Victory Over Cadets First
For Engineers Since 1893
Lehigh's football team contributed a glowing chapter to its Centennial Season
history last Saturday, upsetting Army before 40,805 fans on the plains of West
Point, 13-12. It was the Engineers' first triumph over the Cadets since the series
opener in 1893 and for most of the spectators it ruined Homecoming Day festivities. Playing before the largest turnout ever to see Lehigh in a game, they managed touchdown drives in the first and fourth quarters to top one touchdown and
two field goals put on the board by the Cadets. Army leads the series, 7-2-1.
A placekick by Jim Scott of
Boonsboro, MD, after the Engineers' opening score, became
the winning margin when Army
was unsuccessful on a two-point
conversion pass following its
lone touchdown.
Lehigh was outgunned a bit
statistically but played the
entire contest without losing the
ball on an interception or a fumble, and given this boost the
defense more than did its share,
halting the Cadets at critical
times and pouncing upon three
Army bobbles.
It was a redeeming turnaround for a defensive platoon
which had been racked for 52
points one week earlier at New
Hampshire while yielding seven
touchdowns and a field goal.
And the defenders, after giving up Army's lone TD with 3:52
remaining in the third quarter,
were stripped of their All-
American leader, linebacker
John Shigo, who re-injured a
knee on the unsuccessful conversion try. The rugged senior
from Bethlehem, PA, watched
the rest of the game from the
sideline.
In less than three periods he
had figured in 11 tackles, including a crucial 12-yard quarterback sack which forced the
Cadets to kick a field goal
instead of possibly getting a
touchdown, and recovered a
fumble on the Lehigh 19.
Lehigh's offense, getting
enough clutch running from
sophomore tailback Peter
Schreck of West Lawn, PA, to
keep the Army defense honest,
put six first downs together during a scoring drive in the first
period and had three more during another TD march in the
fourth. The Engineers also had
a pair of crucial first downs
back-to-back near the end of the
game when time-consuming
possession was all-important.
That movement, along with
some   fine   punting   by   Mike
O'Hagan of Hawthorne, NJ,
kept Army at arm's length.
O'Hagan punted a dozen times
for a 39-yard average, several of
them intentionally short boots
which kept the Cadets in poor
field position.

drive covered 73 yards in 15
plays and included a pass of 17
yards from quarterback Marty
Horn of Short Hills, NJ, to wing-
back Eric Hunsberger of
Schwenksville, PA, and tosses
of 11 and 12 yards to alternate
wingback Jim Davidson of
Selinsgrove, PA. Schreck had a
nine-yard thrust on a draw and a
couple of shorter gains.
Another Horn pass to Davidson resulted in an interference
call, giving the Engineers possession at the 1, and sophomore
fullback John Tamburo of Baldwin, NY, rammed his way
across. Scott's conversion made
it 7-0 with 4:53 left in the period.
The Engineers then battled
through the second and third
quarters without making a single first down. It was three
plays and punt, with the defense
struggling to keep things in
hand while grudgingly giving up
two field goals and a touchdown,
before Lehigh squirmed out of
trouble on a 14-yard pass from
Horn to fullback Doug Ertz of

Weekly Award-Winners
Tailback Peter Schreck of
West Lawn, PA, defensive
tackle Kevin Zlock of Newtown,
PA, and punter Mike O'Hagan
of Hawthorne, NJ, won coaching staff weekly awards for
their play against Army.
The coaching staff reviews
films of each game and makes
the selections after an evaluation of individual performances.
Schreck received the offensive award after a game in
which he carried the ball 23
times for 85 yards, caught five
passes for 31 yards, returned
four punts 25 yards and four
kickoffs 59 yards.
Zlock was No. 1 defensively
with 10 tackles, four of them
unassisted, and a game-ending
stop of Army quarterback Bill
Turner as he vainly tried to
locate a target for one last pitch-
and-pray pass.
O'Hagan punted 12 times as
the Engineers kept the Cadets in
poor field position through
much of the game, his longest
good for 53 yards. He kicked
three times to midfield during a
third quarter in which the Engineers were stopped deep in their
own territory, and in the fourth
period had kicks out of bounds
at the Army 5 and 19.
He also recovered a fumble to
halt the Cadets, caused a fumble with a hard hit, and was
named special teams award
winner.
