PETE SHAHEEN The Morning Call down by Bucknell's Matt Mayock and Andy Henry after a pass first down at the Bucknell 30 that helped the leopards break away from a 7-7 deadlock five minutes into the third quarter. Ng wound up with six catches for 86 yards and Caldwell, in addition to catching four for 71 yards, scored from 11 yards out on a flanker-around run to put Lafayette ahead 35-14 with 11:10 left. "There's no question," Russo said.

"The offensive strength of our football team lies in the passing of Frank Baur and the play of our receiving corps. Frank started slowly, but once he calmed down a little, he played with confidence. And the receivers did a great job, not only simply catching the football but concentrating on the ball in traffic." One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the final score does anything but accurately reflect the Leopards first-half performance. Because their ground game continued to sputter and because Baur threw two interceptions they managed to fritter away four excellent scoring opportunities in the first half alone. In a word, through most of the first 30 minutes of play, they stunk.

More than a few of the old grads, especially those who may have watched Lafayette self Ae- when Steve Barimo's 35-yard field goal attempt was wide right The Leopards' defense, meanwhile, played exceptionally welL There were several stars, but Davis, a 6-1, 222-pound linebacker, easily shined brightest Davis intercepted a school record-tying three passes, returning one theft 49 yards for a touchdown to send Lafayette to a 28-7 lead with 3:57 left in the third quarter. It was the third interception return for a score in his career. In addition, he was credited with seven tackles five unassisted and broke up another pass. "Horace had an absolutely fabulous game," Russo enthused, "against both the pass and the run. He was in another dimension today." Davis agreed it was probably the best football game he's ever played.

"I think so," he said. "It definitely ranks right up there." Although he played offensive guard and linebacker in high school as welL he smilingly revealed that his three TDs via interception for Lafayette are not his first "I returned one interception for a touchdown in high school, he said. "Plus, I scored another on a trick play we had, a 'guard The quarterback simply handed the ball off to me as I pulled and I took it 60 yards for a score." Someone jokingly suggested that, with six games left and at three interceptions a game, he had enough time to overtake strong safety Joseph's career mark of 18. "Naw," Davis laughed. "I won't be catching Joseph.

He's there to stay." Which brings us to the bad news: Lafayette's ground game was once again almost nonexistent. The Leopards netted only 107 yards on 36 rushing attempts, a figure Russo said spoke for itself. open Curtis on a screen pass for a six-yard gain and the Engineers' only score of the game with 7:25 left in the third period. Beattie's placement gave Lehigh what proved to be the winning point. By no means did the big defensive plays stop after Bronico set up the go-ahead score.

The Brown and White defense came up big again a few minutes later when Banko snagged a fumble recovery to stop a Red Raider drive at the LU 31. Another fumble recovery, this one by Engineer cornerback Terry Williams, gave the Lehigh offense another golden opportunity at the Red Raider 42 early in the fourth quarter. But again, the Brown and White failed to capitalize. And, yet one more time, the defense set up the offense when Banko picked off a Colgate pass at the Red Raider 45. A spinning, twisting run by Blum (23 carries for 56 yards on the day) moved Lehigh to the Colgate 15, but McGowan was sacked for a nine-yard loss on the very next play and Beattie, who earlier was short on a 46-yard try, wound up missing a 41-yard field goal attempt with 6:25 left to play.

Colgate did eventually get the ball back with 38 seconds to go, but Clifton Hubbard picked off a last-ditch desperation attempt by the Red Raiders. irs, Lafayette's Phil Ng is brought completion. struct last week in Ithaca, were nervously checking their watches, giving serious consideration to an early departure. But, very early in the second quarter, a 55-yard Darryl Boich punt pinned the Bison at their own two-yard line. And, after Mike Joseph returned a punt to the Bucknell 36, Baur needed only four plays to finally break a dull scoreless tie that only existed because Bucknell's offense was even worse.

The final 17 yards came when Baur threw a strike to Ng at the eight and Ng shed an arm tackle by Robert Hawkins and almost literally backed into the end zone. Bucknell countered with its only venture into Lafayette territory of the half. Quarterback Jim Given, mostly on passes to gifted freshman wideout Mike Guerrini (7 catches for 108 yards), directed a 52-yard drive that expired with two seconds left STATISTICS First downs 15 14 Rushing yardage 4144 46-123 Passing yardage 133 95 Passes 17-40 8-25 Passes Intercepted by 3 2 Punts 3 2 Fumbles lost 1-0 5-4 Yards penalized 7-70 7-54 Lehigh 8 8 7 8-7 Colgate 8 8- a Gamble 2 run (kick failed).

We just didn't get the breaks. "The breaks started out going against us again today, but we just made them go our way." The bad breaks Rife talked about were the two big penalties one for a late hit; the other for "roughing the passer" that helped the Red Raiders go 69 yards on nine plays with Gamble, who had to work ex PRICE INCREASE PERFORMANCE shines as Lehigh nips Colgate 7-6 TED MEIXELL Of The Morning Call One could make three assertions without fear of contradiction in the wake of Lafayette's 42-21 Colonial League victory over Bucknell yesterday before a Fisher Field Homecoming Crowd of 10,700 that included former United States Treasury Secretary William E.

Simon. For one, it was a great day for Lafayette quarterbacks. All five of them. For another, linebacker Horace Davis had a career afternoon. For yet another, although Leopard coach Bill Russo was feeling iieaps rosier about life in general than he was after last week's torturous 17-12 loss at Cornell, he was nevertheless not ready to proclaim his club ready for the rugged five-game home stretch that awaits it following next week's scrimmage with hapless Davidson.

Let's consider these in the order mentioned. The five QBs alluded to are Frank Baur, Paul Struncius, Jim Johnson, Phillip Ng and Maurice Caldwell. We must hasten to admit that, with the exception of starter Baur and backup Struncius, the others are quarterbacks in the past tense only. This year, the trio of Johnson, Ng and Caldwell are the nucleus of the Leopards' deep and talented receiver corps. Although it took them a while, all five guys wound up with banner afternoons.

Baur cranked up a 21-for-27, career-high 279-yard performance. Included were three touchdown heaves one to Ng and two to Johnson. Struncius came on in the fourth period to complete five of eight passes for 45 yards and a 20-yard TD strike to Ng. Johnson, in addition to totalling five catches for 92 yards, took a flea flicker pitchback from Baur and completed a 16-yard toss to Ng for a Defense By KEITH GROLLER Of The Morning Call HAMILTON, N.Y. Since William Mary was able to score two late touchdowns last Saturday to send Lehigh to a 28-27 defeat, the Engineer defense might have felt it owed the offense something.

Well, yesterday afternoon, in a 7-6 Colonial League victory over Colgate, the defense's debt was definitely paid in full. The Brown and White defenders came up with seven turnovers, limited a high-powered Colgate offense to 218 total yards and set up the offense's only score as Lehigh disappointed a Parents' Day crowd of 6.200 in Andy Kerr Stadium. The win was Lehigh's first over Colgate in Hamilton since 1974 when Fred Dunlap, now the Colgate head coach, was pacing the Engineer sidelines. And, the six points scored by Colgate, coming on the heels of the seven they scored last week against Holy Cross, marked the lowest scoring total in back-to-back games by the Red Raiders since Dunlap over in Hamilton 11 years ago. Since the previous four Lehigh-Colgate games had an average of 68 points scored, both teams might have been expected to light up the scoreboard yesterday.

Both eventually succeeded (Kutztown 167 yards, ESU 166). However, Kutztown was able to compliment that strategy with its best passing game of the year and registered a 14-7 win in a game held at Albright College's Shirk Stadium (Kutztown's stadium is under renovation). KU quarterback Fred Seifert, a sophomore pressed into duty when Greg Buchman went down with a shoulder injury in the first game, was ll-for-15 for 185 yards and one TD as Kutztown broke asix-game non-winning streak to become 1-4 this year.

East Stroudsburg's passing attack was a dismal 6-for-20 with two interceptions and the Warriors dropped their fourth straight decision and fell to 1-4.

ES Donegal 9 run (McNamee kick). Sbede 58 pass from Seifert (Attardi kick). Trailing 7-0, ESU scored seven points on Elroy Denegal's 10-yard run and Todd McNamee 's kick.

But that was the only scoring that the KU defense would allowas Bear Mark Smakulski blocked McNamee's 37-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter. Seifert connected with Joe Svede (a sophomore transfer from Lehigh) for a spectacular 58-yard catch and run which produced the game-winning points with 6:56 remaining. Kutztown went ahead 7-0, the first time the Bears have led all season, with an impressive 72-yard scoring march on its first possession of the game. Using four different backs for a varied attack, Kutztown ate up seven minutes with 13 rushes and a 14-yard pass from Fred Seifert to Nick Scherr (13 carries, 44 yards). Scherr also gained 13 of the yards rushing, including a five-yard TD burst through the middle.

Other carriers on the series included Eric Werley (8 yards), Svede (15-for-48), and Kelvin Wiley (12-for-47). That drive set the tone for the rest of the half. The Golden Bears had 13 first downs in the fist half, outrushed ESU 127-12 in the first quarter, and were in position to score several times. However, two fumbles and a blocked field goal attempt kept East Stroudsburg close. The Warriors did not get a first down until the final five minutes of the half, and did not complete a pass until the final four minutes.

ESU threatened to tie the score before the half, but Kutztown free safety Jim Glatz intercepted a tipped ball at the KU 2 as time ran out. Glatz also intercepted a pass in the final minute to insure the victory. The Warriors inserted backup Tom Taylor after starting quarterback Ray Gentilella failed to move the ESU offense through 20 minutes of play. Kutztown kicker Mike Attardi had a 37-yard second-quarter field goal attempt blocked, pushed a third-quarter 43-yarder just left and also missed a 45-yarder in the fourth quarter.

Rory Crump was wide left on his extra point try, a costly mistake as it turned out Virtually, the rest of the afternoon belonged to the defenses.

The Lehigh came up with its first key play just before half time. Colgate had moved to the Lehigh 41 and Gamble appeared to have first-down yardage on a fourth-and-two carry. However, Gamble, considered to be the top Division I-AA pro prospect in the country, lost the ball when hit and Engineer linebacker Curtis fell on it to halt the drive. Perhaps the biggest defensive play came just after halftime. Small had inserted outside linebacker Bronico, a senior from Phillipsburg, into the game with the idea of getting a stronger pass rush and the former Stateliner came through.

He busted into the Red Raider backfield, sacked and stripped Colgate quarterback Gary Aurora of the ball. Bronico then pounced on it at the Red Raider 6. "I was just coming on the rush, and I was just going for the sack," recalled Bronico. "But when I came up with my arms, I hit the ball loose. It just so happened to fall right in front of me and I got on it." Just two plays later after Bronico's recovery, McGowan hit a wide- by special circumstances.

Colgate's lone touchdown drive was aided by two 15-yard (from Lehigh's point-of-view, controversial) penalties, while Jeff Bronico's fumble recovery led to the six-yard TD pass from Mark McGowan to fullback Rich Curtis that along with Mike Beattie's extra point, won the game for the Brown and White. "I'm definitely surprised by the low score," said Lehigh Coach Hank Small, whose team improved to 3-2 overall, 2-1 in the Colonial League. "I knew we'd have to fight bite and scratch for every yard we got offensively, but there were two outstanding defenses out there today. "It was a defensive contest from the first minute right through to the end. Ours was just better." Indeed, the LU defense, motivat- ed in part by the William Mary loss and by a prediction of "35-27 Colgate" in Friday's Morning Call, was simply outstanding throughout the chilly afternoon.

The main objectives were to keep Colgate tailback Kenny Gamble, the NCAA Division I-AA's all-time, all-purpose yardage leader from breaking the big play and to keep the Red Raiders' passing attack from getting deep. Buoyed by five Steve Banco punts downed inside the 'Gate 15, the defense reached its objectives and then some.
