Delaware, Jersey Alumni

a r range ments for special

and New Brunswick, N.J.
Saturday, Sept. 16, the

Everyone got into the act
Saturday as Lehigh opened its
football season with a 44-13 rout
of Hofstra before 7,200
spectators   in   Taylor  Stadium.
The Flying Dutchmen, who held
off the Engineers until the fourth
quarter during a 28-0 loss last
year, weren't able to duplicate
that effort in 1972.
Lehigh took charge early, led
17-0 at halftime and 37-0 at the
three-quarter mark. Coach Fred
Dunlap went to his reserves
early, substituting often during
the second period and removing
his starters with 4:23 remaining
in the third and the Engineers
holding a 23-0 advantage.
Replacements struck for two
touchdowns in the space of 30
seconds before the third session
ended, following fumble recoveries, and organized an
80-yard touchdown drive in the
fourth,
Hofstra, its ground game
completely stymied by a veteran
Engineer defensive unit, spent
a good part of the afternoon
throwing the ball. The Flying
Dutchmen   completed    20   of 40
Tribute Paid
A moment of silent tribute was
observed at Taylor Stadium in
memory of V.J. (Pat) Pazzetti
and Howard Foering, two
prominent Lehigh alumni who
died this year, and for the Israel
olympians killed at Munich.
The brief memorial was held
just prior to the kickoff as Lehigh
and Hostra opened the Engineers'
1972 football season.
The following tribute appeared
in the football program:
ip&iratttftt
Two of Lehigh University's best-loved
and most illustrious alumni no longer are
with us today .... and to them this football season is dedicated.
V. J. (Pat) Pazzetti, 82, an All-American
quarterback at Lehigh in 1912 and a member of college football's Hall of Fame, died
Aug. 3, 1972.
Howard A. Foering, 104, who witnessed
virtually all of the 107 Lehigh-Lafayette
football games from 1884 through 1971,
died May 18, 1972.
aerials for 236 yards and a
pair of touchdowns. Much of
this damage, including both of
the scores, came after Dunlap
had removed his front-line
troops.
Fullback Frank Lyman did
almost all of the running in
Hofstra's new run-and-shoot
offense which features two split
ends and two flankers in the
backfield. He carried 21 times
for 29 yards. Four others lost
a total of 15 yards on the ground,
KIM   McQUILKEN
leaving the Dutchmen with a net
of 14.
Quarterback Steve Zimmer
completed 10 of 23 Hofstra
aerials for 137 yards. His
alternate, Bill Folker, completed
10 of 17 for 99 yards and both
touchdowns.
Lehigh quarterback Ki m
McQuilken completed 12 of 25
for 173 yards and two TDs. Backup man Cliff Eby completed one,
a six-yard scoring heave, in five
attempts. Sophomore Joe Alleva
connected on four of six tries
for 42 yards and a score. Alleva
also did Lehigh's punting,
averaging 38 yards on eight
attempts.
Starting tailback Jim Farrell
was the Engineers' busiest runner with 11 carries for 40 yards.
Bob Stewart and Mike Chieco, a
pair of reserves at the same
spot, each gained 28 yards in
eight chances.
The Engineers came up with
a couple of surprises, giving
Norman Liedtke the opportunity to run a two-point
conversion and Bill Schlegel a
chance to gain a few yards on an
end-around.
McQuilken took Lehigh in for
a score the second time the
Engineers handled the ball at the
start of the game. Once again,
as happened last year, he displayed an uncanny ability to
recover lost ground.
The drive started as Schlegel
picked up 20 yards to the Hofstra
26 with a brilliant stretching
catch of a McQuilken aerial.
Three plays later fullback John
Rhoads gained 11 on a screen
pass and then took another for
