Defense Sparkles As Engineers
Jolt Leopards Before 19,162
Opportunism was the name of
the game last Saturday as
Lehigh's offense, directed by
quarterback Marty Horn, took
full advantage of breaks
created by its defensive platoon
to dump visiting Lafayette
before 19,162 fans in Taylor Stadium, 22-14.
It was the 119th game of the
most-played rivalry in college
football and the Engineers
made it a stirring climax to a
memorable Centennial Season
which also included victories
over Army, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Bucknell,
Northeastern and East Stroudsburg.   Losses   came   against
Navy,   Colgate   and   New
Hampshire.
Lehigh left the field with an
8-and-3 record against a blockbuster schedule, taking the last
five games in a row and seven of
the last eight. Lafayette, with
an offense ranked very high
nationally in the 1-AA division,
had to settle for 6-and-5.
Horn   pulled   the   trigger
Basketball

7 p.m. opener. Their first
home game is Saturday,
Dec. 3, in Grace Hall
against Navy at 1 p.m.

Most Valuable Player by
members of the news
media covering the 1983
game.
against Lafayette but it was the
Engineer defense which loaded
the gun. All-American linebacker John Shigo of Bethlehem, PA, corner back Blair
Talmadge of Philadelphia, PA,
tackle Kevin Zlock of Newton,
PA, end Scott Theuerkauf of
Demarest, NJ, and nose guard
Wes Walton of Closter, NJ,
made the big plays which
doomed the Leopards.
Lehigh's first touchdown was
the result of a 9-play, 44-yard
drive in the opening quarter
with Horn, of Short Hills, NJ,
throwing the last 24 yards to
wingback Jim Davidson of
Selinsgrove, PA. Earlier in the
march he had passed to tight
end Jeff Hunt, of Nazareth, PA,
for nine yards and to favorite
receiver Rennie Benn, split end
from Short Hills, NJ, for 13.
This was an impressive drive,
although there were a few yards
lost on the ground, and the only
one not set up by the defensive
unit. And the "D" even can
claim some credit for this one
because two straight sacks by
Theuerkauf cost the Leopards
15 yards, pushed them back to
their 7-yard line, and forced a
punt which gave Lehigh the ball
in great field position for its
touchdown march.
Lehigh's later 16 points all
came with direct assists from
the defense. Toward the end of
the second period, with the
Engineers clinging to a 6-0
advantage, Shigo intercepted a
pass and returned the ball 22
yards to the Lafayette 6-yard
