C-2 SUNDAY CALL-CHRONICLE, Ailentown, November 7, 1976 Engineers' gamble fails Lehigh dealt 21-20 setback by Virginia COLLEGE came back a play later with a 27-yard run. Aprill, who led Lehigh with 79 yards on 11 carries, picked up a key first down on fourth and two at Virginia's 3-yard line and Gardner scored from a yard out. Rieker hit Henshaw with the pass that tied the game. The Cavaliers drove 89 yards their longest drive of the season for the winning TD. Virginia's Russ Henderson, who is second in the nation in punting and did an excellent job of keeping Lehigh in a hole all day, kept that drive alive by running for two yards out of punt formation to give his team a first down at his own 38 and two plays later, Ritt hit flanker Andre Grier with a 58-yard TD bomb.

times to make the game interesting, but simply ran out of miracles and dropped its fourth game in nine starts, while Virginia picked up its second win after taking its lumps in the tough Atlantic Coast Conference. The Engineers trailed by seven points when they got their final shot with 2:49 left to play after Jim Dutt returned a punt 11 yards to his own 18. Lenny Daniels pulled in a screen pass for 18 yards and Mark Weaver got nine more yards on a reverse forcing Virginia's coach Dick Bestwick to call timeout to get his young defense together. Rieker sneaked for the first down at his own 49, but two plays later was back at the same spot after being sacked then hitting Rod Gardner with a pass. Henshaw was one of three people to get his hands on a third down pass, but they all dropped the ball.

But on fourth and 10, Rieker hit Henshaw over the middle for 11 yards and the first down. After two more Keys and passing of Andy Hitt to move to Lehigh's 1-yard line as the quarter ended. On third and goal on the first play of the second period Greg McDaniel hit left guard for the touchdown and Joe Jenkins added the placement. Seven plays later Lehigh got its first TD as Dave Aprill swept left end from three yards out, Rieker hit Garner and Weaver with long passes to account for 57 of the 72 yards on that drive. But Greg Pierog missed his first conversion in 22 attempts this season and Lehigh still trailed at the half.

Virginia came out in the second half running option plays instead of pow-erruns up the middle and drove 64 yards after the kickoff for its second TD with McDaniel getting his second TD on a fourth down play from a yard out. Jenkins again added the placement. Lehigh came right back after the kickoff and tied the game as Aprill caught a 32-yard pass from Rieker and incomplete passes, he found Henshaw again over the middle for another 20, then stopped the clock with his final timeout with 12 seconds left. Rieker overthrew a pair of receivers in the end zone to use up seven more seconds and had just one play, left. One the final drive he was getting all the time he needed to throw against Virginia's 3-man rush and as he dropped back for Lehigh's final play, he used up the remaining five seconds trying to find a receiver.

Henshaw was the man he finally picked out and Rieker drilled a pass to the deep left corner of the end zone. Henshaw went high in the air and hauled it in somehow keeping one foot inbounds while being hit by a pair of defenders. Virginia called its last timeout to reorganize for the two-point attempt. Lehigh had picked one up earlier when Rieker rolled right and threw to Henshaw coming back against the grain. He tried the same play again and Henshaw did get open momentarily, but Bowden recovered in time to knock the pass away.

Few members of the Parents's Day crowd of 16,743 had left their seats and the Virginia partisans left Scott Stadium wondering how something had finally gone right for their team. But the answer wasn't all that complicated. Virginia doesn't have a bad football team, it just plays in the wrong conference. By playing a ball-control ame on offense and a tough brand of efense, the Cavaliers were equal to Lehigh, which has managed to beat just one of the four Division I football teams on its schedule this season. Virginia must have thought it was again overmatched when Lehigh's Mark Weaver returned the opening kickoff 79 yards, but the Engineers only got a missed field goal out of it.

Virginia didn't get its initial first down until late in the first quarter, but once it did, it followed up with four more in a row on the running of Ray STATISTICS i' st downs 20 16 Rushing yardage 177 242 Passing yardage 247 96 Passes 17-32 5-11 Passes intercepted by 0 I Punts 5-34 6-47 Fumbles lost 0 0 Yardspenaliied 48 30 By TERRY LARIMER Call-Chronicle Sports Writer CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. During the regular course of most of Virginia's football games this season, things haven't gone too well for the Cavaliers. So maybe it was appropriate that they had luck on their side Saturday after their battle with Lehigh was "over." Engineer tight end Larry Henshaw made a spectacular leaping catch of a pass from Mike Rieker at the back of the end zone with no time left on the clock, but Virginia's Bobby Bowden got his hand on a Rieker-to-Henshaw pass for a two-point conversion that saved a 21-20 victory for the Cavaliers.

This, though, was not most games.

The Leopards rolled up 591 yards of total offense to more than compensate for any problems they might have had as they routed Gettysburg 30-3 in a game that was far more lopsided than the score could ever indicate. With juniors John Orrico and Rob Stewart leading the way, Lafayette marched 80 yards for a touchdown on its third possession. It never trailed, although with seven minutes to go. 30-3 romp more lopsided than score shows Stays unbeaten Lehigh Virginia 0 7 670 7 21 McDaniel I run (Jenkins Kick) Aprill 3 run (kick tailed) McDaniel 2 run Uenpuns kick) Gardner I run (Henshaw, pass trom Rieker) Oner, 58 pass Irom Hitt (Jenkins kick) Henshaw 20 pass trom Rieker (pass tailed). put more than two first downs together.

Kirby Scott, the Bullets' talented senior halfback, needed only one yard to set a career rushing record. He got 60 on 16 carries, but it didn't really matter. Lafayette again was without a couple of its defensive starters end Kevin McCarthy didn't make the trip and linebacker Dave Osleger suited up but didn't play. But as was the case last week, the fill-ins carried their share without any trouble, with freshman linebacker Brent Beyer turning in a strong job. along with end Kirk Harm-an.

Mark Jones, who was injured in a one-point loss to Pennsylvania and hadn't played the last two weeks, came on when Stewart got hurt; and Jones hit nine of 17 passes for 99 yards. On his second play in the game, his pass intended in the end zone for wide-open Bob North was dropped. Fullback Brian Musician gained 54 yards and also played a key role in getting things opened up for Orrico; and the day's leading pass receivers were Matt Walsh and Orlando Wright with four grabs each Walsh was on the end of a 40-yard gain on which he then fumbled away the ball to let one scoring chance slip away.

Lafayette's overall team play on defense was superb. Gettysburg had just one first down and 14 rushing yards in the first half and never was able to On the move i of the Gettysburg defense, then slipped a would-be tackier at the Bullet 20 en route to the end zone. He was also largely responsible for Lafayette's first TD of the game. He had twisting runs of 16, 14 and 19 yards in the long march that was capped by a one-yard sneak by Stewart. Stewart, who was injured later in the game and didn't play but half the contest overall, had peaks and valleys throughout his stint.

When Gettysburg keyed its defense on Orrico, Stewart kept the ball and picked up 102 rushing yards on just 13 carries. He also completed five of 10 passes for 169 yards. At the same time, though, he fumbled twice, including one on the second play after gaining 25 yards, and he also threw both interceptions after But Fred Balina brought the 4,500 Youth Day crowd to its feet with 12 minutes left in the game when he grabbed a Bloomsburg punt on his own 29, roared up the middle and then broke down the sideline to score on a 71-yard run. It was the first big one he broke this year after having two called back. The tally virtually iced the game for the Warriors who stopped a Bloomsburg drive at the ESSC 23 on an interception by Joe Detzi.

The Big Red also drove from their own 37 to the Bloomsburg 9 with Radocha who gained 61 yards on 22 carries getting loose on an 18-yard run But. Tom Smith stepped in front of a Terwilliger pass and the final ESSC chance was turned back by another interception. Palubinski. who was named the ECAC player of the week for his stirring performance last Saturday against Cortland State, added another sparkling effort with six catches for 167 yards. On defense.

Joe Detzi and Jeff Johnson led the way for ESSC, coming up with 19 and 21 tackles, respectively.

"That's the difference between this team and others we've had." The Lafayette defense was ready for anything. It allowed Gettysburg (3-61 just 163 total yards and only six first downs for the day.

The only points came on a 32-yard field goal by Dick Eppleman in the first quarter; and even then, the Bullets had a first down on the Leopard 16 and got just one yard on three plays before the boot. Gettysburg crossed midfield only one other time all afternoon, and that effort ended at the Lafayette 37. Orrico, a 175-pound tailback who has done a little of everything to help the Lafayette offense this year, was in a versatile role against Gettysburg. He rushed for 149 yards on 21 carries and also caught two passes for 89 yards one a 71-yard touchdown in the second period when he got open in the middle in the end zone with 49 seconds remaining in the period. The turnabout fired up the Huskies who charged up field on an 80-yard drive to score in four plays.

Canzler hit Ed Bugno for 12 yards, then scrambled for 15 more before he passed over the middle to Bugno. The freshman receiver made a fingertip grab in heavy traffic and broke away to score on a 49-yard play with 19 seconds gone in the second quarter. Bloomsburg went for the two points and Canzler completed a pass to Mike Steigerwalt of Palmerton but ESSC defender Andy Whittington stopped the play short of the goal line. East Stroudsburg was denied in the second quarter when a 20-yard TD pass from Terwilliger to Dennis Gorman was ruled out by a penalty. It was the third touchdown called back this season.

In desperation, the Warriors' Jack Rogers attempted a Herculean 57-yard field goal which was short. Rogers also missed on a 42-yarder in the quarter after the Warriors threatened to Bloomsburg 22. A fumble recovery by Phil Ollins gave ESSC the chance In the fourth quarter it seemed the ball changed hands each time on an interception. Bill Jones pounced on a Bloomsubrg fumble at the 30 but after Terwilliger passed to Palubinski to the 17. Bruce Smith picked off.

Defensive back Vic Angeline took care of that by intercepting a pass and returning it for a touchdown, and Lafayette scored again as time ran out to complete its second consecutive win and third in eight games overall. This victory, perhaps more than any other this season, could be shared by both units.

When the offense was holding on to the football, it was devastating, finishing the game with 323 yards rushing and 268 passing. The day's mistakes included four fumbles one on the end of a 25-yard run, another after a 40-yard pass play two pass interceptions, one in the end zone and the other at the 1 and a batch of missed scoring chances.

He managed only a seven-yarder on a high snap and the Huskies came away with another break The Big Red defense dug in here and Bloomsburg punted to the ESSC 18 from where the Warriors moved out to score for the first time. It was a seven-play. 72-yard march which Radocha started on a 10-yard run straight ahead. Terwilliger was sacked on the next play, but came back to hit Palubinski on a 22-yard toss to push across midfield. A piling-on penalty gave ESSC the ball at the Bloomsburg 33 and Radocha on the option advanced to the 25.

Terwilliger caught everyone by surprise fading back into the end zone to deliver the long bomb to Palubinski who never lost stride as he reached for the ball at the ESSC 45 and outsped the Huskies secondary into the end zone. The scoring pass play was the longest in school history, bettering the 90-yard TD catch by Grey Seamans from Charlie Sandora in 1972 against Scran-ton.
