Decided Tomorrow

Both teams are leaders in their
respective conferences. Bowling
Green is heavily favored to wrap up
the Mid-American Confer n e
crown when the Falcons close their
season at Ohio University on Nov
ember q. ]. Delaware, leader in the
Middle Atlantic Conference, will
face league rival Bucknell on the
same date.
Both teams have proved they can
score often and both have been
stingy in allowing opponents to
cross their goal line. Defensively,
however, Bowling Green has the
edge, having consistently ranked
among the national leaders in total
defense. The Falcons have alloweA
less than 100 yards on the ground
and under 200 per game all told.
Opponents stopped on the ground
have thrown lis passes, but have
seen alert Bowling Green defenders
intercept Is of them.
Delaware has been forced to rely
heavily on it's consistent, plodding
ground attack, spearheaded by
"The Rushniks," Jack Turner, John
Bowman and Tony Suravitch, that
has piled up 280 yards a game. Del
aware lacks a strong passer to
match the Falcons Bob Colburn,
who has completed 38 of 20 passes
for SOC yards and four touchdowns.
In their only previous meeting
two years ago, Bowling Green ham
ded the Blue Hens a stunning TO
defeat--tbe only shutout ever re-
corded against a Nelson-coached
Delaware aggregation.
Bowling Green, located, near Toll
