Engineers To Meet
Eastern Kentucky
Lehigh's football team bids for
its second national championship
in three seasons Saturday (Dec.
15) against Eastern Kentucky in
the Tangerine Bowl Stadium at
Orlando, Fla.
The kickoff will be at 1:30 p.m.
EST and the game will be
telecast nationally by ABC.
Coach John Whitehead's squad
won its semi-final test last
Saturday at Murray, Ky., 28-9
over Murray State University,
while Eastern Kentucky was
outlasting Nevada Reno in double
overtime, 33-30.
Murray State defeated Eastern
Kentucky during the regular
season, 24-7, while taking the
Ohio Valley Conference championship.
In December of 1977 the
Engineers took national honors in
Div. II with a 33-0 rout of
Jacksonville, Ala., State in the
Pioneer Bowl at Wichita Falls,
Texas. They moved up into the
newly-created 1-AA Division in
1978, went 8-3 and barely missed
a playoff bid, then compiled a 9-2
mark during the 1979 regular
schedule and were invited to this
year's  post-season  tournament.
This is the fourth time in seven
years, since the playoff format
was unveiled in 1973, that Lehigh
has been a participant. The team
lost first-round games in 1973 and
1975, went all the way in 1977 and
is hoping to duplicate that feat
this season.
Last Saturday's impressive
performance at Murray State
gives Lehigh a fourth straight
victory under playoff pressure,
and an overall mark of 4-2 in the
post-season competition.
Senior quarterback Rich Andres, of Millville, N.J., paced the
Engineers before some 10,000
spectators, scoring one touchdown and passing for another and
winning an ABC-TV award as
offensive player-of-the-game.
Linebacker Jim Dunaway, of
Murray State, was voted
defensive player-of-the-game by
the ABC-TV selectors.
Other offensive leaders for the
Engineers were halfback Jeff
Bernstein of Randallstown, Md.,
fullback Bob Romeo of New
Providence, N.J., and split end
Mark Yeager of Madison, N.J.
Andres completed eight of 13
aerials for 114 yards, one of them
a 9-yard scoring strike to Yeager,
ran three yards for a touchdown
and generally ran the Lehigh
offense flawlessly. Lehigh rolled
up 266 yards on the ground, in
addition to its 114 in the air, for a
380-yard afternoon.
Bernstein was the game's top
runner with 11 carries for 80
yards. Romeo had 68 yards in
eight attempts, one of them a 37-
yard scoring dash in the final
minutes. Halfback Joe Rabuck of
Philadelphia, Pa., the team's
seasonal rushing leader, contributed 40 yards on 11 tries including a 1-yard plunge which
opened the scoring.
With the offense putting 28
points on the board, and the
defense maintaining its season-
long brilliance, the Engineers
had things pretty much their own
way.
They led 19-9 in first downs, 266-
95 in yards rushing and 114-88 in
yards passing for a total yardage
