Brown Stars
AS Delaware
Bows to Bucknell

OF DeIaWareS upset loss 10
Bucknell in a Middle Atlantic
Conference game, 22-l4, at Lew
isburg, Pa, on Saturday.
Brown, a native of Whining
ton, scored both Blue Hen touch
downs on brilliant playa 81
yard pass interception and g.
yard run from scrimmage-
caught three passes for l9 yards,
ran back two punts for 35 yards
and was the Hens leading
groundgainer with SO yards in
eight carries.
After Ash Ditka scored from
the one to open the scoring for
Bucknell in the first period, Del
aware's ground attack began to
roll with Brown, Tom Michaels
and Johnny Wallace ripping off
yardage up the middle to the
Bison %, where Bucknell held.
Two plays later, Brown made
the interception of Ron Gior-
dano's pass. The former Conrad
High School halfback set up his
blocking, cut to the sideline and
outran Bison defenders. Sopho-
more John Osborn, of Normandy
Beach, N. j., booted the first of
two Hen extra points.
Delaware had three drives
halted in the second quarter as
both teams exhibited stout de-
fenses. The Hens never pene-
trated past the Bucknell 46 al
though an l8-yard run by Mich
aels, junior from Sayreville, NJ;
a l7-yard pass from Whining
toms Ted Kempski to former
Salesianum teammate Tom Har-
rison, and l0-yard pass from
Kempski to Barry Fetterman, of
East Greenville, Pa, provided
momentary pleasure for the Wis
iting fans. Delaware's own de-
fense, helped by the punting of
Arnie Rozental, of Long Branch,
N. j., kept the Bison outside the
Hens 36.
Bucknell Unbiased an all-out
aerial attack in the third quarter
after being held to l8 net yards
rushing in the first half. The
throwing of Giordano moved the
Bisons to the Delaware 4 on the
first series of plays before the
Hens were able to adjust their
defenses. The blitzing of Guard
Don James, of Delmar, and Dick
Broadbent, of Wilmington, hur-
ried a Giordano touchdown pass
which was picked off by Joe
Slobojan, of Glenside, Pa, the
Hens safety man, in the end
zone. Ken Schroeck, of Ortley
Beach, N. j., also was a key pass
defender in the drive.
After an exchange of punts,
including a 44-yarder by Rozen-
tai, Brown ripped over right
tackle for IL yards. Using the
same play Brown next went all
the way. Breaking into the Bis
on secondary through a huge
hole, Brown turned on his noted
raw speed to outrun a half doz-
en- Bucknell pursuers.
Ahead l4-6 going into the fin
al stanza, the Hens fell victim
to the most devastating aerial
display they'd faced this season.
Throwing bullet after bullet,
reminiscent of their Little ALL
American quarterback Paul Ter
hes of a year ago, the Bisons'
Giordano threw for one touch
down, set up another with Ken
Twiford going over from the
one, and made good two con-
version passes. His favorite tar
gets were Ditka and Dick Tyr
rell.
Bucknell got nowhere on the
ground in the second half and
barely held on to its l8-yard
halftime, but picked up 242I
yards through the air, complet-
ing IA of 25 passes. Delaware
ground-out lat yards and added
81 overhead on seven Kempski
competitions in II tries.
The loss evened Delaware's S |
record at "A, a respectable re-
cord for a young club after a
disastrous 2-6-l log in 1860, and
put the Hens in tie with Le-
high for third place in the MAC.
Brown and James, also a sopho7I
more, won press box plaudits
for their performances.
