Delaware and Rider on the Saucon Valley Fields.
Cross Country Runners Win
Over Delaware. Rider Teams
Lehigh, behind an incredibly
balanced 6th through 12th place
finish, won both ends of its
opening triangular cross-country
meet at Saucon Valley Fields.
Lehigh defeated Delaware 26-
33 and Rider 15-50 while the Blue
Hens also beat Rider by the
maximum 15-50.
John Greenplate of Delaware,
a transfer from William & Mary,
won the race in 25:09, a new
course record, erasing Elliot
Michael's (of Lehigh) 1974 record
of 25:33. Also bettering that
former record was the second-
place finisher, Stellan Thoren of
Lehigh who ran a 25:29.
But what really won the race
for Lehigh was the consecutive
finishes  of Howie Hoyt,  Dave
Norris, Don Fink, Chuck Sumrell,
Larry Ullrich, Rick Devine and
Dave Rohr. Hoyt was the lead
finisher of the group in 26:03 and
Rohr, the race's 12th place
finisher, ran a 26:35.
Fink, Ullrich, Devine and Rohr
are all freshman for coach John
Covert's Engineers.

Lehigh defeated Lackawanna
Junior College twice in fall baseball action at Saucon Valley
Fields,-by scores of 2-1 and 5-4.
Is Highlight
Against BW
Mark Weaver's 90-yard scoring
dash on a kickoff return, in the
final minute of the third quarter,
made the difference as Lehigh
turned back Baldwin-Wallace for
its second football victory in as
many starts, 21-14.
The Engineers (2-0) led
throughout but the Yellow
Jackets (0-1) of the Ohio Conference stayed within range and
the issue wasn't decided until the
final whistle.
Lehigh, still without all-star
fullback Rod Gardner who
sustained a knee injury in preseason drills, went to the air for
most of its yardage.
Junior quarterback Mike
Rieker completed 18 of 26 passes
for 208 yards and two touchdowns
for his second impressive
showing of the year. Rival QB
Pat George, a southpaw, hit on 20
or 34 but only for 142 yards and he
couldn't connect for a score. The
