Team Seeks
3rd Lambert
Cup Award
We're No. l!
That was the cry at Lehigh
today after latest Lambert Cup
ratings moved the Engineers into
No. 1 position following their
crushing victory over Colgate.
Delaware, beaten for the third
straight week, dropped to third
and undefeated Amherst claimed
the runnerup slot.
Lehigh won the first Lambert
Cup when it was established in
1957   and   repeated   in   1961.
Delaware   is    the   defending ROD GARDNER	
champion. The cup goes to the
best Division 2 football team in EyGS AAdrlvS
eastern ranks.

Engineers Whip Lafayette,
Take 2-0 Trophy Edge
Cross country and soccer
victories have given Lehigh a
quick 2-0 lead over Lafayette in
the 1973-74 All-Sports Trophy
chase.
The third, and final, fall event
is the 109th football game Nov. 17
in Taylor Stadium.
There will be three tests in the
winter and six in the spring for a
total of 12. Only regularly-
scheduled varsity contests count
in the trophy standings.
This trophy was put in competition by the student governing
bodies at Lehigh and Lafayette in
1967. In seven years Lehigh has
taken it six times and settled for a
tie. Lafayette never has won.
In cross country and soccer,
last Wednesday, the Engineers
scored their double victory in
routine fashion. The score was 4-1
in soccer and 17-43 in cross
country.
Two goals apiece by Tom
Klonick of Rochester, N.Y., and
Alex Monchak of Cinnaminson,
N.J., produced the soccer
triumph. Monchak had an assist
and Ted White, of Mountainside,
N.J., pick up two.
In a junior varsity duel, not
counted in the standings, the
Engineers and Leopards fought
to a 2-2 stalemate.
. Wayne Rogers of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and Elliot
Michael of Chappaqua, N.Y.,
gave Lehigh a first-place tie in
cross country as they shared top
spot in 25:53.8, a record at
Metzgar Fields in Easton.
Engineer runners Jim Barnes
of Denville, N.J., Brian Faraci of
Haverstraw, N.Y., and Dave
Cope of Fogelsville, Pa., took
third, fourth and fifth places in

Engineers In 58-26 Romp;
4 Touchdowns For Gardner
Lehigh's Kim McQuilken and
Colgate's Tom Parr, a pair of
super quarterbacks, cranked up
enough offense for half a season
Saturday in Taylor Stadium as
the Engineers demolished the
Raiders before 12,000 spectators,
58-26.
It was the most points Lehigh
has registered against a Division
1 opponent since the Lambert
Cup winners of 1957 did a 40-6 job
on Columbia in New York City. It
also was the highest total given
up by Colgate since 1959 when the
Raiders were whipped by
Syracuse, 71-0.
The one-sided triumph, ending
a lot of frustration at Colgate's
hands dating back to 1961 when
the Engineers last scored a
victory in this series, assured
Lehigh of at least a .500 campaign
this football season.
Coach Fred Dunlap's squad (5-
3-1) will be favored over both of
its final opponents, Rochester
and Lafayette.
Rochester, next Saturday's
rival in upper New York state,
has a 5-2 mark but hasn't faced
the kind of competition Lehigh
encountered most of the year.
The Yellowjackets edged St.
Lawrence last weekend,   14-12.
McQuilken, the national college
division passing leader, ripped
Colgate defenses to shreds while
completing 20 of 24 aerials for 238
yards and a touchdown, and
running the ball five times for 16
yards and a second TD.
He accomplished all this
despite missing the last 10:28 of
action after being ejected for
unsportsmanlike conduct early in
the final period.
The Lehigh ace was running a
quarterback sneak at the Colgate
23 and had the first down. In the
pileup he threw an elbow and was
thumbed off the field as most of
the 12,000 spectators let officials
know what they thought of the
move with a resounding chorus of
boos and catcalls.
Colgate, trailing only 37-26, still
was in contention and the Raiders
may have figured the Lehigh
attack was going to the sideline.
They learned differently as Joe
Alleva, super-sub to Engineer
followers, came out of the bullpen
cold and got hot in a hurry. And,
in a hurry, dispelled any Colgate
hopes of a comeback.
He passed five yards to Rod
Gardner and 23 yards to Bill
Schlegel, more than making up
the 15-yard penalty assessed for
McQuilken's infraction, and sent
Gardner 10 yards on three plays
for touchdown No. 6.
Moments later, after a windblown Colgate punt carried very
little distance, he handed off to
Gardner again and the freshman
tailback broke free on a 37-yard
scoring romp around right end.
In the dying moments of the
game he moved an Engineer
reserve team 68 yards in eight

plays for touchdown No. 8 with
fullback Jim Gallagher of
Reading, Pa., getting the final
yard.
Alleva, a junior from Suffern,
N.Y., has completed 21 of 26
aerials this season for 282 yards
and three touchdowns.
Gardner, the 6-0, 190-pound
newcomer from Maplewood,
N.J., turned in his second
straight amazing week with 29
carries for 194 yards and four
touchdowns, and caught four
passes for 25 additional yards. In
the last two games, his first ones
as a starter, he has carried 50
times for 336 yards and six TDs.
Prior to that he collected 84 tough
yards at Penn and a few at
Bucknell in a reserve role.
Schlegel, of Troy, N.Y., enjoyed his biggest day of the year.
The sure-fingered tight end
caught nine passes for 152 yards
and a score, several of the catches coming as the ball and a
defender reached him
simultaneously and it seemed
impossible that he could retain
possession.
