a stunned crowd of 19542 began moving towards the exits Navy had been a 21-point favorite For more than 40 minutes Navy seemed to have matters well in hand William and most serious scoring bid had been a thrust that reached the Middie 36 late in the first half and when Rick Bayer swiped a Darragh pass or the second time and returned it 48 yards for a touchdown into the third period the rest

wrapping up victory No 4 in five starts But again things took a turn for the better for the Tribe Gordon Buchanan recovered a fumble and Darragh promptly went into his act once more The march covered 86 yards in 12 plays and three times Darragh came up with a crucial call on third down The major move came on third and eight from the 31 Darragh looked for a receiver found none and ran to his left Undoubtedly there was nothing in the Navy scouting report that indicated Darragh prefers to run which he only this time he ran anyway for 27 yards Six plays later Jim Cavanaugh maneuvered into the

fullback and tailback Saturday Constantinides got his chance to start at tailback because of an injury to regular tailback Terry Smoot in last week's Kentucky game Constantinides who had not scored this season and who scored a total of six points (one touchdown) last year was not a fellow to pass up his big op-' portunity With a homecoming crowd of 27322 looking on Constantinides scored four touchdowns one on a remarkable 76-yard run and caught a pass for a two-point conversion to score 26 points as the Gobblers rolled up their sixth consecutive victory of the season to defeat Richmond 45-14 halftime margin was only 14-7 but the Gobblers with Constantinides going 76 yards for a touchdown on the second play from scrimmage in the third quarter padded their point total in the last two
