Penn 11 Outlasts Engineers
ROD GARDNER, freshman tailback who sparkled for Lehigh against Penn, rips off a few of the 84
yards he accumulated in 19 carries. He scored both of the Engineer touchdowns. At left is split end
Norm Liedtke. Quakers rallied to win, 27-20.
Frosh Win Lehigh Star 7th
Third, 2014      Qn All-Time List
Twenty is a lucky number for
Lehigh's freshman football team.
Friday the Little Engineers
made East Stroudsburg their
third victim in three starts, 20-14,
on the losers' field.
Earlier in the campaign they
turned back Rutgers and Gettysburg by identical 20-10 results.
Once again tailback Kenny
Schmidt, of Stamford, Conn., was
the big gun for the winners.
The 5-10, 180-pound freshman
tore off 161 yards in 26 carries. He
scored on runs of one and 67
yards, and on a 55-yard dash
after taking a screen pass.
This was the third game in
which Schmidt has rushed for
more than 100 yards.
Lehigh defenders intercepted
five passes and recovered two
East Stroudsburg fumbles.
The score by quarters:
Lehigh  12   8   0   0—20
ESSC 6   0   0   8—14

Basketball
Lehigh's basketball
squad makes its 1973-74
debut Monday, Nov. 19,
during an intra-squad
game in Grace Hall at 7:30
p.m.
Kim McQuilken, Lehigh football star, has climbed to seventh place
among the college division's all-time passing greats as listed in the
Modern Record Book published by the National Collegiate Sports
Services, New York City.
Rankings are based upon the number of completions during a
player's college career. McQuilken has completed 42 in the last two
weeks, 19 against Bucknell and 23 against Pennsylvania.

McQuilken, Lehigh Top
Nation's Passing Stats
Lehigh's passing attack,
powered by quarterback Kim
McQuilken and receivers Bill
Schlegel, Bobby Handschue and
Norm Liedtke, ranked first in the
nation last week among college
division football teams.
The Engineers were averaging
249.8 yards per game against a
figure of 227.4 registered by Boise
State in Idaho.
Friday night's 256 aerial yards
against Pennsylvania boosted the
Engineer average to 250.7 and
virtually assured Lehigh of
holding the No. 1 berth.
McQuilken went into the Penn
contest leading the CD statistics
in completions, attempts, yards
and touchdowns. Schlegel ranked
fifth among the receivers with 5.8
catches per game.
Sine Medalist
Kutztown State College
finished first in the annual Lehigh
University Intercollegiate Invitational golf tournament at
Bethlehem Municipal, with a
five-man team totaling 756.
Tom Sine, of Lehigh's "A"
team, took medalist laurels with
74-72—146.
Quakers Gain 27-20 Nod
With Late Scoring Pass;
LU Touchdown Nullified
Pennsylvania, which always
seems to find a way to finish on
the long end of the score in its
football series against Lehigh,
did it again Friday night on the
passing and running of quarterback Marty Vaughn, a 6-1,175-
pound junior.
Vaughn threw three touchdown
passes and scored on a 33-yard
run as the Quakers fought off the
Engineers, 27-20, before 15,524
spectators at Franklin Field in
Philadelphia.
His third scoring pass, a 6-yard
flip to end Don Clune, shattered a
20-20 tie with only 40 seconds
remaining in the contest. It was a
heartbreaking setback for Lehigh
which held leads of 10-7 at half-
time and 17-14 late in the third
quarter.
Vaughn led an explosive
Quaker offense which subdued
the Engineers with a series of
big-gainers through the air. He
completed 13 of 21 throws, three
of them for TDs, which accounted
for 245 yards.
Lehigh quarterback Kim
McQuilken had another big game
against the Quakers but to no
avail. He completed 23 of 38
passes, for 256 yards, had two
dropped in the end zone and a

Dunlap
Fred Dunlap, Lehigh
head coach, isn't ready to
accept the 27-20 loss at
Penn without a protest
regarding  the  officiating.
"There were glaring
infractions on Penn's first
and fourth touchdown
passes," he claims, "that
should have nullified both
of the plays. Neither was
seen. . .or at least called.
"On the first a tackle was
5 yards downfield, illegal
on a pass play.
"On the fourth receiver
Don Clune ran through the
end zone, out the other side,
and came back in to make
his winning catch.
"There were other
things, too, but those are
the two that hurt the most.
"Game films show the
infractions clearly on the
touchdown plays."
touchdown plunge nullified by a
penalty.
Defensive platoons, which
stood up well for two periods,
took their lumps after the intermission. Lehigh piled up 26
first downs and netted 436 yards.
Penn had 17 first downs and 448
yards. That's almost 1,000 yards
of offense.
Penn opened the scoring on the
first play after recovering a
fumbled punt on the Lehigh 27.
Vaughn dropped the ball fading
to pass, recovered it and lobbed a
throw to wingback Bob Bucola
standing on the goal line. He
barely   managed   to   stay   in
