Vol. 17 — No. 6 OCTOBER 29, 1972 BETHLEHEM, PA. LU, Trailing 14-0, Rallies To End Maine's 3-Game Win Streak, 35-26 Rogers Victorious In Canisius Meet Wayne Rogers, Lehigh's distance-running star from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., took first place in Saturday's annual Canisius Invitational cross country test at Buffalo, N.Y., but the Engineers had to settle for fourth place in the team scoring. Rogers covered the 4.5 mile route in 21 minutes and 47 seconds, finishing one second ahead of John Sharpe, a 3:56 miler from Toronto University. Rogers moved ahead to stay 80 yards from the tape. In a dual meet last week the Engineers routed visiting Gettysburg, 17-43, for their ninth straight triumph and 12th in 13 outings. Elliot Michael of Millwood, N.Y., and Rogers shared first place in 15:33 over the 5-mile course. Mickey Yardis of Chappaqua, N.Y., placed third for the Engineers with Stellan Thoren of Sweden fourth, Dave Cope seventh, Rich Bourie of Longmeadow, Mass., eighth, and Frosh II Defeated Bucknell rallied to outscore Lehigh, 24-18, in a Freshman Parents Weekend football attraction at Taylor Stadium. The Little Engineers (3-2) led twice, 3-0 and 9-7, but the Bisons (3-2) tallied three touchdowns during a wild second quarter to win. Quarterback Mike Rieker, of Catasauqua, produced the Lehigh scores on passes of 56 and 58 yards to wingback Pete Fenton of Avenel, N. J., who caught the ball each time at the 20 and outran all pursuit. John Horning kicked a 49-yard field goal for Bucknell along with three extra points. Mike Rayhill, of Grand Island, N. Y., kicked field goals of 27 and 32 yards for the losers. The scoring summary: Bucknell 0 21 3 0—24 Lehigh 3 12 0 3—18 L—FG 27 Rayhill. B—Breading 1 run. Horning kick. L—Fenton 58 pass from Rieker.

Long Runs Spice Contest As Engineers Reach .500; Weaver Goes 83 Yards Lehigh and Maine, a pair of fired-up football teams with reverse streaks, traded knockout punches in a free-scoring scramble at Orono, Me., last Saturday in a wild battle which produced nine touchdowns and 763 yards. When the dust settled the Engineers had a victory, 35-26, which ended a 3-game losing string, and the Black Bears had a defeat which halted a 3-game winning skein. Offensive units took charge in the first half, as Lehigh overcame a 14-0 deficit to gain a 21-20 intermission lead, but the defensive teams commanded attention in the third and fourth quarters. The Engineers' only breakthroughs in the second half came on an 83-yard run by freshman tailback Mark Weaver, who topped all runners in the contest, and a 74-yard touchdown sprint by the defensive halfback Ted Kukawski of Glenolden, Pa., after a pass interception. Kukawski's runback was the final clincher in a thriller which found each team remaining in contention until the last minute of play. Weaver, the 6-foot, 180-pound freshman from Allentown, Pa., who starred last year for Salisbury High, was in on almost everything all afternoon. He carried the ball 15 times for 161 yards and two touchdowns, caught two passes for 62 yards, punted eight times for a 36-yard average, returned a punt 36 yards, returned a kickoff nine yards, and had a 12-yard TD run nullified by a penalty. Despite all of these heroics he could've been a loser except for an exchange of fumbles late in the fourth quarter. Maine, already having turned a bobble by Alleva into a touchdown early in the period to slice Lehigh's lead to 28-26, had its final big chance with less than five minutes remaining when Weaver lost the ball on the Engineer 6-yard line. The Bears immediately fumbled it back, however, with Ron Ross recovering at the 5 for Lehigh. With the ball at the 5 the Engineers sent Rod Gardner of Maplewood, N.J., plunging into the line twice for no gain. On a crucial third down play Gardner. carried again and this time broke free at. left end and reached the Lehigh 35. This 32-yard pickup was one of the most important gains of the day. Although the drive ultimately stalled, the Engineers punted from near midfield instead of the shadow of their goal posts, and Maine had to make a last, desperation bid from its 27 as the clock ticked off the final minutes. The Bears moved to the Engineer 35, close enough to make a field goal a threat (the score was 28-26) only to have Kukawski pick off Jack Cosgrove's aerial and race 74 yards into the end zone. One play after the ensuing kickoff time ran out. "What can you say about a game like that?" asked Lehigh coach Fred Dunlap. "Our men refused to quit when we fell behind early, 14-0, and again at 20-14, and Maine wouldn't play dead when we had them 28-20 in the last quarter." The contest was a pivotal one for the Engineers who balanced their record at 3-3 with remaining contests against Gettysburg, Davidson, Bucknell and Lafayette. There isn't a winner among them and the route to another winning campaign is a lot less hazardous. Lehigh hasn't put winning years back to back since the Dan Nolan era of 1955, 1956 and 1957. Dunlap and his squad have a bright chance to correct that oversight in the next three weeks, successively hosting Gettysburg (3-3), Davidson (1-4) and Bucknell (1-5) before finishing their schedule Nov. 23 at Lafayette (3-4). Two fast touchdowns got the ball rolling for Lehigh last Saturday. Trailing 14-0 early in the second period the Engineers marched 71- (Continued on Page 2) How Future Foes Fared Gettysburg (3-3) lost to Albright, 17-14; Davidson (1-4) defeated Hampden-Sydney, 17-16; Bucknell (1-5) lost to Columbia, 38-33; Lafayette (3-4) lost to Colgate,- 24-18.
