score Lehigh moved 60-yards in
seven plays to regain the advantage. McQuilken passed the last
26 to Jim Wheeler and Chuck
Merolla's conversion made if

McQuilken fired a 32-yard TD
aerial to Don Gallo for a 20-6
halftime edge.
In the third session, with Bucknell frantically guarding against
the pass, Lehigh sent Bowers
66 yards on a draw to make it
26-6. Tackle Glenn Pedersenthen
nailed a Bucknell runner in the
end zone for a safety.

Engineers, Down 14-12, Halted
After Drive In Last Period
Colgate, fighting off a late
Lehigh surge in the fourth quarter, struggled to a 21-12 victory
over the Engineers before 4,600
fans Saturday at Hamilton, N.Y.
The favored Raiders led all
the way but Lehigh stayed close
and the outcome wasn't decided
until 14;26 of the final period when
Colgate notched its third touchdown on a fumble recovery in the
end zone.
Fullback Steve Morgan, running from the Engineer five, was
hit hard and the ball bounced free
across the goal line where teammate Rick Kay recovered it for
an insurance TD.
This score completed a 71-yard
drive in the final minutes after
Colgate, battling to safequard a
14-12, advantage, halted the Engineers on the 29-yard line.
Lehigh, which moved the ball
very well all afternoon against the
Raiders^Jiad marciied from its
10 to the Raider 30 before being
halted.
Quarterback Jerry Berger,
halfbacks, Jack Paget and Don
Diorio, and fullback Jack Rizzo
appeared almost unstoppable on
this assault as they tore out sizeable chunks of yardage on almost
every attempt.
After gaining a first down on
the Colgate 39 the Engineers
continued their impressive drive
as Rizzo slammed into the line
for four yards and Paget added
five up the middle. It was third-
and-one at the 30 when Paget was
nailed twice for no gain in thrusts
into the line.
Placekicking specialist Ron
Schattenberg was ready for a field
goal try if Lehigh had been able
to pick up this vital first down
and advance another eight or nine
yards.
Only a few minutes remained
in the tense struggle when the
Raiders regained possession and
moved downfield on a 22-yard run
by Morgan and a 29-yard pass,
