Vol. 21 — No. 6 OCTOBER 17, 1978 BETHLEHEM, PA. Coal Line Stand, 4 TD Passes Bring Victory, Lambert LU Captures 27-21 Game Before 9,000 Four touchdown passes by quarterback Rich Andres, and a successful last-ditch defensive effort at the goal line, enabled Lehigh to turn back Davidson last Saturday before 9,000 Up- perclassman Parents Day spectators in Taylor Stadium, 27- 21. The Engineers' fifth victory in six starts, coupled with previously-undefeated Boston University's decisive loss to Massachusetts, 31-7, vaulted Lehigh into first place in the Lambert Cup rankings. Almost all of the drama, as Lehigh won for the twelfth straight time at home, was packed into the final 2:50 as the visiting Wildcats barely missed running off with a triumph which the Engineers appeared to have safely salted away. Coach John Whitehead's team, a solid pre-game favorite, started slowly but gradually gained control of the action and was coasting comfortably along with a 27-7 lead late in the game. Andres had thrown scoring passes of 9,13 and 35 yards to All- American split end Steve Kreider, and a 6-yarder to tight end Dave Rarig, rain-soaked fans were heading for the exits and Victory No. 5 seemed secure. Then, as suddenly as downpours had arrived during the earlier part of the game, Davidson struck for two touchdowns and came so close to a third that Lehigh fans are still trembling. Reserve quarterback Brian Whitmire, a 6-4, 195-pound freshman from Jacksonville, Fla., capped a late drive with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Gifford Piercy cutting Lehigh's lead to 27-14 with 3:10 remaining. He connected with the same receiver on another scoring aerial, this one covering 25 yards, after Davidson recovered a fumble on the Lehigh 25. The Engineer advantage suddenly was a slim six points, 27-21, and there still was 2:10 left to play. A successful onsides kickoff followed, with Davidson gaining possession on the Lehigh 38, and when the Wildcats quickly drove to a first down on the 10 in the final minute the situation was desperate for the Engineers.

On fourth down, with 21 seconds left in the game, he dropped back and looped a pass over the middle into the end zone. Linebacker Bruce Rarig deflected it, the ball fell harmlessly to the turf, and the Engineers preserved their triumph.

Two plays later fullback Page Walley plowed over from the 2 and the Wildcats were ahead, 7-0, These were the first points scored against Lehigh in the first quarter all season. Lehigh took the second half kickoff and marched 75 yards in 10 plays for a 13-7 lead. Andres passed 36 yards to Kreider, starting this surge, and 9 yards to the same receiver for the touchdown.
