Aerial, Ground Assaults Wreck
Cats' Vaunted Defensive Unit
Lehigh's highly-regarded
offensive unit destroyed Vermont's muc h-publici zed
defensive platoon Saturday at
Burlington, Vt., as the Engineers
turned in a crushing 49-8 margin
for their third triumph in four
outings.
Coach Fred Dunlap*s footballers are off to the best start
for any Lehigh eleven since the
Lambert Cup champions of 1961
also took three of their first
four.
That squad of 10-years ago
dropped its fifth game of the
season, 32-15 to Rutgers, and the
present club hopes to avoid that
pitfall next weekend in another
clash against the  Red Knights.
The Engineers put it all
together Saturday, rolling up a
28-0 lead before Dunlap pulled
his    starters   after   only   five
had shown marked defensive
success before running up against
the Engineers. The Catamounts
battled Dartmouth all the way in
a practice game before " losing*'
only 14-7, whipped Yankee Conference champion Connecticut,
20-7, and lost in the final minute
to Bucknell, 10-6.
Saturday, at the hands of
Lehigh, the Vermont squad never
was in the game. The outcome
was a shocker to most of the
7,352 shirt-sleeved spectators
at Centennial Field.
Sophomore quarterback Kim
McQuilken guided the Engineers
74 yards in nine plays, following
the opening kickoff, to the first
of seven touchdowns. Fullback
Jack Rizzo and tailback Don
Diorio led the ground attack and
McQuilken contributed 3 - yard
and 8-yard passes to John Ayls-
minutes of the third quarter and
played the remainder of the game
with reserves getting a rare
chance to display their wares.
The replacements, after yielding
a touchdown, fought back with
three of their own to complete
the unexpected rout.
Lehigh had been favored, in
most circles, but by a close
score.
Vermont, coached by ex-
Lehigh quarterback Joe Scannella
Coach's Comment
"We had a tremendous team
effort in a'must' game. Everyone deserves a lot of credit,
and that includes members of
our second offensive and
defensive units who did so well
during the third and fourth
quarters.". . . Fred Dunlap,
