Page 12—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Beware Elizabethtown! Despite last week’s loss to Columbia, Indians’ spirit, teamwork never faltered, Team made very few mistakes E-town, beware. Donegal’s 14-game win- ning streak may have snapped last week, under the impact of a surprisingly good Columbia attack, but the Indians’ spirit and teamwork never faltered. The Columbia game was the first test of this year’s young and inexperienced Indian football team, and, in spite of the 14-6 loss, the signs were encouraging. Considering that the Indians are fielding only three lettermen from last year’s championship squad, the team made a minimum of mistakes, particularly on defense. The conspicuous absence of ‘‘big plays’’ by the Red Tide demonstrated that the Indian defenders know how to play their positions. Admittedly, Columbia didn’t need any 50-yard runs to win. Their giant offensive line had enough bulk (including 280-1b. Mike Hank) to open holes in the tough by relatively light- weight Indian defense. This year’s Tide should be re-named the Columbia Moose, in honor of those linemen. Having survived Columbia’s line, the Indians may feel as if they have switched to non-contact sport when they encounter the rest of the teams on the schedule. Although Columbia’s massive line made running up the middle an exercise in futility, the Indians demon- strated that they will be an aerial threat this year. Quarterback Craig Lehman’s “62-yard touch- down pass to Steve Meszaros was the evening's most spectacular demon- stration of passing prowess. In combination with the improved running game which is almost certain to appear next week, the Indian passing game should be a deadly weapon this year. This week, the Indians are sharpening their tomahawks in preparation for Friday night's encounter with the E-town Bears. With more of the same hustle and teamwork they demonstrat- ed last week, the Indians have a good chance to bring home a bearskin rug.
