TIGER GR1DDERS LOSE AGAIN, FACE BOWIE SATURDAY
Last week's torrential rainstorms cleared just in time for Towson's first road trip
of the season, but if head coach Phil Albert had it to do all over again he might wish
that the rain had continued and the game washed away. Towson traveled to Portsmouth,
Virginia for the 28th annual Fish Bowl Classic, and host Randol ph-Macon stung the Tigers,
13“7, for the Tigers' second loss in as many weeks. The Yellow Jackets drove 80 yards
to score what proved to be the winning touchdown with 9:42 remaining in the contest as
Doug Wasiak plunged in from a yard out to give Randy-Macon their 1 3-7 fnargin of victory.
The winners improved their season mark to 1-1 following an earlier defeat at the hands
of Shepherd, while Towson fell to a disappointing 1-2 record after Saturday's effort.
The Yellow Jackets got on the scoreboard first when Budgy Campbell took a pitchout
and ran unmolested into the end zone from the five yard line. That TD was set up on a
spectacular 19~yard run off a fake field goal attempt by the Jackets' John Buehler. Our
Tigers knotted the score with seven minutes left in the first half when quarterback Dan
Dullea found Mike Hoey alone in the end zone from 10 yards out. It was Hoey's 10th
reception on the season to top the Tigers in that department, and was his third touchdown
of the '75 campaign, also tops on Towson. It was also Dan Dul lea's third touchdown ariel
on the year.
Although Wasiak's TD with just less than 10 minutes remaining proved to be the winner,
the Tigers were not without another chance to pull out a victory. Dullea had moved Towson
35 yards into Randy-Macon territory at the 45, but was intercepted for the second time of
the afternoon at the Yellow Jackets' 23 yard-line, thus ending any Tiger hopes for a
comeback, as only 23 seconds remained on the clock.
Tiger quarterback Dullea completed 21 of 33 passes on the afternoon after coming off
a rib injury, giving him 39 completions in 63 attempts on the year, good for a 61.9%.
Dullea also has rolled up 454 passing yards on the season, but in addition to his three
TD strikes he has been intercepted five times. Junior James Boyd continues as the top
Tiger rusher after three games with 248 yards gained in 53 carries, for an average of
4.7 yards per carry and no touchdowns. Mike Maloney is second place on the squad with 68
yards in 22 attempts, and has the only two Tiger touchdowns on the ground . In addition
to Dul lea's 454 yards passing, he has also rushed for 34 yards in 25 carries, making his
total offense read an impressive 489 yards. Hoey's 10 receptions on the season are good
for 98 yards, and he is followed in that department by Skip Chase with 9 catches for
132 yards and Bill McDonald with 8 for 103 yards and 1 TD. Placekicker Phil Rizas is 5 for 6
in extra points and 0-1 in field goals, as that aspect of the game has suffered tremendous¬
ly since the departure of Terry O'Brien. Defensively, four Tigers share the interception
lead at one apiece, namely Jim Sandusky, Don Redman, Bill Kluttz, and John Rossan.
BOWIE STATE IS NEXT
As if the Tigers didn't have enough trouble, they must now face an undefeated Bowie
State squad that won its third straight game Saturday, 21-11, over Salisbury State. The
game is at Bowie State, and will begin at 2 p.m. Last year the Tigers outscored Bowie, 49~
22 in their first meeting ever, but Towson will need a top effort Saturday if they are to
duplicate. Head coach Clarence Thomas had 41 lettermen off last year's squad, including
