Runners  Sweep Three Opponents
Quad Win
Gives Team
8-2 Record
Five Lehigh runners placed in
the first eight finishers Saturday
as the Engineers swept a
quadrangular cross country meet
at East Stroudsburg State.
The Engineers whipped
Millersville, 22-35, West Chester,
15-47, and the host ESSC
Warriors, 20-43, bringing their
season record to eight victories in
10 starts.
Pete Heesen of East Stroudsburg, the defending NCAA Div.
11 champion, captured individual
honors with a time of 27:20 over a
five-mile route under horrible
conditions. Hard rain and wind,
and slick footing, slowed down all
competitors.
Stellan Thoren, of Sweden,
gave Lehigh the No. 2 berth.
Other Engineers in the top eight
included Jim Davis (4th) of
Maplewood, N.J., Dave Rohr
(6th) of Rochester, N.Y., Larry
Ullrich (7th) of Muttontown,
N.Y., and Chuck Sumrell (8th) of
New Bern, N.C.
Coach John Covert's team
faces one.of its toughest tests of
the season at home Saturday,
Oct. 16, against Army, Rutgers
and NYU at 11 a.m.

LENNIE DANHSLS of Lehigh finds his path jammed with Bucknell
defenders during game at Lewisburg. Bisons kicked second-quarter
field goal to gain 3-0 triumph.
JV Gridders Rout Kutztown
Quarterback Jeff Bernstein
fired three touchdown passes and
halfback Matt Ricketson turned
an unsuccessful end sweep into a
64-yard scoring run as Lehigh
whipped Kutztown in junior
varsity football, 40-19.
Bernstein, of Randallstown,
Md., threw his TD aerials to split
end Bill Penrod of Pittsburgh,
Pa., 10 yards; halfback Pete
DeLuca of Newark, N.J., 22
yards, and tight end Dave Rarig
of Whitehall, Pa., 11 yards.
Ricketson, of Liverpool, N.Y.,
ran for more than 100 yards in
about three quarters of action.
His 64-yard TD pickup came in
the second period as he bounced
back from tacklers on a right end
run, recovered his balance,
reversed field and broke free
around the left side of the line.
The 210-pound freshman also was
impressive during the team's
first game Oct. 1, a 15-13 loss at
Rutgers.
Lehigh, dominant from the
start, ran up a 40-3 lead on its
hosts before the Golden Bears
tallied a pair of late touchdowns
against reserves.
Coach Joe Sterrett alternated
Bernstein, Lou Pierro of Hudson,
N.Y., and Rich Andres of
Millville, N.J., at quarterback.
Andres scored on a 7-yard keeper
in the fourth quarter. The other
Lehigh TD came as fullback Eric
Yaszemski, of Harrison, N.J.,
plunged four yards into the end
zone.
Lehigh's JV team (1-1) completes its schedule with three
Friday afternoon home games
starting Oct. 15.
Booters Bow 1-0 At Drexel
Lehigh's varsity soccermen
tumbled back into their scoring
slump last week, battling
Rutgers to a 1-1 tie and losing to
Drexel, 1-0.
Jose Perna tallied against the
Scarlet Knights as the teams
went double overtime before
settling for the draw. Goalie
Larry Keller, of Penndel, Pa.,
gave up the Rutgers goal and was
credited with eight saves before
leaving with five minutes
remaining because of a leg injury.
Reserve goalie Jeff Endell, of
Deal,   N.J.,   worked   against
Drexel and had a fine day with
eight saves but the lack of Lehigh
scoring wasted his effort.
Willie Rapp netted the marker
for Drexel during a scramble at
the mouth of the net in the second
half.

First Time
Since 1970
An underdog Bucknell eleven,
never real close to scoring a
touchdown, parlayed a field goal
with a clutch defense last
Saturday to upset Lehigh 3-0
before 5,000 spectators at
Memorial Stadium, Lewisburg,
Pa.
It was the first shutout inflicted
on the Engineers since 1970 when
Drexel did the trick, 6-0, during a
collegiate doubleheader at
Franklin Field, a span of 64
games.
The only points of the rain-
splattered defensive battle,
played on a muddy gridiron
which made for treacherous
footing, came at the 14:18 mark
of the second period when senior
kicking specialist John Horning
booted a 44-yard field goal.
The kick seemed almost
unimportant at the time because
, there were few observers who
believed three points would win
the game, especially after
Bucknell had won a 32-25 scoring
spree between these same teams
one year earlier.
Bucknell made the field goal
stand up, however, by turning
back the biggest chance either
team had for a TD in the late
moments of the fourth quarter.
Lehigh, inconsistent on offense
but steady defensively on its own
side of the 50-yard line, pulled
itself together after linebacker
Tom Cassone of Stamford, Conn.,
recovered a Bison fumble on the
Engineer 33-yard line with 6:17
remaining in the game.
