John Steckbeck, 65, retired last June 30 as professor emeritus of physical education. Sept. 28, less than a month before his death, he had been honored at a gigantic testimonial dinner in the new Stabler Athletic . and Convocation center sponsored by the Lehigh Alumni Assn. and the Lehigh Home Club. A memorial service, open to all, is scheduled for Packer Chapel at the University Wednesday, Oct. 31, at 4 p.m. All other services were private. AlumNotes WEDNESDAY, NOV. 7 Delaware Valley Lehigh Club: Participating in annual Middle Three Dinner involving Lehigh, Lafayette and Rutgers, at the Washington Crossing Inn, Washington Crossing, Pa., off Rt. 202. Reception 6 p.m.; dinner 7 p.m., from $10 to $14. Dr. Edward J. Bloustein, president of Rutgers, principal speaker. George Lukes, 911 Weber Dr., Yardley, Pa. 19067, phone 215-493- 6798, reservations chairman. Engineers Roll Up 23-2 Margin ainst Bisons Lehigh manhandled Bucknell everywhere but on the scoreboard last Saturday, needing a fourth-down scoring pass and a conversion to nip the Bisons in the final minute of play at Lewisburg, Pa., 14-13. Quarterback Rich Andres, of Millville, N.J., fired the winning aerial to fullback Mike Ford, of Kansas City, Mo., and placekicker Ted Iobst of Em- maus, Pa., added the crucial extra point with 56 seconds left in the game. The pass covered five yards. Earlier Andres had thrown a 10-yard scoring aerial to halfback Vince Rogusky of Catesauqua, Pa., and Iobst had converted to put the Engineers out front, 7-6. Observers who like to point out that statistics are meaningless, that only the score is worth remembering, never will fail to use this 43rd Lehigh-Bucknell struggle as a prize example. The Engineers had a laugher on the field but a squeaker on the scoreboard. They never would've been able to explain how they lost if the last-minute Andres to Ford aerial hadn't found its mark and Iobst hadn't converted. Lehigh's statistical dominance was staggering. The Engineers had the ball for 45:47 against only 14:13 for the Bisons, running 95 plays against 35. They led 23-2 in first downs, refusing to allow a first down after the opening quarter. They led 239-108 in yards rushing and 119-8 in yards passing for a total yardage margin of 358-116. And 91 of Bucknell's yards came on the Bisons' second series of downs when scatback Hassan Abdellah bounced off a pileup in the middle of the line, scampered to his left and outran everyone down the sideline. In the third period he returned a punt 83 yards for another TD and those JVs Complete Perfect Season Lehigh completed a perfect junior varsity football season Oct. 26 with a 34-9 rout of Lafayette at Fisher Field. The Little Engineers played three games and won them all. Earlier victims were Kutztown, 39-0, and East Stroudsburg, 30-7. A contest against West Chester was cancelled at the Rams' request. Lafayette, which ended its season with a 1-3 record, scored first when Lehigh punter Ryan Mulqueen of Bethlehem, Pa., was thrown in the end zone for a safety after a poor pass from center. The Leopard Cubs took that 2-0 advantage into the second quarter before Terry Heffner of Allentown, Pa., scored on a 56- yard pass from John Dean of (Continued on Page 2) runs represented Bucknell's offense for the day. Abdellah, after going 91 on his first attempt, wound up with seven carries for 97 yards. Except for that one long sprint Bucknell ran 34 plays from scrimmage for 25 yards. While the Lehigh defense was almost completely shutting down the Bison offense, the Engineer offense kept rolling up first downs and yardage only to be frustrated by key defensive plays and penalties when nearing the end zone. Bucknell, which has been strong defensively all year with shutouts against Cornell, Davidson and Lafayette, hung in until the final minute making just enough damaging plays to keep the Engineers from scoring a knockout. In the second period, trailing 6- 0, Lehigh drove 50 yards in seven chances for a touchdown with Andres picking up runs of 13 and 17 yards and handing off to Steve Plucinsky of Wallington, N.J., and Bob Romeo of New Providence, N.J., for key shorter gains. Bucknell came up with a big Seven Straight Winning Years Lehigh's victory at Bucknell clinched a record seventh consecutive winning football season for the Engineers who are 6-2 with three games remaining. They are in their 96th year. They put strings of six consecutive winning campaigns together in 1886-1891 before even having a full-time coach, in 1912-1917 under Tom Ready, and in 1947-1952 under Bill Leckonby, now director of athletics. The current streak started with Fred Dunlap, now director of athletics and head coach at Colgate, producing winning campaigns in 1973-4-5. John Whitehead, his successor, has followed with winning records in 1976-7-8-9. sack in this drive, throwing Andres for a seven-yard loss back to the 10-yard line, but the Engineer quarterback retaliated with his scoring strike to Rogusky who caught the ball several yards from the end zone and drove across the line. When Iobst converted it was 7-6 in favor of Lehigh, the Bisons having muffed their first extra point attempt. Abdellah's 83-yard punt return TD interrupted the Engineers' dominance in the third period, giving the Bisons the lead again at 13-7, and it wasn't until late in the fourth that Coach John Whitehead's troops could manage their decisive drive. First they moved from their 21 to the Bucknell 14 only to lose the ball on downs. They forced a return punt and had the ball at midfield with the final minutes ticking away. With Andres producing key third-down passes to Brian Lewis of Syosset, N.Y., for 13 yards, and Ford yards, the Engineers marched to a first down at the nine. Joe Rabuck, of Philadelphia, Pa., slammed seven yards through right guard on first down and Ford added one at the middle. This gave Lehigh a third-and- one for a touchdown. Andres, attempting a rollout to the left, tripped and fell at the five. On fourth down he started to his right and fired the ball to Ford in the end zone for the TD. Then it was up to Iobst and he came through for the 16th straight time after missing his first kick of the season at West Chester.
