Kicker Breaks Engineer Record
Alleva's Passing Ruins
Raiders; Dave Mancosh
Has 47-Yd. Field Goal
Senior Joe Alleva, of Suifern,
N. Y., enjoyed his first big day as
Lehigh's starting quarterback
Saturday as the Engineers
hammered Colgate in the rain at
Hamilton, N. Y., 33-12.
A crowd announced at 6,000
braved the elements at Andy
Kerr Memorial Field and saw
Lehigh footballers uncover a
solid, impressive performance.
Alleva, whose efforts in the 40-0
opening rout of Hofstra had been
overshadowed by fellow quarterback Joe Sterrett, didn't leave
any room for doubt concerning
his ranking as the Engineers' No.
1 man at the spot.
He completed 18 of 36 aerials,
for 231 yards and two touchdowns, despite adverse weather
conditions that made handling
the ball extremely dangerous.
Colgate, for instance, came up
with nine fumbles as its intricate
wishbone attack became water-
soaked early.
Lehigh defenders pounced upon
the first six of these Raider
bobbles and kept giving the ball
back to the offense.
Sharing headlines with Alleva,
and Bob Handschue who grabbed
eight passes for 97 yards and a
TD, was kicking specialist Dave
Mancosh, a senior from Pittsburgh, Pa. Mancosh, a soccer-
style booter, contributed two field
goals and three extra points
without a miss.
His second field goal covered 47
yards, in the final quarter, and
topped a Lehigh record effort of
45 established by Ron Schat-
tenberg against Bucknell in 1970.
His earlier one, which broke a tie
and put Lehigh ahead to stay at 9-
6, was a 35-yard kick. Both were
made under conditions far from
admirable with a wet ball, uncertain footing and a steady rain
beating down.
Mancosh regained his scoring
lead on the Lehigh squad
although he hasn't crossed the
goal line. He has 19 points in two
games on seven extra point
conversions, in eight attempts,
and four field goals in four tries.
Lehigh's game plan featured
the pass and Engineer receivers
appeared free most of the afternoon against Colgate defenders who simply couldn't match
the Engineer receivers.
Coach Fred Dunlap had his
club running only enough to
annoy the defense and Rod
Gardner, of Maplewood, N. J.,
emerged as Lehigh's top man in
the mud with 23 carries for 62
yards and a pair of short-range
touchdowns on plunges.
Raider quarterback Bruce
Basile had an odd afternoon. He
ran the ball 12 times for 94 yards
and a touchdown, completed his
only three passing tries for 30
more yards, but came away from
the game with very little to show
for his efforts except a lot of
frustration, an assortment of
bumps and bruises inflicted by a
hard-hitting Lehigh defense, and
maybe a chill or two.
Lehigh had to overcome an
early 6-0 deficit to charge into a
23-12 halftime advantage.
The Raiders moved 61 yards in
10 plays, after a punt exchange to
open the contest, and scored on
Pat Healy's 30-yard burst
through the right side at 7:07.
Healy, a freshman, carried the
ball only three times all day for 47
yards and his TD. Jerry An-
drewlavage missed the extra
point try.
Lehigh came right back with an
eight-play drive covering 59
yards and the score was 6-6. It
remained that way as the center
pass, on the conversion setup,
was fumbled.
Alleva really got his arm
unlimbered on this drive, completing five aerials in five tries,
three of them to Handschue.
Gardner tallied from the 1.

KICKING specialist Dave Mancosh (33) watches as field goal attempt sails true to the mark against
Colgate. The senior from Pittsburgh kicked a pair, the second a 47-yarder which is the longest in
Engineer history. Joe Sterrett is the holder. Mancosh has contributed 19 points in the first two games.
