Upsala's Dave Patterson toed the three-pointer for the victory after Moravian, trailing 21-0 in the second period, thrilled hometown fans with a three-touchdown exhibition to notch a 28-28 tie early in the fourth period. The Greyhounds, in the uphill battle, were forced to overcome brilliant touchdown runs of 74 and 79 yards by the Vikings' four-year veteran, speed-star Richie Davis, reputed to be on the scouting reports of many pro teams. Davis, who runs the 100 in 9.7 seconds, scampered 74 yards for the second Upsala touchdown in the first period, then took a kickoff in the third quarter for the 79-yarder. His two scores give him 200 points in his collegiate career, which ranks second at Upsala to the 234 posted by Fred Hill, football coach at Scott High School in East Orange.

The dramatic closing victory rally by Upsala, now 4-3, was set up by an interception of a pass by Greg Seifert, Moravian signal-caller, who threw from his end zone. Jim Konzelmann, a linebacker, picked off the aerial at the 'Hounds 12 and ran it to the 7 with 1:01 remaining in the game. Three plays later, Patterson, who kicked four extra points and ran 48 yards in 17 carrier, booted the field goal. Konzelmann also heisted a Moravian pass in the second period to assist in setting up Upsala's third touchdown. Upsala received the Blue-Grey Trophy, a prize awarded annually since 1961 by the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternities at the two colleges.

The presentation was made by Eric Shimer of Bethlehem, Moravian Chapter president, to Upsala Coach John Hooper. Moravian held the trophy with a 28-21 win last year. Moravian (2-5) had established a pattern of play in its four previous losses a sluggish first half, then an offensive second half outburst which still lacked the thrust for a win. The same style was evident yesterday. Upsala posted a three-touchdown lead, then Moravian caught fire with Seifert finding the TD range on 24 and 14-yard passes to Ralph Eltringham.

With the Greyhounds trailing 2-3 in touchdowns, Davis took the next kickoff and skirted Continued on Page C-8 Coi. 4 Muhlenberg Stunned By Lycoming, 32-14 Colgate Wins First At Lehigh's Expense score first when they moved 66 yards to Colgate's 5 before Laubach lost a fumble to Bill Glenn. Laubach completed six passes for 59 yards before this happened. The Raiders then turned around and drove 95 yards in 13 plays. Burton went the last 24 on a keeper with 1:12 gone in the second quarter.

All but two of the plays were on the ground as Arch Coupe, Don Mooradian and Tony Principe led the way. Lehigh's scoring drive covered 46 yards in eight plays after Paul Kepoff recovered Harry Shoff's fumble. Laubach completed four passes for 44 yards, the last seven to Oehlke. Bill Layton's placement made it 7-7 with 1:07 left in the half. Early in the third quarter Rich Schrumpf recovered Ron Kovatis's fumble on Lehigh's 28.

Coupe's three-yard TD run came four plays later and just after Burton and Jim Lydic teamed on a 24-yard pass play. Klumpp's interception stated Colgate's 82-yard drive for its clinching TD. Burton helped the cause with a 42-yard scamp- Mules managed a mere 80 yards on the ground, with quar-terback Ron Henry picking up 64 on 13 carries. The remarkable senior was injured with 8:18 remaining in the game when he slanted off tackle for two yards to the Lycoming 25. He lost all feeling from his elbow to his fingers and was to undergo further examination in the college infirmary.

Two other Muhlenberg players were injured. Randy Roor-bach, the starting split end, dislocated a shoulder in driving Haas out of bounds after an interception and is lost for the season. Joe Dipanni, a good-running tailback, injured a hip. Lycoming had taken an 80 lead in the first quarter on an early safety and Washington's two-yard sprint after a blocked punt by Bill Curley another freshman, had given the Warriors the ball at the Mule 36. The Mules then got moving for the first time in the game, marching 58 yards on eight plays, with Henry rolling right end for the last five yards.

He passed to Mark Hastie for a STATISTICS First downs 19 10 Rushing yardage 300 80 Passing yardage 89 111 Passes 9-13 11-32 Passes intercepted by 1 1 Punts 5-30 7-31 Fumbles lost 1 0 Yards penalized 35 39 By COULT AUBREY Mud often is an equalizing factor in football, but there are times when it creates an imbalance. Such an imbalance. existed yesterday when the soggy conditions at Muhlenberg proved complementary to Lycoming's power attack and detrimental to the Mules' defense. The Warriors, sparked by three superb freshmen and a junior, picked apart Muhlenberg's defense for 389 yards and rolled to a somewhat surprising 32-14 victory before about 4,500 Epsy Day spectators. It was in the last two periods that Lycoming broke the game open to gain its third victory of the season, scoring three times while exhibiting masterful ball control and an ability to make the clutch play.

Steve Miller, a 170 pound freshman quarterback who beat out his older brother Wayne for the starting job, was the driving force behind the rejuvenated Warriors. He skillfully mixed his plays, completed five consecutive passes in the last two touchdown drives and was on the receiving end of the final scoring pass, a perfectly-executed doulbe reverse with defensive back Paul Haas throwing to the end zone. Jugge Ward, a 200 pounder from Arlington, and Art Washington, a quick 159-pound-er, sifted through big openings in the Muhlenberg' line to account for 188 yards rushing. Washington, who missed last week's victory over Franklin and Marshall because of an injury, carried 19 times for 88 yards and broke away four times for gains of 11 or more yards. Ward, as powerful a runner as the Mules have faced this season, ground out 100 yards on 20 carries, and much of his yardage came on sheer strength as he shouldered the defenders backwards.

Muhlenberg, which had rushed for 1,142 yards in five previous games, was stymied all afternoon by the big, bruising Lycoming linemen. The Frank Cavagnaro was tops with 38 yards in 13 rushes. At the same time, Rick Lau-bach was busy setting two single-game pass records which went for naught. Before being shaken up, he connected on 23 of 33 aerials for 255 yards. The completions and yardage surpassed the old records of 20 and 195 held by Laubach and John Denoia, respectively.

Three of Lehigh's lost fumbles and an interception proved to be very costly. Colgate, winning for the sixth time in the eight game series, turned a fumble recovery and interception into touchdowns. The Engineers got inside the Raiders' 30 only to lose the ball three times twice on fumbles and once on an interception by Alan Klumpp. Laubach looked exceptionally good with his pinpoint passing. Palmerton's Greg Zern helped with several nice catches as he finished with nine receptions for 98 yards.

Rich Miller and Ron Matalavage also hauled in five aerials apiece. Bill Oehlke scored the lone TD on a seven-yard pass from Laubach. The Engineers threatened to STATISTICS First downs 17 21 Rushing yardage 220 25 Passing yardage 57 294 Passes 5-11 26-39 Passes Intercepted by 1 2 Punts -36 5-31 Fumbles lost 1 5 Yards penalized 25 43 By JIM BUSS Loose play cost Lehigh a possible victory yesterday.

A Houseparty Weekend crowd of 7,600 saw Lehigh fumble the ball away five times and Burton score twice to hand the Engineers their sixth straight defeat.

Burton led the Red Raiders' assault with 97 yards in 19 carries, including touchdown runs of 24 and five yards. The Raiders (1-6) relied on a strong ground game since Burton experienced a rough day passing. He managed only five completions in 11 attempts for 57 yards and was intercepted twice. For the Engineers (1-6) it was just the opposite. They gained little yardage on the ground as Continued on Page C-8 Col.

Tbe Scarlet pounded out a 27-3 victory over the Leopards before 8,000 people at Fisher Field, Easton. Rutgers handed the Leopards a 3-0 lead, then charged back to take a 20-3 lead at halftime and coasted to victory during the second half.

Scarlet Coach John Bateman, not satisfied with the Rutgers offense this year, switched to 6-3, 201-pound sophomore Bruce Van Ness to lead the Scarlet attackand it paid off. Van Ness, who replaced junior Pete Savino at quarterback, passed for 104 yards and two touchdowns and picked up another 48 yards on five runs. The win spoiled all hope for a Leopard winning season. Lafayette is now 2-5 for the year, just two more games remaining. The Scarlet on the other hand, are now 3-3 with three games left.

Van Ness mixed his attack well during the first half and the Scarlet moved the ball on the ground and in the air. The sophomore was always a threat to run or pass. Fast hard-hitting Don Riesett and Mel Brown, behind the big Scarlet line, pounded the Lafayette defensive line as the Scarlet rolled to a 20-3 lead. Riesett picked up 76 yards on 17 carries during the game, and Brown 49 yards in 22 tries. The Scarlet, however, in the second half had little incentive to grind out the yardage, and was unable to get a sustained drive.

Sophomore Ed Baker, who is filling in for the injured Jerry Facciani, moved the ball for the Leopards until they got within the Rutgers 10. Here the Scarlet line would rise to the occasion. The Leopards were within the Rutgers 10 in both the first and second periods, and drove from their own 13 to Rutgers 24 in the final quarter. Baker completed 14 of 35 passes for 194 yards. Tom Tri-olo caught three passes for 63 yards; Chris Yaniger of Allen-town, five passes for 55 yards, and Dave Robertshaw two for 26 yards.

Sophomore Bob Zimmer carried for 36 yards on seven tries, while Rick Craw added another 35 yards on 12 attempts. Lafayette was the first on the scoreboard as Bill Messick kicked a 21-yard field goal with Continued on Page C-8 Col. 2 IUDDY MULE MAKES MERRY Muhlenberg quarterback Ron Henry (14) slirjy between Lycoming tacklers Dan Walker (40) and Dave Dickson (72) after faking a pass and running for a sizable gain.
