1 1 FIRST Football SUNDAY CALL-CHRONICLE Bowling ALLENTOWN, PA. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1967 SECTION Muhlenberg Gains 1st Victory, 14-7 Bucknell Edges Lehigh, 14-13 STATISTICS First downs Rushing yardage 162 Passing yardage 79 Passes 8-16 Passes intercepted by Punts 10-33 6-38 Fumbles lost. Yards penalized 48 Special to the Call-Chronicle LEWISBURG Bucknell resorted to control-type tactics to nip Lehigh, 14-13, Saturday before a Homecoming crowd of .000 in Memorial Stadium. Quarterback Sam Havrilak's two-point conversion pass to Bruce Smith provided the Bisons with their second win of the season and sixth straight triumph over the Engineers. Bisons (2-3) scored on drives of 33 and 98 yards after punts as sophomore tailback Dave Vassar led the way with 189 yards in 37 carries, the latter a Bison single game record.

Vassar was playing in place of the injured Frank Arentowicz. Havrilak, the Bisons' leading rusher, gained 65 yards in 22 carries and completed 'eight of 16 passes for only 39 yards. Smith caught six of the aerials. Signal caller Rick Laubach scored both Lehigh touchdowns on runs of 43 and one yards. He and Frank Cavagnaro gained 64 and 63 yards, respectively.

Laubach also completed six of 18 passes for 79 yards. Laubach's 18 pass attempts gave him 300 in his career, a new Engineer record. The old standard was 298 by Dan Nolan (1955-57). Laubach needs just six completions to pass Nolan's 142 career completions. The Pottsville junior has connected 137 times.

Henry, a veteran quarterback who probably should have been on the sideline nursing a couple of painful injuries, threw a disastrous third quarter interception yesterday, then turned around and drove the Mules to a magnificent 14-7 victory. over Lebanon Valley before a wet but pleased Parents Day crowd of.

4,000 who watched the Muhlenberg home opener. The winning play, an 18-yard pass from Henry to Mark Hastie with 4:39 remaining in the game, was a thing of beauty that caught the entire Lebanon Valley defense moving away from the receiver. The Mules had ba third-andfour at the Dutchmen's 18. Henry took the snap, faked to Randy Uhrich and dropped back as Uhrich followed a wall of blockers around left end. The deception was so great that the entire Lebanon Valley defense followed after Uhrich, with the exception of one charging lineman.

Henry ducked away from him and lofted an easy pass to Hastie at the goal line. It was an easy and deserving score, that provided the Mules with their first victory of the season. To add some insurance, Henry passed to Ted Dick for a twopoint conversion. in the air, while a miserly defense limited the Cadets to 90 in yards rushing second (only 3 net yards the half) and 88 passing. In the 20-game series, Moravian holds an 11-9 edge over PMC, now 1-3 for the season.

The Moravian quarterback twins also were the leading Moravian runners, Seifert picking up 85 yards in 7 carries, while Dietz lugged 10 times for 74 yards, Freshman Jack Iannantuono had 43 in 7 tries. Mossa was the leading pipe rusher with 65 yards on 18 carries. Steve Markovich, Moravian safety, pilfered three PMC passes including a 41-yard return durning the afternoon, then directed the Greyhounds as quarterback late in the game and gained 25 yards on five running efforts. Sophomore Bruce Bona, starting his first game at middle guard, picked off the fourth interception for Moravian and figured highly in containing the PMC attack. He was inserted into the lineup since cocaptain Bob Griffith was injured in last weeks' Wagner game.

An offensive gamble and a goal-line stand early in the contest gave indications of Moravian's style for the remainder of the game. The Greyhounds hit the scoreboard in 5:06 of the first quarter in a seven-play, 64-yard drive, climaxed by a gambling fourth-and-four situation with Iannantuono gaining 14 for a Continued on Page C-3 Col. 4 It was an exhibition of poise and courage by the Slatington senior and a Muhlenberg team that refused to succumb to its own mistakes. Except for the interception, the Mules would have had a shutout, a remark-: able feat against a team thatuses a variety of offenses. Henry, who was heartbroken: about the interception "I never should have thrown the ball," was near perfect there-: after.

He completed seven of his last eight passes five to Hastie-for 82 yards. Hastie, a 160 pound sophomore with an ability to pick his holes and excellent hands, was fantastic in his own He carried the ball 17 times for 80 yards, including runs of 14, 17 and 16 yards, and caught eight passes for 89 yards. Several of his receptions were unbelievable considering the slippery conditions. Uhrich, a freshman who is listed as a quarterback but who has filled in at tailback because of injuries to Joe DiPanni and Tom Saeger, also had a big day with 65 yards on 16 tries. Henry had a number.

of key runs off the option, especially and 11- yard sprint through tackle that kept alive the winning drive. The offensive line, led by Frank Churchman, John Blend, Lee Seras and Marty Frankenfield among others, was exceptional, beating the Lebanon Valley defense and opening sizable holes. Defensively the Mules stopped virtually everything the Dutch men- had to offer, with the exception of Walt Cahill, a 170- pound freshman. Cahill ground out 118 yards on 20 carries. Freshman Paul Werrell picked off two of Bruce Decker's aerials once at his 15 and the other at his 35, boosting his total for three games to five.

dominated the game almost entirely in the last 19 minutes, permitting Valley to run only six plays while the Mules reeled off 37. One of the Dutchmen's plays was a fumble and another was Werrell's second interception. The Mules, who lost a good scoring drive when Henry fumbled to Denny Tulli at the Lebanon Valley 14, started their winning drive from their 22.

The Lafayette defensive line, which is making quite a reputation for itself, held the Generals to a minus seven yards for the afternoon. Jerry Facciani passed to Dave Robertshaw for TDs in the first and third quarter, and Bill Messick kicked a beautiful 43-yard field goal in the second, to salt the game away the Leopards.
