MARYLAND FACTS FOR 1949

Press, Radio, Television and Magazine Accommodations

This year football comes back to the campus and all borne

games will be played at Byrd Stadium, College Park. Tbe seat-

ing capacity bas been enlarged so that nearly 18,000 people will

be able to witness games. Of these, however, nearly 10,000 will

be students and they are served first.

We ask the members of the press, radio, etc., covering the

game to bear with us in ticket allotments due to our limited space.

On the other hand we are attempting to provide better press boxarrangements and more room. Accommodations for workingphotographers, news-reel and video-reel men will also be ar-

ranged.

Space has been provided for special parking of press cars.

Tickets will be given out and you 'will be notified before gametime of the location. Runners will be on hand to assist you in

anything.

In the enlarged box, we are attempting to have WesternUnion move their facilities so that they will be directly in back of

the correspondents. Either contact us or Mr, Sweeney of the

Washington Bureau and he will provide a telegrapher for you.

It is important to decide whether it is play by play or after gamefile.

In the Press Box itself a competent spotter from both teams will

be on hand with the Maryland man handling a small microphoneto keep you abreast of tackles, subs, etc It is his aim and our

primary endeavor to see that he does not antagonize the membersof the fourth estate."

A professional statistician and chart man "will be provided

and working press men will receive complete statistics at the endof the half and the game. You will also receive at your assigned

space a program, with numerical team lists of both squads, injury

lists and all important announcements.

Typewriters, paper, pencils, coffee, sandwiches with mustard—and even such extra-curricular activities as blondes, brunettes,

redhaids and after-hour club cards might even be supplied, for

our prescribed duty is to entertain and assist our working visitors.

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 MarylandAgricultural College) at College Park. These institutions weremerged in 1920.

In 1807 the College of Medicine of Maryland was organized, thefifth medical school in the United States. The first class wasgraduated in 1810. A permanent home was established in 1814-1815

by the erection of the building at Lombard and Greene Streets in

Baltimore, the o,Idest structure in America devoted to medical teach-ing. Here was founded one of the first medical libraries (and the first

medical school library) in the United States. In 1812 the GeneralAssembly of Maryland authorized the College of Medicine of Marylandto, "annex or constitute faculties of divinity, law, and arts andsciences," and by the same act declared that the "colleges or faculties

thus united should be constituted an university by the name and underthe title of the University of Maryland." By authority of this act,

steps were taken in 1813 to establish "a faculty of law," and in 1823a regular school of instruction in law was opened. Subsequentlythere were added: in 1882 a Department of Dentistry which wasabsorbed in 1923 by the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery (foundedin 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 thename of the Maryland Agricultural College, the second agricultural

college in the Western Hemisphere. For three years the College wasunder private management. In 1862 the Congress of the United Statespassed the Land Grant Act. This act granted each State and Terri-

tory that should claim its benefits an appropriate amount of unclaimedwestern lands, in place of scrip, the proceeds from the sale of whichshould 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 includ-ing military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are relatedto agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such a manner as theLegislatures 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 wasaccepted by the General Assembly of Maryland, and the MarylandAgricultural College was named as the beneficiary of the grant.

Thus the College became, at least in part, a State institution. In thefall of 1914 control was taken over entirely by the State. In 1916the General Assembly granted a new charter to the College, andmade it the Maryland State College.

In 1920, by an act of the State Legislature, the University ofMaryland was merged with the Maryland State Co'lege, and theresultant institution was given the name University of Maryland.

THE FRESHMAN OUTLOOK FOR 1949

The frosh this season will be once again coached by Bill Meek,

former Tennessee backfield great who is beginning his third year

with Jim Tatum. Meek will likewise work with the varsity in manyimportant assignments.

Assisting him this year will be John Cudmore, a two year veteran.

The team of Meek and Cudmore has been intact for quite a few

seasons having coached together while in the Army at Fort Benning,

Georgia. "Quiet John" played at Stetson U. (Fla.) and also dabbled

in professional ice hockey.

Two newcomers to coaching this season will be Francis Evans

and Bernie Sniscak. Both men finished their playing careers with

the Terps last year and have been invited to assist in moulding future

Old Line power. Evans was an end; Sniscak a halfback.

Using both the split-T and the single wing in his teachings,

Coach Meek will likewise drill his charges into platoon-system foot-

ball. Having lost only to William and Mary last season by one point,

they went on to win over Fork Union Military, Georgetown, George

Washington and West Virginia. This last mentioned game is some-

what the highlight of the season as it is played on neutral grounds,

Cumberland, Md., for a Knights of Columbus charity.

Just who to watch for at this date in frosh football is far fetched

and besides since the men aren't to be registered as official students

until later, it's somewhat against the rule.

From the frosh, though, stems the future fodder for the varsity.

Head coach Jim Tatum of the varsity looks with eager eyes to their

doings all during the season and a careful check is kept of all boys,

for in them rests the future of good football at Maryland.

MARYLAND FOOTBALL THROUGH THE YEARS

(Editors Note: The history of football here has been compiledby Bill Hottel, who for some 25 years has been Mr. Maryland Sports.

In order to bring it up to date with all records correct, a painstakingsurvey has been made in which correspondence has gone out all overthe country tracking down the true story. With great pleasure andmany thanks, it is hereby presented for your perusal.)

The first 20 years of football at Maryland were the hardest andstill are for the historian who strives for accuracy. About the onlything definite and undisputable is that the grid sport was started of-

ficially in 1892 and that the game, like the institution, is rapidly grow-ing in size and caliber.

Since football was started it has been fostered under three dif-

ferent names: the original Maryland Agricultural College, MarylandState College from 1916 to. 1919, inclusive, and the University of Mary-land since 1920. Byrd, now president of the University, was gradu-ated from M. A. C. in the class of '08 and coached under aT of theinstitution's titles. He had been an all-around athlete in his under-graduate days, being outstanding in football, baseball and track.

There has been much confusion, and it never will be fully clari-

fied, about the coaching of the early teams. However, it is prettywell established that the captain of the squad on the elevens from1892 through 1901 was the playing mentor and that D. John Markey,a graduate of Frederick High School who had studied at WesternMaryland College, was the first full-time coach. He took over in

1902 and remained through 1904. Markey, now a retired Army gen-eral living at Walkersville, Md., served in the Spanish-American War,enlisting at the age of 15, and also served conspicuously in WorldWars I and II. In telling about his grid experience and verifyinghis three-year stay at College Park, he said:

"When I came out of the Army at the close of the Spanish-American War, where I played on an all-college regimental elevenof the First Maryland Volunteer Infantry, I organized a team thatplayed games in the State and the District of Columbia in the seasonof 1900. I then was assistant coach of Western Maryland underMickey Whitehurst, one of the best known athletes of his time."

Harry D. Watts of New York, one o,f Maryland's nationally prom-inent alumni, who was captain and fullback in 1903, recalls withpleasure playing under Markey in 1902. Watts, who also recalls thecaptain coaching system, started playing in 1901 when E. B. Dunbarfunctioned as mentor and leader.While the captain did the coaching in the years from 1892 through

1901—and this also is verified by Clifton Fuller of Cumberland, who.played on the 1892 and 1893 teams, and Grenville Lewis, the greatfullback who led the 1896 outfit and now lives in Southern Mary-land—there always was a higher authority in charge. Prof. H. M.Strickler, who came from Randolph-Macon, directed affairs from1892 through 1897 and also played on some of the teams. He wasdescribed by Fuller as a physical education teacher who knew little

about football. An athletic committee ruled the roost in 1898 through

PAGE FIFTEEN

1899 and in 1900 the late Prof. Charles S. Richardson came on to the

scene to head the Athletic Board until his retirement in 1939. Hewas the person mainly instrumental in bringing Byrd back to his

alma mater. He wasn't a football expert, either, but he knew andapreciated human values.

In 1893, the Farmers or Aggies, as they then were labeled, cap-

tained and tutored by S. H. Harding, won all six games, defeatingEastern High School, 36-0; Central High School, 6-0, and Orient A. C,16-6, all of Washington; Baltimore City College, 18-0; St. John's Col-

lege of Annapolis, 6-0, and Western Maryland, 18-0.

One of the most confusing factors in efforts to unravel the OldLine football puzzle of yesteryears is that in the early days of thegame the Medical School in Baltimore had a team. In fact, M. A. C.

and the Medical School met seven times, according to our records,

each winning three games and playing a tie. However, the troublearises from Maryland's opponents, some of whom whipped the Medi-cal School and wanted to charge it against the College Park Insti-

tution. Most of this, we believe, finally has been ironed out, makingthe records against our present rivals as correct as possible.

But getting back to those unbeaten seasons, M. A. C. had anotherin 1896 when the team was led and coached by Lewis, rated an all-

time great on the diamond as well as on the gridiron. Mainly on thestrength of his own skill and fortitude, Business High and CentralHigh of Washington were beaten, 34-0, and 10-0; Bethel MilitaryAcademy, 20-0; Alexandria High, 18-0; Western Maryland, 16-6, andthe Maryland Medical School and Gallaudet College elevens were heldto scoreless ties. Lewis also had to do some reorganization workas there was no football in 1895 due to a dispute with the M. A. C.

commandant. In fact, there practically was no competition at all

during the 1895-96 term.Byrd came closest to a sweep in 1931 when the Old Liners won

eight games, tied the powerful Kentucky team that contained Ship-wreck Kelly and other noted stars, and lost only to Vanderbilt at

Nashville. Navy was one of the victims and this was the team thatwrecked the Dick Harlow coached Western Maryland juggernaut,41-6. Seven of the starters were all-State choices—Al Pease, end;Ernie Carliss, tackle; Jess Krajcovic, guard, and the entire backfieldof Ray Poppleman, Bozie Berger, Shorty Chalmers and Al Woods, thesame balding burnt-almond haired guy who is still holding forth in

football and physical education at College Park.Another noted old Terp, as player and coach, is Burton Shipley,

who has "earned his oats" on past performances, not to mention his

present worth. He was a stripling when Byrd came back to CollegePark and was one of Curley's foremost all-around athletes for severalyears, the only Old Liner to ever win six letters in both football andbaseball. There were prep and sub-freshman years in those days in

addition to four collegiate terms. Ship quarterbacked the eleven inthat startling 6-0 win over Western Maryland in 1911, scoring theonly touchdown. Byrd was special coach for that game and thetriumph blazed the trail for his permanent return to his alma materand subsequent fame. Burt, who also is in the Physical EducationDepartment, has tutored the varsity nine for 26 years and handledbasketball for 24 years before giving it up.

And also outstanding in that old regime, and still the best lacrosse

coaching pair in the country, are Jack Faber and Al Heagy, whoalong with Woods, were the highly capable and willing "lambs"whenever a snarl occurred in the football coaching set-up. Theywith the late Roy Mackert, equally great as a fullback and tackle in

his grid days, were Byrd's righthand men who. carried on gracefully

when material, as a whole, was far from being as plentiful and pro-

ficient as nowadays. However, to us old-timers, those were the happydays when Byrd was content to win 60 percent of his games with theadded relish of upsetting one of the big-timers most every season,

such as Penn, Yale, Syracuse, Rutgers, etc.

And on the famous 1923 team, that whipped Penn and greatly

outplayed and came within an ace of licking Yale's Eastern champion-ship eleven that had routed all other opposition, were five linemenwho never had played football before matriculating at College Park.The score was 16-14, Yale. All the writers said it should have been28-10, Maryland. And the Bill Supplee, who played on that team andwho was chosen All-America end by three leading authorities, is thesame Dr. Supplee who is a valued professor on the University facultyand a mmber of the Athletic Board.

And in mentioning the old-timers, and space limits us to a few,

we certainly should not overlook United States Senator Millard E.

Tydings, a member of the Board of Regents, who managed the 1908eleven and Dr. Ernie Cory, who captained it. Dr. Cory, a familiarfigure around the campus, is State entomologist, an Athletic Boardmember for many years and perennial treasurer of the "M" Club.

And getting down to present day football, it certainly has becomepretentious and complex. Where if you had a fairly good startingline-up and a half-dozen reserves in Byrd's day and a good manyyears following you were considered well fixed, we have reached thestage of 44 varsity players, sometimes 55, the two platoon system, onefor defense and the other for offense, and unlimited substitutions.

But to get back to the historical angle, which we were supposedto write about, George Hoblitzell, of whom we have no real back-ground, was the organizer of football at College Park. While astudent he formed an informal team in 1888 that continued through1897 and played several games with minor teams. It also is note-worthy that Dr. W. W. Skinner of Kensington, Md., now retired, andformer chairman of the Board of Regents, was captain and quarter-back of the first team in 1892 and generally active in fostering M.A.C.athletics during his undergraduate days

Big Jim Tatum is beginning his third football season here atMaryland. He came to Terp land from Oklahoma where he had anenviable record. In his first year with Maryland his record wasseven wins, two defeats and two ties. The season brought an invita-tion—and eventual tie-game—with Georgia (20-20) in the 'GatorBowl. This was the first Bowl game in which a Terp 11 had everparticipated.

One of the most publicized, if not one of the greatest backs inMaryland history, was also produced on that 1947 aggregation in theperson of Lu Gambino. His career was closed for 1948, however, when

PAGE SEVENTEEN

he was declared ineligible. This hurt the Terps' running attack andperhaps played the major part in the six win, four loss record for 1948.

However, with an eye for the future, Tatum has supplementedhis already experienced staff for 1949 with three very competent andtop coaches in Jack Hennemier, Max Reed and Babe Wood. He hasalso on tap another possible football great in Ray Krouse, giant tackle.

Other top men to look for are Bob Ward, guard of distinction,

and Jim Brasher, center. Filling that offensive center post will bemost important and it still is a toss-up. Good sophs to look at arelinemen Bill Dovell, Chick Fry, Charles Theiber and backs "MightyMoe" Modzelewski, Buck Early, Walt Boeri, Shoo-shoo Shemonskiand several others.
