Lehigh's six points did tie a record for the most an Engineer team has ever scored against Yale, but since it has now scored only 21 points in a 11 losses to the Bulldogs, it was less than small consolation. A combination of rain, wind, good defense and offensive mistakes by both clubs resulted in a scoreless first half, but Pagliaro woke the Parents' Day crowd of 13,034 up with scoring dashes of 75 and six yards in the first 4:23 of the third period. Lehigh, which had barely reached beyond midfield in the first half, got there quickly shortly after the second-half kickoff, but cornerback Mark Rooth came up with the first interception of a Rieker pass this season and returned it 24 yards to Lehigh's 31-yard line.

Yale fullback Mike Southworth, who powered his way to 70 yards on eight carries, found a big hole over left tackle on Yale's first play and was dragged down by Marc Borden at Lehigh's 7.

Randy Carter added the first of his three conversions and Yale had a 7-0 lead with just 1:47 expired. Yale got a punt at its 24 after stopping another Lehigh march and on the first play, Pagliaro slanted at left tackle, slipped outside and won a footrace to the end zone.

Both Lehigh and Yale have been plagued by turnovers this season and each had four Saturday. The Bulldogs lost one of their 10 fumbles in three games to set up Lehigh's lone TD. Engineer defensive end Greg Clark sacked quarterback Bob Rizzo for a 13-yard loss late in the third quarter and caused a fumble which Lehigh's Eric Merrill fell on at Yale's 20. Dave Aprill picked up 12 yards on an inside reverse, but was dropped for a 3-yard loss and had an incomplete pass thrown in his direction to set up a third and goal from the 11. Rieker, who hit on 14 of 30 passes for 188 yards, stepped back to pass, was spun around, but found Rod Gardner open over the middle and hit him for the TD.

Rieker was under great pressure most of the afternoon and managed to get out of trouble several times, but saw his receivers drop passes three times when they were in the open.

Rosenfeld reinjured an ankle in the first half and never returned to action. It was Sules who scored the Muhlen berg touchdown on a two-yard drive over Dumchus on the first play of the final quarter, capping a 14-play march of 54 yards directed by sophomore quarterback John Schlechter of Southern Lehigh. Coach Frank Marino went for the tying point with Sam Stovall doing the kicking, and it was the only logical call since the Mules were moving the ball well on the ground. Everyone felt certain they would score again. Ana appeared tney would mo ments later when a Western Maryland fumble was covered at the Muhlenberg 41.

Sules and Leland Lott ran to a first down at the 36, then carried again to the 28. Here, as the Mules lined up for a critical fourth-and-2, there was very sudden delay of game infraction that shoved them back to the 33. Mike Sanders then diagnosed a pitch to Lott perfectly and threw him for a loss at the 35 to kill that threat. The Muhlenberg defense, which was excellent against the run all afternoon, held once again and forced a punt to the Mule 18.

Curci said it was a "makeshift offensive line" that blew out the Penn State defense to make the hole for the Kentucky runners.

"It's kind of incredible, but we're developing some depth, especially at linebacker," Curci said. Curci said his defensive unit earned easily as much praise, especially in their goal-line stand in the fourth peri od when it took Penn State three plays to score from the Kentucky one after a pass interference call.

Yale did two things no other team has done this season against Lehigh on Saturday control the line of scrimmage and intercept passes. And it now owns an 11-game winning streak over the Engineers as a result of a 21-6 victory. The Bulldogs picked off three Mike Rieker passes, turned one of them into a touchdown and used two others to stop what appeared to be certain scoring opportunities. But the Yale win was hardly a fluke. Tailback John Pagliaro picked up 203 yards on 17 carries and he'd be the first to admit almost anyone who can run fast could have done as well.

He saw little but daylight all day as his line continually blew open gaping holes in a Lehigh defensive line that had been one of the team's strong points during Lehigh's opening trio of wins. The Bulldogs galloped for a total of 375 yards on the ground against an Engineer defense that had been allowing less than 100 yards rushing per game.

For two games, Jones is 44 for 69 63.8 per cent for 492 yards and five scores. "It's nice to be back," he said with a broad grin yesterday. No one could argue with him about it, either. And when he wasn't hitting passes, he was handing off to backs who accounted for 259 rushing yards to give the Leopards a balance they haven't enjoyed all year.

John Orrico, the Leopards' junior tailback, was the rushing leader with 97 yards on 23 carries; and sophomore fullback Brian Musician, a 215-pound er, scored on three short plunges to highlight his 58-yard effort. For a while, it appeared it would take a calculator to add up the offensive yardage for both clubs. Lafayette drove 70 yards in 10 plays, with Steve Potako taking a 10-yard TD pass from Jones; but Wagner, aided by a 48-yard pass from Glen Galahte to Bob Grady, tied the game three minutes later. Lafayette put together a nine-play, 80-yard scoring march, capped by a Musician plunge; but Paul Gurrieri's 65-yard return of the ensuing kickoff put the Seahawks right back into scoring position, and they tied the game again. Lafayette, after having one field goal fall short, mounted a 10-play, 62-yard TD drive, with a Jones-to-Orrico pass accounting for the score; but for, Please See Page C-3, Column 1 '1 'J i 1 i STATISTICS 15 95 214 14-28 0 5-25 0 45 28 259 260 24-34 1 333 0 First downs Rushing yardage Passtng yardage Passes Passes intercepted Punts Fumbles lost Yards penaliied By PAUL REINHARD Call-Chronicle Sports Writer Mark Jones hasn't had the smoothest of college football careers.

After a sophomore year that had Lafayette fans drooling with anticipation of two more big seasons, he ran into a series of knee problems that cheated him of a chance at further success. Because of the circumstances, and helped by an NCAA waiver, he was given another opportunity to prove to himself and everyone else that the 1973 season hadn't been one of hollow promise. He's doing it in a big way. The 6-0, 195-pound quarterback had a hand in a pair of school records and directed an offense that piled up 519 yards yesterday as Lafayette snapped a three-game losing streak with a 44-21 victory over Wagner at Fisher Field. A week ago, Jones had completed 20 of 35 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns; but he also threw four interceptions, and his effort was overshadowed by a defeat to Columbia.

Yesterday was a different story. The Pennsville, N.J., senior hit a school record 24 passes on 34 attempts for 260 yards and two touchdowns; but more importantly, he was error-free as the Leopards rolled up their biggest point total during Neil Putnam's six years as head coach. The 24 completions broke by one the record that was set by Ed Baker in 1969 and tied the following year by Rich McKay.

A 5-9, 170-pound freshman from Livingston, N.J., in only his second collegiate game, Sules ran through a torrential downpour for a most astonishing 258 yards, easily adding to the 201-yard total piled up by John Mill of Whitehall in his first college appearance three years ago at Johns Hopkins.

But it was, in a sense, a brilliant effort without pleasurable result as the horrendous conditions almost totally took away the Mules' passing attack. They managed just two completions in 11 tries for a meager 20 yards, never being able to strike for the lightning play that was so productive last week in the overwhelming opening victory over Johns Hopkins. Sules amazed a small but very hardy crowd at Hoffa Field as he ripped through holes opened by junior tackle Billy Dumchus and freshman Vince Mulvihill, frequently bringing the Muhlenberg fans to life as he threatened to go the distance. He had runs of 21 and 39 yards in the first half when he actually accumulated one yard more (92) than the team's rushing total. In the second half he added skid to after them, but I tell 'em to run that clock." Curci said.

"Even when we gave it up, we got two or three first downs," he added. Kentucky ran 83 plays to Penn State's 58 and outgained the Lions 429-212. "What can I say after we got the devil kicked out of us?" Penn State Coach Joe Patcrno said after the Lions had suffered a third defeat in succession for the first time since 1964. Paterno called Kentucky "sharp, tough. Their backs run hard.

Derrick Ramsey's not fancy, but he gets the ball around people," Paterno said. Curci, too, had nothing but praise for Ramsey who "might be the best quarterback in the nation for what he does. "But when you've got to try to stop four backs and three of them gain close to 100 yards you know you're in trouble," Curci added.
