AWESOME, BABY! —Dick Vitale's preseason basketball magazine picks Lehigh as its favorite to win the Patriot League. Vitale, the ABC and ESPN college basketball analyst/junkie, also lists senior forward Bob Krizansky as his preseason Patriot League Player of the Year and Krizansky and Dozie Mbonu as members of the Patriot League all-conference team. The Sporting News, though tabbing Lehigh for second place, says that "with five starting seniors and an extremely strong frontcourt, coach Dave Duke's Engineers should be ready to explode." LAMBERT CUP UPDATE — Lehigh football, off to its best start since 1978, is ranked fourth in the most recent Lambert Cup I-AA poll, up two spots from the jrevious week.

Cornerback Manuel Torres intercepted Dartmouth quarterback Jay Fiedler's pass with just :59 remaining in the game Saturday and prevented a Dartmouth field goal attempt, sealing Lehigh's 30-28 win over the Big Green. "(Safety) Adam (Ciperski) and I were on the hashes; the quarterback was looking at the receiver all the way," Torres said of the\ play. "In the huddle we talked about just breaking it up, . but when I-saw it coming..." When he saw it coming, Torres stepped in front of intended receiver Mike Bobo and the celebration, in which 12,022 fans joined in, began. Lehigh is now 4-0 on the year, their best start since 1957. Only four Lehigh teams - 1907, 1919, 1950 and 1957 - have started 4-0. "There were no individuals out there," linebacker Lee Picariello, who had 19 tackles on the day, said. "It was all 11 guys, flat-out a team effort. We're focusing on being champions, so we go out with the attitude of getting the victory." Lehigh Coach Hank Small, as ebulent as one might find him, praised his players for the gutty victory. "There were some amazing performances by a lot of people who didn't practice with us this week," Small said. "(Offensive guard) Ken Joseph tore ligaments in his ankle Wednesday and he played the whole game. (Cornerback) Pete Sczerbinski didn't practice all week because of a neck injury and (tight end) Sean McCarthy has a bad back. The credit goes to all those kids because they played." Small and his team knew they were in for a gut check against the Ivy League co-defendipg champions. It was also a matchup of two schools ranked high in the latest Lambert Cup poll — Lehigh came in fourth; Dartmouth, eighth. Lehigh went ahead 30-28 with just three and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter. Senior Rich Clark took an 11- yard pass from quarterback Glenn Kempa and dove into the endzone, capping a 11 -play, 80-yard drive. On that drive, Kempa was five of eight for 64 yards, with two tailback Larry Arico rushes accounting for the other 13 yards. "I knew they were coming with the blitz," Kempa said of the game-winning touchdown. "When Rich is one on one, I'll take my chances throwing to him. I knew he'd get it." Clark may have turned in the most noteworthy performance of all the Engineers, as he played the entire game with fractures in each of his hands. "It was difficult at first," Clark said of the injuries. "I can't bend my wrists at all, but it hasn't really hampered me yet as far as catching the ball." Lehigh opened the game, played in front Kempa fumbled while being sacked and Dartmouth recovered on the Lehigh nine-yard line, setting up a Fielder-to-Rosier touchdown pass. Durkin's kick put the Big Green in the lead forthe first time all afternoon, 28-24. That set up Lehigh's final drive. Dartmouth's option offense gave Lehigh fits all day, but Picariello said Lehigh made the plays when it had to. "They had a lot of run movement and they broke it some times but nothing big," Picariello said. "Our defense is one that bends but doesn't break, and today we sure as hell didn't break." Lehigh quarterback Glenn Kempa, flanked by linemen Ken Joseph (70) and Calvin Hobbs (66), looks to hand off during the Engineers' 30-28 win over Dartmouth Saturday. -Photo by Joe Ryan of the third-largest Goodman crowd ever, with Kempa connecting with Horace Hamm on a 54-yard play-action pass. Dartmouth's Greg Hoffmeister countered with an 11-yard scamper down the right sideline to even the score at seven, but Lehigh's Larry Arico countered with time running out in the first quarter with the Engineers' first rushing score of 1991. 2:35 into the second quarter, Fielder found Mike Bobo open for Dartmouth's second touchdown of the day, but Lehigh blocked Dennis Durkin's extra point and Lehigh remained on top 14-13. Lehigh then capitalized on that momentum, driving the length of the field in a perfectly executed two-minute drill, capped by Kempa's screen pass to Arico, which he took in from 14 yards out, and Lehigh led 21-13 at the half. Dartmouth came back in the third quarter with a 10-play, 80-yard drive capped by back Al Rosier's 2-yard touchdown run. Lehigh placekicker Erik Bird then drilled home a 47-yard field goal, the longest of his career, to put Lehigh up 24-21 with three minutes left in the quarter.
