Roger Jackucewicz, Tim Steele
and John Heil shared first place
last Saturday as Lehigh's cross
country runners (7-1) romped to
easy victories over visiting West
Chester, Elizabethtown and East
Stroudsburg.
The Engineers, coached by
John Covert, have won seven in a
row since an opening loss to
Pennsylvania.
Lehigh frosh (5-1) chalked up
their fifth straight triumph at the
expense of West Chester, 24-34,
with Mike Strockbine winning for
the   sixth time  in  six outings.
Varsity scores were 15-50
over East Stroudsburg and
Elizabethtown, and 16-42 over
West Chester.
Steele, Heil and Jackucewicz
covered the 5-mile Saucon Valley
Fields varsity route in 25:26
which is only two seconds off the
course   record held by Steele.
Strockbine, moving toward a
brilliant undefeated season, ran
the 3-mile freshman course in
14:37.

of the season.

Ferrell Goes To Sidelines
The loss of captain Don Ferrell
for the season, with a severe
kidney bruise, darkened an otherwise bright week for Lehigh's
unbeaten (6-0) soccer team as the
Engineers rolled over Rutgers,
4-0, and Drexel, 1-0.
Ferrell, playing brilliantly,
rapped home three goals against
Rutgers and had the winner
against Drexel before being
injured and taken to St. Luke's
Hospital.
Coach Tom Fleck's squad is
working on a string of four
successive shutouts, failing to
give up a goal since Oct. 3
during a 2-1 edge over Gettysburg.
In order the Engineers have
whitewashed Ursinus, Delaware,
Rutgers and Drexel. They return
to action at home Wednesday
(Oct. 22) against Stevens at 3 p.m.
Ferrell, playing inside left,
tallied once in the first period
and twice in the second against
Rutgers.   He   drilled   home   an
18-yarder against Drexel on an
assist from Simon Newton and he
also had the only marker in the
Delaware struggle.
Three goalies—Joe Strickland,
Mike Hartman and Rocky
Connell—have kept Lehigh's nets
empty for almost three weeks.
Coach Gerry Leeman's frosh
booters (2-1-1) jumped on Keystone Junior College for a 6-0
triumph.
"The team is playing well but
the loss of Don Ferrell won't
be easy to overcome. We'll just
have to work that much harder,
I guess. Hope we can take up the
slack caused by his absence."

Wednesday (Oct. 2?) finds Lehigh's varsity and freshman
soccer squads playing host to
Stevens on the Saucon Valley
Fields   at   3 p.m.

Quakers Gain 13-7 Decision
In Rugged Defensive Battle
A pair of field goals by kicking
specialist Eliot Berry provided
the margin of victory last Saturday as Pennsylvania edged
Lehigh's football team before
27,000 fans at Franklin Field.
13-7.
Berry booted a 32-yarder in
the second quarter to snap a 7-7
tie and added a 36-yarder in the
fourth period.
Each squad managed only one
touchdown during a hard-nosed
struggle in which the defensive
units held the upper hand. Split
end Mike Leib grabbed a five-
yard pass from Jimmy Baxter
for the Lehigh TD after quarterback Phil Procacci had
scampered 20 yards off the left
side for a Quaker score.
Lehigh's kicking star, Ron
Schattenberg, converted following his team's marker and Berry
added Perm's extra point.
The Engineers reach the
halfway mark of the schedule with
two victories against three
defeats, their best effort over the
first five games of any campaign
since the Lambert Cup year of
1961.
When Procacci broke free on
his 20-yard run in the opening
stanza it marked the first touchdown yielded by Lehigh on a
ground maneuver since the initial
game of the year against The
Citadel.
The dash completed a drive
which started from the Quaker 45
following a punt. John Tremba
and Bill Sudhaus picked up short
yardage on the ground and
Procacci had a 15-yard pass to
Tremba and a 6-yard aerial to
Sudhaus during the surge.
On the TD run Procacci faked
a handoff, delayed for a split
second with his back to Lehigh's
defense, then dashed for the left
side where he found daylight and
went all the way,
Lehigh took the ensuing kickoff
and marched 62 yards for its
score, early in the second period.
Don Diorio, Justin Plummer,
Jack Paget and Baxter ran the
ball and Baxter had a 16-yard
pass to Leib.
With a first down on the Quaker
10 two running plays added five
Coach's Comment
"We knew those three road
games, back to back, would be
exceptionally difficult for us. We
won at Rutgers and came close at
Wittenberg and Penn. We were in
every one of them all the way and
we're looking forward to the
second half of the schedule.". . .

yards and Baxter fired a strike to
Leib in the end zone for the
six-pointer. Schattenberg's
placement made it 7-7 after 26
seconds of the quarter.
The defensive units took charge
at that point, failing to permit
another TD. Lehigh's hardhitting front four and linebackers
kept Penn from moving the ball
consistently and the Quakers
retaliated in kind, adding five
pass interceptions which frustrated Engineer efforts.
Penn turned two of the
interceptions   into   field   goals.
The   first   gave the Quakers
possession on the Lehigh 38 and
they  advanced to the 15 before
Berry   booted the tie-breaker
