After a scoreless first half, Susquehanna linebacker Bob Fessler picked off a Mike Wilson pass and returned to the Wilkes 17 late in the third quarter. After three runs by halfback Pete Burton netted 14 yards, quarterback Pete Annarumma tossed a three-yard scoring aerial to split end Dave Santacroce. Burton's PAT kick gave the Crusaders a 7-0 lead. The margin held up until 8:45 re-' mained in the game.

Faced with a fourth and four situation from its own 25, Susquehanna went into punt formation. However, the snap sailed over the head of punter Kevin Area, state By Bill Toland Sports Editor SELINSGROVE The Sunbury Bowling Association, using the language of the pin-toppling sport, fired a perfect game here Saturday night in its testimonial for Sunbury's Hank Sanders, current president of the Pennsylvania State Bowling Association. Approximately 100 persons, including the entire slate of Sanders' officers from throughout the state and representatives of a number of men's and women's bowling associations in the commonwealth, were present in the Selinsgrove' Moose home to pay tribute to him, the first Sunbury area man elected to the top office in the state association. Sanders, actively' involved in bowling for about 30 years and the 34th president since the inception of the state association in 1937, received a number of fine gifts from the Sunbury association and the Allentown bowling unit. A native of.

Williamsport, Sanders and his wife, Tina, established residence in Sunbury in the middle 1940s. They have a daughter, Carol, how living in Arlington, and a son, Jerry of Sunbury. Sanders, a onetime vice president of the Sunbury Bowling Association, has served as secretary-treasurer of the Sunbury unit since 1933.

Rieker took to the air lanes once more put the Engineers ahead, 31-13.

1 Playing catch-up football now, Bucknell diverted from the game plan and took to the air but was intercepted setting up still another Rieker touchdown pass. There was no question about it. Lehigh, on the strength of Rieker's rifle passing arm, unveiled a devastating passing attack. He broke the Lehigh passing mark for a single game, throwing for four touchdowns and 384 yards. Three different receivers caught five passes each for over 100 yards.

And Rieker's back-up, Rich Andres, added insult to injury by guiding the Engineers to a touchdown with just a minute left in the ball game. "They were ready and waiting for us," said Curtis. "We could only defense a couple of things and we tried to cut off the big one." Bucknell goes from the frying pan into the fire as it faces Colgate, one of only two undefeated major college teams in the country, next week in Hamilton, N. Y.

For a while, it looked like history might repeat itself but, like a time bomb, the Lehigh offense exploded right in the face of the Bisons in an emotion-packed showdown of these two rivals before over 11,000 delirious fans in Taylor Stadium. The Engineers staged the most pressive offensive show the Bisons (3-4) have seen this year and won, 47-13. There was no question about the importance of this game for both teams. Lehigh was out for blood to set straight its last two losses to the Bisons, and Bucknell was riding the crest of two consecutive wins and looking at the possibility of its second winning season in three years. teams were ready to do battle," remarked BU Coach Bob Curtis in the wake of defeat, "but we just didn't play enough good football." Lehigh scored on its first possession after the Bucknell defense held and forced a 38-yard field goal on the leg of Kenny Wood.

But Bucknell took the ensuing kickoff and put together the kind of ground game it displayed a week ago with a 58-yard drive, all on the ground, as quarterback Glynn Lipp scooted 17 yards into the Lehigh end zone. The kick was blocked, but Bucknell enjoyed a 6-3 lead.

Carmen Folio, second vice president, could not attend due to a prior committment. The vice presidents and Rebuck injected good humor into the program with informal remarks and comments about their experiences with Sanders over the years.

Sanders responded with warm words of thanks to the Sunbury association and the state association and others who cooperated in the arrangements for the testimonial program. He introduced his wife, daughter and son and thanked them for their patience and understanding in granting him the time to become involved in the promotion of bowling. The Sunbury association gifted Sanders with matched luggage and a digital wrist watch. He received a manicure set from the Allentown bowling unit. Mrs.

Sanders received a box of, candy from the Wyoming Valley Bowling Association, an orchid corsage from the Sunbury association and the floral centerpiece on the speaker's table. Carol, a federal employe in Washington, also received a centerpiece. Mrs. Jane Galow of Northumberland, president of the Sunbury Women's Bowling Association, and Edward Jefferson of Ashley, the first president of the state organization, were also in attendance, along with many other former officers of the Sunbury association.

Dissinger commended the Sunbury bowling unit for its thoughtfulness in sponsoring the event. The speaker pointed out that Sanders played major roles in the establishment of a Sunbury Bowling Association Hall of Fame, a seniors' tourney in the Sunbury area and special annual awards for jun-. ior bowlers and outstanding scholar-athletes in the association territory. Dissinger said a decision about the locale for a National Bowling Hall of Fame facility will be made next July. He said the current museum in Milwaukee, has become too small.

After intercepting a Lehigh pass and moving to the Engineers' 18-yard line, Bucknell missed a potential field goal try. Then after the Bison defense held and forced a punt, it took over again and moved to the Lehigh 34 before Allen Simmons fumbled on the Engineers' 25. After Lehigh failed to capitalize on its good fortunes, the Bisons for a third time regained control late in the first But this time, following a Bison punt, Lehigh caught fires, and in four plays was in the end zone.

With just 58 seconds to play in the half, quarterback Mike Rieker spotted his favorite target, Steve Krieder, behind the Bison secondary and connected on a 42-yard aerial. The momentum had distinctly shifted in Lehigh's favor in just a matter of minutes as it owned a 16-6 halftime lead. "For 26 minutes we were playing the best football we've played all year against the best Division II team in the East," said Curtis, "but we lost the momentum at the end of the first half." Lehigh picked up where it left off in the second half, scoring in just four on the second of Rieker's four touchdown passes on the afternoon. Down 23-6, Bucknell recovered a Lehigh fumble on the 41 and on the next play Lipp hit Simmons on a 41 -yard scoring strike to make it 23-13 and bring the Bisons within reach again; The Bucknell defense toughened and forced Lehigh to try a 41-yard field goal that failed.
