Golfers Win 12 of 14 Meets
Baseballers
(8-11) Rout
Two Rivals
Shortstop Joe McDonald and
outfielder-pitcher Joe Carroll
paced Lehigh's baseballers to a
pair of routs in the rain last week
as the Engineers manhandled
Muhlenberg, 19-2, and Upsala, 17-
5, at Taylor Stadium.
The triumphs snapped a 5-
game losing streak for the
Engineers (8-11) who missed a
chance at a third victory in the
week when a game at Gettysburg
last Saturday was canceled
because of bad weather.
The 5-game dip found the team
bowing to Rutgers, 13-5, Temple,
8-7 in 10 innings, Rider, 2-1 and 5-
3, and West Chester, 10-7.
Carroll, a sophomore from
Arlington, -Varr moved from
center field to the pitching mound
against Muhlenberg and went the
route for his first victory of the
season. Paul Hartzell, a senior
from Bloomsburg, Pa., hurled
the triumph over Upsala, his
fourth in six decisions.
Taylor Stadium's fences took a
beating in the Muhlenberg and
Upsala contests as Lehigh
collected 43 hits and 36 runs.
Carroll and McDonald were the
ringleaders.
Carroll hit safely nine times in
12 appearances and batted in six
runs. He had a homer and eight
singles while lifting his seasonal
mark to .411.
McDonald, a junior from
Inkerman, Pa., followed with
eight hits in 10 tries including two
doubles and a triple, and eight
RBIs. He's batting .347.
Close behind them in the hit
parade were- outfielder Mike
Deschler with five hits in nine
tries for the week, five RBIs and
three homers, boosting his

team made an auspicious debut

Senior co-captain Judy Manns
scored six goals while freshman

Karen Sam, three. The Engineers
made 14 of 18 shots on goal.

saves and had the best record of
any goalie at the tournament.
The other co-captain, freshman
Jeanne Bonney, also played an
outstanding defensive game for
coach Barbara Everhart's team.
