COACH JOHN WHITEHEAD (center) AND LEHIGH GRIDDERS CROSS THE SIDELINE AS TIME RUNS OUT ON CONNECTICUT
Defense Shines With Six Interceptions
An alert, hard-hitting defense
which picked off six enemy
passes and six times threw rival
ball-carriers for losses, played
a major role last Saturday as
Lehigh footballers rallied to win
over Connecticut on the losers'
field, 16-12.
It was the team's first triumph, after four losses by a
total of only 19 points, and it kept
alive chances of a tenth consecutive winning season. To
accomplish that uphill climb
Lehigh must win four of its
remaining five games, and tie
one, or win all five.
This mathematical possibility was on the verge of vanishing at Storrs, Conn., as the
Huskies enjoyed a 12-3 lead in
the fourth quarter. After dropping its opener to Colgate the
UConn squad had whipped Northeastern, Yale and New Hampshire in a row and was all set to
make Lehigh No. 4.
Lehigh, unable to get anyone
into the end zone, had made a
close game of it on the basis of a
tough defense and a 24-yard
field goal by Jim Scott of Boons-
boro, Md. Connecticut, also
unable to cross the double stripe
until the final period, led 5-3 at
the three-quarter mark on a 33-
yard field goal by Domingos
Carlos and a safety.
At the start of the final stanza
the Huskies completed a 37-
yard scoring march, after a
short punt, with halfback Joe
Markus diving across on a
fourth-down smash at the Engineer 1. When Carlos added the
extra point, for their 12-3 margin, the Huskies had a Parents
Day crowd of 7,592 believing a
long afternoon spent in rain and
gusty winds might be worthwhile after all.
Suddenly, however, the Engineers came to life as freshman
Soccer
Lehigh soccerman split a pair
of decisions last week, blanking
Rutgers 3-0 before bowing to
Drexel, 2-1.
Eric Vetack, Jim Carbone
and Jeff Remley tallied against
the Scarlet with goalie Brian
Blaser getting the shutout. Jeff
Heaton and Chris Tihansky had
assists.
Heaton picked up another
assist in the Drexel loss on a
goal by Craig Young.
quarterback Marty Horn of
Short Hills, N.J., once again
came off the bench throwing on
target.
He had done this before,
against Pennsylvania and Delaware, but at Connecticut he had
gotten the starting nod and had
been unable to move the club.
He went to the bench during the
second quarter when sophomore Tony Semler of Allentown, Pa., took over the offense,
and returned early in the fourth
as Coach John Whitehead
remembered his earlier relief
appearances.
In the last 13'/2 minutes of the
game Horn completed eight of
11 passes for 129 yards and a
touchdown. As the starter, playing until 4:40 remained in the
first half, he had completed
three of 14 for 32 yards, with one

interception. It all added up to
11 completions in 25 attempts
for 161 yards, one TD and one
interception, not bad figures
given the wind and rain which
hampered everyone's efforts.
It's doubtful, however, if the
Engineers would've been close
enough in the fourth stanza to
pull out the victory except for
the defensive platoon's heroics.
UConn has the best field goal
kicker in the Yankee Conference in Carlos, and he's been
hammering opponents to death
this season in the 40-yard range.
Three of Lehigh's six interceptions, and a key sack by end
Scott Theuerkauf of Demarest,
N.J., deprived Carlos of a
chance to pick up more than the
one field goal he was near
enough to attempt.
And the fifth interception,
with only 1:26 remaining in the
game and Lehigh down 12-10,
came on a play which will have
fans talking for a long time. The
Huskies, after halting an Engineer march, had things well
under control with possession of
the ball and time running out.
But quarterback Larry Corn,
trapped near the sideline on a
third-and-10 situation, tried to
dump off a little pass instead of
eating the ball and setting up a
fourth-down punt.
He threw the ball into a
crowd. Safetyman Mike O'Hagan, of Hawthorne, N.J., batted
it into the hands of tackle Brian
Crudeli of Haddon Heights,
N.J., going down near the
scrimmage line. Crudeli
latched onto the deflection and
Lehigh suddenly had another
chance, owning the ball at the
UConn 34 with 1:16 still to play.
Horn didn't waste any time,
dropping back and lofting a pass
to sophomore halfback Dominic
LaSelva of Pottsville, Pa., who
had beaten a defender on a diagonal path toward the goal line.
LaSelva made the catch, his
only one of the day, and con-
