William And Mary's Indians Are Planning A Scott Stadium Ambush Tomorrow
Troup, Sullivan, Reid & Co. Are Rolling And Ready To Stretch Wahoo Win Streak To Three
Honing the war path for the
third weekend in a row, the William
and Mary Indians invade Scott
Stadium Saturday to face off
against a spirited band of Cavaliers.
With both clubs coming off of wins,
the Commonwealth Day crowd
should be treated to a hard hitting
encounter.
Gearing its rugged defense to
stop the offensive prowess of
fullback Phil Mosser is the
assignment of George Blackburn's
charges. Knowing W&M is having to
rely on a second string quarterback
(due to a injured Bubba Hooker),
the pass should not be encountered
as much as usual.
Virginia is healthy except at
linebacker. Rick McFarland, a third
year-man, will be replacing regular
Dave Turner, who suffered a
broken leg in last Saturday's 21-20
triumph over Army.
Commenting on the W&M
attack Coach Blackburn said,
"They have recently installed the
veer offense, and if we don't cover
it any better than we did against
Wake Forest (a game lost 27-7)
we're in for a long afternoon."
Further expounding on this in-state
rival Mr. Blackburn offered, "Lou
Holtz is a very fine football coach,
and it is to their game against as
that they are geared."
It will be Commonwealth and
Band Day Saturday with festivities
scheduled throughout the day.
Guest-of-honor in the President's
'box' will be Linwood Holton,
governor of Virginia. Also on hand
will be members of the governor's
family, state officials, and guests of
President Shannon.
On tap at halftime will be the
combined skills of 26 high school
bands, majorettes, and drill teams.
Approximately 2100 musicians will
entertain the large crowd expected.
Past games in this series have
always been of interest. The series,
which dates back to 1908, shows
Virginia with a commanding 18-3-1
margin. The Wahoos spanked W&M,
28-15, last year at Williamsburg.
