The Engineers, who always have trouble on the Gettysburg gridiron, scored on a five yard pass with 6:53 left in the game to tie the score. Joe Posillico booted the game-winning extra point to give Lehigh a 15-9 series edge.

The Engineers were aided by the new NCAA rule widening goalposts when Posillico's kick veered to the left and would have been too wide under the old distance. -83-Yard March Bob Scheu's five-yard toss to Al Richmond on the goal line climaxed an 83-yard push by the Engineers that -consumed much of the final period. A 33-yard pass from Charlie Lull to Bill Jones and 15 yard penalty against Gettysburg were the chief Dlavs of the drive. The pass from Lull, after a nitchout from Schue. was the sec- ond play of the drive.

The penal- ty gave Lehigh a first-and-10 on the Bullets 27 after Lehigh had apparently lost the ball on a punt. From the 27, alternate fullback Charlie Wentz went to the 19. Richmond to the 10 and Wentz and Al Kovach to the 5, before the TD pass. Two Breaks Gettysburg took advantage of two breaks in the first 11 minutes of the game to take a 14-0 lead. With Scheu back to pass at his own 45, a host of Bullet tacklers jarred the ball into the air and junior guard Frank Temme picked out of the sky and dashed 38 yards for a 6-0 lead with only 2:50 gone.

On the following kickoff Lull returned the ball from the Engineers 6 to the 24 where he fumbled and Lance Butler "recovered for the Bullets. But Lehigh held on downs and after an exchange of punts Horace Goodman pulled in a punt on his own 41 for Gettysburg and raced 10 yards before lateralhng to Earl Little, who carried to the Engineers' 33. Pass Clicks After moving to the 26 on three plavs. a pass to Goodman from Little clicked and moved the ball to the one-foot line. Sophomore fullback Terry Look er bucked over and center Tom O'Malley boosted his second extra point for a 14-0 lead.

With eight minutes left in the second period the Engineers, who tied the Bullets 14-14 last year, got their first break. Lull intercepted an Edgar Books pass on the Bullets 44 and returned it to the 32 to start Coach Bill Leckonby's crew moving. Wentz picked up five and after Continued on Page 38, Column 7 ENGINEER TD Lehigh halfback Charley Lull charges through Gettysburg line for short gain as Bullets' Horace Goodman fails to hold Lull's legs. JP Army, 17-11 Upends omps Delaware Bombards Leopards STATISTICS 22 329 74 3-10 1 First downs 7 Yards rushing 164 Yards passing 19 Passes completed 2-7 Passes intercepted by 1 Fumhles lost 3 1 Punts 5-39 Yards penalized 0 15 By BERNIE STEBER Delaware's vaunted ground attack paralleled its stingy defensive game yesterday afternoon as the Lambert Cup minded Blue Hens rolled to a 26-8 victory over Lafayette before close to 9,000 persons at Fisher Field. Seniors John Bowman and Tony Suravitch time and time again rolled through gaping holes opened by the hefty line.

Bowman scored the first two Hen touchdowns, going four and 17 yards. Quarterback Gampy Pellegrini sneaked over from the one and junior halfback Dave Beinner scored from the eight for the other touchdowns. Pellegrini many times baffled the Leopards with his deception on roll outs. Nikles Out The Leopards, almost motionless at times, missed their great fullback Don Nikles, a senior from Nazareth. The injured Nikles was in uniform and watched from the sidelines as the Lafayette attack was stopped at almost every turn by the Blue Hens.

Except for two moments an 81-yard touchdown on a kickoff return in the final minute by George Bendere and a 54-yard keeper play by Merle Bainbridge the Leopard backs were contained by the hard hitting Hen line. Anxiety probably hurt the Leopards as much as the 218-pound average Hen line. Fumbles and errors of omission didn't help. Coach Dave Nelson had his brood moving from the outset and the Hens, unbeaten in three straight games, scored in each period. Delaware took the opening kickoff and it appeared as if the Hens would score within minutes as they moved to the Lafayette five.

However, a holding penalty put them back to the 21 where the Leopards held on downs. The respite was short lived, as minutes later, the Hens marched 84 yards in 13 plays. Sophomore quarterback Barry Fetterman, an alumnus of Upper Perkiomen, in relief of Pellegrini, threw a third down pass in front of the Hen bench on which Bob Reeder made a diving catch. With the 27 yard pass play leading the way, Suravitch and Halfback Jack Turner alternated to the four. Bowman drove through with 1:04 remaining in the first period.

Junior halfback Charlie Bartos, standout of last week's game with Muhlenberg, brought the crowd to its feet with a superb runback of Dick Broadbent's kickoff. Bartos took the ball over his shoulder in the end zone and raced straight up the middle to the Leopard 47 where he was brought down on an open field tackle. Two plays later the Hens had the ball as Turn er intercepted a Don Westmaas pass at midfield. He lateraled to Dave Beinner who carried to the Leopard 41 at the quarter. Hens Fumble The Hen attack faded momen tarily as they fumbled on the 24.

The Leopards returned the favor when Bartos lost the ball at the 28. In four plays Delaware had its second touchdown when Bow man went the remaining 17 yards. The Leopards drove to within the Hen 40-yard line at mid-quarter, but the Delaware line again forced the Leopards to punt. Both teams stayed near midfield as the half ended. A Lafayette fourth-down gamble with inches to go on their own 35 led to Delaware's third Once again the trio of Suravitch, Bowman and Turner carried to the one.

Pelligrini smashed twice at the line before he went over at 8:52. Turner cut off tackle to make it 20-0. After John Contarino returned the kickoff to the Leopard 34, Continued on Page 38, Column 5 Coplay lightning swiftness on a 75-yard scoring pass to scatter the plumage in all directions and hand the Owls their 15th straight defeat, 14-13. Temple, which hasn't won a game since a 13-12 victory over Lafayette in 1957, had taken a 13-6 lead with just six minutes left when passing ace Chickie Downham hit Marv Slomsky in the end zone from nine yards out. The try for point failed when Downham fumbled the pass from center and Walt Chyzowych, a convert from the soccer team, was forced to try and run it over.

He was smothered by the onrushing Mules. While the partisan crowd of roared its approval in expectation of a victory, the Mules were mapping their aerial strategy. Herb Owens, a thorn in the Owls' side in each of his two previous appearances against them, returned the kickoff to his 25. On the next play sophomore quarterback Rollie Houseknecht went back to pass. He found Owens at the Temple 45 near the left sideline.

Not an Owl defender was near the fleet haflback as he gathered in the pass. He went down the sideline and in for the touchdown. 'Shoot the Works' Still on the short end of a 13-12 score, Coach Ray Whispell's Cardinal and Gray decided to shoot the works. Houseknecht went back to pass, danced away from sever al would-be tacklers and hit Merle Wolfe in the end zone with a bullet pass. Wolfe held on and the Mules had their second win in three starts.

Temple mustered another threat after the kickoff, marching from its 37 to the Mules' 26 on the running of Charlie Lotson and Downham's passing. But a field goal try from that point on fourth down went awry when Downham mishandled the snap from center and again Chyzowych had to try and run. He was hit at the 36 and Muhlenberg ran out the clock. Downham tried his best to pro vide the Owls with a victory. He tossed 28 passes and completed 19 for 195 yards and both of Tem ple's touchdowns.

In three games he has completed a phenomenal 40 of 60 a .667 percentage. Muhlenberg missed an oppor tunity in the opening minute whea Ed Callahan fell on an Owl fumble at the 13 on the first play from scrimmage. After three plays picked up just three yards, Ralph Borneman tried a field goal but the ball sailed off to the left. Later a 62-yard punt by Borne man put Temple back to its 12. The Owls failed to move and kicked out to their 46.

In two plays Muhlenberg held a 6-0 lead. Kuntzleman Breaks Loose Houseknecht passed to Bob Pearsons for a first down on the 32. Sophomore fullback Charley Kuntzleman of Northampton then broke through a hole on the right side, increased his speed and went in standing up. A pass for the two-point conversion failed. The Owls came right back to take the lead.

Starting from their 19 the Owls covered the remaining 81 yards in just seven plays. During this stretch Downham completed five passes for 78 yards, including a 21-yard pitch Continued on Page 38, Column 8 Longhorns Outgamble Oklahoma DALLAS, Tex.

Penalty Climax The penalizing reached a ell max near the end of the half, Penn State was given the ball on the Army 4 on pass interference by Blanda after a 33-yard toss that wasn't close to the target. On the same play Penn State was set back to the 19 for illegal substitution. On the next play Mike Casp of Army intercepted a deflected pass by Lucas and ran 71 yards for what seemed to be a touchdown but the play was called back for Army offside.
