DETERMINED BULLDOGS TOP DELAWARE 21-14 1 Back to back losses on the road to Western Carolina and Appala- chian State brought the Bulldogs overall record to 3-4 as the out-of- town jinx continued with them. On Oct. 28 the Bulldogs met the Blue Hens of Delaware. The Bull- dogs scored an impressive and ex- citing 21-14 victory on a rain- soaked field. Coach Baker was proud of his young team and rightly so. Only hard work and determination brought the Dogs back to the victory column. A 51- yard run by Stump Mitchell, an 84-yard interception return by Joe Harvey, and a 71 -yard run on a blocked field goal by Mike Adams highlighted this victory.

In this game the Bulldogs showed consider- able improvement from the previous week to take a hard-fought 14-3 vic- tory. Commenting on the game Coach Baker said I don ' t think I have ever been as proud of a group of assistant coaches and players than in this past week ' s game. Everyone worked extremely hard for this game and the results were obvious. Mark Slawson made an exceptional 56- yard punt return for a touchdown in the third quarter to break the game open.
