Lafayette; sprinter Bill Krouse
of West Chester who holds 100
and 220 crowns, and half-miler
Jim Smith of Delaware.
Penn Military Colleges, which
totaled 45 points a year ago
behind F. and M.'s winning high
of 46, will have three defending
title-holders in the field. They
are Ted Woolery, 440-yard dash
and 440 intermediate hurdles;
Rick Pfeffer, 100 and 220, and
Roy Sayers, two-mile.
Other defending champs are
pole vaulter John Tourtellotte
of Ursinus; shot put specialist
Ted Cottrell of Delaware Valley;
Nason Donahue of Dickinson in
the 120 high hurdles; and
Thurman Bullock of F. and M.
in the high jump and triple jump.
Ursinus had 41 points for third
place last year and is expected
to join F. and M. and PMC in
another tight three-way battle for
team laurels.
West Chester, with Krouse
heading a strong array of runners
and with considerable squad balance, is given a good chance of
dethroning St. Joseph's in the
University Division. The Rams
were fourth in 1968. Lafayette,
second a year ago, and Temple
also are among the entries with
enough balance to pose a serious
threat.
St. Joe's had things its own
way last season, piling up 74
points against 47 for runnerup
Lafayette and 45 for Delaware.
Three of the stars who won titles,
however, Vince Pa pale, Vic
Monkiewicz and Jim Daly, no
longer   are  in  Hawk  uniforms.

Rout Lafayette To Clinch
Third Consecutive Trophy
Impressive victories in baseball and
lacrosse, last Saturday, clinched Lehigh's
third straight All-Sports Trophy denoting
superiority in dual varsity events against
arch-rival Lafayette,
The Engineers blasted the Leopards on
the   diamond,   8-3,   and   in   lacrosse,   15-2,,
This gave Lehigh a 7-1 advantage in the 1969
trophy series with only four contests
remaining.
Lehigh swept last Fall's meetings in football, cross country and soccer. In the winter
the Engineers split a pair of basketball
games, while winning in swimming, for a
5-1 edge starting the spring events.
This is the third year for the trophy,
placed in competition by the student governing bodies of the rival institutions.
Lehigh won 8-5 in 1967 and repeated
last year, 7-6.
Baseball
Five triumphs in six games,
since the last issue of the South
Mountaineer, lifted Lehigh's varsity baseballers (8-6) over the
.500 mark and kindled hopes of a
run for the Middle Atlantic Conference pennant. The Engineers
are 5-2 in the league.
Coach Stan Schultz's squad
upset Rider, 5-2, to snap a five-
game losing string, and followed
with a 4-2 triumph at Gettysburg.
Muhlenberg came to Taylor
Stadium and momentarily halted
the comeback, 7-5, before the
Engineers won decisions at Delaware, 3-1, and Rutgers, 7-3,
setting the stage for the season's
first test against Lafayette.
Lafayette, making a move toward the top of the MAC, ran into
strong pitching and hitting in the
stadium last Saturday.
Craig Hofford fired a four-
hitter at the visiting club, Rich
Revta batted five runs over the
plate with two homers and a
single, and Lehigh roared to an
impressive 8-3 margin.
Revta, a rugged sophomore
catcher from Dunmore, Pa.,
homered over the right field
screen for a 1-0 lead in the first
frame. In the fifth, with two
mates abroad, he hammered a
longer drive over the right-center wall to help the Engineers
add five more runs and lead
7-0.
Hofford lost a shutout in the
ninth on the pinch-hit homer
with two men away and two on
base.   He  walked the  next two
(Continued on Page 2)
Lacrosse
Lehigh lacrossemen (9-2), a
six-game winning streak ended
by Rutgers, retaliated with a 10-
2 rout of F. & M. and a 15-2
romp at the expense of Lafayette
to remain on top of the Middle
Atlantic Conference standings
with a 7-0 league record.
Just before the Rutgers loss,
15-6, the Engineers had hammered Swarthmore, 13-4, and
outfought   rugged  Colgate,  5-4.
Coach Jim Scible's high-scoring front line of Tim Turner,
Ted Sauer and Tim Suhrstedt
continued a pace which has been
too explosive for almost all rivals.
The Lafayette contest, last Saturday, found Lehigh gaining revenge for an upset defeat at the
hands of the Leopards one year
ago.
Lehigh dominated play
throughout but couldn't wrap
things up until the second half
because of erratic shooting. Once
the marksmen began finding the
range Lafayette was outdistanced. Lehigh scored 14 straight
goals, to shatter a 1-1 tie and
jump out front 15-1, getting 11 of
them after the halftime intermission.
Turner, and midfielder Tom
Zink, led the assault with four
goals apiece. Tom (Chip) Ludlum continued to excel in the
nets.
