Honored
Two Lehigh football players
were honord this week by the
Eastern College Athletic Conference for outstanding performances against Pennsylvania.
Quarterback Marty Horn, a

U.
Linebacker John Shigo, a junior from Bethlehem, Pa., was
named to the weekly honor roll

for the Colgate contest when he
had 16 tackles, eight of them

interception.

game against Penn, completed
11 of 19 passes for 131 yards and
two touchdowns, without an

Quakers Win 20-17 With 17 Points
In 2:47 Span Of Third Quarter
Pennsylvania, breaking out of
a tight defensive duel, tallied 17
points in only 2:47 of the third
quarter last Saturday and
fought off a late counter-attack
to defeat Lehigh's football
team, 20-17, before 11,154 in
Philadelphia.
It was the second victory for
the Quakers, 21-0 winners one
week earlier over Dartmouth,
and the third loss for the Engineers in three starts.
The Franklin Field artificial
surface took its toll, too, with
offensive halfbacks Terry
Heffner of Allentown, Pa., and
Jim Ancel of Baltimore, Md.,
and safetyman Jim Gum of
Wind Gap, Pa., all going to the
sideline with leg injuries.
Ancel started for the Engineers in place of seasonal rushing leader Ed Godbolt, of
Bethlehem, Pa., kept out of
action after injuring a thigh in
practice. Backup quarterback
Bill Rambo, of Easton, Pa., also
didn't play, recovering from a
neck injury sustained one week
earlier against Colgate.
Rambo's absence opened the
way for an impressive performance by freshman quarterback Marty Horn of Short Hills,
N.J., as a late replacement for
starter Tony Semler of Allentown, Pa., who never could light
a fire under the Lehigh offense.
Horn entered the game in the
final moments of the third quarter with Penn holding a 20-3
lead. The 6-3, 190-pound rookie,
heading a contingent of newcomers Coach John Whitehead
sent into action, made it close
with 11 completions in 19 passing attempts for 131 yards and
two touchdowns.
The scoring tosses went to
freshman split end Richard
Benn, also of Short Hills and a
teammate of Horn's last year at
Millburn H.S., and sophomore
halfback Dominic LaSelva of
Pottsville, Pa. His TD to Benn
accounted for the final 11 yards
of a 53-yard drive. He threw to
Benn for 11 and 13 yards earlier
on this march, to LaSelva for 11
and fullback John Ahsler, of
Chatham, N.J., for 10.
This cut Penn's advantage to
20-10 with 9:19 remaining in the
game.
With 3:21 left reserve line
backer Tim Gillespie, of Glen
Ridge, N.J., intercepted a pass
near   midfield   giving   Horn
another chance to throw. Now
battling the clock, he fired 12
yards to LaSelva, 17 to Benn and
eight more to LaSelva. On a
second-and-14, at the Penn 23,
he hit LaSelva again in the end
zone for another touchdown.

Lehigh still trailed, 20-17, but
only 1:20 was left and an onsides
kickoff proved unsuccessful.
The Quakers ran three plays
near midfield, killing the clock,
before Lehigh regained possession after a punt on its own 18
yard line with seven seconds
remaining.
The Engineers' only earlier
points had come in the opening
quarter after Gum returned an
intercepted pass 19 yards to the
Quaker 34. Lehigh reached the
21 in two running plays but
Semler was sacked for a 13-yard
loss. On third down he fired to
tight end Jeff Hunt, of Nazareth,
Pa., at the 18 but the gain was
seven yards shy of a first down
and Jim Scott of Boonsboro,
Md., kicked a 35-yard field goal
for a 3-0 lead.
Penn enjoyed great field position during almost all of the
second period and eventually
pulled into a tie on Dave Shul-
man's 33-yard field goal.
It was 3-3 at the intermission
with each team showing four
first downs. Lehigh had a yar-
