The SPORTS OBSERVER By Dick Herbert College Park, Oct. Jim Tatum was showing pictures of his Maryland football team's very impressive 43-7 victory over Georgia at Athens last week. The movies show just what Wally Butts and his Georgia Bulldogs found outMaryland has a powerful machine which has an excellent chance of going through its season without a loss. Its blocking against the rugged Georgians magnificent, its running was outstanding, and its defense was was almost perfect. It was a masterful job done against a strong opponent.

Did Tatum get a lot of satisfaction out of the game?" "Sure," he replied, "but you can't stop in this business. Around here they were -saying that if we only could beat Georgia that would be the big game of the year. Well, we beat Georgia and now they say tomorrow's game with Caro-' lina is the big one. But it doesn't worry me until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Until then I'll try to enjoy life." Did Tatum think this season's team was better than the 1950 club that lost to Georgia and State and tied Carolina? "Defensively," he replied, "we aren't as good because we lost practically everybody we had on defense.

But on offense I would say we have improved considerably. This year we have two halfbacks who can run and they also can pass. They have the necessary speed, and in the split-T you have to have halfbacks who can throw that running pass. "Last year we had Ed Modzelewski at right halfback. He wasn't a passer and he wasn't quite fast enough.

Now he is at his natural position-fullback. a good blocker. and your fullback has to be a blocker in the split-T. Felton and Shemonski, our halfbacks, have the necessary speed and can throw. This Felton is a fine runner.

Scarbath, our quarterback has another year behind him better. Last year we had only two good halfbacks. Now we have more." Tatum Says Bowls Aren't Harmful Maryland, because of its easy victories over Washington and Lee, George Washington, and Georgia, is the highest ranking team in the Southern Conference and therefore the leading candidate for a bid to one of the bowl games. Therefore there is considerable wonder in this area whether or not it will become absolutely official that conference teams may not play in a bowl game this season as the college presidents indicated at their recent -emphasis meeting at Chapel Hill. Tatum says they haven't been discussing bowl bid at Maryland, but as a coach he has some ideas on the subject.

"I took two teams to bowl games," he said, "and I can't see where there harm in it for the players. There wasn't a single class was any missed and the boys were able to be home for Christmas. Many their plants with the money you get out of schools can improve a big bowl." The Maryland coach doesn't go for the proposal for abolishing off-season practice. "A Maryland boy goes out for he wants to," he said. "I can't force him to go out any sport spring football.

It doesn't interfere with their studies for -and why all of the talk about football? We have men on the track team who practice nine months out of the year. out in the fall for cross country. Then they continue They go through the winter for the indoor season. In the spring they right on with outdoor meets. Basketball is almost as keep bad and so is baseball.

The football player practices four and a half months, yet all you hear is too much football. What are those big linemen going about, to keep them busy and in decent physical condition? You saw one of our tackles in the pictures of the Georgia game. He weighed 280 before spring practice last year. Now he weighs 225." Seeing Georgia Was Difference Jim was showing the pictures to Chuck Erickson, Ollie Cornand Mike Ronman of Carolina. "Carolina has seen these well, he said, "so.

I won't be showing any secrets. The chance anyway," Georgia was important in our winning. We saw what to see did with long passes against Carolina, so we' decided to they give them the short passes and plan against the long ones. "We saw what was Georgia's bread and butter play in the Carolina game and you had to change your normal pass in order to stop it. A lot of people don't understand defense what happens from one Saturday to the next when a team goes from good to bad.

They blame it on overconfidence. But I don't think many games are lost because of overconfldence. We were prepared to stop Georgia's best play because we had the opportunity of looking at it. It's just like you do in baseball. You know Babe Ruth pulls the ball so you shift your defense accordingly.

"A lot of people thought we were overconfldent last year when North Carolina State beat us. Of all the teams we played less reason to be overconfident against State because of we had in the series. It was more of a matter of Beattie the past games Feathers' coming up with a good defense. He knew Modselewski and didn't have to worry about his going to the wasn't fast outside. He knew Shemonski could go wide so he overshifted his defense to that side.

We weren't overconfident." went on to other football subjects, but that The big guy will have to come later.

SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1951. Deacons Rally to Defeat Colonials, 27 to 13; State Meets Indians; Tar Heels at Maryland Davis Tosses Wake Victory Slender Passer Rallies Deacs to Overcome 13-0 Halftime Deficit GW First-downs 18 Net yards rushing 108 Passes attempted 28 Passes completed 11 Yards gained passing 159 Passes intercepted Number of punts 11 Avg. distance punts 26 Fumbles Fumbles lost Yards lost penalties 80 By DICK HERBERT. Washington, Oct. Davis, the slender slinger from Wilson, came off the bench tonight to win another football game for the Wake Forest Deacons.

The 145- pound senior quarterback brought the Baptists from behind a 13-0 deficit late in the third quarter to a 27-13 victory over George Washington here tonight in Griffith Stadium. Until Davis was injected into the contest, the Deacons were an inept team which had been outplayed completely by band of Colonials who surprised everyone by holding an edge for almost three quarters. Davis Strikes Through Air. Dickie entered the contest seven minutes played in the second half. He immediately directed the Deacons to a touchdown which brought them to life and an eventual two-touchdown victory.

Davis completed seven out of eight passes for three touchdowns and 164 yards. He pitched out to Bruce Hillenbrand, who threw a pass for the final Deacon score. The Deacons sputtered, fumbled, and muffed their chances in the first half and allowed the Colonials, led by a 150-pound scrapper named Bino Barriera, to take a 13-0 lead at the half. Wake Forest missed another chance early in the third quarter. Then Coach Tom Rogers called upon his fireman, Davis, and immediately the burly Baptists began to click with an aerial offensive which bewildered the tiring Colonials.

Lewis Scores Twice. yards to Jack Lewis for the Davis passed, five yards and 53 first two touchdowns and then fired one 23 yards to Bob Ondilla for the third. Hillenbrand's scoring thrust was to Guido Scarton for 35 yards. After Davis came into the contest, the Colonials lost the inspiration which enabled them to play an outstanding game for a crowd of approximately 10,000 which rattled around in this American League ball park. The Deacons were behind, 13-0, midway in the third quarter when Davis was sent to work.

He had been in the game prior to that for only two punts. From the George Washington 47, Dickie directed nine which brought a score. He on passed 21-yards to Scarton, who made a fine catch on the 25. Two plays later he overshot Ondilla in the end zone for the only pass he didn't complete. The hard charging GW line had him trapped on a pass but he squirmed out of it and hit Ondilla for a first down on the 7.

Two plays advanced to the 5. Then Davis ran to his left near the sidelines, twisted and tossed a high which Lewis caught just in front of the goal posts at 11:35 the quarter. Sonny George kicked the point to cut the Colonials lead to 13-7. Deacs Go Ahead. because of an injury.

Barriera Leads GW The Deacons came right back to take the lead, 14-13, on the last play of the third period when Davis pitched a strike to Lewis on a play which gained 53 yards. After the kickoff of the first Deacons score, the Colonials made one and punted to the Wake first Hillenbrand made two yards. Then Davis dropped back, faked a couple of handoffs, and spotted Lewis in the clear. He hit him with a perfect pass which Lewis took on the 25 and outran Korcheck to the end zone. George again kicked the point for a 14-13 lead.

But Davis wasn't through. The Colonials again made a first-down after kickoff but had to kick. From the Wake 33, the Deacons moved 67 yards in seven plays for their third score. Hillenbrand made 35 yards on two carries and Davis up seven which moved the picked, the Colonials' 25. Davis passed to Ondilla on the 19.

After Scarton lost back to the 23, Dickie found Ondilla in the clear on the 10. Again his throw was true and the sophomore end had an easy time going over. SUB A ALL DEACS FIVEThe Colonials then made their last threat by rolling up four straight first downs which took them to the Wake 25, but Joe Koch intercepted a pass and from their 25, the Deacs went the remaining 75 yards on four plays. Davis fired one for 40 yards to Ondilla, who made a nice catch on the GW 35. Then Hillenbrand took a pitchout and threw a pass on the run which Scarton took on the 30.

He outran his pursuers to the goal. George kicked the point for the final 27-13 score. George Washington gave the De even Deacons though three its ace, quarters Handy of trouble Andy Davis, didn't get into the game. The triple-threat veteran was held out Barriera, all 150 pounds of him, though, took charge and was the big man until Dickie Davis came in. He slammed into the big Deacon line for consistent yardage and drove into it for both scores.

He took over the punting, and was a dangerous pass receiver. He a little guy with a lot of heart tonight. Bill George and Bill Finance led a Deacon defense which at times was not up to par. End Jim England was spectacular for the Colonials. First Half.

The Deacons couldn't do anything right in the first half against the inspired Colonials outplayed their favored foe by a wide margin. George Washington went the first time it got the ball for its first score. Then in the last 35 secSee DAVIS, Page Ten, BOB SHEMONSKI MARYLAND HALFBACK.

State will find itself in the favorite's roll for the first time since the season opened for them six weeks ago. After walloping Catawba handily, the Pack has dropped successive engagements with Carolina, Wake Forest, Clemson and Duke. Beattie Feathers, the former Tennessee and Chicago Bears' star, has vivid memories of last season's game played at Norfolk, Va. In that one, William and Mary blasted the State outfit, 34-0, on a day filled with snow, sleet, rain, and a wind which at times neared gale proportions. State went into that one badly crippled and came out of it in worse shape.

Fortunately, it, was the last game of the season. State is favored in this one by seven points. As usual, State will put its hopes for victory on the broad shoulders of Tailback Alex Webster. Webster will be ready to play today, along with two other stars who have been on the injured list. Injured May Play.

The big (210 pounds) Kearney, N. back came out of last week's 27-21 loss to Duke's Blue Devils with an injured back. Feathers is hoping he will be able to play most of the game today. Captain O'Rourke, State's ablest pass-receiver and the No. 1 fullback, is counted on only for limited duty and may not get into the game at all.

His place at fullback will be taken by either Harvey Yeates or George Suda. Yeates fills in on defense as an end and linebacker. Wingback Jimmy Smith also is expected to play after having missed all the rough work this past week. State's line play, as usual, will be led by Tackle Elmer Costa, as fine a lineman as any in the sprawling Rugged Terps Set For UNC High-Scoring Maryland Is Favored Over Carolina After 25 Years College Park, Oct. right of Maryland to the rating as the Southern Conference's strongest football team will be tested tomorrow afternoon by Carolina, which hasn't lost to the Terrapins in 25 years.

Jim Tatum's high scoring split-T machine is a solid two-touchdown choice to break a string of 10 games in which the Tar Heels have escaped defeat from Maryland. It is unbeaten in three games and ranked as the seventh best team in the nation. Thirty-two thousand spectators are expected for the conference clash in Byrd Stadium. It's Rough in Austin. Tatum, a Carolina star and coach and a former assistant of the Tar Heel's Carl Snavely, says he expects a difficult game.

"I would say," he ventured this afternoon, "that Carolina is much better was last season. I believe it is very good defensively. Don't let that Texas score fool you about Carolina's defense. I know what it means tin play in Austin early in the season. "I believe we had a better chance of beating Carolina last year than we do tomorrow.

I thought we would beat Carolina by passing last season and then it rained on the day of the game. We got a 7-7 tie." Tatum reports that all of his key operatives will be ready for action but that many of them may not be at top speed. "A lot of them got bumps and bruises down at Georgia," he said. "I wasn't able to hold our usual Thursday practice didn't want any of them to get worse." He will send a fast charging line headed by All-America Guard Bill Ward and a set of fast and powerful backs against Carolina's defense. Tatum believes Ward is one of the best.

The plains. Three veteran backs- Quarterback Jack Scarbath, Fullback Ed (Mighty Moe) Modzelewski, and Halfback Bob (Shoo Shoo) Shemonski-get another chance at the Tar Heels. The newcomer to the backfield quartet is Ralph Felton, a 190-pound sophomore right halfback who is an excellent runner and a good passer. Carolina, back in the victory umn after last week's win over South Carolina, isn't awed by Maryland's reputation. The Tar Heels are meeting the best in the country this season and figure Tatum's outfit is just another assignment.

They left Greensboro by train tonight and are due in Washington at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. They will come here before noon for additional rest. Freshman Larry Parker and Sophomore Billy Williams are expected to alternate at the tailback position in Snavely's attack, which this season also offers some to go along with the single wing and short punt. Despite its heavy schedule all key Carolina players are expected to be ready for duty. The main concern is about Bud Carson, safety man who starred in the win over State but who has seen limited duty since the HERBERT.

Gene Pedrick's passes and Russ Sutton's running paced Furman to five touchdowns and a stunning 35- 14 Southern Conference football victory over The Citadel here today. The Furman backs ran wild through The Citadel guards and tackles while Sutton practically was unstoppable going around the ends after taking pitch-outs from Pedrick.

The Citadel though hopelessly outplayed managed to match Furman's first touchdown and momentarily tie the score at 7-all on a sensational 45-yard scoring pass from Quarterback Jack Chandler to Right End Dick Zelinski. Furman rolled again from there, however, and The Citadel was out of the ball game until it pushed over a final touchdown in the closing minutes.

Little Blues scored a 19-0 victory over Rocky Mount's Booker Washington High here tonight in a conference contest. The Raleigh team now has won five games, lost none, and tied one.

It was the sixth successive loss for the locals. The Blues held a slim 7-0 lead at halftime, marching 65 yards for the touchdown. Halfback Louis Spencer passed to End James Covial at the Rocky Mount 40 and Covial ran to the 3, from where Fullback Willis Barnes ploughed over. John Baker, the Blues' 290-pound lineman, moved into the backfield to run the extra point, over. In period, the Blues struck again.

Taking over on the Rocky Mount 37, Baker and Spencer alternated carrying to the 4 from where Baker climaxed the drive by bucking over tackle to pay-dirt. Baker was stopped on the point try. The Blues scored their final touchdown in the last chapter when Carl McNeil intercepted a pass on the Rocky Mount 41 and returned it to the locals' 12. Tom Johnson ended the 12-yard march by going over from the 1. Baker ran the extra point.

Longest run of the game was a 46-yard jaunt by Chester Parker. The Blues led in first-downs, 15 to 8. Agganis' Team Upsets Pacific Boston, Oct.

Discharged a few days before BU's opening game this fall, Agganis gradually worked himself into shape for tonight's sensational performances. He completed 17 out of 2 passing attempts for 192 yards that were vital in each of BU's four touchdown drives after an interception ruined its initial march. GOOD KICKER.

The Dukes again will quarterbacking of Freshman Jerry Barger, with Charlie Smith and Piney Field doing most of the running from the halfback slots. Full back Jack Kistler is slated to round out the starting backfield. Injuries still plague the Blue Devils.
