Defensive End Greg Clark
Standout Against Pioneers
Lehigh overcame fumbles,
interceptions, heavy snow
flurries, a rash of penalties and a
rugged C.W. Post defense last
Saturday to whip the Pioneers
before 9,500 spectators in Taylor
Stadium, 36-10.
It was the Engineers' eighth
victory in 10 starts and it
strengthened Lehigh's bid for a
berth in the upcoming NCAA Div.
II national championship
playoffs.
The Lehigh defense, strong all
season, placed brilliantly against
Post the entire afternoon. The
offense, up against one of the top
defenses in Div. Ill ranks,
managed to put 36 points on the
board during a hard-hitting
encounter in which officials
called more than 21 penalties.
Lehigh was guilty 10 times and
gave up 108 yards on the infractions. Post was caught 11
times for 174 yards. Several other
times penalties were declined
and offsetting infractions wiped
out a couple of other plays.
There also were 12 turnovers,
six against each team, and these
put additional stress on each
defensive unit. As a result the
game developed into a grind in
which Lehigh netted 259 yards,
well below its seasonal average,
and Post could manage only 97.
Heading up the defenses was
end Greg Clark, of Lehigh, who
rang up 22 tackles including eight
sacks, and recovered a fumble.
Clark, a senior from Pittsford,
N.Y., appeared to be a fifth man
in the Post backfield.
Other Engineer defensive
standouts were senior tackle Tom
Giordani of Hellertown, Pa., who
recovered a pair of fumbles, had
a sack and eight tackles,
sophomore      linebacker      Jim
McCormick of Millville, N.J.,
with nine tackles and a sack,
senior end Glenn Skola of
Wallington, N.J., with seven
tackles and two sacks, and freshmen linebacker Bruce Rarig, of
Whitehall, Pa., with 14 tackles
and a pass interception.
Six different Engineers scored
six points apiece for Lehigh's
total of 36. This group included
two field goal kickers, sophomore
Ken Wood of Pennington, N.J.,
and freshman Ted Iobst of
Emmaus, Pa. The latter also
converted three times in four
tries, with his final effort being
blocked.
Senior quarterback Mike
Rieker, of Catasauqua, Pa.,
tallied his first touchdown of the
season on a 5-yard run, and fired
an 18-yard pass to junior tight end
Don Van Orden, of Hawthorne,
N.J., for another. Senior halfback
Dave Aprill, of Fords, N.J.,
tallied on a 13-yard run and
senior safetyman Steve Hefele, of
Allentown, Pa., dashed 57 yards
into the end zone with an intercepted pass.
Turnovers played a major role.

Playoff Selections Near
Lehigh, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Virginia
Union and a "long shot,"
Delaware, were being
considered this week for
berths in the NCAA Div. II
post-season football
playoffs.
Delaware, 5-3-1, was
given an "outside chance"
for serious consideration if
the Blue Hens upset undefeated Colgate on
Saturday.
New      Hampshire
remained in contention
although its chances were
all but extinct following
last week's 19-6 loss to
Massachusetts.
Div. II officials, at the
NCAA office in Shawnee
Mission, Kansas, said
Monday (Nov. 14) that
"some of the teams" might
be picked early this week
but that many of the
choices wouldn't be known
until Nov. 20.
