Quarterback John Dean fired
four touchdown passes, all in the
second quarter, Sunday night as
Lehigh won a junior varsity
football opener over Kutztown on
the Saucon Fields, 39-0.
Dean, a freshman from
Philadelphia and LaSalle High
School was one of four quarterbacks used by the Little
Engineers, each playing one
period.
His scoring tosses were 11
yards to tight end Paul Anastesio
of Camp Hill, Pa., 50 yards to
halfback Terry Heffner of
Allentown, Pa., 20 yards to
fullback John Ahsler of Chatham,
N.J., and 70 yards to split end
Barry Corriel of Millington, N.J.
Ahsler also scored on a one-
yard plunge, following a 49-yard
pass from quarterback Ron Carr
of Selinsgrove, Pa., to split end
Ryan Mulqueen of Bethlehem,
Pa., and halfback Eddie Godbolt
of Bethlehem ended the romp
with a 30-yard touchdown sprint
off the left side in the third
quarter.
Kutztown, trailing 32-0 at
halftime, managed a drive to the
Lehigh one-yard line in the fourth
period before giving the ball up
on downs.
Brian Dehler of Lake Lake
Grove, N.Y., quarterbacked the
Little Engineers in the third
period and Larry Michalski of
Pittsburgh, Pa., handled the job
in the fourth.

An impressive second-half
comeback fell short last Saturday
as Lehigh's football team
dropped a 21-14 decision to the
University of Delaware before
20,636 fans at Newark, De.
It was the first victory for the
Blue Hens over the Engineers in
the last three meetings between
these two old rivals.
Lehigh won 35-23 in 1975, its
most recent visit to Delaware
Stadium before Saturday, and 27-
17 last season in Bethlehem. The
teams didn't meet in 1976 and
1977.
In the 1979 tussle the Engineers
fell behind in the first half, 14-0,
tallied twice around a Blue Hen
touchdown after the intermission, but were unable to
capitalize upon an excellent
chance to score again with about
six minutes left in the game.
The golden opportunity came
after the Lehigh defense, playing
solidly all afternoon, twice
stopped the Blue Hens deep in
their own territory and forced
punts.
After that second kick, which
only reached the Delaware 35-
yard line, the Engineers got a
couple of yards from fullback
Bob Romeo, of New Providence,
N.J., and 13 big ones as quarterback Rich Andres of Millville,
N.J., completed a pass to tight
end Dave Rarig of Whitehall, Pa.

With a first down at the 20, and
momentum definitely on their
side, the Engineers came up with
a fumbled pitchout recovered by
Delaware on the 23. It was
Lehigh's last chance to tie or win.
The Engineers' touchdowns
both came on passes from Andres
to split end Mark Yeager of
Madison, N.J.
In the third period, down 14
points, they were in scoring
position after a fine 37-yard punt
return by Mike Tuohey of N.
Syracuse, N.Y.
This gave them possession on
the Delaware 30. Andres immediately threw nine yards to
halfback Jeff Bernstein, of
Randallstown, Md., and Romeo
rammed his way eight yards
through the middle, reaching the
13. Halfback Joe Rabuck, of
Philadelphia, Pa., contributed
three yards and on a third down
situation Andres hit Yeager on a
10-yard pass in the end zone.

The second Lehigh TD came
early in the fourth quarter and
was set up when safetyman Keith
Conley, of Rockville, Md.,
pounced upon a fumble at the
Blue Hen 12. Rabuck ran for six
of those yards before Andres
fired the final six across the goal
line, again to Yeager.
Placekicker Ted Iobst, of Em-
maus, Pa., converted after each
touchdown.
Lehigh trailed 21-14, with 12:30
remaining in the game, and the
Engineers were in fine position
with a strong wind at their backs
to pin down the Hens and do
further damage. The defense did
that job on the next two Delaware
possessions only to have the
costly pitchout fumble write an
end to the comeback.
Delaware, a 19-point favorite in
Dunkel ratings, drove 67 yards in
seven plays after an interception
for its initial score very late in the
first quarter. The big play was a
46-yard pass completion to the
Lehigh 11. Two plays later
quarterback Scott Brunner fired
those 11 yards down the middle to
halfback Lou Mariani in the end
zone.
Midway in the second stanza
the Hens made it 14-0 as Guy
Ramsey picked off another
Lehigh pass and raced 74 yards
across the goal line. Delaware's
final TD came on a second 67-
yard march, taking nine plays,
with fullback Bo Dennis piling up
64 of those yards.
Dennis, a 6-3, 220-pound senior,
carried the ball eight straight
times and one of those efforts was
a 35-yard gallop to the Lehigh 19
where halfback Charlie Marck, of
Bethesda, Md., made a last-man
tackle near the sideline.
The Engineers braced, giving
up further yards very
grudgingly, but Dennis rammed
his way four yards to the 6, on a
fourth-and-one maneuver, and
then picked up three more to the 3
on his eighth consecutive turn
with the ball.
Delaware gave him a
moment's rest at that point,
sending Mariani on a right end
sweep toward the end zone. He
fought his way to the goal line,
dropped the ball, but had
teammate Ed Wood fall on it in
the end zone for the touchdown.
Lehigh holds the record for
most points ever scored against
Penn State in a football game,
routing the Lions 106-0 in 1889.
