and Larry Gustavson of Cress-
kill, N.Y., had one.
Pete Hall of Malvern, Pa.,
chipped in with three assists
as the Engineers outshot Ursinus,
32-17. Mike Galardi of
Livingston, N. J., and Mike

divided goal-tending chores to
fashionine shutouts._

Engineer Frosh Trounce Bucknell 47-12
In Debut; Rizzo, Diorio, Wilsker Star
Alternate tailbacks Don Diorio
of Bangor, Pa., and JackRizzoof
Weston, Mass., each scored a
pair of touchdowns Oct. 11 as
Lehigh University's freshman
football team crushed visiting
Bucknell in its seasonal debut,
47-12.
Diorio, former Pius X star,
tallied on an 80-yard punt return
and a 19-yard end sweep. Rizzo
scored on an 88-yard kickoff
return and a 10-yard end run.
It was a day of long-gainers.
Curtis Barefoot raced 95 yards
with a kickoff for Bucknell's
first score after the Little
Engineers had tallied twice, and
Lehigh quarterback Ron Wilsker
of Averene, N. Y., chipped in
with a pair of long touchdown
passes.
100th X-Country Win
A record-breaking effort by
junior Ed Carney, of White
Plains, N.Y., paced Lehigh's
cross country team to an
impressive 19-38 rout ofvisiting
Delaware on the Saucon Valley
Fields. He covered the new
5-mile course in 25:43.
It was the 100th coaching
victory for John Covert, his 11th
in 15 starts as head of the Engineer squad. The balance of his
triumphs were registered while
coaching at Ossining, N. Y.,High
School.
Bob Detrick of Bethel Park,
Pa., and Steve Haas, of Massillon,
O., finished second and third
respectively, against the Blue
Hens. Delaware was one of three
teams to defeat Lehigh last
season.
Rutgers invaded the Saucon
Valley Fields three days later
and won over the Engineers in a
close battle, 25-30, handing the
Lehigh harriers their second loss
in five decisions. Tom Bazley
covered the route in 25:31 to
place  first.     Carney     topped
Lehigh, finishing third.
Lehigh's highly-touted freshman squad won over both rivals,
taking    Delaware    21-35 and
Rutgers 24-33.

Coach's Comment
"Splitting with Delaware and
Rutgers has to be considered an
improvement because they both
took us last season. We're getting
better, if we can only build up
our depth." .. .John Covert, cross
c ountry.
Wilsker's first bomb was a
4 6-yard scoring aerial to Gary
Scheib of Spring Glen, Pa. His
second was a 50-yard pitch to
Dave Gill of Maplewood, N. J.
Blake Johnstone, a 215-pound
fullback from Mountainside,
N. J., tallied for Lehigh on a
3-yard line smash.
Larry   Melley,   a   linebacker
who   played  for     Bethlehem
Catholic   last  season, triggered
the rout early in the first quar-

Coach's Comment
" Beating Bucknell the way we
did was a tribute to blocking and
running. We have fellows on this
team who need just a little bit
of daylight to go all the way."

football.

Wild Game;
Paget Stars
Lehigh's most prolific point-
scoring performance against
Rutgers since 1956 carried the
underdog Engineer gridders
close to a major upset last
Saturday but the Scarlet managed
to survive, 29-26.
Some 9,300 spectators in
Taylor Stadium watched the
Engineers bounce back repeatedly in a wild struggle which found
the surprised Rutgers squad
killing the clock during the last
minute near midfield.
The last time Lehigh scored
four touchdowns against the
Scarlet in one game was 12
years ago (1956) and the Engineers won that one, 27-13.
Sophomore tailback Jack
Paget, of Fairfield, Conn.,
enjoyed the finest scoring day a
Lehigh man has experienced
since 1960 when he made all four
of the Engineer touchdowns on
short running plays while picking
up 97 yards in 22 carries.
Paget tied the all-time Lehigh
point record for one game (24)
set by Dick Gabriel against
Carnegie Tech in 1949. Dick
Doyne equalled that against the
same opponent in 1950 and Pat
Clark touched Colgate for a similar number in 1960.
Both teams were missing
offensive stars. Halfback Bryant
Mitchell of Rutgers sat out the
game with bruised ribs. Split end
Jerry Berger of Lehigh saw
action only on a couple of plays
because of a pulled leg muscle.
Each squad came up with an
outstanding replacement at the
respective position. Paul Hohne
subbed for Mitchell and gained
126 yards in 27 carries, scoring
twice. Paul Harrington, a wing-
back, took Berger's spot and
caught five passes for 47 yards.
Rutgers took a 7-0 lead late in
the first quarter as Bruce Van
Ness fired a 5-yard scoringpass
to tight end Bob Stonebraker
ending a 46-yard drive. Early in
the second period Pete Savino of
the Scarlet intercepted a Jim
Baxter pass and ran 28 yards to
the Lehigh two. Hohne rammed

Coach's Comment
"That performance against
Rutgers justifies the faith we, as
coaches, have in this squad. The
men outplayed Rutgers and
deserved to win. We had some
extraordinary efforts out there."
