Of Delaware a past NCAA Division II power is now 5-3-1 with unbeaten Colgate to go Davidson which aspires to Division II stardom is now 4-5 with its longest losing streak of the year three games and with only Lafayette remaining For the crowd estimated at 2000 it was worth wading through the 35- 7 first half to get to the intermission entertainment Announcer Mike be about 20-7" Last year at Delaware it was 63- 0 Blue Hens This time the Wildcats actually had more first downs 19- 14 and only 15 fewer yards in total offense "Last year we had three first downs against them" Farrell pointed out "Physically we've come so far Tubby Raymond (Delaware coach) told me 'That's the best defensive unit I've had I can't believe 7-777 -k iii emn 7 4 f4 Ci '1' r--t -'1 -r11 4- zlip- '4--: 11 i': 4 i I iO 1 is 4 '1143 Fti 4' 7i-i' 414- 5 1 17 4 1'1 t' 14 i i I 4t -1 1 It ''r '1'141 i 1- '4 0 i 14 1' 0:" -0---1- 440r--- 1Z q' '''i Vi4i I A11004: 4' i ecg41 t- 0 Cfri'40 4t '-Ln Lii f-: alii: lv: v- '''4' i4''1 '''''rtcotr': iig5 '-'41' It 4s lo -4'f25 i 't4- :4 7 i IKi C--' 1'44 44 i ---4? -14 st40 ti i '''''''''14 'it :::1 4: 4 '4rx1: 04 4 --t'?

Dunn did it almost methodically cutting inside right end and breaking a tackle slashing diagonally to his left and breaking another then outracing two men across the goal line And on it went But it could've been different maybe if Deacon soph tailback Jimmy Hargrove subbing briefly for McDougald's pained shoulder hadn't fumbled the ball to Duke's Derrick Mashore at the Blue Devil three-yard line 90 seconds before halftime A TD there would have pulled the Deacs within a touchdown at the break making McDougald's one-yard score after a 22-yard reception in the third quarter the one that tied the game 21-21 But rainbows don't stay around forever and when this one went Duke 7 14 10 7-38 Wake Forest 7 0 7 0-14 4 pass from McGlamry (Harnisch kick) 3 run (Wolcott kick) 33 pass from Dunn (Wolcott

Caesars Palace roaring Norton came blasting out of his corner in the final round and worked on Young's body At one stretch of about 20 seconds he trapped Young along the ropes and landed 12 to 14 body punches Young flurried to the head on two or three occasions but again his punches did not carry the authority of Norton's body blows Norton who weighed 2151A pounds won for the 40th time against four losses Young who weighed 213 now has a 24-6-2 record but his ranking of No 2 behind Norton might stand up despite a loss because of the narrow verdict Norton earned $175 million and now is in line for a really big purse with Ali Young picked up $1 million but stayed in the thick of the heavyweight picture Ile had lost a disputed 15round decision to AU in a title hid April 30 1976 which was six months before a controversial loss by Norton to the champion In other fights on the card heavyweight Jerry Quarry topped Lorenzo Zanon in the ninth round undefeated heavyweight Larry Holmes scored a TKO over Ibar Arrington in the 10th round and junior welterweight Sugar Ray Ieonard defeated Mexican Augustie Estrada with a fifth-round knockout Lank ridiculed the Davidson students who left the campus for the weekend thanked the teams for showing up and introduced the school's marvelously original pep band which took the field playing the Mickey Mouse song on kazoos It was a most appropriate theme for the comedy of errors that had just 1 taken place The Wildcats won the toss for the ninth time in nine games this season but then nothing went right Steve Risley had to punt on the fourth play and fell down while kicking the ball on the wet turf Lou Miriani surprisingly picked up the rolling 22-yard kick in a maze of Wildcats and returned it 15 to the Davidson 38 Saved by a fourth-down incompletion the Wildcats got the ball right back and quarterback Bob McCar- thy immediately completed his first pass of the day to HIMSELF A Delaware defender batted the pass directly into McCarthy's arms but he lost three yards on the play Punter Rhyne was then called on to redeem instead re- peated himself He slipped identically on the wet surface and his punt slid to a stop at the Blue Hen 40 21 yards away This time the Wildcats weren't as fortunate to escape unscathed Dela- ware jammed the ball in for the first TD but even that 10-play drive wasn't without its light moments After a Davidson offside gave the liens a first down at the 29 fullback Peter Good found gobs of running room down the left side with a pass from Jeff Komlo and raced into the end zone He found the gobs though because of a clipping On the next snap a good screen from Komlo was offset by halfback Craig Carroll's crackback block Second down 28 Twenty and 10 yard passes from Komlo to split end Brian Adam made up the deficit though Two plays later from the 16 the quarterback found Mike Hill and the tight end carried five defenders the last five yards into the end zone 7-0 8:27 gone Now the funny stuff (but unfunny to Farrell and the Wildcat faithful) really started Risley added to his "Ripley-Believe-It-Or-Not" display on his third punt Todd Detar left his "55" jersey imprint all over the ball and Dave Hess ran it highly escorted 12 yards for a TD Second-string quarterback Al Rhyne was then given a chance to move the Cats and after two passes into nowhere land a third found Blue Hen cornerback Bob Brown Four plays after starting from the Davidson 29 Komlo passed 18 to a thoroughly wide-open halfback Mike Sully in the end zone for the third TD in just 249 of playing time After a missed extra point it was 20-0 and the Wildcats were still without a first down A week ago at Virginia Military they were behind 21-0 after one quarter and it ended that way This time with McCarthy back in they moved 69 yards in 12 plays and he tossed two yards to halfback Gregg Cannion in the end zone a half-minute into the second period Now is when the Davidson kickIng game went from bad to worse The Wildcats roughed Delaware punter Dave Raymond the coach's son on his first punt of the day but received a reprieve with an offsetting penalty Doing it all over again the Wildcats roughed Raymond all over again But the Hens got a better break when returner Hal Thompson was dislodged from the ball at the seven Three plays later Komlo to Carrell for four yards and 26-7 Then to Sully on
