DR. WILSON H. ELKINS
PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
In this space, it is only proper that sportswriters and sportscasters across the nation would want us to say "Thank you, Dr. Byrd; a job well done. Good luck".
Too, the sports world says, "Welcome, Dr. Elkins. May your stay as the new University President be as happy, enjoyable, and prosperous in education, athletics, and all aspects of University life as it has been."
Dr. Elkins assumed the big chore of heading the vast University of Marj'land September r. He was the successor named to Dr. Byrd from over ioo candidates. Dr. Byrd, who in 20 years of untiring efforts building the University of Maryland to one of the world's foremost educational institu- tions, resigned this year to run for the governorship of the State. He won the primary and his bid for Governor will be decided in the November elec- tion.
Dr. Elkins, former president of Texas Western College of the Univer- sity of Texas at El Paso before his Maryland appointment, was born in Medi- an, Texas, July 9, 1908. With his lather and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W- B. Elkins, he moved to San Antonio at an early age.
After completing his grade and high school education in San Antonio, Dr. Elkins attended Schreiner Institute from 1926 to the spring of 1928 when he
entered the University of Texas. From Texas University in 1932, he received both the bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees.
Receiving a Rhodes Scholarship, Dr. Elkins attended Oxford University from 1933 to 1936, receiving degrees of Bachelor of Letters and Doctor of Philosophy.
Combining outstanding academic and athletic abilities during his student days at the University of Texas, he was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa and earned eight varsity letters in football, basketball, and track. In his final year at Texas, he captained the basketball team and was elected president of the students' association.
Dr. Elkins lettered in football on the 1929, 1930, and 193 1 teams at Texas and was the regular quarterback in his final two seasons, the one in
1930 winning the Southwest Conference title. That team ranks among Texas' all-time best. A soph end with that team was Edwin B. Price, now head coach at Texas.
He lettered on the 1930, '31, and '32 basketball teams. He was captain his senior year and also the squad's leading scorer. He lettered in track in
1931 and '32 as a sprinter and broad jumper. He was a member of the national championship football shuttle relay team at the Drake Relays in I931-
Dr. Elkins married Dorothy Blackburn of Berclair, Texas, in 1927. They have two daughters, Carole Ann and Margaret Elise. His career as an edu- cator began in 1932 when he was named athletic director of Cisco High School. In 1936, Dr. Elkins joined the faculty of the University of Texas as an instructor in history. He held this position until 1938 when he went to San Angelo as president of the Junior College.
He remained there until January, 1949, when he was chosen president of Texas Western College. This position he held until his recent appointment as the President of the University of Maryland.
Dr. Elkins is a member of numerous learned societies including the Texas State Teacher's Association, National Educational Association. Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Phi Gamma, and is listed in Who's Who in American Educa- tion. He is a member of Sigma Nu fraternity-
Dr. Elkins is a member of the Methodist Church and the Rotary Club. He is a constant contributor to national education periodicals.
JIM TATUM— 1953 COACH OF THE YEAR
Having just completed his seventh year coaching Maryland to the highest pinnacle in collegiate football, the 1953 National Championship, Jim Tatum's fellow coaches rewarded the young 40-year old grid master by naming him their "Coach of the Year" by a record landslide vote. He had guided Mary- land to its second undefeated and untied season in three campaigns and the terrible Terrapins were the only major undefeated and untied team in the nation.
The most deserving honor for the hard working Tatum, who in such a short span has put previously unheard of Maryland football on top, came just a few days after the Terps were awarded the O'Donnell Trophy as National Champions for finishing on top in the season's final Associated Press poll.
Man-land also was top-ranked in the United Press coaches' poll, the INS national poll, and Tatum was "Coach-of-the-Year" in the new Atlantic Coast Conference of which Maryland is a member. Too, the Terps were the unani- mous choice of the ACC to be the representative in the Orange Bowl.
This summer he was head coach of the College All-Stars who lost to the Detroit Lions, professional football kingpins, in the annual Chicago- Tribune Charity mid-summer classic.
The '54 season marks Tatum's eighth season at College Park. There is little reason to even think that Maryland will not have another winning season, somthing the Terp fans haven't experienced since the Tatum regime began in 1947- In the past seven campaigns, the Terps have won 56, lost 12, and tied three. Tatum has taken the big Red Shirts to four post-season bowl classics. The 7-0 loss to Oklahoma last January was his first bowl loss. His overall record coaching collegiate teams which numbers nine years (one at North Carolina and one at Oklahoma) is 69 wins, 17 losses and five ties. This does
not include a g-2-0 record when he was head coach at Jacksonville Naval Air Station during the war.
A former star tackle at the University of North Carolina ('35), Tatum probably is the most defense-minded coach in America. The '53 National Champions topped the country in rushing defense and were fourth in total defense. Maryland scored six shutouts last year. Only 31 points were scored against them in ten regular season games.
But despite this accent of defense, his Split-T offense is the best. Tatum and assistant Warren Giese authored "Coaching Football and the Split-T" for the football book shelves last summer. He spends almost even- available off-season moment lecturing on his Split-T offense. This summer's clinics carried him to the West Coast for a month- Yet his personal pride is his team's defensive record.
Back of Tatum's coaching success is his greatest asset — the ability to organize. Dr. H. C. Byrd, president emeritus of the University, himself of course a former Terp football coach, terms Tatum the greatest organizer he has met. Tatum's coaching staff, his coaching system, his planning for practice, his preparation for games are part of his close-knit organization. His day in football season starts at 6:30 a.m. It is over after midnight. A big fellow, he has the drive to carry through a season on this schedule.
All-Americans, pro prospects, and members of all-star teams virtually were unheard of at Maryland before Tatum came. Maryland has placed two players on most of the respected ail-Americans for four years; this was the second year in a row that the Terps had more players in the all-star game than any other school, and in '51 and '^2, more Terps were drafted by the pros than any other school. Last year, seven out of nine were drafted and an eighth would have been if end Marty Crytzer hadn't made known his in- tentions to skip pro ball for Maryland Dental School.
After his graduation from North Carolina, the native of McColl, S. C, followed his coach Carl Snavely, to Cornell. He returned to his alma mater for his first fling at head coaching in 1942.
Warld War II found Tatum in the Navy. It was then that he was to learn the Spit-T from Missouri's Don Faurot as the latter's assistant at Iowa Pre-Flight. In '45, he was head coach at Jacksonville Naval Air Station.
After his Navy discharge, he molded a strong eleven at Oklahoma then came to Maryland.
The Tatum's have three children, Becky, fourth grade ; son Jimmy, sec- ond grade; and a two-vear old daughter, Reid. Mrs. Tatum is a native of Ayden, N. C.
ASSISTANT COACHES
JACK HENNEMIER
Weighing only 150 pounds when he played at Duke University, '33, '34, and '35, Jack Hennemier made gridiron fame as he became one of the all-time few who played a great game at center for his size.
A 60-minute man, the Terps' Line Coach won the most valuable player award as voted by his teammates in '35. The same year he made All-America Mention and the All-Con- ference team.
Because of his outstanding football ability for such a "little guy", he was nicknamed "Scrappy Jack", and still carries the name on and off the field.
In 1939 he went to Washington and Lee University as Line Coach. He stayed there through '41 before being called in to the Navy in '42 at Pensacola Naval Air Station. He coached and played center on the Base team. After 3V2 years of duty, he returned to Duke in '45 as assistant line coach and freshman coach.
Hennemier joined the Terp staff in 1949 and has coached the defensive football, a task he has mastered, evidenced by Maryland's outstanding de- fensive record each season. He assisted Tatum at the College All-Star camp this summer.
WARREN GIESE
After first playing ball for Tatum while in the Navy, Warren Giese, Terp's end coach, has stayed right on with his former Navy boss to become one of the finest students of the game and another fine representative of the Maryland coaching staff.
Giese co-authored with Tatum last sum- mer an exhaustive and informative football book, "Coaching Football and the Split-T." The book now is in its third printing.
In the summer of '52, he spent a month in Japan as a member of the U.S. Coaching Staff. This summer he assisted Tatum in the College All-Star camp.
A native of Milwaukee, Giese started his collegiate athletic career at Wisconsin State College. Here the Navy vet lettered playing end and also won his monogram as a quarter-miler.
Lender the V-12 program, Giese studied at Central Michigan College. Here he played right halfback before being transferred to Miami Training- Center and then to Jacksonville in '45 where he first played end for Tatum.
Giese went to Oklahoma in '46 with Tatum and won all Big Seven honors.
He returned to Central Michigan and played another year while completing his work for his B.A. and B.S. Degrees.
In '49, Tatum added his former star to the Terp staff. He received his Master's in Physical Education, and now is working on his Doctorate.
The Giese's have a one-year old daughter, Anne Allison.
TOMMY MONT
One of the greatest athletes in the history of the University of Maryland, Tommy Mont has been tutoring the Terp's fine backs since his return to his alma mater in the fall of I951-
A four-year letterman in football, basket- ball, and lacrosse, Mont returned to Maryland after four brilliant years with the professional Washington Redskins.
From Cumberland, Md., Mont started his collegiate athletic career in 1941- He was in school two years before entering the service in the spring of '43. He played tailback in '41, then quarterback 011 the '42 T eleven. Both years he also won his basketball and lacrosse monograms. Mont won all-America mention as well as first team all-Conference and the Washington-Maryland outstanding college player awards in 1942.
Serving 42 months in the Army, 18 of which were spent in the ETO, Mont continued playing ball. He was tailback on the Fort Benning post championship team of '43. As quarterback and head coach, he led the 3rd Infantry team to the ETO championship. He also was at the helm of the 7th Army All-Star team.
Returning to Maryland following his discharge, Mont was quarterback of the '46 team as he gained all-America mention and all-Conference honors.
In the summer of '^3, he spent three weeks as an advisory coach at Na- tional Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City and returned this summer.
The Mont's have three sons; Steve, Jeff, and Danny.
VERNON SEIBERT
Another Terp alumnus to return to his alma mater as an assistant coach. Seibert re- turned in 1951 to the scene of his undergradu- ate playing days when he was an outstanding halfback.
In his four seasons of varsity competition, he played offense three years and defense his final year. He is best remembered for his great defensive play which tabs him as one of the finest safety men ever to play for Mary- land.
Tatum called on his former wiry backfield star from Baltimore Junior College where he had coached football and lacrosse for a year following his graduation.
He was a B-25 pilot in the South Pacific during World War II.
Besides his coaching duties, Seibert is in charge of conces letic events. He also handles the football film library.
A son, Christopher, one and one-half years old, is the Se
sions ibert's
only
th-
child.
He majored in Real Estate
BOB WARD
When Bob Ward, the all-time great name
in the history of the University of Maryland
football graduated, Coach Tatum immediately
found a place on his staff for his two-year
all-American guard. He wanted Ward to
teach others to be as much like he was on and
off the field.
Following his discharge from the Army
paratroopers in 1947, Ward came to Maryland
as one of the smallest guard prospects ever
seen by Jim Tatum. But Tatum liked what he
saw and now is more than happy that Ward
was on his side of the line for four years.
The 185-pounder from Elizabeth, N. J., was
outstanding every Saturday for the Terps. Ward graduated in 1952 with a degree from
the School of Business and Public Administra- tion, finishing in the upper one-third of the class, and Insurance.
His many honors are too numerous to mention, but Ward was recipient of every award immaginable for any lineman. After making All-America his junior year for his excellent defensive play, he proved that he wasn't just an ordinary platoon football player by making everybody's All-America team in 1951 playing offense. Tatum himself credits the great success of his of- fensive team, highest scoring machine in the country, to his '51 Co-Captain, Bob Ward. When things got real tough for the Terps, Ward would trot in to play defense and stop the enemy threat.
Besides the unanimous All-America selections his senior year, Ward was named "Lineman of the Year" by the Washington Touchdown Club and the Philadelphia Sportswriters' Assn. Pie was runnerup to Stanford's Bill Mc- Coll for the same Associated Press award. He was named the outstanding player of the Southern Conference. During the '51 season, he was the nation's "Lineman of the Week", after his great game against Georgia, played with a broken hand.
The Wards have three children, two boys, Jim, 4, and Bob, Jr., 1, and a daughter, Kathie, three years old. EMMETT CHEEK
A graduate of North Carolina, Cheek joined the Terp coaching staff in 1951.
Born and raised in Chapel Hill, home of his alma mater, Cheek played in 1940 as a fresh- man for Coach Tatum, then Tarheel freshman coach, as a guard. After another year of football, he was called into the service in '41, and served in the Army Medics. .
Returning to Carolina, Cheek completed his football career under Carl Snavely. He stayed on and did graduate work in '48. He received his Master's Degree in Physical Edu- cation from UNC in 1950.
Prior to his accepting the Maryland post, Cheek was line coach and baseball coach in '49 and '50 at Guilford College, N. C.
Besides his coaching duties, he is an in- structor in the Physical Education Department. Tommy.
The Cheeks' have one son,
EDDIE TEAGUE
An outstanding three-sport athlete at N. C- State and University of North Carolina, Teague was added to the Terp staff in 1952.
Tatum brought the Tarheel graduate to Maryland following his discharge in mid- August of '52 from the U. S. Marine Corps after serving 15 months in Korea with the Infantry, 1st Marine Division. A Captain in the USMCR, he served three years during World War II.
Teague attended N. C. State College, 1941- 43, then transferred to UNC via his Marine Unit and received his A.B. Degree. Lettering in football, basketball, and baseball, he re- ceived Ail-American mention his senior year at UNC as a tailback and also was named to the All-Conference team that year.
Following his World War II service, he returned to UNC and got his Master's in '47.
He then went to Guilford College, N. C, as backfield coach and assist- ant director of physical education in 1947 and '48. He was head coach and athletic director 1949-51 ; then was called to active duty-
Teague now is studying for his Doctor's Degree. He also teaches in the School of Physical Education.
The Teague's have a daughter, Peggy, six.
BILL "Whitey" DOVELL Freshman Coach
A guard on the Terp teams of '49 and '50, the "blonde buster" from Redbank, N. J. stayed on to help coach in the fall while com- pleting his work for B-A- in Physical Educa- tion.
Tatum was so pleased with his handling various coaching duties that he gave him full- time job as freshman coach last fall.
Dovell did one of the most outstanding jobs on any Baby Terp eleven, one of the best in many years at College Park. Their only regu- lar season loss was to a pro-studded Bainbridge Navy team. They compiled victories over the Navy Plebes, first in Maryland history, Vir- ginia and George Washington. All three were supposed to have had their finest yearling squads in a long time.

THE TRAINERS
ALFRED J. "DUKE" WYRE
When Tatum came to Maryland in 1947 ^e set out to get a top trainer and that he did in the long training experienced Duke Wyre. Today, Wyre is considered one of the top athletic trainers in the country. This will be his eighth year as the good doctor of Terp athletes. *"V |J
"Duke" has many years of experience t<> kick his reputation. He has authored several training "a.^»
manuals and is kept busy spreading the good word of the best methods of training athletic teams through many lectures. :4,
An Ivy-Leaguer, "Duke" was trainer at Yale ,11

Duke and his assistant, John Lacey, pride themselves in haying one of the best equipped training rooms in the country.
JOHN LACEY
The Terp's first full-time assistant trainer is the popular and capable John Lacy, a long time friend of trainer Duke Wyre. Lacy came to Col- lege Park in the summer of '51.
A native of Connecticut, Lacy studied and graduated from Tilton Academy in New Hamp- shire.
He too has had vast experience with athletic teams. Before coming to Maryland, Lacey was assistant trainer at Yale for three years. He also has had long experience with pro teams.

THE 1954 TERPS
University of Maryland's 1954 football team has a big job cut out for itself in more ways than one. Not only are they faced with another tough schedule, one that includes five Atlantic Coast Conference teams, a Southern Conference opponent, and four top intersectional battles, but they must make the big effort to defend the 1953 National Championship title it was voted unanimously last season after completing the only major schedule in the country unbeaten and untied. Too, Terp Coach, Jim Tatum, voted the 1953 "Coach of the Year" by his colleagues, must try to keep himself in the usual high esteem of the nation's coaches with another winning season.
What sort of formula has Tatum and his staff concocted for the 1954 product? It is no concealed fact that the Terps lost seven of their starting 11 from the national championship team, plus two other top substitutes. Missing will be the all-time backfieid foursome in Maryland history: All-America quarterback Bernie Faloney, all-America halfback Chester Hanulak who also was the nation's leading ground gainer per carry last season; halfback Dick Nolan, and fullback Ralph Felton. Up front, two great tackles, all-America Stan Jones and Bob "Blubber'' Morgan are gone along with a great two-way end Marty Crytzer. Center Charlie Lattimer and end Fred Heffner also have graduated.
"We will be just as good offensively, with the defense, both up front and in the secondary, our biggest problem. A great job will be to find re- placements for Jones and Morgan at the tackle position. We have four fine boys coming back in Ray Blackburn, Tom Breunich, Ralph Baierl, and Tom McLuckie, so I think we should be able to find a good combination from these boys," Tatum said.
"We should have two of the finest ball players in the country in our Co-Captains, fullback Dick Bielski and center John Irvine. They are both great one-platoon players and form the nucleus of our backfieid and up front where Irvine is just like a coach on the field."
The Terp's halfbacks lend a big lift to the '54 team It is a fast back- field ; it could be faster than last year. They will be tops offensively but a shade lesser defensively. Quarterback Charlie Boxold, a great runner,passer, and play analyst is predicted to come into his own at the outset of the season. He will be backed up by Lynn Beightol and a fine-looking soph prospect, Frank Tamburello. The Terp halfbacks seniors Ronnie Waller and Joe Horning both have great experience offensively and defensively. Waller, playing in the shadows of Hanulak for two years, might be one of the nation's best. He could be a real national sleeper. Horning is a 10-second man and "sure" as they come on defense. They are backed up by most adequate one-platoon players in Dick Burgee, Eddie Vereb, John Weiciecow- ski and a host of fine sophs in Howard Dare, Ralph Hawkins, Harold Hull, John McVicker, and Jack Healy.
With the great all-around playing of Bielski insuring the fullback spot, the Terps have some boys behind him to take over in George Albrecht, Bill Komlo and Jim Skarda, the latter two upcoming sophs.
Maryland has one of the finest guard duos returning in George Pala- hunik and Jack Bowersox. Both are two-year veterans and last year played perfect ball both ways to establish themselves as real stars for this fall. With center Irvine and guards Palahunik and Bowersox, the Terps should have one of the finest "middles" of any line in the country. Junior Bob Pellegrini and Senior Dick Shipley, both lettermen lend outstanding support to the strong guard position. Soph Jack Davis is worth watching.
The real rookies of the team, but a definite strong point, are our ends. (Continued on page 62)

THE OUTLOOK FOR OUR OPPONENTS AS REPORTED BY THEIR PUBLICITY DIRECTORS
University of Kentucky
By Ken Kuhn
The road from Maryland to Tennessee in Kentucky's 1954 football trek could be one of the most difficult, ever experienced. With a new coach in the driver's seat, a squad lacking both physical size and general experience and a man-sized headache schedule, the Wildcats may find the going rather difficult this season. As if their other problems were not enough, some very big gaps were created with the departure of such standout contributors as Steve Meil- inger, the versatile All- America halfback-end-quarterback; Ray Correll, an All-America guard; Ralph Paolone, stellar fullback and leading ground gainer; and Joe Piatt, regular halfback who had an 8.3 average gain during the 1953 campaign.
All told 13 letter winners will be among the missing when the first col- legiate grid aggregation of Coach Blanton Collier takes the field against defending national champion Maryland next September. To plug the gaps and take up slack, twenty-two players return who won letters last season. Among them are five linemen and one back who started the Tennessee game climaxing Kentucky's great comeback season of 1953, but the missing links more than make up for what might be an optimistic look based on these returnees.
The line should be adequate except for a lack of depth. The backfield will not only be minus three starters who were the top ground starters and gainers last year, but the replacements will lack both experience and size. Quarterback Bob Hardy, who came out of nowhere to lead the Wildcats undefeated through their final eight games of the '53 season, will be the biggest at 190. His running mates in the "Pony" backfield are expected to be left half Dick Mitchell, 159; right half Dick Maloney, 175; and fullback Hayden Hooper, 168. Collier expects to retain the Split T style of attack and likely will rely on speed to make up his team's lack of size.

UCLA's Pacific Coast Conference football champions will again depend on one of the nation's outstanding lines for much of their 1954 success, despite loss of four Rose Bowl line starters and all the regular backfield.
Anchored by Left Tackle Jack Ellena and Right Guard Jim Salsbury, two All-America candidates, Coach Red Sanders' Bruin line again may prove stingy in giving up touchdowns. Both Ellena and Salsbury weigh in the neighborhood of 215 pounds.
The backfield, despite loss of Ail-American tailback Paul Cameron, may still be a versatile and colorful crew with 160-pound Primo Villanueva oper- ating at left half and a truly outstanding performer in Bob Davenport (193) at fullback. Other possible backfield starters include quarterback Terry Debay and either one-year vet Johnny Herman or Santa Clara University transfer Jim Decker at wingback.
In addition to the pass-conscious Villanueva, UCLA has several good- sized and promising wingmen, including Bob Heydenfeldt (6-2), Rommie Loudd (6-2%), Bob Long (6-4) and Johnny Smith (5-11).
Along with Ellena, Salsbury, the likes of left guard Sam Boghosian, center Johnny Peterson and right tackle Joe Ray should give the Westerners
a large, mobile front wall, behind which the famed Sanders balanced-line single wing attack can operate.
The contest between the Bruins and Maryland on the night of Oct I could result in a new national night attendance record. The old record of 97,802 was set last September in Philadelphia when Villanova and Georgia met. The previous high was at the 1946 UCLA-St. Mary's game, seen by 92,976 in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Wake Forest College
By Bill Hensley
The Demon Deacons of Wake Forest appeared headed for the football dumps last year but ended the season on a pleasant note by dumping heavily- favored South Carolina 19-13.
Wake Forest had a 3-6-1 record last year for its worst record since 1937, but the team which finally got rolling and upended the Gamecocks is back, with a few exceptions, and shows promise of a much better season in 1954.
Leading the way for the Deacons will be Bob Bartholomew, a block- busting tackle who is a leading candidate for All-America, and Quarterback- Joe White, a pass-minded field general who engineered the upset wins over South Carolina and Villanova.
Wake Forest will depend upon speed and experience. A number of sophomores will be counted upon in key positions but the starting eleven will be made up mostly of veterans who weathered the blues in 1953.
Coach Tom Rogers says "we will be better on defense and our offense will improve if we can use our speed to its best advantage."
Biggest losses are End Bob Ondilla, Halfback Bruce Hillenbrand and Quarterback Sonny George.
University of North Carolina
By Jake Wade
General over-all improvement is expected for the University of North Carolina football team in 1954-
Specifically, this team should have much more speed than recent Tar Heel editions. A considerably sharper passing attack is counted on. Indications are the line will be stouter and quicker.
Head Coach George Barclay will be disappointed if the Tar Heels do not win at least six games on the team's customary strong schedule and predicts that they will. Last }'ear they won four and lost six.
There is a general feeling that the Tar Heels are gradually working their way back to their former and traditionally high standing in the game.
Twenty-two lettermen are listed on the roster. The standouts among these veterans are left halfback Ken Keller, right halfback Connie Gravitte, guard Jimmy Neville and tackle Jack Maultsby.
Keller last year as a sophomore, despite being handicapped by injuries, was the team's best ground gainer in collecting 432 yards with a 5-2 yards-per- carry average. Gravitte was second in yards gained with 302, and had a 4.9 average. Both are dangerous, explosive runners, geared to go all the way with proper collaboration from their mates.
Guard Neville is one of the squad's most improved players. Maultsby, who weighs 220, should be the bulwark of the line and has promise of being one of the nation's really great tackles.
Larry Parker is a sound and solid senior back and Flo Worrell is a speedy veteran back, both strong fortifications in the ball carrying department.
Senior guard Ed Patterson, considered the team's best lineman last year, looks for another fine season but he has stong competition for a starting berth from junior Bill Koman, switched from center.
Most promising sophomores are fullback Larry McMullen, 200 but fast; end Darden Livesay (194 and 6-2) ; tackle John Bilich (210 and 6-3) ; and center George Stavnitski (210 and 6-1). All are challenging for starting posi- tions.
Quarterback is still a moot position, as it has been since the Split-T at- tack was installed here two years ago. Three lettermen quarterbacks are Marshall Newman, Albert Long and Len Bullock. The latter had to miss spring practice as the result of an operation. Newman, a great defensive player, and Long, flashier at the ball handling job, likely will alternate at running the team.
Improving passing is expected because Newman has developed a better passing touch and the receivers looked sharper in the spring. Ends Will Frye, Dick Starner, Larry Muschamp and Darden Liversay are all skilled receivers, along with halfbacks Connie Gravitte and Ken Keller.
University of Miami
By George Gallett
University of Miami, holding a 4-5 record in 1953, will be much stronger in 1954. Freshmen and sophomores of 1953 who were busy routing veterans out of their jobs during the week and then making game-losing mistakes on weekends, have now become poised veterans on their own.
Twenty-three lettermen return from 1953, Pms Carl Garrigus, a 1952 letterman who was out for all save five minutes of the 1953 campaign. They give the Hurricanes two lettermen for every position save tackle, where three lettermen are available for the four first two tarn spots.
The troublesome quarterback spots of the last two years seem solved by the return to action of Garrigus, and the availability of Mario Bonofiglio, a colorful guy who is a terrific runner and triple-threat back. Bosseler, a fleet 200 pound sophomore, should be one of the south's better backs. Gordon Malloy, senior, who moves to left halfback, will be better at that post than at fullback, where he played last year.
Miami's 1953 ends were rated among the best of the country. They're all back plus some late developing replacements. The guards, green a year ago, now have savvy. Tackles will be a shade better. Mike Hudock, idle last year, is a jolting center who may crowd Ernest Tobey off the first team — and Tobey was voted the most valuable lineman on the 1953 squad.
Coach Andy Gustafson believes this team will have the best offense Miami has been able to muster since 1950. In addition to that, it is faster, heavier, and more spirited than recent Miami clubs.
One thing is certain. Miami will have its greatest running attack in years.
University of South Carolina
By Don Barton
Despite the loss of such standouts as Quarterback Johnny Gramling, End Clyde Bennett, Halfback Gene Wilson, Guard Bob King, and others, prospects are for another strong team at Carolina. The Gamecocks face a tougher schedule in 1954, however, meeting nine of the ten teams on the '53 schedule and replacing Wofford with Army.
Leading the Gamecocks into the season will be Co-Captains Bill Wohr-
man, fullback and voted the most outstanding blocker in the ACC last year, and Tackle Harry Lovell.
Nineteen lettermen return from the 1953 team, including such standouts as All-America center candidate Leon Cunningham and Guard Frank (The Friendly Bear) Mincevich.
Defensively, the team should be as well off as it was last year, but on offense there might be a drop. Gramling's passing will be missed, along with the running of Wilson and Halfback Blackie Kincaid.
Harold Lewis is the probable successor to Gramling at quarterback, where depth is lacking. Sophomore Mackie Prickett is coming along gradually in that position.
The halfbacks will be well set for offense, with hard-running Mike Caskey on the left and shifty Carl Brazell on the right. Both averaged over six yards per try last season. Bobby Drawdy, who bohunked last season to learn defense, Bill Tarrer, and dashman Tommy Woodlee figure in as leading replacements.
Wohrman has fullback competition from big Ed Adams, a 220-pound transfer student from Baltimore, Md. Adams runs hard and at the worst will be an adequate reserve.
Don Sehulster, who didn't play much last season was a pleasant surprise at end in winter practice. He may be the starter on the left side, with Larry Gosnell on the right. Lettermen Joe Silas and Spec Granger will be breath- ing down the necks of those two for starting positions. Leading sophomore hopes are Julius Derrick, Joe Frederick and Billy Rivers.
Lovell and Hugh Merck, an all-state choice in 1953, 'ead the tackle returnees. Behind them are lettermen Gene Kopec and Bob Schwartz, two dependables. Sophomores Jack Salsibury and Sam DeLuca figure to rise to contention during the first weeks of fall practice.
Mincevich appears headed for his best year at left guard, and Dick Cov- ington, a rising junior, came into his own at right guard during winter prac- tice. Covington moved ahead of Joe DeFore, who played right behind King last season.
The center situation is in good hands, with Cunningham pointing for another good season. Cunningham made all of the all-conference teams the past two years. Hugh Bell would make a fine first-team center, if Cunning- ham were not around, and the position will be in good hands whenever he is called upon. Dick Camilucci, a transfer student, looks like a real prospect for the future.
North Carolina State
By Ed Storey
Earle Edwards, former end coach at Michigan State, has begun the re- building of North Carolina State's football fortunes and while there is evi- dence that the Wolfpack of 1954 will be improved over last year, Edwards is by no means a miracle man. Edwards assumed the reins of State football on Feb. 9 under a new three-year contract.
The first task of the new regime was to install a new system of attack, which is based on the Michigan State-style of play, commonly called a "mul- tiple offense". The system is devised to use the best features of three forma- tions— ie — single-wing, double-wing and T-formation, which operates from the unbalanced line. Last year the Wolfpack utilized the split T.
Several newcomers are certain to play a big part in the 1954 play- Quarterback Billy Franklin of Farmville, Va. turned in an excellent job at
quarterback in spring drills and shows promise of becoming a capable passer. Eddie West, who held the job regularly last year, was unable to participate in the spring game because of a shoulder injury sustained in the final game of last season.
Other backs who were impressive in the spring game were Fullback Don Langston, Halfbacks Bill Teer and Ed Gelsdorf, Ted Kilyk and John Zubaty. Langston should be one of the best backs in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He has led the team in rushing for the last two years and his up-coming senior season should be his best. He is the fastest man on the team and has plenty of hitting power.
Two backs who did not play in the spring game should be key men in next season's plans. Halfback Monte Seehorn was kept out with an ankle injury, but he had been one of the leaders in early drills. Harrison Mac- Keever, a rising soph, can be of extensive value as Langston's understudy at fullback.
The line has capable lettermen returning from last year, but not much depth. Several players were unable to play in the spring game, including All-State Guard Al D'Angelo, perhaps the best lineman on the squad, who was out with a broken arm. D'Angelo, Soph Darrell Dess, Seniors Bud Davis and Jim Frazier, converted fullback Mike Nordone and John Szuchan should handle the guards. John Bagonis, who was out of school last year, is due to return. This perhaps is the strongest line post.
The tackles are a bit questionable. C. M. Price and Ben Kapp look like the leaders with capable support from Tony Leone, Hank Spivey, Ken Urgo- vitch and Bob Dunnigan.
The center and end positions are problems. Only Dick Tonn has seen much service at the pivot of the line and his replacements are question marks. Four capable ends were graduated last year and the ranks are thin this season.
That the overall picture is improved over 1953 does not indicate that there will be any great improvement in the won-lost record. The opposition ap- pears to be equally as rough as last season with such teams as Maryland, Duke and West Virginia due to be national powers, a tagline certainly not due to be State's lot in 1954.
Clemson College
By Breat Breedix
A more versatile offense, added depth and experience are the reasons for optimism in the Clemson football camp as the 1954 season approaches.
In their second year as a T-formation team, Coach Frank Howard's Tigers showed anywhere from a 100 per cent to 400 per cent improvement on offense _ in spring practice — or so observers from other schools said after witnessing the conclusion to Clemson's successful out-of-season drills.
Don King, rated best T-quarterback in the nation by manv but better remembered by Maryland players for his great defensive play in 1953. will have plenty of help in the Clemson backfield. Billy O'Dell will" be at fullback, Jim Coleman at right half and Buck George at left half. All four positions have three-team depth of a reliable nature.
In the line, only losses off the 1953 team were Co-Captains Dreher Gaskin and Nathan. Expected to start the season are Scott Jackson and Walt Lara- way at_ the ends, Clyde White and Tommy Mattos at the tackles, Mark Kane and Dick DeSimone at the guards and Hampton Hunter at center. All but DeSimon are lettermen.
George Washington University
By Frank Continetti
George Washington football is definitely on the upswing. Head Coach Eugene "Bo" Sherman, the most successful grid mentor to arrive on the GW scene in over a decade, will greet what shapes up as one of his better squads wnen pre-season drills open beprember 1st.
With lettermen returning to man every backfield position and four top flight ends on hand the Colonials should improve on their 5-4 record of last season. The front line situation, from tackle to tackle, finds two battle tested veterans returning, bpring drills revealed that sophomore linemen are ready to fill in where needed.
Sherman will not be lacking in line busters with three fullbacks ready to go. Tops among this group is Co-Captain Norb "Dutch" Danz, a proven power runner. Joe Boland and Jim Naddeo will share duties with Danz. Billy Weaver, the most versatile youngster on the team, has one halfback spot all to himself. Len Ciemnecki, Skinny Saffer, Lou Donofrio and Bo Austin are all battling for the other running slot. All letter winners save Austin who comes up from the frosh unit with loud recommendations.
The flanks will be capably handled by an all veteran contingent of Richie Gaskell, All- Southern Conference and Honorable Mention All-America in 'S3', Co-Captain Pat Kober, a vicious defense man, Jack Daly and George Dancu will fill in nicely when Gaskell and Kober need a breather. Dick Gasperi, the most proven "inside" lineman on the squad, will man the center position while John Ziamandanis, another veteran, has tabs on one tackle post.
University of Missouri
By Bill Callahan
The forecast is for a good, veteran football team at Missouri in 1954.
With 19 lettermen due back, the Tigers of Don Faurot still are not deep- ly rooted at all positions. The backfield picture looks quite secure, with three senior quarterbacks returning, and with experienced depth evident at the other ball-carrying slots.
But you still win football games in the line, and Mizzou's backlog of seasoned hefties, after the probable starters are checked off, is not too re- assuring. Guard and tackle stations appear to be the most short-handed.
However, Faurot's T-sprung gridmen — who tied Kansas State for sec- ond place in the conference last year — could improve on 1953's overall 6-4 showing — if their solid core of seniors plays up to expectations.
The Missourians will rely heavily on veteran leadership and savvy to do battle with a stiff intersectional line-up (Purdue, S.M.U., Indiana and Maryland) — and with Big Seven foes.
Seniors — mostly from the group who were eligible for varsity competi- tion as freshmen in 1951 — could take over nine of M.U.'s starting berths. Not more than a half-dozen rookies, off a freshman team that was twice beaten, are likely to help the varsity this year.
Mizzou's No. 1 backfield could be all-senior — with Vic Eaton rating the early-September edge over Tony Scardino at quarterback; Jerry Schoon- maker, ail-American baseball outfielder at left half ; lefty Jack Fox at right half ; and rugged Bob Bauman at fullback.
Starters in the line probably will have : Pete Corpeny and Jack Hurley, ends ; Charley Bull and Al Portney, tackles ; Terry Roberts and Jake Shiveley, guards and Ton}7 Karakas, center.
Bauman at fullback, and linebacker Roberts, won all-Big Seven laurels last year.

THUMBNAILS OF MARYLAND GAMES— 1953
MISSOURI
The University of Maryland opened its season against a strong Missouri team and for the first time in three years were considered underdogs by betting fraternity. The game was quickly taken in hand by the Terps when Chet (the jet) Hanulak burst through the middle of Missouri's line and sped 65 yeards for a touchdown on the second play from scrimmage. Missouri came back strong and using a short passing attack marched for a td but missed the extra point. The half ended 7-6 with Maryland in charge. The Terrapins came back strong and stomped the length of the field at the outset of the third quarter to take a 14-6 lead. Playing a possession game throughout the third and fourth quarters, Maryland controlled the game, scoring on the last play when reserve quarter- back Charlie Boxold and fourth string end Jim Kilgallen, who almost didn't make the trip teamed up for a 17-yard td pass play. The teacher Don Faurot had lost to his pupil Jim Tatum for the fourth straight time. One-platoon made its debut here and Bernie Faloney played 58 minutes and 15 seconds.
MARYLAND 7 0 0 13—20 Touchdowns: Hanulak, Faloney, Kilgallen
MISSOURI 0 6 0 0—6 PAT: Felton, Bielski
WASHINGTON AND LEE
Maryland opened its home stand against a courageous but outmanned band of "Little Generals." Using reserves liborally, the score still mounted to a hefty 52-0. Ronnie Waller, second team left halfback, had a field day returning punts and kickoffs and averaging 12.5 yards every time he carried the ball from scrimmage. His great effort netted him three touchdowns and the crowd left wondering how this speedster could be kept out of the starting lineup but in subsequent games soon discovered why in Hanulak. Washington and Lee was the first of six opponents destined to be held scoreless by the strong Terp defense.

CLEMSON
Maryland scouts reported that Clemson had one of the largest teams the Terps would face this season and a tough battle was anticipated. The Clemson Tigers lived up to ex- pectations and fought a terrific defensive battle during the first half, which ended 7-0. Maryland got this with an 88-yard opening kickoff return by Bernie Faloney. The Terps came back back strong in the third period. Faloney passed to Dick Nolan for a 65-yard scoring play. The Clemson team was handicapped in its offensive efforts due to the loss of their star quarterback Don Kins: at the end of the first half but surged back to threat- en the Terp goal line. Late in the fourth quarter, Clemson punted to Maryland's Dick Nolan who took the ball on the 10-yard line and behind beautiful blocking, Nolan "cake- walked" 90 yards through the entire Tiger team to end the scoring with Maryland in command, 20-20.
MARYLAND 7 0 7 6 — 20 Tounchdowns: Nolan (2); Faloney
CLEMSON 0 0 0 0—0 PAT: Felton, Bielski
GEORGIA
Maryland's fourth opponent was tough Southeastern Conference Georgia. The Terps quickly took charge with Faloney passing to right end Bill Walker for 18 yards and a td. After an exchange of punts. Faloney opened the throttle once again and using the bull-like rushes of Ralph Felton, fullback, to approach the Georgia goal line, Faloney drove over. Georgia at this point opened up and gave the partisan Maryland crowd many anxious moments with their beautiful passing. They scored on a Zeke Bratkowski to Johnny Carson pass of nine yards.
Faloney, putting in his strongest bid of the season for all-America honors which he was to receive at the end of the campaign, then rallied the Terps to a 92-yard drive climaxed by his second td toss of the half, a 24-yard strike to his right halfback Dick Nolan. The Bulldogs were not to be denied and near the end of the half, thrilled the crowd with another score, a three-yard jaunt by Jimmy Campagna. The drive featured the great Bratkowski-Carson combination, both on the Terp's all-opponent eleven.
— 43 —
Still very much in the game, Wally Butts' boys came back with the second half kickoff and started right off with Bratkowski's great right arm. But Faloney was "johnny-on-the- spot" proving why he is one of the game's outstanding defensive backs when he snagged the second attempt and went 35 yards for the fourth Terp score. Following the kickoff, center John Irvine picked oil another Georgia pass and that set up the Terps' fifth td with Hanulak hot-footing it the last 12 yards. The big Red and White was to add another in the third period when Ed Vereb, second string right halfback, bulled his way for six yards and the 39th point. Dick "Collegiate Toe' Bielski added the 40th and final point. The fourth stanza, with all the reserves sprinkled into the lineup liberally, was scoreless. Faloney was runnerup for national honors as the nation's "Back of the Week" for his great performance, his fourth in a row.

NORTH CAROLINA
The University of North Carolina Tarheels, riding the crest of a three game winning streak, were next to lock horns with the Maryland juggernaut. Coach Jim Tatum was fearful that his ball club might let down after its convincing 40-13 win over strong Georgia. His fears proved groundless for the Terps ran and passed to a convincing 26-0 victory. Charlie Boxold, second string signal-caller, emerged as the game's top ground gainer hitting four out of five passes for a total of 97 yards and adding three more run- ning for a total of 100 yards. Faloney and Hanulak had done a great job before retiring to the bench. Late in the game North Carolina had the ball on the Terps' six-yard line with first down but couldn't push it over. As all season, the great line play was led by All-America tackle Stan Jones and tackle Blubber Morgan, center John Irvine, guards Jack Bowersox and George Palahunik and ends Marty Crytzer and Bill Walker. Faloney, Felton. Waller and end Russell Dennis scored. Faloney was again runner-up to the nation's "Back of the Week."

MIAMI (FLA)
With talk that this is the team that will return to the Orange Bowl Stadium come January 1 the Terps put on a convincing show for the Miamians as they made real pro- phets out of their supporting cast of the "fourth-estate." With electrifying pace, the Terps made their breaks as any good ball team will do and put 20 points on the huge Orange Bowl scoreboard in the first quarter. First Hanulak scored on a handoff, then Faloney hit Marty Crytzer in the end zone with an 8-yard td pass, then Felton drove a yard for the third score. In the second quarter, Ronnie Waller, second team left halfback, racked up the fourth and final td. Fullback Dick Bielski booted his first of three field goals for the season in the final chapter to give the Terps a 30-0 victory.

SOUTH CAROLINA
The Gamecocks from Columbia came to the Terps' Homecoming with only one loss and that a 20-7 defeat by Duke in the season's opener. The game was one of the finest played by each team during the season. The Terps again rolled on the ground passing only eight times. The Carolina backs could get only 37 net yards from the big Maryland line so passed 23 times for 12 completions and 122 yards. As in every game, Tatum' s terrible Terps got off to a first period lead, scoring twice. Fullback Ralph Felton hurdled the line for the final yard for the first score and Chet (the jet) Hanulak took a punt and streaked 66 yeards for the second td in the opening quarter. Dick "Collegiate Toe'' Bielski put his toe into the ball for a 40-yard field goal in the second period to give the Terps a 17-0 lead. South Carolina, on Johnny Gramling's sensational passing, earned a score when Bill Wohrman went the final yard, leaving the score 17-6 at half-time.
After a scoreless third quarter, the Maryland reserves took over and Ed Vereb scored the final touchdown early in the final chapter from six yards out.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
With snow shoveled knee deep along the sidelines but the field dry, Maryland went after its eighth straight win, and got it. over cross-town rival George Washington. The Terps met another underdog team whirh refused to take the title lightlv as they put up a fine scrap against the all-conquering Terrapins. At the end of the first half it was a 7-6
game favoring Maryland. Fullback Ralph Felton had scored from the two-yard line in the first period after Faloney and Hanulak, the big hero of the victory, had worked a 40-yard pass play. The Colonials scored late in the second quarter after a pass inter- ception. Bill Weaver passed 16 yards to end Richie Gaskell in the end zone. The Terps came back in the third period with Hanulak scampering 38 yards. The third td came after Faloney recovered a fumble then scored on a 3-yard sneak.
The final score came when third-string halfback Joe Horning went around left end for 11 yards and the final points.
The Terps moved for 241 yards, more than 1/-3 of it by the fleet and nimble Hanulak from Hackensack who picked up 86 yards rushing. The almost impregnable Terp defense limited the Colonials to 33 yards net rushing.
MARYLAND 7 0 13 7 — 27 Touchdowns: Felton, Hanulak, Faloney,
G. WASHINGTON 0 6 0 0—6 Horning
PAT: Felton (2); Bielski
MISSISSIPPI
This was the big one for Tatum and his highly-touted team. The Rebels had broken Maryland's streak of 19 straight and 22 with defeat a year ago at Oxford and were the leading team of the SEC as they came into College Park. Needless to say, Tatum and the team were "high as a kite." Final score: Maryland: 38; Mississippi: 0.
Bernie Faloney was named the nation's "Back of the Week" for his great per- formance. Hanulak had another field day with 76 yards in five carries. The first period was scoreless as each team played cautiously. Then the flood gates broke wide open as the Terps put 24 points on tha scoreboard in the second quarter. Faloney scored the first two, one a yard sneak, and the other a nine yard jaunt through center. Ralph Felton showed why he was one of the best fullbacks in the game when he bulled his way into the open then went 42 yards for the third score with the help of the prettiest block of the season by sub halfback Ronnie Waller. With 1 second left in the half, Bielski kicked his third field goal of the year, 37 yards from scrimmage which is 47 with the 10-yard end zone. After a 0-0 third quarter, third string qb Lynn Beightol sneaked for a yard and the fourth touchdown. The final score came on a 31-yard dash by fullback Bielski. The Terps remained undefeated and untied and had tagged the second loss of the season on the Rebels who had entertained visions of a bowl bid.

ALABAMA
With the largest crowd of the season looking on, a full-house of 36,000, Maryland took strong Alabama 21-0 to end the season as the only major undefeated and untied eleven in the nation. They also took over the top spot in the national polls and were a week later to win the National championship. This was the second undefeated team for Tatum in the last three years. The Terps had lost only two games in the past three years. Mississippi and Alabama. The Crimson Tide had just beaten Georgia Tech and were showing their usual November surge. The win was a costly one for Faloney as he suffered an injury before the half ended and could not return to the game.
The Terps put the game on ice early as Hanulak exploded on the second offensive thrust of the game and went 81 yards untouched into the land of milk and honey. Fol- lowing an exchange with the Red Elephants, Faloney and Hanulak took the Terps from near their end zone and Faloney connected with end Bill Walker for a 52 yard td pass. Faloney had been injured two plays before he pitched the strike but stayed in the game. After another exchange with 'Bama, Faloney hit Hanulak with a 22-yard pass and there was hit hard and had to be taken off the field. Charley Boxold came in and in a couple of plays got the Terps to the 25 where he threw a payoff pitch, again to Walker.
The second half saw Boxold and his mates threatening but a mistake always stopped the drive. Red Drew's team threatened five times within the 10-yard line and each time was held by a great Maryland defense.
They could get only 96 net yards from the nation's stingiest team on the ground. Bill Walker, a soph, gained "Lineman of the Week" honors for a great offensive and defensive game and Faloney and Hanulak were high on the list for "Back of the Week" honors. Hanulak closed his brilliant career with 132 yards in 10 carries, giving him a 9.8 average for each time he carried during the season, tops in the nation.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY
The history of the present University is the history of two institutions: the old privately-owned and operated University of Maryland in Baltimore and the Maryland State College (formerly Maryland Agricultural College) at College Park. These institutions were merged in 1920.
In 1807, the College of Medicine of Maryland was organized, the fifth medical school in the United States. The first class was graduated in 1810. A permanent home was established in 181-J-1815 by the erection of the build- ing at Lombard and Green Streets in Baltimore, the oldest structure in America devoted to medical teaching. Here \va« founded one of the first medical libraries (and the first medical school library) in the United States. In 1812 the General Assembly of Maryland authorized the College of Medicine of Maryland to "annex or constitute facilities of divinity, law, and arts and sciences," and by the same act declared that the "colleges or faculties thus united should be constituted an university by the name and under the title of the University of Maryland." By authority of this act, steps were taken in 1813 to establish "a faculty of law," and in 1823 a regular school of instruction in law was opened. Subsequently there were added: in 1882 a Department of Dentistry which was absorbed in 1923 by the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery (founded in 1840, the first dental school in the world); in 1889 a School of Nursing ; and in 1904 the Maryland College of Pharmacy (founded in 1841, the t':ird oldest pharmacy college in the United States).
The Maryland State College was chartered in 1856 under the name of the Maryland Agricultural College, the second agricultural college in the Western Hemisphere. For three years the College was under private manage- ment. In 1862 the Congress of the United States passed the Land Grant Act This act granted each State and Territory that should claim its benefits an appropriate amount of unclaimed western lands, in place of scrip, the proceeds from the sale of which should apply under certain conditions to the "endow- ment, support, and maintenance of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such a manner as the Legislatures of the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." This grant was accepted by the General Assembly of Maryland, and the Maryland Agricultural College was named as the beneficiary of the grant. Thus the College became, at least in part, a State institution. In the fall of 1014 control was taken over entirely by the State. In iqiS the General Assembly granted a new charter to the College, and made it the Maryland State College.
In 1920, by an act of the State Legislature, the University of Maryland was merged with the Maryland State College, and the resultant institution was given the name University of Maryland.

(Continued from Page 15) All were sophs last year, so go into the '54 season with a year's experience behind them. One of the nation's finest is Bill Walker, whose 6-0 on 185 pounds gives him the appearance of anything but an end. Walker was selected as honorable mention all-America for his great play last season and after the Alabama game was selected AP's Lineman of the Week for his brilliant performance. At the other end is Russell Dennis, a fine receiver and good defensively. Tim Flynn, Jim Parsons, and Paul Kramer complete the five top boys who make up one of the finest corps of ends Maryland has had in a long time.
With the expected breaks that come in a football game, and not too many unexpected ones, Maryland could make good its great challenge as defending National Champions.
"IT HAPPENED IN '53"
Maryland won its first National Intercollegiate Football Championship, unanimously.
Jim Tatum, Terp coach, was overwhelmingly voted "1953 Coach of the Year" by fellow members of the American Football Coaches' Association. Runnerup was UCLA'S Henry (Red) Sanders. Tatum polled 151 first place votes to in for Sanders.
^i ifi :£ ^
Maryland produced its second All-America quarterback in two years in Bernie Faloney who succeeded the 1052 all-America signal caller, Jack Scar- bath.
Maryland was the only major college team to go through the season unbeaten and untied with its 10-0-0 record.
* * * *
Bernie Faloney, the Terp's all-America quarterback, also was named the "Most Valuable Player" of the new-born Atlantic Coast Conference.
^ ♦ * *
Twenty-nine victories out of their last 31 starts was the Terps' three-year scoreboard reading after the finale with Alabama.
Chet (the jet) Hanulak, the Terps' all-time halfback with the self-starter who made a couple all-America teams along with unanimous teammate choices Bernie Faloney and Stan Jones, was the nation's leading ground gainer per carry with a 9.8 average per carry. In 77 carries, "Hanulak from Hacken- sack" streaked 733 yards.
;£ :jr :}c ;$:
With its rock-ribbed defense, University of Maryland led the nation in rushing defense, permitting the opposing ten teams a meager 83.9 yards per game.
The Terps announced a home-and-home series with UCLA, making their first trip to the West Coast in school's history for a Friday night October 1 game. The opposing coaches were 1-2 in the Coach of the Year poll; Tatum winning on record ballot.
* * * *
Governor Theodore R. McKeldin of the Free State, in a letter to Coach Jim Tatum, praised the Terp grid-master as a "magnificent" coach and thanked him for "bringing high honor and renown to the State."
The 1953 Terrapins brought the second perfect season in three years to the College Park campus. The '51 eleven had a 9-0-0 regular season record.
Of the four teams that scored on the '53 Terps, only Georgia crossed the double stripe more than once. Final : Maryland 40 ; Georgia, 13.
zfc $z $z s}:
Stan Jones, the second unanimous all-America tackle at Maryland in two years, was named "Lineman of the Year" by COLLIER'S and the Washing- ton Touchdown Club. He was second to Oklahoma's J. D. Roberts in the AP lineman poll.
* * # *
Maryland allowed only 2.32 yards per play to its 10 opponents last season.
Center John Irvine and Fullback Dick Bielski, both outstanding for the Terps for the second consecutive year were named co-Captains by their team- mates. Ironically, they are Terps' "best bets" in '54; both all-America candi- dates.
* * * *
Maryland, which held 10 opponents to an average of 83.9 yards a game, to top the nation's teams in rushing defense, has a five year, 47-game average of 94.3. No other team is under the 100-yard figure for the 1949-54 span.
* * * *
Dick Bielski, all-America fullback candidate, was tagged the "Collegiate Toe." The swarthy Bielski kicked two 40-yard plus three-pointers and hit high mark with a 47-yard effort against South Carolina.
Limiting their ten opponents to 193.2 total yards per game placed the Terps the third best total defense ranking in the nation.
Maryland averaged 359.5 total yards per game last season, sixth best in the country. 593 offensive plays netted the National Champions 3595 yards.
* # # #
Seven of the nine seniors on the '53 team were drafted by the profes- sionals. An eighth, end Marty Crytzer would have been sought by the "play- for-pay" clubs, but he made known his intentions to enter the Maryland Dental School before the draft.

The Terps were never scored on in the first, third, or fourth periods in their all-winning 10-game slate. All 31 points made by the four teams that did score on the Red and White were registered in the second period. (Ed. Note: In '54, January 1, the Oklahoma Sooners won the Orange Bowl with their seven points in the second stanza.)
2$: ^ 3(C ^
Maryland was never behind or tied in winning the National title in '53.
The nation's only sophomore to be honored as AP's "Lineman of the Week" was the Terps' standout end Bill Walker for his great play against
Alabama.

Jim Tatum was hospitalized first week of practice in September with a kidney stone. Out of the hospital three days before the Missouri opener, Tatum made the flight with the team to St. Louis and had to be taken to Columbia in an ambulance.

With the return to one-platoon football, Bernie Faloney, Terp all-America quarterback, played the most consecutive time in one game, 58 minutes and 15 seconds in the Missouri opener.
Maryland ran its streak of scoring in every game to 51; a string that went back to next-to-last game of 1948 when they were shut-out by Vander- bilt, 34-0. The scoring record was broken the first day of '54 in the Orange Bowl by Oklahoma.
Dick Bielski, the "Collegiate Toe" and the Terps' all-America fullback candidate, failed to put the ball in the end zone only twice out of 27 kick-offs. He kicked three booming field goals and had 12-14 extra points.
