14 Evening Journal, Wilmington, Monday, Aug. 19, 1974 Gold's 50-Yard TD Pass Started Blue Meelin STATISTICS LUC GOLD 14 21 1 54 1-4-0 274 S3 25 4-16-4 78 3-2 2-3 First Downs Yards Rushino; Yards Passing Passing Totals Yards Fumbles Punting Return Yardagt Penalties Blue Cold 5-34 2 3 33 2 44 161 t-43 3-25 4 21 7-41 "The wall was supposed to form to one side," Carney said, recalling his many-times-detoured voyage to the Blues 10 that set up the second touchdown, a four-yard Taylor to Remo Moffa pass. "I saw an opening up the middle I never had a return like that." The game almost hadn't-either, with only one 69-yarder in 1966 standing in the way of a record. But unlike boxing matches, where a merciful referee can step in and say three magic letters T-K-O the carnage continued. After White's Secretariat dashes produced Gary Hack-ett's two-yard touchdown run, the fourth producing a 27-0 halftime margin, was a mar-ved.

Literally. "Thoir tight end (Tom Kelly) was coming up the middle," Tom Marvel was saying from underneath r-'s Sussex Pines Golf Club caD. "The pass (from Rob Carney) was kinda high, so I jumped up, looked inside." As was the case most of the day, there was nobody homa. "I didn't think I could get to corner flag," Marvel added, "but then Dave Dolphin threw a perfect blocic and there I was." It was a 55-yard runback. It was a day filled with easy rides.

And repeated knockout punches. "We just couldn't control the middle all day," a Blues guard John Morabito conceded. "We delayed, trapped, everything double teamed (Hicks) after a while, and they were wild men!" Maybe it was a pre-game pep talk from Coach Jim Colbert, who after all had taken Smyrna, a Henlopen Conference football Appal a-chia, and turned it into a state tournament team in two years. "I was juiced," Hicks said. "The man had me psyched." "Never heard a better psych Job in my life," Taylor agreed.

After that, it was easy to float like superflies and sting beebees. STAR TREK Jim Cyphers of Claymont played an excellent game, repeatedly roaming far out of his range to make diving tackles John Carney, on living in Blue territory (Claymont), but attending a Gold school: "Call it the juice factor" Gary Traynor. of Dover, who will attend Dartmouth with Carney, ran six yards for the fifth TD and Dickinson's Remo Moffa caught Taylor's third TD strike from four yards out to close out the scoring Wilmington's Mark Mason, an early standout, came into Gold locker room to congratulate the winners Mason: "What can I say? they played super. You can't oeat perfect execution." ended, the Golds offense and defense had Muhammad Ali's speed, George Foreman's power. When Taylor wasn't throwing, which was over per cent of the time, Cape Henlo-pen's Henry White, game's most valuable player, was dancing, dragging tack-lcrs, sprinting his way to 110 yards in nine carries, setting up three of the six Gold scores.

"It boils down to getting enjoyment out of this game," White said, mindful of the 10,317 witnesses who agreed. "You want to play in that situation. Last week we got the basics of the Wing-T down, this week we had a iot of fun and just finished things up. We're a family, how could we go wrong?" "We just brushed up on plays this week," added Stan Hicks, enormously successful middle guard, whose 16 tackles led a Gold defense By PAI SMITH The Blue and Gold All-Stars were spending the early minutes of the game experimenting like Joe Krazer and Muhammad Ali prcbir.g and jabbing through an opening round. A couple of line thrusts, a first down, resistance, punt There are two minutes left.

In the first quarter of Saturday's game at Delaware Stadium when the Gold offense takes the field after intercepting a Rob Carney pass and returning it 14 yards to midfeld. The 9-29 Wagggle may sound like a new Mazda model, but to the Blues, it was the first in a series of knockdown punches that led to a 41-0 defeat, the second most onesided in the series' 19-ycar history. "I noticed they had worked a series of drop-back passes." S3id Blue Coach Joe Heverin, whose job turned out to be that allowed only 79 net yards and three first downs total offense. Not surprisingly, he was unanimously named most valuable lineman. "I owe most of my success to (tackle Bill) Glennon and the other guys.

We were prepared for double teaming, practiced it all week. I played nose up on center but the power-I splits out wide. So we brushed up on that, too. Together." So the family that brushed together, crushed together. The Golds selected a variety of blows that would boggle the mind of the most sophisticated football or fight fan.

"I think I saw a slight crumbling after that first serve," Blue Coach Heverin 0 owned up. "The punt return, well, that hurt us too." The punt return. 65 yards by St. Mark's John Carney on the next series, brought with it a series of moves that turned the crumbling into a full-scale earthquake. keeping his 11 fighters away from the ropes.

"And it was pretty plain to see (Jeff) Taylor is a super thrower. But still Heverin wasn't quite as successful hiding his disappointment as Taylor was hiding Dan Powell, a slender Gold who somehow got behind all those well-designed Rlue X's to take Taylor's perfectly-thrown spiral for the game's first score. It was a 50-yard play. "No," Taylor conceded, "I didn't think a guy could get THAT open, but the play had worked so well in practice, we just had to use it. People think of the as a running offense, but we thought we could open up a bit.

They were rotaiing their zone and we managed to pick it up."
