Teague. covering from the opposite side of the field, was revealing that he was "happily surprised at the way we stopped their offense." It was a game In which both teams were fired up due to the closeness of the school, the importance of the game and a raid of the Furman campus this week by Citadel students. Signs of the rivalry were clearly cellent. "I guess that Farris' kicking was a very important thing and we had a couple of key interceptions," he commented.

Fullback Bob Elliott kired the extra point for the 7-0 marein with only 2:54 remaining in the quarter.

"We knew they had the spread but we just didn't cover it as well as we should have. King admitted that he expected the Bulldogs to score at least nine points. "But I thought our offense would score more." Teague said his Cadets had a mental lapse on covering the screen pass that went for a touchdown for Furman and added, "we played good in spots. I was pleased with the play of our line, though." Teague said the Buldlogs had only one new play. "And that one didn't work very well, so we won't talk about it" He wouldn't elaborate on whether this was the best game the Bulldogs had played this season but added, "it good to win and I just don't classify them." "Furman has a good football team and we had to come back and play good ball to beat them." he admitted.

It was a sad day for King whose Paladins dropped from the conference running with a 2-2 record with conference play completed and a happy day for Teague who saw his Bulldogs bound into the lead apparently to stay with a 4-1 conference record and only one game left to play in the loop.
