Coach's Comment
"We seemed to get our offense
squared away recently and those
victories over Lafayette,Stevens
and Penn State found us getting
a total of 32 goals. The Penn State
triumph was especially
welcome.". . . Steve Jacobson,
lacrosse.
Lehigh lacrossemen (7-2)
continued their strong bid for a
Middle Atlantic title with
triumphs over Stevens, 10-3, and
Lafayette, 10-5.
They split a pair of non-league
decisions, rapping Penn State,
12-4, and bowing at Rutgers,
17-1.
Coach Steven Jacobson's squad
has a 6-1 loop record and two
MAC games remaining. The
Engineers were scheduled to host
F. & M. yesterday (May 10)
before concluding their regular
schedule tomorrow (May 12) at
Lebanon Valley.
F.  &  M. and Lebanon Valley
are"-among the MAC's better
clubs and Jacobson felt all-out
efforts against each would be
necessary to keep title hopes
alive.
In the 10-5 romp against
Lafayette, a trophy attraction,
the Engineers found themselves
locked in a 2-2 tie at the start
of the second half. A six-goal
explosion in the first five minutes
of the third period decided the
issue.
John Bassani netted four goals
in the non-league but highly
impressive rout of Penn State
on   the   Saucon Valley  Fields.
LAST ISSUE
One more issue of the South
Mountaineer is scheduled. It will
appear on May 25.
REV. DAN NOLAN
Rev. Dan Nolan
Main Speaker
The Rev. J. Daniel Nolan, a
Little All-American quarterback
at Lehigh in 1957, will be the
main speaker at the University's
first Student Recognition Dinner
Monday, May 17, inWindishHall.
Father Nolan, a Roman
Catholic priest at St. Ann's,
Albany, N.Y., led Lehigh football
teams of 1955, 1956 and 1957
to 22 victories in 27 games. He
earned All-American laurels in
his senior season as the
Engineers won the Lambert Cup,
emblematic of eastern gridiron
supremacy among medium-sized
schools.

Special Tilt At Lafayette
To Decide Division Crown
Lehigh and Lafayette baseball
teams, after finishing in a tie
for western division laurels in
the Middle Atlantic Conference
with identical 8-2 loop marks, are
scheduled to clash today (May 11)
in a special game to determine
which team advances into playoff competition.
The contest is slated for the
Lafayette diamond at 3 p.m. with
Lehigh the "home" team.
Arrangements for the contest
were made by the MAC games
committee following Sunday
action in which Lehigh swept a
doubleheader at Rider, 4-2 and
1 -0, while Lafayette was knocking
^Delaware out of the race., 18-1.
, These games had been rained out.
Saturday.
Lehigh pulled into position for
a share of first place one weekend
earlier with a split against the
Leopards, winning 7-5 in Easton
and losing 14-2 at home one day
.later.
In a non-league scrap last week
the Engineers outscored visiting
Fordham, 11-6. A contest against
St. Joseph's was postponed at the
Explorers' request.

Trackmen Shooting For Perfect Campaign
Record-setting performances
by Dave McCartney in the triple
jump and John Hill in the shot
put paced Lehigh's unbeaten
trackmen (6-0) to major triumphs
over MAC champion West
Chester, 83-62, and Lafayette,
86-64.
Coach John Covert tabbed the
West Chester victory as Lehigh's
finest track accomplishment
within memory. The powerful
Rams are favored to take MAC
honors again Saturday as they
host   the   MAC   championships.
The victory at Lafayette
assured Lehigh of at least a tie
for the 1970-71 All-Sports
Trophy against the Leopards.
It gave the Engineers a 6-5
lead with only a golf matchi
remaining.
Lehigh, trying for its first
undefeated track campaign sincei
1932, has one hurdle left. The
Engineers visit Rutgers today
(May 11).
McCartney set a school and
Saucon Valley track record
reaching 45 feet, 8 3/4 inches
to win the triple jump against
West Chester.
His leap was 1 3/4 inches
longer than the previous Engineer
standard set by teammate Orrin
Meyers last season. Meyers
missed beating his own record
by one inch while taking a
second against the RsTms.
The jump also shattered the
six year old Saucon Valley Fields
mark of 45 feet, five inches set
by Delaware's Bob Wills.
Hill set a Metzger Field record
in the shot put as he, Jack Rizzo
and Neil Tarulli each won a pair
of events against rival Lafayette.
Hill's heave of 53 feet, three
inches was more than a foot
longer than the old mark set by
Colgate's Mike Stein. Hill also
won the discus with a toss of*
141 feet, one inch.
Rizzo   won   the  100  and  220
yard dashes in respective times
of 9.9 and 22.2 seconds.
Tarulli took the 120 high
hurdles in 14.4 and the 440 intermediates in 57.8.

Coach's Comment
"Beating West Chester has
to be the biggest thing Lehigh
has done in track for many years.
The victory over Lafayette wasn' t
hard to take, either, especially
because it gave us an important
trophy point. We're getting some
exceptional individual performances.". . . John Covert, track.
