  LITTLE SPORT Eighteen Maryland football players went to the Missouri game Just for the ride and that was one Of many problems facing Jim Tatum and his picture-weary coaching stair today. Tatum took IS players along last week end. but with the Terps trailing for So minutes and Is seconds before beating the Tigers, 1910. he couldn’t afford to do any experimenting.
