Lehigh's football team
climbed above the .500 mark
last Saturday with a hard-
fought victory over Connecticut
before 12,000 Freshman Parents Day fans in Taylor Stadium, 13-7. It was the
Engineers' second straight triumph and the third against two
losses.
The Lehigh points came on a
16-yard touchdown pass from
quarterback Marty Horn to split
end Rennie Benn and the kicking of Jim Scott who contributed
an extra point and field goals of
21 and 32 yards.
Connecticut, riding the crest
of successive victories over
Yale and New Hampshire, and
ranked among the national 1-AA
leaders in team defense, battled
the Engineers from start to finish but couldn't preserve its
budding win streak.
Lehigh turned back the Huskies for the fifth straight time in
their short six-game series.
UConn won the opener in 1945.
Both defensive units kept
busy grabbing fumbles and/or
interceptions as each team was
guilty of five turnovers.
Although Horn wound up with
another day of creditable figures he had a slow start, being
intercepted four times in the
first half.
The Engineers broke a scoreless tie with 5:46 left in the
second quarter as Scott, from
Boonsboro, MD, kicked a 32-
yard field goal after the Engineers moved into position on

NCAA Champs Take Memorial Run
Reigning NCAA champion
Wisconsin took men's honors
and Oregon was first in the
women's division of the 10th
annual Paul Short Memorial
Run last Saturday at the Saucon
Fields.
The tournament had a
national flavor as teams from
all  over the country partici
pated as a tuneup for the NCAA
Div. I nationals which Lehigh
hosts on the same course Nov.
21.
Wisconsin was charged with
only 24 points while runnerup
Michigan had 98 and third-place
Georgetown 122. JohnEaskerof
Wisconsin took men's individual laurels finishing the 10,000
meter run in 29:32.1. Scott Jenkins of Wisconsin was second.
In the women's 5,000 meter
test Oregon had 55 points
against 85 for runnerup Florida
and 105 for Penn State. Kathy
Hayes of Oregon was the individual winner with a time of
16:41.0. Suzanne Girard, of
Georgetown, placed second.
passes from Horn to Benn plus a
12-yard toss to reserve fullback
John Tamburo of Baldwin, NY.
Lehigh kicked off, forced a
return punt, and suddenly
clicked on a touchdown drive
from midfield. Horn's 35-yard
throw to Benn set the stage for
his 16-yard scoring toss to the
same receiver who made a diving, circus catch in the end zone
with only 1:45 remaining in the
half.
Early in the third period a
fumble on a punt return gave
Connecticut an opportunity
from the Lehigh 12-yard line
and the Huskies took full advantage of the miscue. They moved
to the 1 on three plays and tailback Gary Dubose rammed his
way into the end zone. The conversion cut Lehigh's lead to 10-7
with 10:52 still to play in the
quarter.
Midway through the fourth
stanza, after a drive featuring
three Horn passes to tight end
