QUARTERBACK MARTY HORN (left) shattered Kim McQuilken's Lehigh record for
career touchdown passes last week, throwing three to give him a total of 39. The recipient of
those three TD's, split end Rennie Benn (right), ranks second in the nation in Division I-AA
with 10 six-point catches this season. Benn needs just 16 receptions to tie Bill Schlegel's
Lehigh record of 136 career catches.

The Varsity
Led by sophomores John Mar-
ian (Niagara-on-the-Lake,
Ont.) and Ed Kehoe (Mahopac,
N.Y.), the men's cross country
team took a 10th place finish at
the 11th annual Paul Short
Memorial Run at the Goodman
Campus. Marian finished No. 8
(30:56.7) and Kehoe No. 25
(31:44.4) in the men's 10-
kilometer collegiate event, a
category which attracted many
of the East's top squads. The
women's team, in its first varsity season, was led by senior
co-captains Linda Head (Madison, N.J.) and Beth Edwards
(Bethel Park, Pa.). Although
the women finished well down in
their five-kilometer varsity
race, they have shown marked
improvement since their first
meet, according to Head Coach
Nancy Hobbs.

Sports Week
Senior soccer co-captain Jeff
Remley (Fleetwood, Pa.) and
junior Jeff Armor (Pittsburgh,
Pa.) had the Lehigh goals in a
2-2 tie with East Coast Conference rival Drexel. The team is
now 1-5-3, following a 4-0 loss
earlier in the week to Rutgers.
The women's tennis team,
with just one match remaining
before the ECC championships
at Bucknell, have a record of 9-
1, following a 6-3 victory at Colgate. Sophomore Beth Dale
(Phoenix, Md.) has a dual-
match mark of 9-1 at No. 1 singles, while junior Kris Yuracko
(Scarsdale, N.Y.) is 8-2 at No. 2.
Dale and Yuracko are a perfect
9-0 as Lehigh's No. 1 doubles
team. Junior Gail Brennan
(Springfield, Mass.) is 7-3 at No.

Two Fourth Quarter TD's
Boost Engineers, 25-14
After the Engineers sputtered
through a third quarter which
saw Northeastern control the
ball for 11 minutes and take its
first lead, junior quarterback
Marty Horn (Short Hills, N.J.)
fired up the Space Shuttle, completing 11 of 12 fourth-quarter
passes to drive Lehigh to two
touchdowns and a 25-14 win over
the Huskies. Lehigh's fourth
win in four games against Northeastern came before 4,530 on a
perfectly golden afternoon at
Nil's Parsons Field.
Shuttle co-pilot, junior split
end Rennie Benn (Short Hills,
N.J.), caught 10 passes, five in
the final stanza, including the
two touchdowns. Benn had his
best day of the campaign, gaining 158 yards and, for the second
week in a row, scoring three
times.
Lehigh dominated play in the
first half to the tune of 17 first
downs to just two for Northeastern. The Engineers ran twice as
many plays, 54-25, and out-
gained the Hounds by 216-73.
But as the Blue Hens learned the
previous week, domination of
the statistics does not necessarily a victory insure. The Engineers led at the midpoint by just
13-7.
Lehigh opened the scoring on
its second possession, with junior tailback Peter Schreck
(West Lawn, Pa.) pounding
over from the four to complete
one of the Engineers' best sustained drives of the campaign, a
15-play,   86-yard   march.
Schreck carried six times for 21
yards, including key first downs
on third-and-three at the Lehigh
27 and third-and-one at NU's 14.
Horn was 6-for-6 passing, hitting Schreck and senior wingback Eric Hunsberger (Sch-
wenksville, Pa.) twice each,
and Benn and senior fullback
Doug Ertz (West Lawn, Pa.)
once.
The count went to 13-0 on the
next Engineer possession, as
Horn found Benn for a 9-yard
touchdown with 12:25 left in the
half. Passes to Benn of 27 and 14
yards converted crucial third-
and-long situations to keep alive
the 14-play, 67-yard march. The
touchdown pass was the 37th of
Horn's career, tying him with
Kim McQuilken '74 as Lehigh's
all-time leader in that category.
Northeastern   owed  its
defense a debt for sending the
Huskies into the locker room
with their heads up, just six
points down, instead of 13 down
and feeling out of it. With the
ball at the Lehigh 26 and freshman Steve Banco (West Lawn,
Pa.) set to punt at the 11, NU's
Lonnie Hooker blazed in from
the right to block the kick, and
Roy McClain gobbled up the ball
and ran it into the end zone. The
NU defense gave up 216 yards to
the Engineers in the first half;
but it also gained nearly as
much on the punt block as the
Husky offense did in the half.
The   game's   momentum
shifted dramatically with the
