tackled a heiuty dinner after last spine-tingling 27 22 football victory over the University of Chattanooga However they found it difficult eat mere food when they could sing the praises of their entire football squaJ The Bucs had just completed the unbelievable task of beating strong Chattanooga eleven in the final 46 seconds of play The coaching staff hesitated to mention any specific names but the broad smiles on their faces told the story of how proud they were Despite the fact that Chattanooga completed 19 of 35 passes for 241 yards the Buc coaches felt that their defensive efforts were superb in the crucial moments of the game offensive line did the best job it had done this toe coaches agreed The coaches said that they might have more to say about individual performances after look at the films Head coach Star Wood said "I felt like we really deserved to win we stayed in theie and hustled all the way" Wood also lelt that the Bucs had played well defensively when the pressure was on East Tennessee will play Chat tanooga hete again next season The unusual arrangement on scheduling called for four consecutive g-imes in Chattanooga before the Mocs come to Johnson

their own 38 A five-yard penalty put the ball back on the 33 on a fourth and seven situation and the Bucs still refused to punt Baker passed to Casey to his own 45 and on the next play pass Interference was ruled placing the ball on Chattanooga's 33 From there ETSU went on in to score the "must" touchdown for victory Behind now by only a point the Bucs were to position with only 38 remaining in the game to take advantage of any scoring opportunities which croppeduip And it did of course when Wirth covered fumble on the Chattanooga 24 Th Buc coaches quite sure why they went for two points after the third TD As it turned out the strategy was fine however at the time it appeared that they would kick for toe extra point to move them within field goal distance of the Mocs at 22-20 rather than risk not completing a pass for two points and perhaps settling for a tie later Pete Wilson assistant Buc Coach shrugged it off with a grin" 1 guess we have that much time to think
