The University of Delaware
football team returns to Middle
Atlantic Conference action this
weekend by travelling to Easton,
Pennsylvania, for a game with
Lafayette, after taking crack
at Massachusetts, in an inter
conference clash last Saturday
Lafayette poses the biggest
threat to date in the Hens bid
for university division laurels
Like Delaware, the L eopar d S
have an all-veteran squad re.
turning, with l8 lettermen.
Heading the list of Leopard
returnees is captain Don Mikes
fullback, considered one of the
finest backfield men in the east
A never-say-die powerhouse, his
battering ram techniques thro-
ugh opponent lines last year
won him top honors in the Mid
die Atlantic Conference.
Drive-T Formation
Charley Bartos and Don West
maas, halfbacks, are both fast
and tough veterans who add
good blocking power to Lafay-
cites "drive-T" TO r m a j o n S.
Wayne Cipriani, the other part
of the Leopards' veteran back
field unit, probably will not see
action against the Hens because
of a fractured hand. Replacing
him as signal-caller will be
Marie cambridge, two-year vet
eran with a good passing arm.
In the line, Lafayette Coach
Jim McConlogue has all veteran
starters, headed by end Dan
Wooten, All-MAC and All-ECAC
choice last year. Wooten, lead
ing punter and pass receiver
last season for Lafayette, also
was employed as lonely end
decoy.
Lafayette received a great
blow to its preseason optimism
by dropping a 26-0 decision tt
the University of Pennsylvania
in its opener. Considering tht
improvement of the Ivy League
Quakers over last year, the de
feat was not such a surprise
and the Leopards are still re
garded a MAC threat.
Delaware will be seeking t.
avenge lat years one point, g.
defeat at the hands of Lafay
ette, on Mikes plunge and
two-point pass conversion
caught by Wooten.
