TIGERS MAKE HOMECOMING A SUCCESS
For the second straight week Towson State put its offense into high gear, as the Tigers
trounced Frostburg State, 42-25, in last Saturday's 1975 Homecoming Game. Last week the win¬
ners employed an effective passing attack to dispose of previously unbeaten Bowie State, 35-
10, but it was the ground game that proved superior in the victory over Frostburg. Towson
gained 553 yards on total offense against a porous Bobcat defense, 365 by the run. Saturday's
win pushed Towson' s record to 3-2 at the season's halfway point, while Frostburg fell to a
miserable 1-5.
Junior Mike Maloney led all Tiger rushers with an impressive 116 yards, much of that
coming from a 71-yard TD scamper in the first quarter. Maloney now has picked up 256 yards on
the '75 campaign along with four touchdowns. James Boyd also had a fine day in the Towson
State backfield, grinding out 92 yards in 16 carries to push his season total to 395 yards in
81 attempts. Boyd also scored his first three touchdowns of the season in the Frostburg win
from seven, eight, and nine yards out, respectively. K.P. Doyle also was a major cog in the
Towson offensive machine, amassing 108 yards in 12 carries, as that Maloney-Boyd-Doyle trio
accounted for 316 of the Tigers' 365 rushing yards.
Our Tigers moved out in front in the opening quarter when junior quarterback Dan Dullea
hit Skip Chase from 25 yards out, and the extra point by Phil Rizas put Towson ahead, 7-0.
Chase had a total of four receptions on the afternoon, second to teammate Bill McDonald's five
aerials for 103 yards. Chase now has 15 receptions on the season, while McDonald has 16.
Towson struck again late in the period on Maloney's electrifying 71-yard TD scamper, with the
extra point providing the Tigers with a 14-0 advantage after one quarter. Frostburg struck
back when Joe Corbin found Terry Hall from 11 yards out to cut Towson' s lead to 14-7. Hall's
reception was one of four on the day for 90 yards. The Tigers rebounded to take a 28-7 half¬
time lead, thanks mainly to Boyd, who scored from the seven and the eight before the half
closed to give Towson what seemed to be a "safe" lead.
Halfback Mark Mitchell brought Frostburg back to life in the third period on a 66 yard
TD run down the left sideline, outrunning a pair of Tiger defenders to make the count 28-13.
Halfback Paul DuDash caused further Towson miseries when he scored from the Tiger five yard
line in the third period, and from the one yard line with 14:07 remaining in the contest to
pull the Bobcats within 28-25, as both extra point attempts failed.
But like a true winner the Tigers came back, as Dullea directed a pair of long drives
resulting in two touchdowns and the final 42-25 margin of victory. Maloney scored from the
Bobcat four-yard line and Boyd from the nine, the latter TD breaking a Towson single game
record for rushing touchdowns.
Dullea, signal caller from Loyola High, had another good day in the passing department,
completing 11 of 16 passes for 167 yards and one TD. This gives him 62 completions in 101
attempts (61.4%) and five TD aerials in '75.
A crowd of 3,000 turned out for Towson 's Homecoming, and were rewarded with one of
the season's most exciting, offense-minded affairs. Ironically, last Saturday was also Home¬
coming for Maryland, Navy, and Morgan State University, who in addition to Towson, were all
victorious!
BOOTERS TAKE TO THE ROAD
Our Tiger soccer squad will take to the road for two contests following a week that
saw them drop games to Johns Hopkins and Bowling Green. Towson lost to the Blue Jays 4-1
in a game played Tuesday night under the lights on the winners' Homewood campus. Then, on
Saturday, the Tigers fell to a rugged Bowling Green team, also by 4-1, to bring the '75
season record to 5-4. Towson State will meet Loyola College Tuesday (Oct. 14) at the Grey¬
hounds' field at 3 p.m. , and then will travel to Catholic U. for a 1:30 p.m. contest Saturday.
The Tigers will return home next Sunday , October 19, to host Madison College at 2 p.m. Just
a reminder that the University of Baltimore game for Saturday, October 25, is now scheduled
for 8 p.m. under the lights on Towson 's Burdick Field. There will be a post-game party in the
College Center immediately following the B.U. game. So make your plans for back-to-back Tiger
games on Friday and Saturday, October 24 and 25, as the gridders face Johns Hopkins at Home-
wood on Friday night, and the soccer team is at home on Saturday night to battle the perennial
powerhouse B.U. Bees.
MEMBERSHIP ON THE RISE
Executive director Bill Bauersfeld has announced the latest Tiger Club membership
figures as of
10/8/75,
and the results are encouraging. There are currently 224 total mem¬
bers broken down into the following categories: $500 - 2, $250 - 1, $100 - 23, $50 - 6,
$25 - 44, and $10 - 148. This brings total club contributions to $6,430 so far. However,
we are still $8,570 and 276 members short of our projected goals, so the work isn't over yet.
Remember that you can help Towson State athletics through increased membership, so get a friend
to join the new, dynamic Towson State Tiger Club!
