Runners Blank Columbia For Ninth Straight Win Lehigh's powerful cross country runners registered their ninth straight victory, and their eighth shutout, with a 15-50 rout of Columbia on the Saucon Valley Fields. The Engineers (9-1) settled for a six-way tie for first place among Ed Carney, Tim Steele, Bob Detrick, John Heil, Scott Nicholas and Roger Jackucewicz. Jack Collins of Lehigh was next with Keith Home ninth and John Swanger tenth. Coach John Covert, who handles varsity and freshmen, got another strong effort from his frosh who whipped the Lions, 19-39. Mike Strockbine finished first for the eighth straight time as the Little Engineers (7-1) chalked up their seventh in a row. The varsity summary: LEHIGH 15, COLUMBIA 50 1. Carney, uetrick, Heil, Nicholas, Jackucewicz, and Steele (L); 8. Ugelou (C); 9. Home (L); 10. Swanger (L). Time: 25:46. Mighty Delaware, its awesome ground game choked off by Lehigh's rugged front line, turned to the air last Saturday to out- score the Engineers, 42-14, before 14,000 fans in Newark, Del. Quarterback Tom DiMuzio passed for five touchdowns and ran 34 yards on a bootleg play for the sixth while completing 22 of 34 aerials for 369 yards. The Blue Hens (7-1) totaled 507 yards, about 60 beneath their seasonal average. They punished Rutgers 44-0 one week earlier in a 600-yard-plus romp. The Engineers (2-5-1) fought them all the way in a battle which was closer than the score would indicate. Lehigh outrushed the Lambert Cup leaders, 153-127, and trailed only 23-21 in first downs. It was in the air that Delaware had the big edge, on the arm of DiMuzio, and even here the Engineers enjoyed a highly-respectable day as Jim Baxter completed 19 of 32 tosses for 228 yards and two scores. Lehigh's total offense stood at 393 yards, only 114 less than the team ranked fourth nationally among small-coUege powers. Coach Fred Dunlap*s forces startled the Hens during the first quarter with a hard-rock defensive effort which resulted in a scoreless period. Delaware runners, who had churned out more than 400 yards against Rutgers, found themselves stymiled so consistently tnat DiMuzio was called upon to move upstairs. In a drive covering 74 yards he completed four passes for 71 yards, the TD coming on a 27- yarder to Pat Walker. It was a floater on a fourth-down and short yardage situation. This began a 3-touchdown blitz early in the second period. Moments after the score a pass interception gave Delaware the ball on Lehigh's 26. DiMuzio pitched 12 yards to Bill Armstrong, Dick Kelley gained five on the ground and then took a 9-yard TD aerial as the score became 14-0. Another interception regained the pigskin for the Hens at the Lehigh 29 minutes later and on a third-down play DiMuzio hit Walker on another floater, 26 yards for a TD. Near the end of the half reserve quarterback Jim Colbert of Delaware tried a sweep from his end zone and was nailed for a safety by Paul Koepff and Frank Cavagnaro. The resulting free kick set the stage for a Lehigh touchdown after Don Diorio returned it 23 yards to the Hen 34. Baxter's pass to Jack Rizzo moved the ball to the 19 and on fourth down at the 14 the Lehigh quarterback fired a scoring •■ •■■•>..' • ' ■ -■■■■■ ■ ■■;■:■:■: : ■ ■ ■ ■ ■,. '■ . RON KOVATIS (40) of Lehigh grabs a pass from Jim Baxter (14) for yardage against Delaware. Baxter completed 19 of 32 for 228 yards and two touchdowns. Kovatis caught three of them. aerial to split end Mike Leib. Ron Schattenberg missed the extra point, only his second failure in 19 tries this season. Delaware, having capitalized on the two interceptions, led 21-8 at the intermission. The Hens moved 94 yards in nine plays, after a punt, for their fourth marker. Passes accounted for almost all of the yardage and the TD came on a 21-yard heave from DiMuzio to Walker. Lehigh, with Baxter showing his finest passing touch of the season, retaliated with an Game At A Glance LEH. DEL.

Jimmy completed seven aerials in seven attempts on this drive, four of them to Leib, and got the TD on a 21-yarder to Rizzo. Leib, enjoying his greatest receiving performance of 1969, caught 10 passes for 134 yards. Previously he had grabbed 14 in seven contests. Late in the quarter, with defenders dropping off to protect against his overhead barrage, DiMuzio bootlegged around left end and raced 34 yards for a touchdown. Early in the final period DiMuzio fired out toGardyKahoe in the left flat with the receiver sprinting 57 yards down the sideline to complete the scoring. Lehigh still fought back, moving from its own 20 to a first down on the Delaware six before running out of steam at the two where Bill Oehlke couldn't gain on a line smash and a fourth- down pass was incomplete.

Also, we simply couldn't match their overall speed, in the line, backfield, everywhere. Physically we gave as much as we took. No one backed off.". . . Fred Dunlap, football.
