J. Now, the Bucknell quarterback is Paul Terhes, a marvelous passer, one of the best in the country, who worried Delaware to death Saturday. In Bucknell's touchdown drive, he pitched 1 000 with eight completions in eight attempts and Grant's tailor, anyhow, at least on game days, and this time he was dripping wet, soaked sweatshirt, sweatpants and shoes suddenly making him a light-heavyweight. His Blue Hens had just dunked him into the showers of the New Year's Eve-ish dressing room under the old concrete stands at Bucknell. The whole scene looked like an Olsen and Johnson bit.

A tackle muscled his way through the room, and he had another sweat-suited gent resignedly draped over his shoulder, head dangling. The drape belonged to Tubby Raymond; he too was headed for the water. Then three naked collegians mug- 'J Colts and Giants IS earing Replay of 'Dream ByUnited Press 7nteriatonoI Johnny Unitas and Charley Conerly are pitching bulheyes again and their target appears to be a replay of the "dream game" between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants for the National Football League title.

Faced with the prospect him. Serious stuff to Travis, but a light weapon for the Blue Hens to employ in their pyscho-log'ical preparations.

In 1955, as in '59, the Blue Hens won eight and lost one, but Nelson's vote is seconded. If he thinks this is greatest Delaware team he's had, then that makes it the greatest Delaware team ever exclamation point. For this is the Golden Era of of D.

football. They never had the talent, the competition nor the coaching as in this decade, since 'way back in 1889 when the very first Blue Hens went out and won one, lost one and tied one and called it a year. In 1941, '42 and '46, Bill Murray's Delawares didn't lose any games, and that makes them the mathematical immortals of Newark. Phooey. That was a Class league.

HAPPY ENDING A smiling Dave Nelson and two of his beaming Delaware warriors, Tackle John Mordas (72) and Tackle Ray Klapinsky (75), stroll off the field after the Blue Hens wind up their season by winning at Bucknell on Saturday, 22 6. The Hens finished with an 81 record, concluding one of their most successful seasons in Nelson's nine-year coaching regime at Delaware.

No small feat, for Eachus, like Terhes, was in the process of setting two Bucknell records for most receptions in' one game, seven, and in a sea son, 37. was final proof of the might of Delaware, for this was believed to be the best Bucknell club in years and it played that ay, too. For the benefit of the Bucknell alumni in the house, stick with Bob Odell.

The young coach won only one game in his debut last year, and Bucknell still hasn't beaten Delaware since '51, but the one-time Penn henfis making progress. No longer does a U. of D. club cackle like a chicken and right there defeat Bucknell before a ball is snapped. The Blue Hens deserved a pushover after the bruising and record-spoiling defeat they walked into against soupedup Bowling Green the previous week, but Bucknell wasn't having any.

Its pitch-and-catch game caught Delaware at 6-6 and only relentless pressure by the Blue Hens through the last two innings finally wore out the Bisons and Jheir spectacular passer, Paul Terhes. Around the roast, beef in Sunbury's Hotel Edison that night, there were the usual mixed emotions. Joy that hard victory had capped a sweet season; sorrow that so much talent has to be graduated. "I never expected anything like 8-and-l," Nelson reflected. "And I'm even proud of that defeat, the way the boys put out against Bowling Green.

There wasn't any lessening of their intensity." So the Admiral will have his Saturdays to himself for another year, more or less, as he retires from the autumn's madness and the slick magazines into the comparatively peaceful limbo of banquets, clinics, con ference meetings. Yesterday, already, he was at a Middle Atlantic Conference huddle. He's all set with the calendar Karlier, when something heroic really was needed it was still 6 6 he prevented a Bucknell touchdown. As the1 last challenger, Cosaboom rode Fullback George Moncilovich to earth on the Hen 25 after the fullback had outraced all other' Blue Hens for a 43-yard gain. So there wasn't a happier Hen than Cosaboom, and maybe they'll use the same gimmick next year.

Terhes will be a senior then, too. There are a lot of angles to this Terhes gent. He and Dick Peloquin, Delaware reserve guard who played brilliantly, were room mates at Bordentown Military Institute. And he once beat Mike Boyd, Delaware tackle, out of a catching job on a Teener League baseball team in Delaware County, Pa. This was the closest 22 to 6 game you ever saw, and you wouldn't have been anxious to bet on favored Delaware after the first half.

That's when it was 6 6 and Terhes and Eachus were acting like the best bat tery since Larry Sherry and John Roseboro. On a cold but bright day, before a well-papered house of 8,000, the Blue Hens scored the first time they had possession. Terhes' punt against a strong ft 'U pastime, a mood, a wonderful drink! jf -if.

Tony Sura vitch made the big gain, the! blond fullback busting through the middle and cutting his left for 33 yards to the Bucknell 17, after a fake handoff to Jack Turner fooled the Bisons.

Suravitch, on two more carries got a first down on the 2, and then the next two years, by the way. And you may like to know that a new opponent, Ohio University, has been booked for 1900. The Ohio U. that just missed conquering Bowling Green in the Mid-American Conference showdown game on Saturday. The '60 Prospects mills IS IT FOR THE THREE Rl SHNIKS AND GASPIV Gaspare Pellegrini and Mark Hurm and Ray Klapin-sky, the rest of the nine starting seniors although 11 started Saturday in a sentimental gesture and so on through the departing ranks.

No bowl games, but it would be nice if some of them could make one of those postseason all-star deals. See what you can do, coach. There was only one bowl nibble, from the Tangerine Bowl, but even this was a timid one. The Orlando, promotion already had Presbyterian, and phoned Delaware despite the fact that it thought the Blue Hens were 20 points better than its host attraction. The Tangerine Bowl goes by Dick Dunkel Ratings, even as the guy with the dollar pool, in its selection.

So wait 'til next year, and it looks all right, considering there will be 18 shoes to fill. The only regulars back will be the ends, Dick Broadbent and Mickey Heinecken. But you can pick a line from the '59 second string, like Mike Boyd, Earthquake Nelson and Joe Jerkovich for tackles. Boyd' has started games. Dick Peloquin already is an outstanding guard, and soph Earl Ritchie will make his bid.

Lude is hoping a Seaside Heights, N. kid named Dick Mahoney, 205 pounds, returns after an academic fallout in the spring. lie's a good one. Dick Hammer's a rough customer at center. And Ted Kempski, the Salesianum southpaw who transferred from Virginia this semester, could become the No.

1 quarterback, on what he's shown the coaches in his workouts. If either Ted or third-level Barry Fetter-man makes the grade, Gary llebert will play halfback. Otherwise, llebert will quarter. Dave Beinner will be the No. 1 halfback, as of now, and there also will be Vern Walch and Ken Schroeck.

For fullback, Travis Cosaboom, who played so well the last half of this season, and Pape Lukk, the Esthonian punter. And there are some current frosh who will contend. How would they say it in London? Oh, yes. The Blue Hens is dead. Long live the Blue lions.
