Against Black Bears
Lehigh footballers, challenging
unbeaten Massachusetts for first
place in the Lambert Cup race
and trying to strengthen national
ranking acquired after back-to~
back triumphs over Rutgers and
Delaware, put some impressive
numbers on the scoreboard
Saturday in Taylor Stadium.
The Engineers (6-1) coasted to
a 51-14 margin over Maine (2-5)
No TV
Saturday's football game
in Taylor Stadium, between Lehigh and Colgate,
will not be included on
ABC-TV's regional or
network schedule on Nov.
1.
Intensive efforts, by both
Lehigh and Colgate officials, to have the contest
televised were to no avail,
but the game did receive
consideration by ABC
officials.
ABC-TV doesn't plan to
feature any Eastern teams
on its Nov. 1 schedule.
Missouri vs Nebraska
will be offered as the
network game. Regional
contests will be Southern
California vs California,
LSU vs Mississippi, and
South Carolina vs North
Carolina State.
Publication of this
week's South Mountaineer
was delayed 24 hours
pending a decision on the
game by ABC-TV officials
in New York,
before some 9,500 Freshman
Parents Day spectators.
Massachusetts, a 29-14 victor
over Connecticut, had taken
Maine earlier in the season but
only by a 10-0 margin.
It was Lehigh's fifth straight
victory and the 11th win in the
last 12 appearances, including
the final five in 1974. Coach Fred
Dunlap has his Brown and White
squad flying high with one of the
most explosive offenses
nationally in Div. II. The
Engineers are averaging 38
points and 463 yards a game.
Fullback Rod Gardner of
Maplewood, N. J., quarterback
Joe Sterrett of Wallingford, Pa.,
and tight end Larry Henshaw of
Hammonton, N. J., were the big
guns against the over-matched
Black Bears of the Yankee
Conference.
Gardner carried the ball 18
times for 121 yards and two
touchdowns while catching four
passes for 79 yards and a third
TD.
Sterrett, even though being
intercepted three times, completed 13 of 20 tosses for 230 yards
and three touchdowns, and
carried the ball eight times for 26
yards and a touchdown.
Henshaw hauled in three
aerials for 67 yards including a
pair of TDs.
Lehigh reached the ultimate in
balance with matching totals of
282 yards in rushing and passing,
respectively, for a 564-yard afternoon.
Except   for   one   below-par
quarter,   the  second,   in  which
they  gave  the  ball  away  four
times and yielded a pair of touch-

Unbeaten, Untied '50 Team
To Be Honored Saturday
Twenty-five years ago this fall
an outstanding squad coached by
Bill Leckonby, now director of
athletics at Lehigh, became the
first and only football team ever
to fashion a perfect season at the
University. Lehigh has fielded an
intercollegiate football team
since 1884.
Members of the 1950 squad,
which had a 9-0-0 record, are to be
feted Saturday, Nov. 1, in Taylor
Stadium as the Engineers host
Colgate.
The Silver Anniversary Salute
will include a pre-game parade in
the stadium, halftime
ceremonies, and post-game
activities.
This team defeated Delaware,
Case, Bucknell, Gettysburg,
Dartmouth, Rutgers, Muhlenberg, Carnegie Tech and
Lafayette.
Acceptances of invitations to
attend the Silver Anniversary
Salute already have been
received from former players
and coaches from 12 states including California and Texas.
Dr. Deming Lewis, Lehigh
president, is scheduled to head a
list of dignitaries paying tribute
to the 1950 squad.
