Hie mfkii 4 Mm w/mMM MM n 4 MM 1 WM 4*4* W CflPML i/ifi ITMtf IM MM IttlllWr Published by the Lehigh University Alumni Association VOL. 14 - NO. 2 SEPTEMBER 21, 1971 BETHLEHEM, PENNA. C. W. Post 11 Overtaken, 24-14 Lehigh Rallies For Second Straight Win Lehigh's exciting mixture of sophomores and veterans, having won its first two football games of a season for the first time since 1960, eyes Penn today hoping to make the Quakers No. 3 Saturday afternoon at Franklin Field. The Engineers rallied last weekend to overtake a hard hitting, dangerous C. W. Post eleven before 8,000 fans in Taylor Stadium, 24-14. Once again, as in an opening 28-0 rout of Hofstra, the Lehigh gridders saved their best efforts for the second half. They hung 17 points on the board after the intermission, against Post,while blanking the visitors. This was a spectators' game wrtii - xiuarrterbaeirs Kim McQuilken of Lehigh and Gary Wichard of Post turning in strong performances. The teams totaled 38 points while piling up 39 first downs and 643 yards. Defensive units, under heavy pressure all day, had their hands full. Wichard, rated one of the finest QBs the Engineers will tackle all year, completed only nine of 24 passes but made them good for 213 yards. He was going for the long bomb most of the day after connecting witha55-yarder on his first attempt. McQuilken, Lehigh's prized sophomore, completed 16 of 25 for 175 yards. He didn't fire long too often, being content to pick away at the Pioneer secondary with a variety of pin point tosses directed chiefly to fullback Jack Rizzo who grabbed six of them for 90-yards. At one stretch he completed eight straight aerials as Lehigh overcame deficits of 7-0 and 14-7 to turn back the fired-up Post squad. Wichard drew first blood in what had been ballyhooed as a duel between a senior quarterback and a highly-touted sophomore, lofting a pass 55-yards to speedster Jimmy Car a on the game's second play from scrimmage. Cara reached the Lehigh five before Leroy Schroder caught him. Two downs later Wichard rolled four yards off right end for a touchdown and Tom Mc- Menemy's conversion gave the Pioneers a 7-0 edge. McQuilken came right back, Youth Groups Admitted Free Lehigh University is continuing its policy of admitting youth groups free to its home football games. Youngsters under 16 years of age are guests of the University on a group basis. The group supervisor makes the necessary arrangements by Wednesday, the week of the game, with business manager of athletics Craig Anderson in Taylor Gymnasium, phone 691-7000, extension 702. Youth groups are invited tor contact Anderson regarding home contests against Drexel (Oct. 16), Gettysburg (Oct. 23) and Colgate (Oct. 30). Plans for this community relations activity were made by Jim Harper, director of community relations at the University, director of athletics Bill Leckonby, Miss Barbara Solt, director of student volunteer services, and several Lehigh students. DON DIORIO (42) moves through opening in the C. W. Post line during 24-1 4 victory Saturday. Blockers include Ted Weils (64), Bill Schlegel (27), Tom Marti (74) and All-American center candidate John Hill (56). throwing 28-yards to Don Diorio as Lehigh drove to the Post 22 before stalling. Chuck Merolla's 40-yard field goal attempt on fourth down was short. Post couldn't move the ball and the Engineers pulled into a 7-7 tie parading 69-yards in a dozen plays after Wichard punted. McQuilken fired passes of 10-yards to Rizzo, nine yards to Dave Gill, five yards to Bill Howard and 12 yards to Diorio during this surge. The longest run was a 10-yard left and sweep by Stucky, behind a key block by Rizzo, which took Lehigh to the one. Rizzo rammed through right tackle for the TD and Merolla added the first of three extra points. Then it was Wichard's turn again. Aided by two pass interference calls he took Post 68-yds to regain the lead. He had a 12 yard run in this assault and a 17-yard toss to tight end Bill Cherry. Ron Carman did almost all of the running in the drive. The second pass interference call gave Post the ball at the one and set the stage for a goal-line stand. Three tries were needed before Wichard tallied through right tackle and the Pioneers Game At A Glance Runners To Open Campaign Lehigh's rebuilt cross country team, attempting to recover from the loss of Middle Atlantic Conference champion Tim Steele, opens its season Saturday (Sept. 25) in Philadelphia against Penn and LaSalle. Steele, one of the great distance runners in Engineer history, is lost for the year because of an ankle bone infection. Coach John Covert will rely upon lettermen John Heil, Mike Strockbine, Roger Jackucewicz, Scott Nicholas and Karl Dieter, and two outstanding freshmen, Jim Barnes and Wayne Rogers.
