INDIVIDUALLY, the game down and falling five yards short on the other. of the work with two end sweeps, one for 18 yards and Collectively, Delaware's football forces scored their fourth straight season-opening victory at Delaware Stadium Saturday with a 39-7 drubbing of Gettysburg that made the that had Coach Tubby Ray-1863 battle version seem like a mond wearning a Cheshire- "Our mistakes weren't out of this world," Raymond said after the three-straight Lam- bert cup-winning Hens had upped his record to 35-17.

"No- body fainted at the sight of the ball." Nor at the sight of Gettys- burg. Delaware scored the first time it got the ball, going 60 yards on six plays before the crowd of 15,414 was seat- ed, Covin did the lion's share warmup. Defensively, the Blue Hens held the not-so-speeding Bui- lets to minus 32 yards rushing and only 86 yards overall, of four Bullet misfires, return-finally losing a shutout on a ing one 31 yards for a touch- 0 (ID A ft Ml game.

The trio of Bullet passers completed 16 of 25 attempts for 118 yards. DELAWARE, meanwhile, made most of its headway Bullets again i ting open receivers, the Hens lacked much semblance of offensive punch after the opening drive, leaving it up to the fired-up defense to hold Gettysburg without a first down until four minutes were left in the half. Neff, whose arm is the principal reason he succeeded Jim Colbert, hit only two of seven passes for 27 yards in the first half, but was 6-for-13 before his third-period exit in favor of fellow-senior Bob Smith. "It took Sam a while to get under way," Raymond agreed. "He felt better later.

You don't take a quarterback out of the box, no matter who the crowd's cheering for. I heard them booing. You learn in the game, not on the sidelines or watching the game film. You have to realize he's flesh and blood; he's no machine out there." The Hens came out in machine-like precision after intermission, turning Gettysburg lapses into two quick scores. After the entire Bullet line had stopped Kahoe at the goal line early in the third period, the Hen defense came back to allow the Bullets just two yards on three rushes.

The Hens got the ball at the Bullet 41 and four plays later Bill Armstrong was barreling eight yards over right tackle for a touchdown. A minute later O'Brien had a Henry Reese pass tucked in his midsection and roared into the end zone. "There was nobody there to stop me," O'Brien said. "I had good blocking. I guess I should have scored on my first interception, too, but I turned to avoid one guy and two others got me." DELAWARE reserves took over after that with junior Larry Washington, whose kickof fs were reaching the end zone while his extra-point kicks were finding ever-new directions to veer off line, scoring onathree-yard fourth-quarter run.

Sophomore Blair Gaviness, a find from J.E.B. way to StuarTHigh in Falls Church, shot through the JTt Wilis ir waj, W'v fs fflmmtiiiifftnw i.i.nn iiiuii iirTTri wmnl immm nmniwuumiiaw AIR SUSPENSION-Soph running back Glenn Covin glides to 29-yard Delaware touchdown with 2.20 gone in marked the spectacular var- sity debut of sophomore Glenn Covin, who rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown with exhibitions of breakaway speed style grin afterwards.

How Delaware opponents did: kick coming the second, a sidestepping masterpiece that flirted with the sideline and goal line mar ker, for 29 yards and the Hens' first TD with only 2:20 gone in the season. SENIOR Gardy Kahoe's 1- yard plunge, which was more like six inches, made it 12-0 which is how it ended at half- time. With starting quarter- back Sam Neff having trouble making connections or spot 14-7 at halftime, the Engineers rallied to topple C.W. Post 24-14 for their second straight win. Don Diorio scored three TDs.

It's a new ball game defensively and we had some containment problems. But whatever I see is better than what I expect. A lot of things I worried about didn't happen." And that is about as optimis tic as Raymond will ever get with one game down and nine to go.
