Continued on Page D-7, Col. 1 In 14-12 Thriller the Wilkes team was practically unstoppable. The Colonels collected 28 first downs to 'Berg's nine and smashed through the Mule defenses for 410 yards rushing as against only 5 net for the locals. It used passes only sparingly because there was little need of going to the air. It was Muhlenberg's Homecoming Day and hundreds of old grads assembled at the game.

The crowd numbered somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,500. The defeat was Muhlenberg's fourth out of five this season. For Wilkes, the record now stands at 4-1. While a badly beaten crew, the Mules executed the most sensational play of the game, a 61-yard touchdown pass from Ron Henry to Dave Yoder. It happened in the fourth period after Wilkes had piled up a 34-0 lead.

It at least prevented a shutout and inspired the Mules to score again before the game ended. However, nothing the book could saved 'Berg from a sound defeat. Wilkes was just strong. In the entire, first half, Muhlenberg had chance to engage in only 16 plays from scrimmage. scored from the opening kickoff by driving for 61 yards, with Lowery toting the ball over from the 4 and Purta kicking the extra point.

After three futile plays, 'Berg punted to the Wilkes 20 and the Colonels promptly marched again in sequence of first downs for 80 yards, Beatty going across from 2 and Purta again kicking the point. The next TD came in the second period on a 66-yard ramble, Lowery scoring from the one and Purta converting. Just before the half ended, Purta booted a 31-yard field goal, which made the count 24-0 at intermission. Wilkes, in added the another third quarter touchafter intercepting one of HenTry's marching passes the on 61 its 39 and then tally. Purta's kick again was necessary to good.

The score mounted to 34-0 in the fourth period when Purta toed a 37-yard field goal between the uprights. The Mules then took over the scoring after taking a Wilkes punt on their 17 and advancing to their 39. Then Henry hit Yod- Continued on Page D-2, Col. 8 Walkie-Talkies Backfire For Coaches DETROIT (AP) At least three Detroit area high school football coaches are slightly -all because they got their wires crossed. The rival coaches the Detroit Henry Ford game Friday found themselves talking to each other when they attempted to use their walkie-talkies radios to talk to scouts in the The radioes were on the same frequency.

And at the suburban Dearborn Fordson-Gross Pointe game, the Fordson coach listened with horror as his team's transmissions came out over the public address system. They were quickly stilled. Easton Upset By Bethlehem STATISTICS First downs 10 Rushing yardage 123 95 Passing yardage 39 Passes 4-6 0-7 Passes intercepted by Punts 5-36 Fumbles lost Yards penalized 35 65 By JACK GRAY Pat Garramone, Bethlehem High School football caoch dicted Thursday night: "We're going to take Easton." That's just what his underrated Hurricane squad did night to the tune of 14-12, before 7,500 fans in Cottingham Stadium. Not many Bethlehem fans gave Garramone's gang a chance against the Rovers because for the last seven years the Hurricane has been on the short end of the stick. But not last night.

The Hurricane squad even won the hearts of the Easton fans as it battled back in the second half and clawed itself to victory.

Glen Ray was back after a week's idleness and the mighty mite quarterback was simply superb in guiding the Warriors attack.

They threatened three times in the first two periods after reeling off a quick touchdown at the game's start. An East Stroudsburg punt which touched a Mansfield player accidently was recovered by the Warriors with only four minutes gone in the game on the 40. Five plays later Palmerton's Steve Kun smashed in from the one.

Later the Warriors paraded 47 yards after a quick kick by Mansfield but ran out of downs on the Mountaineers' one. Early in the second quarter, ESSC pushed through to the Mansfield 18 where Jim Scagliotti tempted a field goal which was wide. Harrisburg Team Uncorks Long Plays Central Catholic Defeated, 19-0 STATISTICS BM CC First downs 5 Rushing yardage 221 67 Passing yardage 65 153 Passes 8-30 Punts 5-25 4-32 Passes intercepted by Fumbles lost Yards penalized 5 0 By GEORGE GEIGER Central Catholic, pounding continuously at the goal line, nevertheless fell before Bishop McDevitt, 19-0, yesterday. The Vikings were in the Crusaders' territory and in there deep all afternoon but fell to their second loss as the Harrisburg crew scored on three long plays. Coach George Kinek's Vikes just didn't have the right play at the right time as the crowd about 1,600 at ASD Stadium sat in dismay when McDevitt's Phil Forjan tore off two long dashes and passed for a third touchdown.

McDevitt played with its back to the wall throughout most of the game as the Vikings would move deep on a long pass and then stall. The Crusaders, now 4-2-1, took over on downs on their own 10 and 8 in the first half and at the 11 and 26 in the second half. The Harrisburgers also intercepted passes at their own 5, 20 and in the end zone. The loss, Central Catholic's second, against five wins overall, was the Vikes first after three wins in the Eastern Catholic Football Conference. McDevitt is now 2-0.

Central Catholic quarterback Mike McGorry, who looked tremendous at some spots and just "ordinary" in others, completed only 8 cf 30 aerials. But his 49-yard to Fran Olejack moved the ball to the 12 in the fourth period and a 33-yard to Pete Bucho to the 26 late in the game. hit John Sass with, a 29-yarder that moved the ball to the 6 in the second period. But each time the Crusaders held. Coach Tony Cernugel's Crusaders were stopped cold by the Vike defense except for Forjan, who took off on a 50-yard gallop in the opening and again on a 78-yard end run in the third quarter.

Takes Pitchout Then with only 1:28 left in the game, tailback Forjan took a pitchout from quarterback Art Smith and hit halfback Gene Sladinski with a 59-yard scoring pass. Forjan carried only eight times but picked up 152 yards. His pass to Sladinski was the only one he threw all afternoon. He also had a 22-yard runback on an interception early in the final quarter. The Vikes were stopped at the 10 early in the second period after the 29-yard pass to Sass.

Then a loss of four yards by McGorry and three imcompletions hurt. Later in the same period, Vikes tock over on the Crusaders' 40 after a poor punt got the 18 before Glenn Lockett intercepted at the 5. And with only 30 seconds left in the first half the Vikes got to the 8, only to have two passes fall incomplete. In the third period an interception by Tom Shepes stopped a drive at the 20 and in the final quarter Lockett picked off another Viking pass in the end zone to halt a drive. Lockett's interception shortly after Mc-60 Devitt had held on downs at the 11 and then lost the ball on a fumble on the second play.

Up until this. point, Mansfield had handled the ball for only seven plays. They finally started upfield and managed to pick up 37 yards for their only rushing gain in the half. Mansfield never scored until the last quarter when Bob Leavens, a 160 lb.

senior from Shamokin ripped off a 45 yard touchdown run following recovery of Leo Reimer's fumble. East Stroudsburg three bobbles but made lost, difference with five pass interceptions, three by Pete Lee. The Delhaas sophomore made his first steal with 8:34 left in the third quarter and ESSC moved yards in seven plays to score with Reimer going 48 yards a double reverse for the tally. The ex Bangor High ace struck a second time in the fourth period on a 29 yard weave with 6:20 left in the game. The Warriors marched 80 yards in plays with Ray running to set the seven, stage for the score.

Scagliotti split the uprights for the PAT. Ray who had passed 33 yards to Bruce Derr in a first quarter bid that fizzled, pitched four yards to Lansford's Mike Karnish for the final touchdown of the game. It came with 45 seconds to play after a 56 march highlighted by a 23-yard sweep by Reimer. Actually, Ray was on the run with no intended receiver when he spotted the Pitt transfer in Continued on Page D-2, Col. 1 First downs 15 Rushing yardage 184 82 Passing yardage 164 187 Passes 16-36 6-17 Passes intercepted by Punts 8-36 7-45 Fumbles lost 2 Yards penalized 50 By PAUL MAY It was a stubborn Lafayette that overcame a series of bad breaks yesterday to defeat highly favored Bucknell, 14-13, at Fisher Field, Easton.

The win, before an appreciative 7,000 Founders' Day crowd, duplicated the upset of 1963 when the Leopards defeated a favored Bison squad by the same score. And it was the first win at Fisher Field for the Leopards since that memorable 1963 day. It was two 78-yard passing plays Gary Marshall to halfback Bill Vonroth, and Marshall to end Gabe Washo that accounted for the Lafayette TDs. The two touchdowns were the longest scoring plays for the Leopards since John Contanino ran 85 yards against Muhlenberg in 1961. The victory margin, however, goes to the right foot town's Chris Yaniger, who booted both conversions.

A lion's share of the credit for the victory will have to the great play of the Lafayette defensive unit which overcame three Lafayette fumbles lost and a pass interception and fought a great deal of the second half in Leopard territory. Bucknell's two touchdowns came on a second-period beautiful 78-yard run by Bruce Smith and a fourth period fiveyard jump pass Bob Marks Ron Kinsey. The TD call was very unpopular with the homecrowd who thought that Kinsey did not have possession of the ball before dropping it in the end zone. Despite the fine defensive coverage of Little All-American Tom Mitchell, the talented end was able to catch eight passes for 104 yards. He dropped three passes he had his hands cn, one of the misses a comparative easy catch.

Keeps However, the eight catches enabled Mitchell to keep pace with his needed eight receptions per game to set a new national collegiate receiving record. He has now caught 144 passes for 1,995 yards in 22 varsity games. The loss by the Bisons was a serious blow to the Bucknell hopes of catching Hofstra Middle Atlantic Conference race. The Bisons are now 2-2 for the season and 2-1 in league competition. The second win for against Lafay- four losses for the, year.

Lafayette now holds a 22-16-14 edge in the series with Bucknell that began in 1883. Marshall completed 6 of 17 passes for 187 yards the Leopards, while Bill Messick led the ground attack with 61 yards in 13 carries. For Bucknell, Bill Lerro completed 8 of 21 passes for 102 yards, and Smith picked up 143 yards on 23 runs. Bucknell drew first blood with 2:44 gone in the second quarter. With the ball on the Bisons' 22, Smith hit center, slid off several tacklers and went 78 yards down the left sideline to score.

Bob Pegg's placement was wide and the score was 6-0. With 2:40 left in the period, Continued on Page D-2, Col. 5 Behind Quarterback Delaware Raps Lehigh, 42-12 getting on the scoreboard in the third period. Ron Mohap directed the drive that began on the Rovers 45 yard line. Steve Vajda and Curt Shell began eating up Easton real estate and the ball wound up on the 8.

From here Shell took a pitchout from Mohap and toured his own left end for a touchdown. Mohap's placement was perfect and Bethlehem took the lead 7-6. Mohap set up his team's second TD when he intercepted a Rover pass on his own 35 and returned the ball to the Easton 45. Again Vajda and Shell ripped the Rovers line while driving to the Easton 6. On a 4th and 3 situation from the 6, Mohap brought the crowd to its feet when he threw a perfect strike to Ken Brader in the end zone.

The junior halfback made spectacular catch tomakeit 13-6. Mohap's placement was good and Bethlehem fans, starving for a victory were screammore.

The senior signal-caller equalled a Delaware single game record with four touchdown passes, three to end Paul Mueller, as the Blue Hens ripped Lehigh, 42-21, before 6,000 fans in a Middle Atlantic Conference clash. Van Grofski connected on nine aerials for 182 yards as he picked Lehigh's weakened secondary apart and led the Blue Hens to their fifth straight win over the Engineers. Delaware leads in the series, 11-8. Mike Purzycki Van Grofski's other TD and pought, John Spangler and Stu Green ran for scores as the Hens rolled up their fourth straight victory, after are an 3-1 in opening the MAC. game Brian Wright, the Hens' leading rusher, picked up 88 yards and Green and Spangler added 72 and 46.

5th Straight Loss Lehigh, hindered by several key injuries and a poor pass defense, received its fifth consecutive setback and lost the services of fullback Hal Yeich. The Engineers' leading rusher gained 30 yards and scored on a two-yard plunge before he was injured with six minutes gone in the second period. Lehigh, 0-2 in the Mack, got good performances from halfback Jon Rushatz, quarterback Bill Semko and flanker Dick Miller. Rushatz, displaying good effort, gained 51 yards in 15 carries. Semko hit on 12 of 24 aerials for 133 yards and touch-downs to Miller and Dick Pochman.

Miller hauled in six passes for 57 yards. Delaware scored the first three times it got the ball. The Continued on Page D-2, Col. 2.
