of Cottage G." Tatum's
quarters on the Flamingo Hotel
grounds.
1t appeared to these alumni
that Maryland's football empire
was about to crumble. or at least
lose all the manpower that built
it up. If Tatum goes. all OF his
assistants will leave, unless one
Of them is picked to succeed him.
May Lose Big Games
Whether Tatum stays or goes,
DR.. Elkins has stated that Mary
land will reduce the number OF
its football scholarships, SO for
a four-year period, which. despite
the success of the team, is the
lowest in the Atlantic Coast
Conference. Fewer scholarships
Of course, will mean less success.
And If Tatum leaves, it not
only means that negotiations
with two Of the biggest names
in football for future games will
cease. but Maryland's big nom
conference opponents OF the
next few seasons may ask to
withdraw from their contracts.
Many football people are
skeptical of Maryland's future
in the game without Tatum.
They believe the upcoming big
games were scheduled more on
a personal basis than between
schools.
Vacancies All Around
At present there are three
coaching vacancies in the At
lantlc Coast Conference, at Vir-
ginia, Wake Forest and North
Carolina. Tatum and his assist
ants have been mentioned for
all three. In addition, there's
South Carolina, where Warren
Giese of the Maryland staff is
supposed to be the new head
coach.
1t is not far-fetched to state
that all Of these jobs may be
filled by Tatum or members of
his staff. If Tatum moves Tom
my Mont would be a strong con-
tender at Maryland. Eddie
league is high on the list OF
candidates at Wake Forest. and
at least two OF Jim's aides have
been interviewed at Virginia
Giese probably will take some of
the Maryland assistants to South
Carolina with him.
Two OF Tatum's former assist
ants, Bill Meek, now coach at
