Lehigh's football forces wiped
out Bucknell last Saturday, 40-
15, scoring three touchdowns in
a period of less than seven minutes during the first quarter. It
was their fifth consecutive victory over the Bisons in a series
dating back to 1888.
Bucknell, which still leads the
Engineers 23-22, with two ties,
got on the board first before a
Homecoming Day turnout of
6,500 but Lehigh countered with
touchdowns on its first three
possessions and coasted the rest
of the way.
The first came at 7:40 of the
quarter as quarterback Marty
Horn and split end Rennie Benn,
the former Millburn, NJ, High
School teammates from Short
Hills, NJ, teamed up on a 72-
yard scoring pass-run maneuver. Benn took the ball away
from a defender at the Bucknell
40, stumbled a couple of times
breaking free, and again near
the goal line, but managed to get
into the end zone.
Lehigh kicked off, forced a
return punt, and took over at
midfield. The Engineers
worked their way to the Bison 22
where Horn threw 10 yards to
tailback Peter Schreck, of West
Lawn, PA, and then ran the left
side for 11 more to the 1. Fullback John Tamburo, of Bald-
LEHIGH'S title-winning women's tennis team which took East
Coast Conference fall honors for the second straight year. Front,
from left—Margot Garant, Kirsten Yuracko, Gail Brennan and
Lisa Mazaleski. Standing, from left—Assistant coach Helen Zajac,
Donna Armenio, Denise Durando and head coach Karen Adams.

win, NY, plunged over the goal
line at the 12:42 mark and Jim
Scott, of Boonsboro, MD, converted for the second time for a
14-7 lead.
On Bucknell's first play following the ensuing kickoff
tackle Wayne Kasbar, of Summit, NJ, intercepted a deflected
forward pass giving Lehigh possession at the Bucknell 47. Horn
fired to Benn for 35 yards and to
Schreck for nine, fullback Doug
Ertz of West Lawn, PA, picked
up a couple and Tamburo again
plowed the final yard. Scott converted and it was 21-7 at the
14:19 mark.
Late in the second quarter,
after Bucknell had driven from
its own 35 to the Lehigh 8 only to
be halted, the teams exchanged
punts and interceptions with the
Engineers—after a grab by linebacker Ross Santangelo of Hershey, PA—taking over at the
Bucknell 34. They drove to the 9
where Horn's pass to Benn was
taken in the end zone for another
TD. The conversion attempt
failed after a center snap was
mishandled but Lehigh had a 27-
7 margin going into the locker
room at halftime.
The cushion jumped to 33-7 at
8:17 of the third period on a 21-
yard throw from Horn to Benn
right after the Engineers had
recovered a Bucknell fumble.
Scott's conversion try was off
target following this score.
Tony Semler replaced Horn
during the fourth period and
directed an impressive 68-yard
scoring march, passing 14yards
to wingback Eric Hunsberger of
Schwenksville, PA, 20 yards to
wingback Jim Davidson of
Selinsgrove, PA, and the final
five yards to tight end Jeff Hunt
of Nazareth, PA, deep in the end
zone. Semler also reeled off a
19-yard run during this surge.
Freshman tailback Joe
Svede, of Mt. Bethel, PA, got his
first varsity chance in the third
period and made the most of it.
The 6-foot, 195-pound youngster,
who starred for the JV team this
fall, emerged as Lehigh's rushing leader with nine carries for
35 yards.
Horn had a great first half,
completing eight of 11 aerials
for 163 yards and two touchdowns with one interception,
but he cooled off after the intermission and ultimately gave
way to Semler who completed
