Gridders Outplay Cornell
During 7-7 Tie At Ith
Engineers Have 21-9 Edge
In First Downs; Defense
Turns In Super Effort
AMONG LEHIGH leaders at Cornell were, top from left, safetymen Jim Addonizio and Frank Kail,
and linebacker Ken Probst. Bottom, from left—fullback Bob Stewart, quarterback Kim McQuilken
and tight end Bill Schlegel.
Frosh Rap Rutgers, 20-10
Lehigh's freshman football
squad, making its debut under
new coach John (Jeep) Bednarik,
rallied in the second half Friday
to turn back Rutgers in the
Saucon Valley Fields "bowl" by a
20-10 margin.
It was a very impressive start
for the Little Engineers who
weren't able to turn things their
way until midway in the third
quarter.
Tailback Ken Schmidt, of
Stamford, Conn., was the running
star for the winners. He
repeatedly tore his way through
Cross Country Win Streak
Snapped In Phila. Meet
Wayne Rogers, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., finished
first for Lehigh in Saturday's
quadrangular cross country test
in Philadelphia but he didn't get
enough help down the line to give
the Engineers a clean sweep.
Lehigh defeated Temple, 15-48,
and St. Joseph's, 19-42, only to
bow before Bucknell, 29-26.
The loss to the Bisons snapped
a string of 40 consecutive victories against Middle Atlantic
Conference rivals dating back to
1967.
Rogers covered the 5-mile
Fairmount Park route in 26:22 to
easily finish 21 seconds ahead of
St. Joseph's John Glauh.
Bucknell, however, placed men
third, fifth,  sixth,  seventh and
10th to take team laurels.
Trailing Rogers for Lehigh
were Dave Cope of Fogelsville,
Pa., fourth; Elliot Michael of
Chappaqua, N. Y., eighth; Brian
Faraci of Haverstraw, N. Y.,
ninth, and Stellan Thoren of
Sweden, 11th.

the Scarlet defenses and one of
these gains was a nine-yard
touchdown drive in the opening
quarter. Fullback Tom Haynes,
of Jackson, Mich., tallied twice
for Lehigh on one-yard plunges.
Don Kennedy, of Wallingford,
Pa., kicked two extra points and
had a third attempt blocked.
Ed Robinson tallied for
Rutgers on a 3-yard run. Greg
Phabe contributed an extra point
and a 34-yard field goal.
The turning point of the game
came early in the third quarter
when Rutgers, leading 10-7,
reached the Lehigh 8-yard line on
a sustained drive only to have
linebacker Kord Scott of the
Engineers break through and
tackle passer Bert Kosup for a
substantial loss. Kosup drew a
grounding penalty on the play, as
he desperately tried to get a pass
away, and Rutgers was penalized
back to the 25. The Scarlet's bid
for a long field goal fell short and
Lehigh took over the 20.
Quarterback Paul Kershaw of
Jenkintown, Pa., connected twice
with tight end Larry Henshaw, of
Hammonton, N. J., putting the
ball on the Rutgers 31. Line
smashes by Haynes, Schmidt and
Kershaw advanced the
Engineers to the 18. Alternate

An incredible defensive effort,
against a highly-favored rival
expected to battle for the Ivy
League championship, sparked
Lehigh footballers to a 7-7 draw
with Cornell last Saturday before
14,000 spectators in Ithaca, N.Y.
The Big Red, making its home
debut after demolishing Colgate
one week earlier, 35-21, shocked
the Engineers with a touchdown
on the opening kickoff as Dan
Malone raced 97 yards along the
left sideline into the end zone for
a 7-0 lead in the first 14 seconds of
action.
Then it was Lehigh's turn to
shock a few people as the
Engineers, getting off the floor
after the early knockdown,
fought back to dominate play for
the remainder of the afternoon.
Cornell couldn't score from
scrimmage and only a fierce
goal-line stand, and a missed
Lehigh field goal in the final
minute, enabled the Ivy Leaguers
to limp off the field with a draw.
The statistics are pretty
shocking in their own right.
Lehigh led 21-9 in first downs,
147-65 in yards rushing, 245-95 in
yards passing and 392-160 in total
yards. Cornell tightened up often
enough to prevent an upset but
spent most of the afternoon
warding off Lehigh threats. The
Engineers ran 82 plays, 22 more
than the Big Red.
Lehigh's touchdown came late
in the third quarter on a 25-yard
pass, Kim McQuilken to Bob
Handschue who took the ball over
a defender's head near the goal
line and stepped across. Dave
Mancosh added the extra point
and the defenses once again took
over. There was no further
scoring.
McQuilken had a big day
completing 19 of 27 aerials for 245
yards and the touchdown, without
an interception.
He came very close to another
score, firing 14 yards down the
middle to Norm Liedtke in the
end zone during the first period,
but before throwing he had
slipped to one knee on the ar-
tifical surface and the play had
been blown dead.
The turf at Schoellkopf Field
gave players of both teams difficulty. Running backs, and
receivers, went down several
times as the footing proved
treacherous. It was a sunny,
perfect day for a game but still
the field was slick.
Most of the drama was packed
into a furious fourth period as
Lehigh struggled to break the tie
and Cornell—badly outplayed—
