gone right along with his success in the foot-
ball coaching profession.
WILLIAM W. COBEY: Graduate Manager of
Athletics. A shrewd business executive, he
has cemented good relations with the many
business houses and schools the University-
deals with. A graduate of the University,
"Old Scrooge," as he is lovingly named, is
the supreme overseer of athletic schedules
for our many teams. He's been around a long
time, long enough in fact to have a wife and
five children.

Publicity. Heads up publicizing all sports and
with the new full time assistant Joe F. Blair
hopes to extend to. the gentlemen of the press,

Facts on the New Stadium and Press Box:
The Press Box is 151 feet long and 27 feet wide. The working
press section is 70 feet long and contains two rows. Two radio, 2
TV, and a PA Scout Booth are included. This year, due to the rush
of work to get the stadium 100% complete, several other comforts
that were originally planned are not ready. In the press box we will
have a 24-foot snack bar for your convenience. It is planned that
a luncheon be served before each game. Phones will be included;
a direct PA; statistics; quarter resumes, and everything else that we
can offer for your comfort.
Special Parking Areas will be set aside for all working press,

Some Facts on the New Stadium;
There are 8,000 tons of concrete in the stadium. The seats are of
select hard redwood from California and some 200,000 lineal feet
has been used. Laid end to end it would stretch from Washington
to Baltimore. The seats are contoured for the comfort of one's a ,
to use a method of description. Holding up the seats are
snecial aluminum brackets that will bear a weight of 16,500 pounds.
There is 72 of a bracket for each person in the stands . . . but don't
take any.

The Playing Field:
The entire circumference is 515 feet by 208 feet wide or 45,560
square feet. In it is contained 2 and Vl acres of greensward. (Wnaf
that word means I don't know, I understand they used it in the

tons. It is 24 feet wide and will contain six running lanes. It has
a 220 yard straightaway.
There are six types of underground plumbing, which add up to

You may think the stadium looks like a horseshoe; well, it is and
it isn't. According to the architect, it is a PARABOLA, which
means that it is built like a theatre. The person in back is afforded
a better view, while looking over your Stetson.
There is a two inch decking on the roof with an iron railing for
use by photographers.

THE COACHING STAFF
JIM TATUM, Head Football Coach: A grad-
uate of the University of North Carolina, he
played tackle under Coach Carl Snavely. He
is beginning his fourth season with the Terps
and his 1949 record was nine wins and one
defeat. This included a win over Missouri in
the Gator Bowl. He has led Maryland to two
Bowl games in his career here and this sea-
son has lined them up with one of the tough-
est schedules they ever had. Before Maryland,
he was head coach at Oklahoma, North Caro-
lina and Jacksonville Navy. He also assisted
at Cornell and Iowa Sea Hawks. Married, he
resides with his wife Edna and son and daugh-
ter in College Park.
JACK HENNEMIER: The "old raid head"
from Savannah, Georgia, was one of Duke
University's all time centers and weighed in
at only 155. He was an assistant at Duke
before joining the Terp staff two years ago.
Jack previously was a high school coach in
Savannah and an assistant at W & L. He
handles the line and doubles as a scout.
Married, he resides with his wife Mary Vir-
ginia in College Park.
BILL MEEK. The former Tennessee football
ace is one of the originals on the staff. He
is beginning his fourth season and this year
will head the backfield. He has had sev-
eral years doing a good job with the frosh.
Greatest happiness this summer, he improved
his golf game. Married, he resides in College
Park with his wife, two sons and daughter.
WARREN GIESE, handsome bachelor on the
coaching staff, most eligible, too. Played for
Coach Tatum at Oklahoma and finished up his
career at Central Michigan. This year he will
be head coach of the frosh, which Coach
Tatum deems a most important assignment.
He handles the ends.
PAGE FOURTEEN
DENVER CRAWFORD: The newest addition
to the staff will help on the line. Last sea-
son he assisted at W & L and before that
played pro football with the New York Yank-
ees. Another former Tennessee gridster, he
was one of the Vols top linemen. He played
in the Blue Gray Game on two occasions and
in the All-Star Game in Chicago in 1945.
Married, he resides with his wife Betty and
one son in College Park.
FLUCIE STEWART: "The big-red haid" is
back on full time football coaching and scout-
ing after a lapse of two seasons in which
time he handled basketball. Known for his
proficiency in scouting, the former Furman U.
all around athlete has had a lot of coach-
ing experience. Furman, Clemson, Applachian
State, Tampa were handled by him. Married,
he resides with his wife "Miss Bess," known
for her good Southern Cookin' right here in
College Park.
JOHN CUD MO RE: An old hand around the
Terps he played for Stetson U. and coached
the Fort Benning Army team to a Service
Championship during the war. Married, he
resides with his wife Louise and two, boys in
College Park . . . Three newcomers to the
coaching staff, who will work mostly with the
frosh, are JIM LARUE, JOE TUCKER, and
GENE KINNEY, all recent footballers under
Jim Tatum. Larue and his wife Betty, and
Tucker and his wife, Nancy, together with
their son, reside in College Park. Kinney, like
Giese, is a bachelor.
DUKE WYRE, head trainer. This is his fourth
-season with the Terps. He formerly trained
at Yale and Holy Cross. Wyre is President of
the Southern Conference Trainers' Association,
and on the Board of the National Association.
Good for morale, he's "Mother Duke" to the
boys. Married, he lives with his wife Marion
in College Park.

MARYLAND'S COMPLETE GRID RECORD
By Bill Hottel
Here is Maryland's football record by years of collegiate games only.
Before the Curley Byrd coaching regime began in 1912 it was not un-
usual to play two or more high schools of the vicinity each season.
Some were practice games, others real contests but often the score
was not even recorded. The records were checked and rechecked during
the past summer and, if not 100 percent, doubtless are as correct as they
ever can be made!

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY
The history of the present University is the history of two in-
stitutions: the old privately-owned and operated University of Mary-
land 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 1814-1815 by the erection
of the building at Lombard and Greene Streets in Baltimore, the oldest
structure in America devoted to medical teaching. Here was founded
one of the first medical libraries (and the first medical school library)
in the United States. In 1812 the General Assembly of Maryland author-
ized the College of Medicine of Maryland to "annex or constitute facil-
ities of divinity, law, and arts and sciences," and by the same act de-
clared that the "colleges or faculties thus united should be constituted
an university by the name and under the title of the University of Mary-
land." 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 third 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
management. 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 "endowment, support, and maintenance of at
least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding
other scientific and classical studies, and including nrlitary tactic?, 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 institu-
tion. In the fall of 1914 control was taken over entirely by the State.
In 1916 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 Legis'ature, the University of Mary-
land was merged with the Maryland State College, and the resultant
institution was given the name University of Maryland,
