Blue Hens to take on Navy

     After upsetting Villanova University 38-28 on Saturday, the
Fightin' Blue Hens (6-1, 4-1 in Yankee Conference) travel to
Annapolis, Md., this weekend to face Navy's winless Midshipmen
(0-6).
     The Blue Hens are currently ranked 11th in the weekly NCAA
Division I-AA poll, trailing only one Yankee Conference team, ninth
place New Hampshire, which handed Delaware its only loss of the
season at Homecoming, Oct. 5.
     Navy (5-6 last season) has lost seven straight games since
1990 and four straight games at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium. Saturday
is Navy's Homecoming Day, but the Midshipmen have dropped each of
their last two Homecoming games, both to James Madison University.
     Delaware and Navy first met on the gridiron in 19331, when the
Midshipmen beat the Blue Hens 12-7. Saturday's contest is the
eighth in the teams' series, which the Navy leads 4-3.
     The game will be broadcast live on WDEL-am (1150), starting
with a pre-game show at 1 p.m. Highlights of the contest will be
shown at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday and at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, on
WNS-TV (Heritage Cablevision, Channel 2).
