Florida, ranked lift, spotted Tennessee 10 points in the opening period and then roared back behind the passing of Jim- Super Team Effort Gives Bullets Upset Over Bisons It's been some time since Gettysburg has gotten a 100 percent performance from its entire football team. The Bullets gave that performance on Saturday before 4,800 in Musselman Stadium when it stunned Bucknell to the tune of 10-7. The defense received quite a bit of the plaudits and rightfully so. It kept Bucknell deep in its territory most of the game, it set up Gettysburg's touchdown and it held Bucknell to 12 yards oa the ground.

However, the kicking game, led by -Mike Ryan, Dick Eppleman and Stan Gray, helped the defense by pushing Bucknefl against the wall and scoring a three-pointer. And the offense moved the ball to the tune of 217 yards with the line and backs giving second efforts on many occasions including Jay HowelTs touchdown. The late Dr. Charles H. Hu her would have been most happy because it was the type of Gettysburg-Bucknell game he enjoyed and the fact that that trophy, named in his honor, returns to Gettysburg.

From there, Howell dove over the line for the touchdown and Eppleman added the placement, giving Gettysburg a 104 lead.

BISONS SCORE Like it has done in its last three games. Bucknell got mov ing late in the first half. Following a Bullet punt, the Bisons took over on their 33. Two passes from Snow to Bob Brun and Mike Oosimano for 12 and 4C yards respectively, helped move the ball to the Gettysburg four. With 56 seconds left in the half.

Snow hit Brunt with a perfect down and out pass in be end zone for the TD. John Horning added the placement. With the exception of the last three minute drive, Gettysburg was able to keep the Bisons cen- tained well within their half of the 50-yard line throughout most of the second half.
