pressed . desire to see an
American football game on her
visit here. 10 the magnet at
tracing q sellout crowd Of
5000 to Byrd Stadium today
TO see Maryland meet North
Carolina.
Gov. McKeldin Of Maryland
will do his best to explain this
sometimes intricate game to
Her Majesty and Prince Philip,
and the Terrapin fans are
hoping that the combination
of royalty and the visit of their
former coach win inspire their
team enough for an upset
victory.
Nineteen minutes after the
royal party makes its entrance
into Byrd Stadium at 156.
and following the presentation
Of the captains to Her Majesty,

Tatum's Homecoming"
This game was booked as
the Terps' biggest home sttrac-
ton long before the Queen
made known her desire. 1t is a
Homecoming" Of sorts Of Big
Jim Tatum, who left Maryland
two years ago for North Caro-
line, his alma mater.
The Queen doubtless viii ask
many questions about she be-
havior Of Tatum, VINO viii
direct his team from the side
lines in plain view of Der Maj
esty. Jim is a show himself
in q tight ball game. hopping
from phone to phone, dofi1ng
his Texas hat, sketching plays
on the blackboard. inspiring
his players, and chain smoking.
The Tar Heels, who matched
MaYyland's 2-7-1 REGARD last
year. are on the upgrade, with
three smashing tri1mphs
against Clemson, Mary and
Miami. On the strength Of their
new look they are sevsn-point
favorites to keep rohing to-
wards what could be an Orange
Bowl bid.
Maryland, one Of the most
unpredictable teams il the Ma
ton at this halfway point Of
the season, could win with some
Of the sharpness it displayed in
losing to powerful Texas AIM
and Duke, or some of the punch
it showed in the Wake Forest
game last week.
Loaded With SophOmores
Both teams have sophomores
commanding attention. At
North Carolina, it's q combina-
ton Of the youngsters pushing
more experienced players for
their positions and creating
hustle through the squad.
At Maryland. sophomores are
all that Coach Tommy Mont
has at several key positions, but
week by week they're starting
to show q little more. and could
be due to click as q unit.
Her Majesty may be taken
back at the size Of some Of the
Tar Heels, such as Stuars Pell.
233-pound tackle who wss out
against Miami last
week, or Don Stallings. 243-
pound guard, and Phil Blazer
and Leo Russagage. 22s.pound
tackles. They help the Tar
Heels to q sizeable weight adj
vantage on the first two lines.
Jim Schiller and Jim Coker,
starting sophomore backs Of the
Tar Heels. are their most excit-
ing ball players, while Mary
land has a new threat N Gene
Verardi, q feet halfbsck who
has moved in behind HOWE
Dare to give Maryland q two
deep threat at that position.
Mont Needs Victory
The rumbling against Mont,
who coached under Tazum and
succeeded him with Jim's bless
ings. could be quieted If Tommy
could pull his Terps to victory
before this glittering audience.
