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.
