Scarpath today is an awarded winning carver of birds. We met him a few months after I had failed to find anyone @ THE BALTIMORE SUN or THE WASHINGTON POST who wanted to cover the 100th anniversary of Coach Bryant's birth. Scarpath maintains that the foundation that Coach Bryant laid @ Maryland in '46 was in a way responsible for the Maryland National Championship team of 1951.
Scarpath told us that the first time he took a shower with his Maryland team, he looked over and saw one guy with scars from two WWII/Korea bullet wounds and another with a scar from a bayonet wound and he thought, "HOW IN THE HELL AM I GONNA CONTROL THIS HUDDLE?" He went to Coach Tatum (who took over for COACH BRYANT @ Maryland) and told him his concern. Tatum had a team meeting and told them that Jack was THE BOSS. Jack said he never heard a peep in the huddle.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Scarbath?fbclid=IwAR1IiR4AWfaG3f-CPdMv1Nxl5gveNzXzuoAPZD_BakLRQzMOuwV-LZP_q4U
