Gettysburg had not been the top choice of any of the selectors, but were mentioned among the top 10 on each of the 10 ballots, whereas Delaware had been named No. 1 on five of the ballots, but was entirely omitted from two of them.Cup Unexpected, Haas Admits Hal Bodley November 30, 1966 41 Evening Journal Wilmington, Del.
