First Loss
For Soccer
Squad,2-0
After running its unbeaten,
untied streak through eight games
with a 1-0 victory over Rider, the
Lehigh soccer squad went down
for the first time at the hands of
Fairleigh-Dickinson at Madison,
N. J., 2-0.
Simon Newton had the winning
marker against Rider at Trenton,
N. J., with an assist from Paul
Lowenberg. It came with 6:25
gone in the third period.
Fairleigh-Dickinson of Madison, blessed with a large number
of foreign students, got two goals
from Stelios Rotsides to gain its
triumph.
Rotsides tallied for the first
time on a screened shot past
Engineer goalie Joe Strickland.
It was only the fourth marker
allowed by Lehigh in nine
contests. He later scored again on
a penalty kick.
For Tom Fleck of the
Engineers it was his first coaching setback after 13 victories,
five of them with last year's
Lehigh frosh unit.
Lehigh (8-1) has three
contests remaining. Only one of
them, against Bucknell on Saturday (Nov. 8) is at home.
Fleck's team, a divisional
leader in the Middle Atlantic
Conference, needs one triumph
to become the "winningest"
soccer team in Engineer history.
No Lehigh squad ever won more
than   eight  times  in  a  season.
The next outing is against

Red Raiders Gain 14-14 Stalemate
Against Underdog Engineer Eleven
Lehigh's finest all-around
football effort of the season last
Saturday produced a 14-14 stalemate against a favored Colgate
eleven before 7,500 spectators
in Taylor Stadium,
The Engineers (2-4-1)
narrowly missed upsetting the
Raiders (3-2-1) who came to
Bethlehem boasting back-to-back
victories over Princeton, 35-28,
and Brown, 20-6.
It was Centennial Day for
Lehigh,     observing    the    100th
Paul Short Memorial Run
Won By Lehigh Harriers
Lehigh cross country runners
continued their winning ways last
week with a dual triumph at
Gettysburg, 15-49, and first place
in the initial Paul Short Memorial
Invitational on the Saucon Valley
Fields.
It was the eighth straight dual
victory for Coach John Covert's
squad (8-1).
Six Engineers tied for first
place at the battleground. This
group included seasonal pacesetter Tim Steele, Roger
Jackucewicz, Scott Nicholas, Bob
Detrick, John Heil and Ed Carney.
It was the seventh time that
Lehigh swept the first five
scoring spots.
In the Paul Short Memorial
Invitational the Engineers again
di splayed excellent balance
although yielding individual
laurels to Ron stonitsch of C. W.
Post. Steele, Jackucewicz,
Nicholas and Heil followed him
across the finish line. Detrick
was  seventh and  Carney ninth.
The Engineers were charged
with  only  21 points to far out
distance the field. Post, in second
place, had 74.
Fairleigh-Dickinson of
Rutherford, N. J., placed third
with 78 followed by Mt. St. Mary's
of Emmitsburg, Md., 114,
Trenton State, 119, Fairleigh-
Dickinson of Madison, N. J.,
133, and Seton Hall, 173.
Stonitsch's  winning time was
30:31.  Steele covered the route
in 30:42.

Coach's Comment
"We're happy with the first
Paul Short Memorial Run
although we couldn't win individual honors. Cross country is
a team sport and we won the
team trophy.". . . John Covert,

season of collegiate football
across the nation, and oddly
enough the first stalemate since
1964 -- during the 100th game
of the Engineers' series with
Lafayette — when the score was
6-6.
Coach Fred Dunlap's squad,

a 26-24 heartbreaking loss to
Gettysburg one week earlier, outplayed Colgate on the ground and
in the air but couldn't quite pull
off its second major surprise of
the campaign. The first, of
course, was a 17-7 conquest of
Rutgers.
The Engineers were close, so
close, on their final serious
threat of the day as they lined
up for a field goal try with 30
seconds remaining. Kicking
specialist  Ron Schattenberg, an
excellent marksman, was right in
front of the goal posts with a
favorable wind at his back.
Lehigh was on the Raider 18,
with the ball being set up at the 25,
when Schattenberg's kick was
delayed momentarily because of
a mishandled pass from center.
He booted it only to have Doug
Willies of the visitors smother
the ball as it left his foot.
It had been a second-down try
and Lehigh recovered the ball on
the Colgate 44. Jim Baxter fired
two passes, the second a long
bomb intercepted in the end zone
as time expired.
The tie was disappointing to
both squads, to Colgate because
the Raiders had been solid favorites, and to Lehigh because the
Engineers played well enough to
