Gridiron greats

     Four University football letter winners who also are active
alumni served this fall as honorary captains at four home games
in Delaware Stadium. Pictured (from left) are Fred Rullo,
Delaware '63; Buck Thompson, Delaware '50, a member of the Board
of Trustees; and Vincent "Winnie" Mayer, Delaware '33. Not shown
is Bob Lundquist, Delaware '81. The honorary captains were
introduced to football fans as they took part in the coin toss at
the start of games. This was the first year of the recognition.
