BRIEF HISTORY OF UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
Dr. II. C. Hvnl
(Maryland B. S., '08)
President of University who rose from Athletic Coach.
While Maryland is looking forward to its L940
foot hall campaign, the University is beginning its
I I Ith term as an educational institution.
Founded in 1807, the College of Medicine of
Maryland in Baltimore, the fifth oldest in the coun-
try, was the progenitor of the present University.
The Baltimore Infirmary, now the University Hos-
pital, and the School of Law, fourth in the United
States, were built in L823. A Department of Dentis-
try was added in 1882 and the School of Nursing in
L889. In 1904, the Maryland College of Pharmacy
ilsil ), the third in the U. S., was merged with the
University, and in 1 « »i2 : » . the Baltimore College of
I (ental Surgery i L840), the oldest dental school in the
world, was amalgamated with the School of Dentis-
try. This is the background of the original Univer-
sity of Maryland whose phenomenal growth in every
way in the past 15 years has been amazing.
However, the present seat of the University
came into being with the chartering of Maryland
Agricultural College at College Park in 1856, the
second agricultural College on the Western Hemi-
sphere. 1 1 was made Maryland State College in 1916
and by an act of the State Legislature in 1920, the
I'.altimore and College Park units were merged, form-
ing the strong institution now known as the University of Maryland.
Where there were only a few more than 100 students at College Park a little more than 25 years ago,
there now are approximately 3300 with about 1700 more in the professional schools in Baltimore.
It was in the fall of 1912 when Harry Clifton (Curley) Byrd, now president of the University, made his
return to ( 'ollege Park as athletic coach and English teacher that the institution and athletics really began
to advance.
Byrd had first come to Maryland as a student in the fall of 1905 from Crisfield, Md., had been a star
at hlete in track, football, baseball and tennis for three years in which time he finished a 4-year engineering
course. He was captain of the eleven in 1907. He figured in a number of pursuits in the intervening
four years, professional baseball, newspaper writing and high school coaching, before being called to his
alma mater.
At one time he handled all the sports Maryland supported, except lacrosse, but he gradually was
forced to give them up as he went up the ladder to the top. He stuck to football until the "last horn
blew", not entirely severing his connection with the gridders until after the 1933 season, although he did no
active coaching that year.
His steps along executive lines came * * •
as assistant to the president in 1918,
vice president in 1932, acting president
on July 1. 1932. and president on
February 21. 1936.
Geary Eppley, who now is Byrd's
right hand man as dean of men and ath-
letic director, as well as track coach,
was one of the now president's best
ends in 1919 and also was on the track
team for four years. Eppley is one of
those who has not left the College Park
school since getting his degrees.
Byrd's interest in clean, wholesome
athletics is just as keen as when he was
football coach. He insists athletics be
conducted in a sane manner but, as he
|said at a Maryland sports banquet,
"I'm not in favor of losers, either. We
should always play to win in sports as
well as in the business of life." (Maryland B. S., '20, M. S., '21)

WHY THEY ARE LABELED OLD LINERS AND TERRAPINS
University of Maryland athletes are Terrapins and Old Liners on about a 50-50 basis.
Not so many years ago the Diamondback Terrapin was one of the State's most noted products, and when the University
.student paper was seeking a name, Diamondback was suggested and accepted.
It was not long after this that the Maryland athletes began to be designated as the Terrapins (now Terps, for short),
as well as Old Liners.
Maryland gained the name of the Old Line State during the Civil War, not only because the Mason and Dixon line really
divided the North and the South, but for the fact that the State was the middle ground in providing troops for both sides.

MARYLAND HAS UNUSUAL FOOTBALL COACHING SET-UP
Maryland's unusual grid coaching set-up, which held
forth in Spring practice in approved style and which will
handle a tough situation this Fall, is not dismayed by the
task and success lor them fully commensurate with the
material, is expected by those who are in the know.
The Terps varsity football destinies are in the hands
of an alumni-faculty staff composed of John E. (Jack)
Faber, Albert Heagy and Al Woods, who are thoroughly
conversant with the carious problems that confront them
and ready to "work their heads off" to overcome them.
Thoroughly Conversant II iih Problems
Maryland depends almost wholly on "home" talent
for its teams and as scholastic football in the State and in
the District of Columbia does not match the brand of
other sections, the Terps are under a great disadvantage.
It takes coaches who are sympathetic with the unusual
problems at Maryland to meet them with the proper
fortitude and spirit and that is one of the reasons, despite
their recognized coaching ability, that the three are the at
helm.
Spring practice, that was run off smoothly and ap-
parently to great advantage, gave every indication that
they would give the team the needed tutoring and direction
this Fall. In fact, the Spring drills were tie peppiest held
on the Maryland campus in years.
Despite their youth, Faber, Heagy and Woods have
been well tested as coaches.
.ill llnvr If ml Coaching Experience
Faber was head of a board that handled the team in
1933, was head coach in 1934 and 1935 and had a record
of 17 wins, 12 defeats and 'J ties when he turned the job
over to Frank Dobson in 1936 and became the latter'-;
H. BtKTos Shipley
Maryland B. S., '14
assistant. Dobson stepped out at the
close of the 1939 campaign.
Heagy and Woods both have
handled the freshman and aided with
the varsity.
Faber is associate professor of
bacteriology. Heagy is in the Chem-
istry Department, and Woods is an
instructor in agronomy. Faber also
is head coach of lacrosse, with Heagy
as his aide, and the latter handles
the yearlong basketball squad.
On Campus Long Time
None of the three ever has left
the Maryland campus since matri-
culating and all have been associated
with football as players or tutors
during their entire stay. Last year
Faber was first assistant. Heagy was
line mentor and Woods handled the
frosh in highly approved fashion.
Faber and Heagy have proved
their tutoring skill with the hi

SEVERAL PROBLEMS EXIST BUT TACKLES BIGGEST QUESTION
team also, the Terps having won the national collegiate
championship for the past two years.
Allied with these three are two more Maryland products,
H. Burton Shipley and Charles LeRoy Mackert. Ship's
main jobs are varsity basket ball and baseball coach
but he has charge of all athletic ec4uipment and is the trainer
of the gridiron squad.
Mackert, head of the men's physical education de-
partment, does the scouting and when he has a spare
moment can step down on the field and tell the tackles
and fullbacks just how it should be done.
Mackert is the only Terp who has won places at tackle
and fullback on the all-time all-Maryland elevens.
Shipley was highly skilled in baseball, football and
basketball during his student days.
Some Outstanding Players
Maryland's greatest problem appears to be to find a
pair of tackles to replace Ralph Albarano, one of the greatest
ever to play the position for the Terps, and Bob Brown,
another exceptional performer, who, however, was greatly
retarded by a leg injury last Fall.
George Lawrence, a fine guard; John Boyda, a versatile
fullback who could carry the ball and block as well; Pershing
Mondorff and Frank Skotnicki, near-regular backs, also
will be missed.
Other handicaps are the general lightness and in-
experience of the gridders. There are only a half dozen
on the squad who reach 190 pounds and, with few exceptions,
the aggregation is made up of State and nearby boys.
Only one gridder lives as far distant as 125 miles.
lime Fifteen Leller Men Returning
The Terps, though, will go into the 1940 campaign
with 14 letter men, only three of them were regulars on
the 1939 eleven.
Letter men are: Dick Shaffer, Frank Dwyer and Leo
Mueller, ends, who saw about 50 percent action; Bill Krouse
and Ralph Burlin, who were reserve tackles; George Gienger,
regular, and John Morton, guards; Hob Smith, regular,
and Jim Wharton, centers, both of whom were out of the
last two games because of injuries; Joe Murphy, Mearle
DuVall, Bernie Ulman, Fred Widener and Milton Lumsden,
backs, with only the first named as a regular.
Owing to the scarcity of experienced tackles, Gienger
was shifted from guard during the Spring practice and
showed enough to be considered for this position this Fall.
He'll be a regular some place.
Smith, a great center when in trim, was bothered all
last year with a bad knee and underwent an operation
during the winter, leaving his status uncertain.
Hoir They Might He Lined-up
If a team had to be lined-up right now, it probably
would be made up as follows:
Shaffer and L. Mueller, ends; Krouse and Gienger,
tackles; Morton and Max Hunt, a 1939 reserve, guards;
Wharton, center; DuVall, Murphy, Ulman and Lumsden
or Widener, backs.
This outfit lacks a heavy duty back like Boyda, is not
fortified in forward passers and the tackle play is uncertain.
Reginald Vincent and Luther Conrad tackles; Don
Shockey, a husky fullback; Lohr Dunlap, guard; John
Gilmore, Louis Chacos, and Harold Berry, other fairsized
backs, and Joe Hoopengardner, a scat back, may change the
aspect of things in the September drills that precede the
start of the campaign. They appear as the most promising
sophs.
I ersitile Attack May He Expected
Maryland's offense may be expected to look different
from last season, although most of the plays, as then, doubt-
less will be run from single wing back formations. All of
the coaches played under Byrd and have a fine knowledge
and great respect for the aerials that used to be thrown by
the Terps during his regime and the tricky running plays
that were melded with the tosses.
Joe Murphy, Maryland's Southern Conference champion
in the 100 and 220 dashes for two successive years, should
fit well into the scheme of things. Naturally, he is a fleet
ball carrier and he is both a good pass thrower and receiver.
At any rate, the Maryland team should be able to
keep the fans on edge, winning or losing.
In all 40 men were listed to be in the squad reporting
for practice at College on September 2, with 24 members
from the 1939 aggregation and Hi sophomores.
Most of Foes Hare Iti-ller issets
Maryland will be the underdog in seven of its nine
games, for with the exception of Hampden-Sydney, on which
they have the edge, and Western Maryland, which they
match, the Terps do not come close to equalling the ma-
terial of their rivals.
Coming on October 5, the game with Pennsylvania
will be a particularly tough spot, as the Red and Blue
outfit is picked to be one of the East's outstanding elevens
this year.
Maryland purposely left November 2 open in order
to give its squad a breathing spell in the middle of the
campaign.

AGE OF SPORT AT UNIVERSITY NOT DEFINITELY KNOWN
.lust how old athletics are at the University of Maryland
is not a matter of record,
There were some spasmodic sports and outside com-
petition at the Baltimore schools of the University well back
in the past but there were hardly enough for record and all
of the real athletic background of the present institution is
gained from the activities at College Park.
Baseball apparently was tile first sport to be established
at College Park. While some of the teams were rather
informal at the outset, they performed in the name of the
Maryland Agricultural College as early as 1886. In fact,
the team of 1887 traveled to Annapolis and beat St. John's
College in the morning and the Naval Academy in the after-
noon of the same day.
Football <•<>( Slnrl In 1XH<)
Football was put on a recognized basis in the Fall of
lf<9'2, relations being established that year with St. John's
College of Annapolis and Johns Hopkins. Both games were
lost
It was in 1889, however, when George Hoblitzel organ-
ized a team, that the real foundation for the gridiron pastime
was laid. The rather informal outfit of that year continued
to function in 1890 and 189] and several games were played
each of those years.
Track, with William C. Nesbit as captain and C. A. E.
Eyster as manager, and tennis were mentioned as far back
as in the 1897-1 B98 term, and both evidently obtained a firm
foothold in the following year.
First Lacrosse Games In 1910
F,. K. Powell, now donor of a trophy for the outstanding
Maryland lacrosse player of the year, gave this sport its first
(impetus in 1910. Two games were played that season with
Baltimore City College, with no scores recorded, and in 1911
a regular schedule was arranged.
Prof. K. V. Truitt, who followed Powell and played and
coached during his connection with the sport, was the
fellow who developed the game. He still is a member of
faculty as professor of acquiculture.
Basketball was mentioned now and then in the student
publications as far back as 1905, but seldom was a result
given. Teams represented Maryland Agricultural College
in the years following, though not regularly, and the sport
was not put on a sound basis until the first gymnasium was
provided at College Park in the Fall of 1923.
Boxing Is Youngest Pastime
Boxing, of course, is the baby sport at Maryland, as it is
at most of the collegiate institutions that support it. It was
established on a collegiate basis in 1931 and the Terps now
are one of the powers in the ring pastime.
A boxing club, though, was mentioned in the year book
of 1912, of which K. Mudd was president, A. B. Duckett,
vice president, N. L. Clark, secretary treasurer, and Kid
Sullivan, a well known pro boxer of that time, as instructor.
It apparently merely was a recreational venture.
These seven sports for both varsity and freshman teams,
along with rifle shooting, have been carried on for years with
marked success.
Many Intramural Pastimes Fostered
Wrestling was recognized with a minor letter during th^
1939-40 term and now soccer has been placed on a collegiate
basis.
Golf and numerous other pastimes are fostered in an
intensive intramural program and intramural teams of other
schools are met in a number of sports.
The coeds, of course, have their physical education
department, which embraces most of the usual sports for
girls, with rifle as their only intercollegiate competition.

Frank Blazek, Senior Center
TERP CENTERS HAVE TOUGH TIME STAYING IN ACTION
Maryland certainly had an unusual experience with
its football centers during the 1939 season and in the 1940
Spring drills, as on two occasions it was left entirely without
a tested snapper-back.
The Terps started the 1939 season with Bob Smith,
the big regular, and Jim Wharton, a wiry and rugged
160-pounder, seeming sure to give the team all the insurance
it needed in the position.
Smith, who had been bothered some with a trick knee
during 1938, was the first to fall by the wayside, Wharton
taking over completely and carrying on in good style until
there were just two games left on the schedule. Then
he was injured to such an extent that he was put entirely
out of commission, joining Smith on the sidelines for the
rest of the campaign.
Blazek Rises Tn Occasion
But as matters turned out, Maryland did not suffer
to any noticeable extent for it gave to Frank
Blazek, who had subbed at various times at
guard and tackle, an opportunity to step into
the picture and show the stuff of which he is
made.
Blazek, with only four days practice, took
over the center assignment in the game with
Virginia Military Institute, in which he was
one of the most brilliant players on the field,
and followed it up with an equally fine showing
in the final battle of the season with Syracuse.
Smith, who had an operation performed
on his knee during the Christmas holidays, was
unable, of course, to figure in the Spring drills.
Blazek was taken sick just as practice started
and confined to the infirmary for several weeks
but Wharton and Carl Ruppersberger, of the
1939 freshman team, were on the job and it
was fully expected that they would be sufficient.
Wiihftiii Center Second Time
Doubtless they would have been but
Wharton, with about 10 days of the grid
practice period left, was allowed to go over
with the varsity baseball team for which he
played shortstop most all season. He had been gone only a
couple days when Ruppersberger was hurt badly enough to
keep him out of the remainder, of the drills.
This situation, not nearly so serious or important as
that was faced when Blazek came though in such magni-
ficient fashion, gave the coaches a chance to test a couple of
aspirants who had ideas that center is where they belong.
These happenings, though, give a good idea of what
a team with limited assets is likely to face at any time and
to what great disadvantage it may be placed in meeting
a foe which is three or four deep in every position.
Smith May Play Fullback
There is a possibility that this series of mishaps to
the centers may make a fullback out of Smith. His knee
apparently is okay again, but with Blazek having proved
that center is the right spot for him, Wharton being as
good as most fellows who outweigh by many pounds, and
Ruppersberger being added to the list, Smith, who is an
outstanding defensive player, may find himself knocking
down ends and tackles as a blocker.

This is what Jim Berryman, noted sports cartoonist of the Washington Star, thinks of the Maryland "meteor," as he called him.
SPORTS YEAR IS NOTABLE DESPITE GRID LOSSES
Maryland enjoyed a fine sports year - in fact, a highly
notable one -dispite the bad start last Fall that netted only
two victories in nine varsity football games.
No other varsity combination, though, finished on the
wrong side of the ledger and collectively the squads compiled
62 percent triumphs, despite tough schedules in all pastimes.
This is a little under the Terps usual average, which runs
from 65 percent to above 70 in many of the years.
Stickmen 4rnl Runners Shine
Outstanding, of course, was the winning of the national
lacrosse championship for the second successive year, al-
though the Terps were not favored to repeat when they
plunged into a testing 1940 campaign. They won all their
10 collegiate games which included victories over Army,
Navy, Princeton and Hopkins, four of the powers in the
game.
Maryland's runners also gained national fame, to back
up other notable feats, by setting the pace in the Penn Relay
Carnival last April with three triumphs-in the two mile,
four mile and distance medley events — in which only six
speedsters were used. They were Jim Kehoe, Mason
Chronister, Alan Miller, Tommy Fields, Gene Ochsenreiter
kand Bob Condon. A sad part of this story is that Kehoe,
'Chronister and Miller were in the graduating class last June.
The Terps also won six individual championships and
the relay race in the Southern Conference title meet.
Tennis, coached by Les Bopst, associate state chemist,
who to the regret of all is relinquishing his tutoring job,
enjoyed the best season in the history of the pastime at
College Park, only one match being lost in nine played.
The victory list doubtless would have been substantially
increased had not rain prevented several matches in which
Maryland was a top-heavy favorite.
Freshmen Also Do H ell
Freshman teams also did well, turning in 63 per cent,
victories, with the yearling lacrosse squad being the only
outfit to have a clean slate.
