NewSE Enjoys Big Day,
Whalen Kicks Record FG
After his first three passes of
the new football season last Saturday, against Maine, Lehigh
quarterback Larry Michalski
had three completions for 117
yards and two touchdowns.
The Engineers used these
early points as a springboard to
a 24-10 triumph before 10,195
fans in Taylor Stadium.
Maine settled down following
the opening blitz and, aided by
recoveries of four Engineer
fumbles and a pass interception, managed to go the rest of
the way fairly evenly.
Converted defensive halfback
Dan Ryan, of Guilderland,
N.Y., made a stunning debut as
Lehigh's new starting split end,
following in the shadow of the
graduated Steve Kreider and
Mark Yeager. He scored all
three of the Engineer touchdowns, on throws from
Michalski covering 43,65 and 17
yards, during a day in which he
hauled in six aerials for 167
yards.
Michalski, a senior from
Pittsburgh, Pa., who made his
varsity debut last year completing 14 of 27 aerials against
Maine for 234 yards and three
TDs in a 37-6 rout, had an even
better game. This time, while
also throwing for three scores,
he completed 13 of 21 for 257
yards.
On Lehigh's second play from
scrimmage Michalski fired nine
yards to Ryan, reaching mid-
field. After two running plays he
unloaded again, throwing to
Ryan for a touchdown on a play
covering 43 yards.
On the Engineers' second possession they moved from their
12 to the 35 on the ground before
Michalski and Ryan did their
thing again, this time striking
for a 65-yard touchdown. On
each score Ryan broke loose
behind the defense near the left
sideline, made his catch and
raced for the end zone.
Reserve split end Mike
Whalen, of South Plainfield,
N. J., got into the Lehigh record
book on his first field goal try
during the third period, booting
a 49-yarder for a 17-3 lead. The
old mark was 47 yards set by
Dave Mancosh in 1974 against
Colgate and tied by Mark
Weaver against Penn in 1975
and by Ted Iobst against Rhode
