Customs and Spirit
From bronze Testudo keeping
guard in front of the Coliseum to the
chimes in the tower of the Old En-
gineering Building, Maryland's cam-
pus stands as a tribute to higher edu-
cation. As one of the oldest universi-
ties in the United States, it is steeped
in spirit and tradition. The Tunnel,
the Wishing ^ ell, the historic Ross-
borough Inn, all are part of that
tradition. They will be a part of your
college career. The friendly "Hello
Habit" which has always been a
Maryland custom will quickly orient
vou. The pep rallies, convocations
and games will heighten your grow-
ing school spirit. You will pass on
the history and tradition of Maryland
to those future generations who will
inhabit the campus.

must for every man and his k

History
'l\\e I niversity of Marvlaiid daU's hack lo 1807
when the lirst school of the I niversily, ihe (iollejie
of Medicine, >vas foiMwIed in Bahiniore. In ihe
more than lit) years since its ronndinjr, the Tni-
versity has expanded holh physically and in its
stan<lards of edncalion, nnlil it now occnpies a
position as one ol" the leatling nniversities in the
country.
After the Colleg;e of Medicine was found<Ml. tliere
followed within a few years the eslahlishnienl of
several other professional schools to mark the (irsl
expansion of the University. The School of Law was
added in 1823. the Schoolof Denlisirv in 1882. the
School of Nursintr in 1889, and in 1904, the Mary-
land College of Pharmacy completed the Baltimore
additions.
At College Park, in 1836, Maryland State College,
the lirst Agricultural college in the I nited States
and the second in the western hemisphere, was
estahlished under the name (A the Mar\land Agri-
cidtural College. The college was (inan<'e<l h> the
sale of stock at 82o a share.
In 1862, this college hecame. in pari, a stale
institution with the passage of the Land (rratil \ct
hv Congress. It was one of the lirst schools to hene-
lit from this act and suhsecpienl federal aids l<>
e<lucation.
In 1920, the professional schools of the I niversil\
in Baltimore, and the Maryland Slate (College in
College Park were merged to form what is now
known as the University of Maryland.
21
University Seal
Maryland's Great Seal, the oldest of the state
seals, >\as sent to the province of Maryland in 1648
hv Lord Baltimore. More than 300 years old, the
seal is the only state seal of strictly heraldic char-
acter, for the other slate seals hear emblems rep-
resenting agriculture, commerce, or some related
subjects.
The escutcheon bears the Calvert and Crossland
arms qiiartere<l. The first and fourth quarters are
the Calvert Arms. The second and third quarters
are from the Crossland, Baltimore's maternal arms.
An earPs coronet and full-faced helmet are sur-
mounted on the quarterings. These indicate Lord
Baltimore's rank in America. The Calvert crest
rests on the helmet. The escutcheon is supported on
one side bv the figure of a farmer, and on the other
l>v that of a fisherman — symbols of each of Lord
Baltimore's estates, Maryland and Avalon. Below
the figures is the scroll bearing the Calvert motto:
"Fatti Maschii Parole Femine," which means
"Deeds are males; words, female." On a border
encircling the seal is the legend: Universitv of
Maryland 1807 1856 .1920.
Traditions
Maryland, like all collej^es, has traditions that
freshmen learn to love, and that others reniemher
long after college days are over.
When you walk across the campus you will notice
the "Hello Hahit" — a friendly custom of speaking
to the student you meet.
As soon as school starts, the football season
begins; many traditions surround the OUl Twiner's
love of sports and celebrations. Pep rallies before the
game encourage school spirit; Tesludo, the huge
bronze mascot for the University who rests on his
pedestal in front of the Coliseum, is found missing
earlv in the season, is traced from school to school,
and invariably returns just before a big game.
Homecoming highlights the fall season, when old
grads return for the game, a queen is crowned,
fraternity and sorority houses are resplendet wilhn
decorations, all the women wear chrysanthemums
and everyone attends the Homecoming Dance. The
annual Freshmen-Sophomore lug-of-war over l*aint
liranch Creek precedes the gaiue.
The Kossborough (^lub presents its four formal
dances during the year, featuring big-name bands
from all over the country.
Incidentallv, all freshmen are reminded that a
pennv in the wishing well at the Kossborough Inn
is guaranteed to make one's fonilest dreams come
true!
The Autunin (>arnival, with a nuisical revue, a
<pieen and a dan<e, takes place later in the fall.
26
Throughout the year, All-Maryland dances, which
are given free for the student body, are held. At
Christmas time a pageant is held following the
lighting of a Christmas tree. During the week prc-
cedintT Christmas vacation, carols sound out on
the campus between classes. These carols arc
sounded from the tower of Morrill Hall.
When spring comes, one of the important events
is the Interfraternity Sing, followed by May Day,
one of the most colorful spectacles at the University.
The May Queen's Crowning, the tapping of out-
standing" junior women by Mortar Board, and a
Pageant presented to entertain the Queen are
among the occurrences.
At this time one of Maryland's keenest rivals,
Johns Hopkins, is encountered in the annual
lacrosse game between the two schools. This event
is one of the more rousing events of the athletic
year.
Campaigning and electioneering for student
government and class offices make very lively
campus elections each spring.
The year is not complete without a visit to the
Tunnel.' Tradition had it that a couple must kiss on
their first trip through this secluded spot.
Just before graduation the annual Honors and
Awards Assembly is held, in which recognition of
scholarship, sports, A.F.R.O.T.C., publications and
other phases of University life is given.
With graduation exercises, the seniors leave the
University life behind them but keep its memories
in their hearts.

To Members of the First Year Class:
Beginning; a freshman year in the University of
Maryland is entering a new Ufe. Theoretically, the
University's educational program is attuned to the
secondary school program. In one respect, this is
the case, but in some other respects there is a wide
gulf between the two.
The student entering the University finds himself
in an almost completely independent position.
Boys and girls suddenly become men and women.
To you young men and women who are entering the
University of Maryland I extend a welcome which
not only holds for the present, but will last through-
out the rest of your lives.
It is my job as President of the University, and
the duty of all members of the Faculty and the Staff,
to help you orient yourselves to new conditions.
You will find that the upper class students, also,
will be more than glad to aid you. Seek their help,
ask the aid and direction of anybody that you see,
when vou do not know what to do. Ask freely any
questions that you may wish to ask, even if some
of them seem very simple.
We all w elcome you to the University of Maryland
family, and as members of the University of Mary-
land family we are all mutually obligated to help
one another. My office door is always open. If
you feel, at any time, that you want my advice,
walk in and such advice as I have to offer will be
freely given.
My best wishes to yoii all.

Student Government
Association
The Stiulenl Government Associa-
tion consists ol tliree divisions: the
Executive Council, the Men's League,
and the \'i omen's League. The Coun-
cil is the supreme governing bod\ :
and the Leagues decide on and en-
force all campus regulations.
Student activities are controlled by
the S.G.A. and are financed for the
most part h\ the activities fee which
is paid by all students in the Uni-
versity. From this fee. the money is
prorated to the various activities: the
payment ol this fee entitles a student
to attend all S.G.A. -sponsored activ-
ities and the bi-monthly meetings.
The actual work of S.G.A. is carried
on by committees, the major ones
being listed in th<' organizational
chart on page 12.

STONE
S.G.A. President
It is with great pride that I welcome the freshmen
and new students to the University of Maryland.
On behalf of the Student Government Association,
I would like to sincerely invite each of you to be-
come an interested member of our organization, for
only with your help and cooperation will the S.G.A.
be able to grow and serve you better during your
college life.
Through appropriations, the S.G.A. controls pub-
lications, choruses. University Theatre, and other
campus activities. Your participation in these
student organizations is expected and wanted, and
your support of them is the immediate benefit you
receive from the S.G.A.
Therefore, with the rest of the student body, may
I extend to you best wishes for an instructive and
stimulating four years.

Elections
Elections for Student Government Association
and Class officers are held in the sprint;;. Two votings
take place — the primary and the llnal. In recent
years Maryland's elections have come to be as
colorfully llambouyanl as national presidential elec-
tions. Any and all methods are used by candidates
and their backers to secure votes.
About two weeks before elections, posters, pic-
tures, and handbills bejiin to appear. Rallies and
speeches are also part of the campaign to win votes.
On the day of elections, circus animals, floats, and
pretty girls appear to lure the voters to the polls.
When election day is over, weary assistants count
the votes, weary voters forget the matter, and weary
candidates stay up till early morning hours to learn
the results. Installation of the new officers takes
place a few weeks later.
Constitution
The constitution of the Student Government Asso-
ciation has just recently been revised. The new
constitution which was voted on by the students
during the Spring of 19.^0 gives a belter representa-
tion of the students on the group that governs them.
Any student who wishes to read this constitution can
obtain a copy at the Student (iovernment Associa-
tion oflice which is located in the basement of the
Administration Building.

Men's League
President
Men's League extends to you a hear I y welcome
to the University of Maryland.
The Executive Council of the Men's League,
working in conjunction with the Dean of Men, con-
cerns itself with the problems of male students and
the general improvement of the campus. We look
forward to working with you, and any practical
suggestions will be appreciated.
The Dormitory Council serves in a disciplinary
capacity for all violators of the dormitory codes,
which will he explained further in the following
pages.
You will shortly elect a freshman representative
to the League. Make certain he represents your
views and ideas.
As your president and counselor, I would like to
invite you to see me, or any other member of the
League, about your problems.
44
Men's League
President Herb Vitt
f ice President Frank Long
Men's League is the repiesentative body which
serves the men students of the University in its
capacity as one of the three divisions of the Student
Government Association. There are two divisions of
the League— the Executive Council and the Dormi-
tory Council.
The Executive Council functions directly for the
benefit of the men students. It trys to maintain a
high standard of living conditions in the dormitories
and the campus. In this respect it attempts to gain
the cooperation of the dormitory residents in keep-
ing the maintenance and repair requirements as
low as possible through careful and thoughtful use
of the buildings and equipment.
The League works with the Dean of Men in plan-
ning dormitory improvements and additions which
\>ill make your stay at the University more com-
fortable and safe. Each year the Council awards
a bronze cup to the outstanding male graduate,
based on character, achievement, and service to the
University.
The Executive Council is composed of the presi-
dent, vice-president, and representatives of each
class (all elected by the male student body), and a
recording secretary, corresponding secretary. In-
lerfraternity Council r^pre^^elltative, Independent
Student's Association representalive. and llie chair-
man of the Dormitory Council.
The Dormitory Council serves as a <lisciplinary
hoard for offenders of the dormitory re<i[ulalions and
also works to encourage dormitory activity and
comradeship through the proctors.
The proctors are older students who serve as
advisors and counsellors to the students and main-
tain order and discipline in the dormitories. They
see to it that quiet hours are ohserved in the eve-
ning for studying, that rooms are kept clean, that
heds are made, and that health standards are in
general upheld, that the other dormitory regula-
tions are not broken, and that the dormitory is in
good condition.
The housemothers help the proctors in their jobs
and can be consulted at any time for advice on
social and school problems. If you are puzzled
about questions concerning campus life, they will
be glad to assist you.
Only by getting to know your fellow dormitory
residents and by associating with them socially will
you derive the most from dormitory life. Living
with a group of men of your own age and interests
is a great experience and can add to your personality
a social broadening that is obtainable nowhere else.
Take part in your dormitory and campuA activities
and soon vou will have accumulated riches worth
far more than the time and effort put forth.
46
The Men's League office is located in Room 12 of
Dormitory "O". Meetings are held every two weeks
at which all men are welcome.
The following are some regulations of the men's
dormitories:
Students will be held responsible for rooms be-
ing swept and kept clean at all times. Quiet hours
will be observed from 7:30 p. m. to 7 a. m. except
on Saturday nights. At no time will there be un-
necessary noise or disorder in the dormitories.
Radios are not to be played so loud that they
disturb others, and gambling and intoxicating
beverages will not be permitted in the dormitories.
Cooking, pets and firearms are also not allowed in the
residences. The University is not responsible for
money or other valuables left in rooms. Students
are cautioned to keep their rooms locked at all
times.
Public telephones are located in Dormitories
E, G, L, Calvert Hall "A" Section, and in the tem-
porary residences. There is a phone connected with
the University sw itchboard in each of the dormitory
offices. Any messages coming on the phone for
students will be delivered to their rooms, but no
student will be called to the telephone.
Students are held financially responsible for all
damage to their rooms except depreciation by
ordinary usage. Walls must not be defaced. Pen-
nants, calendars, and the like may be displayed if
scotch tape or stickers are used. No nails will be
permitted.

President
On behalf of the Women's League, I should like
to extend a hearty welcome to you. One of the major
objectives of the League, which deals with prob-
lems closely associated with women students, is to
provide balanced and harmonious living with a
minimum of regulation. The attainment of such a
goal depends primarily upon you and your interest
and participation in women's student government.
Please feel free to see us at any time in regard
to your problems and suggestions.

the University's uonien students, and all women
are members of the organization.
\^ a new student, von will lind that you encounter
the Leajiue often iii vour University hie, lor it

Resident vou will see the important role the League
plavs in dormitory life. It <-omhicls lumse nieetmgs,
assists the <lorniitorv housemothers, and handles
violatiims of rules governing resident women.
Woujens League also participates actively m
campus programs. During the past year .t has spon-
sored an All-\Iarylan<l Dance. It also works with
junior women on May Day.
The League is a self-governing organization,
with representatives from each house lor women
students on or near campus, and Ironi the day-
.lod-ers. The olTi<ers of the League are elected hv
the women shidenls. and meetings are open to all
women.
19
Business ineetino;s are held once a ^veek at \vhirh
subjects vital to the women of the campus are dis-
cussed.
Rules, violations, judgments, plans for social
calendars, consultations with the Dean f)f Women's
oflice, and plans for various campus charity drives
represent typical business of the organization.
At the present time, the Women's League con-
stitution is under revision, but it is hoped that it
will soon be ready to go into operation.
Each year the Women's League publishes a
pamphlet of regulations concerning the women who
live on campus. 1 he regulations are revised anmially
bv the League, under the guidance of the Dean of
Women, to eliminate existing fallacies and to achieve
a practical set of rules.
An important addition to the new constitution is
the establishment of a Women's Student Govern-
ment Association Executive Board. This will be
composed of re|)resentatives and presidents of
various organizations of interest to campus uomen.
A Judicial Board is also provided for under the new
constitution. The board is to consist of the presi-
dent of W.S.G.A., two elected freshmen, sopho-
mores, juniors, and seniors, and the facullv spf)nsor.
A third provision is for a T^esidence Coimcil which
shall be composed of House Presidents and Kouse
Directors and shall meet once weeklv.

The League is chiefly concerned with campus resi-
dents, but it is interested in encouraging more active
participation of the commuting women students.
Under the new constitution these women will have
more opportunity lor taking part in campus life.

rooms, or any other place on campus except

Religion In Life Week
Although rehgious activities are an integral
part of University hfe throughout the year,
one week has been set aside during each year
to emphasize the spiritual— to concentrate
on the value received from the various faiths.

opened with an interfaith service. Following
this there were church services, teas, sup-
pers, and vesper services. Arrangements
were also made for individual conferences,
and counselling faciUties were available.
Highlighting the week were visits of 22
outstanding speakers. These visitors talked
to the religious clubs, attended dinners and
''firesides" at dormitories, fraternities and
sororities, and conducted forums and semi-

Members of all faiths gathered on the
Quadrangle to climax the week with a
Friendship Circle by candlelight.

Fraternities
In a few weeks, the doors of the
Greek letter organizations will swing
open and rushing will again be under-
way. The decision concerning frater-
nities represents an important cross-
road in your college life, and vour
choice, consequently, should be made
with great care. In fairness to your-
self, do not be ""high-pressured" into
committing yourself to one fraternity
without yisiting others. Know the
financial setup of the fraternity in
which you are interested. Attempt to
meet all of the brothers at the rush
functions before committing yourself.
Do not feel that you are a social
outcast if you fail to receiye a bid from
the fraternity of your choice. Because
of the large numbers of rushees, fra-
ternities must make snap judgments.
If you fail the first time, don't be
discouraged, try again.

fraternity Criteria
The Nalioual liilei rraleniily (^oiirereiice u as
louiuled in 1908 for the purpose of discussing ques-
tions of nuilual interest antl to make such reconi-
niendations from time to time as it <leems wise. It
is composed of sixty-four national fraternities which
meet strict quahfications for memhership. Its an-
nual conferences are attended by about three hun-
dred and fifty officers and ahunni of the various
fraternities and about fifty deans of men and
college presidents. It sponsors the National Under-
graduate Councils on campuses all over the United
States and Canada, which meet in conjunction with
the Conference itself. It publishes a Year Book, the
report of its annual meeting, in w hich much valuable
information about college fraternity life is included.
In the fall of 1934, the Executive Committee of
the Conference and the Educational Advisory Coun-
cil reduced to writing the following criteria in order
further to advance co-operation between fraternities
and educational institutions. The statement was
subsequently approved by the American Association
of Deans and Advisers of Men and by the Confer-
ence itself. It reads as follows:
We consider the fraternity responsible for a posi-
tive contribution to the prnnary functions ol the
colleges and universities, and therefore under an
obligation to encourage the most complete personal
•levelopment of its members: intellectual, physical
and social. Therefore, we declare:
120
1. Thai I he ohjcclives ami activities of the
rrateniilv should he in eiilire aeeoijl with the aims
and purposes of the ins I iUi lions aL which it has
chapters.
2. That the |)iimary loyally and responsihility
of a student in his relaiions \\ith his inslilulion are
to the institution, and thai ihe association of any
•rroup of students as a chapter of a fraternity in-
volves the delinile responsihility of the group for
the conduct tif the individual.
3. Thai the fraternity should promote conduct
consislenL with good morals and good taste.
I. That the fraternity should create an atmos-
phere \Nhich \s\\\ stimulate suhstantiai intellectual
progress and superior intellectual achievement.
.■). That the fraternity should maintain sanitary,
safe and wholesome physical contlitions in the
chapter house.
6. That th<' fraternity should inculcate prin-
ciples of soiMid husiness practice l»oth in chapter
finances an<i in the husiness relations of its members.
These criteria should he applied in close co-opera-
tion with the a<lministralive authorities of the in-
stitution. Detailed methods of application will
ne«'essarily vary in accordance with local condi-
tions. It is the purpose of the INational Inlerfra-
lernitv (Conference to offer detailed suggestions,
after further studv an<l investigation, regarding
practical steps to make this co-operation effective.

Soronties
To most girls, tlie social side of
college lile is represented by a
sorority. On the 17th of September
manv of you will be knocking upon
the door of close friendship and group
enjoyment. Remember to be natural.
Don't allow yourself to be awed by
large houses or big groups; rather,
choose personalities which please you.
Be sure that you can meet the finan-
cial obligations of the sorority of your
choice.
If vou do not "make" the sorority
of vour choice, don't be disheartened.
Sororities are limited by a quota sys-
tem and therefore sometimes over-
look potentially fine members. Show
that you are interested, and, above
all. remember that your success or
failure in college depends not upon
a sorority, hut upon yourself.

Panhelknic Council
Pres ident J E A !N A SK I N
I ice- President Mary Lou McKinley
Secretary Jane Blunt
Treasurer Eileen Bernhardt
The purpose of the Panhellenic Council is the
maintenance of a wholesome sorority spirit and
inter-sorority relations within the University, to
further sound scholarship and high social standards,
and to compile rules governing rushing, pledging,
and initiation.
Important Rush Rules
All sorority women and students interested in
rushing should be thoroughly familiar with these
rules and should adhere to them at all times.
Formal rushing is that period beginning with the
open house teas and continuing until pledging.
Rushees shall be entertained at sorority houses only
at designated times during formal rush week. Alpha
Epsilon Phi and Phi Sigma Sigma will begin rushing
several davs later to avoid conflicting with the Yom
Kippur Holidays.
Neither men nor non-sorority women nor alumnae
may be present at any rush functions. No eligible
students shall be allowed in sorority houses during
formal rushing except during specified rush func-
tions.
No sorority women shall be allowed to enter the
dormitories where the new students are residing un-
132
less she is liviiiji there also. No rushee shall be
treated (mlsi<le of the sorority.
Standard Panhellenic Rules
\iiv woman sliulenl who is eligible for matricula-
tion at the University and is unaffiliated with any
National Taidiellenic Fraternity is eligible for formal
rushing.
Sludenls in the University summer school are
ineligible for rushing until September when sororities
become active. A pledge expires one calendar year
from the date of pledging at which time the student
is eligible for pledging another sorority.
During rush week, if a girl expresses her preference
in writing, or formally accepts a bid, or wears the
colors of a sorority <luring open rushing following
rush week, she is ineligible for pledging another
sorority, whether or not she has been through formal
service.
A pledge who is released by a chapter at any time
(luring her pledge year, or who breaks her pledge, is
ineligible for pledging a sorority until one calendar
vear from the date on which her pledge was broken.
This regidation is binding regardless of the campus
on which the student may l)e enrolled.
IMedges who have completed fifteen credit hours
in the preceding semester in the University with at
least a (] average who have no failures on their
record for that semester, who arc resident students
in gcKMJ standing, and who have been cleared with the
Dean of \V Omens oflice may be initiated into a
feorority.

Athletics
Athletics, inter-collegiate and in-
Ira-mural. are very much a [)art of the
hfe of a Maryland student. IJe mav
he the star halfhack of the varsitv
foothall team, or he mav be on the
frosh basketball team, or he mav be
the last man in the intra-mural cross
country run. If you are potentially
an All-American or just one who en-
joys sports, there is a place for vou on
an athletic team. The facilities are
here, but you must have the incentive.
The Council on Intercollegiatr
Athletics, with Geary Kppley its
chairman, supervises all athletics at
the University. Maryland is a mem-
ber of the Southern Conference, the
National Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion, and the United States Inter-
collegiate Lacrosse Association.

Maryland had its greatest football season in
history in winning eight of nine regular season games
and easily defeating Missouri, 20-T, in the Gator
Bowl tilt" at Jacksonville, Fla., on January 2. The
team also set a record for scoring, gathering 247
points in its nine tilts.
Conspicuous on the team, that was fifth m total
defense in the country, were Ray Krouse, second
all-American tackle; Bob Ward, all-Southern guard;
Elmer Wingate, end, and Mighty Mo Modzelewski,
halfback.
While ten men were lost from the 1949 squad
ample replacements came up from the Frosh and the
1950 outfit should be as good, if not better, than
the great eleven of last season.

Basketball Coach
Bld Milliran
Basketball
The baskeleers will start their 1950-51 campaign
under a new coach. He is Bud MilUkan, a product
of the famous Hank Iba's Oklahoma Aggie teams.
He is a personable, serious-minded and hard-work-
ing comparative youngster, who, in due time, should
revive Maryland's forces.
Millikan, however, sees a tough task ahead to get
the Terp quintet off on the right foot in his first sea-
son. He's far from being a pessimist but he s just
looking the situation straight in the face. He conies
to College Park with a line coaching record, being
successful at two high schools after leaving his alma
mater. His last stand was at Newton, Iowa, High
where his 1949-50 quint had a 17-3 mark and won
its conference crown.
Flucie Stewart, whose team won only seven ot -o
.rames last season, is devoting his full time as end
coach of the football team. His quint lost many close
aames in a campaign highlighted by a victory over
a strong Georgetown five, registering almost as
many total points as its opponents.

Wrestling Coach ^"^"^^^^^ \
Sully'' Krouse ^^^t^jgn^ ,^
\^rest\mq
Coached by William "Sully" Krouse, the varsity
grapplers had a season of five victories and three
defeats. At times Coach Krouse had to fill gaps by
moving his smaller men to heavier weight brackets.
Using this system, the team finished third in the
Southern Conference Tourney with Ray Lysakow ski
and Jim Scott reaching the finals.

II. BlRTON SmPLKY
Baseball
The i)asehall team, with H. Burton Shipley as
the coach for the tweiitv-seventh consecutive sea-
son, won more games during the 1950 campaign
than in any other year. His potent charges captured
eighteen tilts and lost only seven for a winning per-
centage of .720.
This however, strictly from a percentage stand-
point, was not quite up to two earlier seasons when
his teams won fourteen times against five defeats
for an average of .737. He previously has won his
most games in a year when he captured sixteen an«l
lost six.
Michigan was the only nine to conquer the Terps
that was not licked, as the Shipleymen hroke even
with the other six other that beat them. They beat
Georgetown twice, split with George Washington
and licked Navy to win the mythical area crown.
Maryland qualified as one of the four teams to
play for the Southern Conference title and was the
runner-up. It whipped Virginia Tech and Clemson
but lost out to the title-winning Wake Forest Club.

Rifie Coach
Harl\nd Griswold
Rifle
The loss of Arthur Cook, the National and
Olympic champion, and other stars, was reflected in
Coach Griswold's sharpshooters. At that the team
won eight ot" its eleven matches.
Walter Harrison was picked for the second All-
American team. It was the first time in years that
Maryland did not have a marksman on the first
team.
Anyone is eligible to try out for the team. Mary-
land has perhaps the best indoor rifle range in the
country and the team knows how to use it. All
AF'ROTC students may fire for the Hearst trophy.
153
Freshman Sports
HLverv freshman is invited to try out lor the sport
he hkes hest. Everyone has a chance to make the
leam. Hi'^h school press notices are not needed, tor
il is perlormance Nvhich decides. The Freshman lool-
l.all leam hegins practice immediately after registra-
lion and there will he ample notice ol the iirst
;ialhering for all other sports.
Although the schedules for freshman teams are
limited, tliev are given every encouragement and
provided with able coaches. How they are han<lle>d.
„f course, means much to the varsity squads ot the
following year. Every yearling not only is welcome
lo try for 'any sport he' may choose hul he is urged
I.) take part' in some competition.
Frosh Football
Coach Bill Meek led his freshman charges
throu'^h a verv good season. The record book shows
r,,ur v^ictories'and only one loss. The squad played
-uch teams as Fork Union, Georgetown, West
Vir<dnia, North Carolina, and George W ashmgton.
The "Little Terps" were undefeated until the last
.rame of the season when they dropped a close idl
to George Washington bv the score ol 18-13. . ack
Scarbath and Bob De Stefano did the signal calling
for such backlield aces as Joe Pelruzzo and Ed
Fullerton. The line was bulwarked by Hob Morgan
and Dick \todzelewski. You nn ill hear more ol these
men in the varsilv games this lall.
131
Frosh Track
While not colleclively loo slrong, ihe yearling
track squa<l ^vill send I lie varsily 8nch runners as
W avne DeMoss and George Burklin, sprinters,
and Bob Claney and Thorton Coss, quartermilers.
But what excited Coach Jim Kehoe most was the
22 foot 2 inch broad jump by John Aklerton of
CiHid>erland just after the grid end had linished
spring football practice.
Frosh Soccer
Coach Dick Cleveland developed some good
talent for the varsitv in an abbreviated but success-
ful season. It was only the second time since the
war that a frosh srpiad was fielded. Cleveland, in-
cidentallv, was one of the best players ever to play
at Maryland.
Frosh Wrestling
Although taking part in a limited number of
matches, the frosh did well enough to satisfy Coach
"SuUv"' Krouse, and for him to find some ace pros-
pects for his varsity outfit. Leo Tinnanoff, Bernie
Chmielewski and Jack Shannahan showed unusual
promise.
Frosh Boxing
Coach"^ Frank Cronin's young miltmen won all
three of their matches, handily defeating the Virginia
yearlings,' Fairfax High and Charlotte Hall Military
Academy.^Mle discovered a number of good scrap-
pers, including Bob Theofold, a nifty 14.5 pounder:
Lindv Dye, 16S, and Cal Quinstedt, heavyweight.
Frosh Baseball
Al Pohialv, ^^ho tutored the yearling diamondeers,
>vill provide the varsity Avith much good talent.
Included in the array aVe George Hume and Dick
McKenzie, pitchers; Don Baranick and Gene
Giuseppe, catchers; InHelders Victor Jungk, who
got six hits in one game, and Jack Scarbath; and
Joe Petruzzo and John Howard, outfielders.
Petruzzo is rated a sure shot as a sophomore next
spring.
Frosh Basketball
\lthough the rookie tossers, handled by Burris
Husman,'(lid no better than break even in 14 games,
the squad was not devoid of promising players.
Three newcomers pleased Bud Millikan, new varsity
coach, in his brief drills in May. They were Sam
Towne, Tom Connelly and Johnny Strachan, and
he feels some of the others who will be sophs this
fall may develop. Towne stands 6 feet 4 inches m
his stocking feet.
Frosh Kifle
While Col. Griswold did not name them specifi-
cally, he has high hopes for a number of his rookie
marksmen, and, losing only one man from the first
string of 1949-50, looks toward the next season with
much confidence. Just a few good replacements
would make the Terp team the power of old.
156
Frosh Tennis
Coach Dovic Koval jiot little hope for holsteiing
hi8 varsity net squa<l of 1951 from the freshmen
acfrrepatiiin. It did not have a successful campaign
an(i there >vere no reports of any individual hrilhance
among the players, and Royal hadly needs replace-
ments.
Frosh Lacrosse
Tommy Mont, former all-around Maryland
athlete, coached the frosh to four victories in six
games, and \\ill giye the 1951 gig team a good lift.
His main contrihutions will be Jim Strott, Dick
Mien and Boh Mahon. attack men: and Jack Shan-
nahan, W e<ld Chamberlain and Dick Harryman,
midlielders. It is the attacking trio that impressed
ami is needed most by the varsity.
Frosh Golf
Only one match was played by the yearling links-
men and that was lost to the Navy Plebes by a 4 to
2 score. However, Bob Fitzgerald, John Smart and
Bill Havnes showed great promise and Coach Frank
Cronin 'of the Varsity is confident they will be of
mu<h help to him next spring.
157
Men's Intramurals
The liUiaimiral Deparlinenl Iries lo formulate a
policy that m ill cover all the requirements of the

Jim Kehoe is the director of the program, and
the following sports have heen put in the program:
hadminton, basketball, baseball, foul shootmg.
boxing, bowling, cross country, golf, gymnastics,
horseshoes, softball, table tennis, touch football,
track, vollevball, and wrestling. There are well over
60 teams "in competition. Fraternity and non-
fraternitv men are eligible to compete. Coaches ol
varsity squads often attend these contests looking
for promising material.
Often, winners of various events challenge in-
tramural teams from colleges in the area. T his adds
lo the feeling of varsity competition.
There are two divisions in the men's intramurals
—an open division anyone can enter, and a fraternilv
division, for fraternitv men only. A cup is presented
each year to the fraternity which has amassed the
most points. Medals, gold for the first place lean,

their songs and cheers. On their shoulders is the
responsihility of instilling the traditional Maryland
