sophomore split end had four
catches for 136 yards, one of
them a 65-yard scoring play and

Penn State in a football game.
The Engineers won 106-0 at
Bethlehem in 1889.
JV Football Team
Jolts Lafayette
Lehigh's junior varsity football team completed its schedule with an impressive 10-6
triumph over Lafayette, in Taylor Stadium, to finish with a 3-
and-2 record. It was Lafayette's
first loss in three starts.
Earlier the Little Engineers
uncovered another strong defensive effort to win over the Delaware Valley College JVs at
Doylestown, Pa., 13-6.
John Tamburo of Baldwin,
NY, rammed his way one yard >
for the first touchdown against
Lafayette, moments after
Kevin Mitchell of Elmsford,
NY, recovered a fumble at the
visitors' 6-yard line. Dave Mel-
ick of Maplewood, NJ, converted and later added a 33-yard
field goal for a 10-0 lead.
Del Val held the Little Engineers scoreless, in a 0-0 grind,
until the fourth period when
quarterback Mike Muchowski
of Pittsburgh, Pa., lofted a 21-
yard TD pass into the end zone
for 6-5 wide receiver Todd Melton of Berlin, NJ, and Melick
converted.
Linebacker Tim Gillespie, of
Glen Ridge, NJ, provided the
second Lehigh touchdown on a
55-yard run with an intercepted
pass on the last play of the
game.

Lehigh footballers, picking up
where they left off two weeks
earlier, ground out a 21-10 victory over Bucknell last Saturday before a turnout of 11,300
Freshman Parents Day guests
in Taylor Stadium.
It was the third straight triumph for the Engineers, lifting
them to 3-and-4, as they continue their uphill climb for a
tenth consecutive winning
season.
Victory No. 2 in that budding
string had come Oct. 16 over
New Hampshire, 20-17, and on
Oct. 23 the team enjoyed an
open date.
Solid line play, tireless running by senior halfback Eddie
Godbolt, the passing of quarterback Marty Horn, excellent
receiving and a hard-hitting
defense had marked the New
Hampshire win. All of those
ingredients were back against
Bucknell.
Godbolt carried the ball 31
times for 113 yards and one
touchdown, caught four passes
for 34 yards and returned a punt
four yards during another busy
afternoon. Horn, a freshman
from Short Hills, N.J., rode a
strong first half to overall statistics which showed 15 completions in 33 aerials for 240 yards
and a TD.
Horn was 12 of 23, for 213
yards and the touchdown,
before the intermission. He
couldn't keep things going later,
though, and was lifted after the
third quarter in favor of sopho-
more quarterback Tony
Semler.

Whitehead
Moves Up
Lehigh's victory over
Bucknell moved John
Whitehead into second
place among the Engineers' all-time "winning-
est" football coaches.
Whitehead has a 56-21-2
record from 1976 to the
present time. Tom Keady
(1912-1920) was 55-22-3.
Bill Leckonby, director
of athletics since 1962, had
an 85-53-5 mark for 16 seasons as head football
coach (1946-1961).
yards in eight plays the second
time they had the ball, with Godbolt running across from the
four, to lead 6-0. Todd Thompson of Watertown, Conn., the
freshman place-kicker who had
made such an auspicious debut
against New Hampshire,
missed the conversion and later
muffed a 26-yard field goal
attempt.
Early in the second period the
Bisons drove to a first down at
the Lehigh seven but were
halted and forced to settle for a
field goal.

they had a chance to congratu-

late themselves on cutting the
Engineer lead to 6-3, it was 14-3
as Horn and split end Jim
Davidson, the latter of Selins-
grove, Pa., combined for a 65-
yard touchdown pass. Davidson
took the ball away from a
defender at the Bucknell 31 and
raced into the end zone. Horn
threw to halfback Dom
LaSelva, of Pottsville, Pa.,fora
two-point conversion.
Neither team could score
again until the fourth quarter
when Dave Mecca, of Dunmore,
Pa., intercepted a pass to give
Lehigh possession on its own
four-yard stripe halting a Bison
bid.
Semler, given an opportunity
to try and move the team during
the fourth stanza, directed a 96-
yard march highlighted by his
53-yard pass to Davidson.
Semler ran a 17-yard keeper
and then skirted right end on a
five-yard touchdown sprint
after Godbolt had picked up five
yards.
Bucknell then scored its first
TD against Lehigh in three
years as quarterback Al Locey
threw 38 yards to wide receiver
Ed Hughes ending a sudden 76-
yard drive through the air.
