Business Stocks Pages 21-24 Sunday Newsjournal Wilmington, Nov. 20, 1977 Delaware crashes Colgate poeiis By TOM TOMASHEK It was the final chapter in a tale of two seasons at Delaware, the worst of times and the best of times. The worst may seem a millenium away right now, but they indeed were real an opening-game defeat, losses to arch-rivals Temple and Villanova and a six-game record of 2-3-1 that offered the makings of the worst Blue Hen effort since the infamous campaign of '67. The best, however, was saved until last. Coach Tubby Raymond's tenacious troops put it all 'There was hardly any similarity to the intensity and quality of play today as compared to Eastern Kentucky, West Chester and Morgan State," he added of probably Delaware's three poorest games of the season.

"It's just a different football team." Delaware was an outstanding football team yesterday because of two things, one being that the defense played its finest game in an overall excellent season, and two, the offense received major support from halfbacks Craig Carroll and Ivory Sully. The two backs combined for 202 yards on the together yesterday and turned on a capacity crowd of 23,029 in Delaware Stadium, rallying for three touchdowns in the second half against previously unbeaten Colgate, The Blue Hens powered their way to a 21-3 victory, their fourth straight in a 6-3-1 season. It was the Red Raiders' first loss in 11 games and certainly spoiled any bowl hopes. 'It was beautiful, no doubt about it." chirped Raymond, who certainly will be listening for a telephone call from the NCAA regarding a berth in the Division II playoffs. "This is the idea the progress of building a football team.

ground and Carroll hauled in one Komlo pass for a 75-yard touchdown that sparked Delaware's offensive fireworks with 1:15 remaining in the third quarter. 'It was rather significant," said a smiling Raymond, referring to what was ultimately the winning TD. "It gave us a boost. We were just struggling and needed the big play. 'We looked up at the clock and decided we'd better get one on the board before the wind changed," he said, referring to a 15-mile-an-hour see BLUE HENS Sports 8 fA; 7 Carroll last shot winner 1 i tie til Colgate fullback Pat Healy runs into a wall of Delaware tacklers, headed by linebacker Gene Tanzosh (59) and defensive end Mike onrlarcnn loft AurJnet vact At I a rf wvi a In fn1qiaM Clndnim uauuu auu av.i uluuig taiM.i uaj game ui tt cu oiauiuuu "Yes." Craig Carroll said, almost whispering.

"People did expect too much from me." "I was probably to blame at times." Coach Tubby Raymond admitted. "I kept looking for more and more from him." Craig Carroll would push on the gas peddle and the motor would sputter. His body would make all the right moves, but by the time he reached the holes they were closed. Take yesterday. The full house at Delaware Stadium had just about had it with Craig Carroll Here the Blue Hens were, playing the most important game of the season against undefeated Colgate and No.

30 was getting smashed at the line or close to it. By the middle of the second period Tubby Raymond summoned the senior halfback to the bench and he was greeted by a chorus of boos from the customers. His rej placement was applauded. "I heard the boos," Carroll would say later. "There was nothing I could do except try harder the next time.

The big thing is not to get down on yourself." Carroll, however, was running out of time. What had become a frustrating season was down to a little more than a period. Colgate was clinging to a 3-0 lead over the Blue Hens and the halfback had little to show for his final day's work. "I kept telling Jeff Komlo that I was open on the curl," Carroll related. "I was getting itchy for him to throw it to me.

It's a play where Brian Adam curls around in front of the line and I go straight down the left sideline. I had been open several times. Coach Raymond knew it, too." "We knew from Colgate's game films that Carroll probably would be open on the curl," said Raymond. "I was concerned about the time. I wanted to try it with the wind to our backs." With 1:28 remaining in the third quarter, the Hens gained possession on their own 25.

The time was right. Komlo called for the curl and, as expected, Carroll was dancing all alone near the sideline.
