Coach's Comment
"Our team went up to West
Point to win. The young men
were undaunted by 'big time'
opposition and they gave it all
they had. I'm tremendously
proud of the way they conducted
themselves against big odds."

OFFICIALS SIGNAL touchdown as Lehigh gets on the board against Army on a plunge by tailback
Jim Farrell in third quarter. This started comeback which found underdog Engineers overcoming a
20-point deficit to lead 21-20 late in the game.
Engineers Overcome 20-0 Deficit
To Lead 21-20 With 6:18 Left
Heavily-favored Army needed
a 65-yard scoring drive in the
final minutes of play Saturday to
turn back an upset-minded
Lehigh eleven before 36,000
rain-soaked spectators at West
Point, N.Y., 26-21.
The Engineers, following a flat
first half, had overcome a
20-point deficit after the intermission to hold a 21-20 lead when
the desperate Cadets mustered
their successful last-ditch drive.
It was a thrilling contest, once
Lehigh got its offense untracked
in the third quarter, and fans who
braved day-long winds and rain
had more than their share of
thrills down the homestretch.
Lehigh, as a matter of fact, was
threatening for a winning TD in
the final seconds with a drive
from its own 18-yard line to the
Cadet 17 where a first-down
serial by quarterback Kim
McQuilken of Allentown, Pa.,
was wrestled away from receiver
Bill Schlegel of Troy, N.Y., at the
goal line. Twenty-three seconds
remained in the game.
This was the last gasp of an
incredible Engineer effort which
found Coach Fred Dunlap's team
barely missing a major upset.
Army, fresh from a 24-14
conquest of Texas A&M and
leading Lehigh 20-0 three minutes
into the third period, had to win
the game twice as the Engineers
halted their downhill slide and
suddenly caught fire.
Playing conditions were horrible, with gusty winds and
driving rain hampering both
teams. Although the field had
been covered, it wasn't long after
the   tarp   was   removed   that

footing became very difficult.
The crowd was estimated at
36,000 although 42,000 tickets had
been sold in advance for the
Michie Stadium attraction.
Each squad turned rivals'
errors into points. Army needed
only a 9-yard advance to score its
second touchdown, following an
interception, and a 25-yard
march for No. 3 after a fumble
recovery. The Cadets drove 48 for
their initial tally and 65 for the
late game-winner.
Lehigh paraded 78 yards for its
first TD, 35 for No. 2 after an
interception and 62 for its third
following a fumble recovery.
Linebacker Roger McFillin, of
Philadelphia, Pa., made both the
interception and the recovery of
the fumble to set the stage for
these points.
Army bobbled the wet ball five
times and lost three of them.
Lehigh fumbled three times and
lost possession once. There were
five pass interceptions, three by
the Cadets.
McQuilken, who couldn't get
going in the first half, completed
15 of 24 passes after the
intermission for 177 yards and
one touchdown. This gave him 17
for 39, and 193 yards, for the
contest. His total of 39 attempts is
a Lehigh one-game mark.
