Coach's Comment
TfWe were disappointed that
Tim Steele couldn't upset Ron
Stonitsch but the idea is to get
a winning team effort and our
balance made it possible to defeat all three quadrangular rivals." .... John Covert, cross
c ountry.
Harriers Sweep Quadrangular
Despite Steele's First Setback
Lehigh swept honors in a quadrangular cross country test at
Van Cortlandt Park, New York
City, Saturday with triumphs over
C. W. Post, Boston State and
Springfield.
This gave Coach John Covert's
defending Middle Atlantic
Conference and IC4A college
division champions eight straight
victories after an opening loss
to Penn.
Tim Steele. Lehigh's MAC
champ, was beaten for the first
time this season by Ron Stonitsch of Post, a two-time national
college division title-holder but
he led the Engineers to a team
triumph.
Steele placed second and was
followed across the finish  line
by teammates Roger Jackucewicz, Mike Strockbine, John
Heil and captain Bob Detrick.
Scott Nicholas placed eighth.
Stonitsch's winning time was
24:42,5.  Steele did 25;33#
Lehigh won 20-42 over Post,
15-48 over Boston State and 15-
49 overSpringfield.
The Engineers make their final
home appearance of the season,
Wednesday (Oct. 28) against

Rizzo's 62-yard Dash Triggers
Romp; Diorio Scores Twice
A revamped Lehigh backfield,
led by Jack Rizzo and Don Diorio,
found the scoring touch Saturday
as the Engineers bombarded Gettysburg on the losers' gridiron,
34-15, before 4,248 disappointed
Homecoming Day spectators.
The victory brought the Engineers' seasonal record to 3-3
with games remaining against
Colgate, Delaware, Bucknell and
Lafayette.
Rizzo uncorked a 62-yard dash
for the afternoon's first touchdown, Diorio tallied on plays
covering two and 30 yards, Eric
Waldman got across on a two-
yard plunge and Ron Schatten-
berg contributed field goals of
24 and 20 yards along with four
extra points.
Gettysburg (2-4) made a contest of it for one half, trailing
10-7 at the intermission, but was
snowed under in the third and
fourth quarters as Lehigh dominated the action. Virtually the
entire second half was played inside the Bullet 40-yard line. Except for a 73 yard scoring pass
maneuver, Bob Eisenman to Bill
Albans, the Bullets never reached midfield. Lehigh already had
its 34 points on the board when
the long bomb connected.
Rizzo, installed at fullback with
new plays designed to spring him
wide found daylight off the right
flank at 5:13 of the first quarter
and dashed 62 yards for a 7-0
advantage.
Gettysburg, aided by a rough-
ing-the-punter penalty which allowed the Bullets to retain possession near midfield, and another key penalty at the Lehigh
18, retaliated with a 38- yard
scoring drive early in the second
period. The TD came on a 3-yard
pass, Tim Brennan to Albans, and
the score became 7-7 with 10:53
remaining in the half.
Action see-sawed back and
forth until late in the stanza when
the Engineers took over on the
Gettysburg 42  and   moved  to a
first down on the 20 helped by a
pass interference call and a 13-
yard sprint by Jack Paget. When
the advance stalled Schattenberg
booted his first three-pointer
from the 24-yard line and this
gave Lehigh its 10-7 halftime
margin. The Engineers stormed
back in the closing seconds of the
period and Schattenberg had another field goal opportunity from
the 38, a 48-yard effort, which
fell short with two seconds left.
In the early moments of the
third quarter Ed Romanow recovered a fumble on the Gettysburg 29 and the Engineers didn't
let up until they had scored 17
points in the period and taken
charge with a 27-7 lead.
Rizzo and Diorio split the yardage moving to the two and Diorio
slammed through the right side

Colgate Next
Football Rival
Lehigh and Colgate football
teams, which battled to a 14-14
draw last year, resume their
series Saturday (Oct. 31) at Hamilton, N.Y. The kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
The Engineers and the Red
Raiders first met in 1922 with
Colgate on top. The series didn't
pick up again until 1960 with Lehigh winning. Since then the
teams have tangled each year
except for 1965. Colgate leads,
7-2-1.
Defensive end Mike Ellis of
the Engineers will be in familiar
territory. The outstanding senior
an ECAC weekly all-star selection for a great performance
during Lehigh's 7-0 triumph over
Rutgers on Oct. 10, is from Chenango Bridge, N.Y. He played for
Chenango   Valley   High   School.
