10-2 In 1888
With a 7-1 record and contests
remaining against Davidson,
Bucknell and Lafayette, the
Lehigh football team has an
excellent opportunity to become
only tlie second ever to win 10
games in one year.
The 1888 squad had a 10-2 log.

Several weeks ago, speaking
before a group of area
newspapermen at a midseason
luncheon, Fred Dunlap called his
Lehigh team "the best" he's had
since becoming head coach of the
Engineers in 1965.
Ever since that time his
players have been making the
evaluation look like an understatement.
Saturday they steamrollered
high-flying Colgate before a
capacity Upperclassman Parents
Day turnout of 15,000 in Taylor
Stadium, 38-6, for their sixth
straight victory and the 12th in
the last 13 appearances counting
the final five of 1974.
LEHIGH'S BIG-D defense, which enjoyed a super afternoon against Colgate, stacks up Red Raider
tight end Scott Hindman after he caught a short pass over the line. John Gift (58) and Jerry Mullane
(57) make the stop as Stan Fendryk (62) and Pete Fenton (18) come over to help.                 ( b&w Photo) Colgate, fresh from a 56-2 rout
