A 20-3 win over Gettysburg before a large Parent ' s Day crowd provided some balm for the wounds of the previous encounters. Spotting the visitors a three point advantage, the Engineers roared back with 20 points in the final quarter. Sophomore fullback Mike Noel cracked over for the initial score and Walt King added the second. A 33-yard pass from King to Joe Walton accounted for the final touchdown. The Engineers reverted to their early season form against Bucknell, the Bisons capitalizing on a pass in- terception and a fumble to administer a 32-6 thumping. Although they outgained the visitors, the Brown and White could not find the range on the goal line. There was no rest for the weary, as Rutgers took full advantage of Lehigh ' s lack of depth to win 29-13. Despite being penalized 118 yards, having two passes intercepted, and losing two fumbles, the Black Knights steadily pulled away from the locals. The game was close for three quarters. Mike Noel and Walt King scored in the first and third periods, respectively, and the visitors pushed over two scores in the second period to establish a 14-13 edge. Two final period scores iced the game for the Knights. The Engineers were kept in the game by the fine passing of senior quarterback King, who completed 15 of 25 passes, breaking the Lehigh record for completions in one game (13) set by Little Ail-American Dan Nolan in 1957. Columbia sophomore Archie Roberts lived up to his reputation as the hottest quarterback in the Ivy League, completing 12 of 14 passes to lead the Lions to a 22-15 victory. A four yard pass by Roberts in the final period proved the clincher. Once again — on King ' s two scores — the Engineers stayed with the opposition for three periods. Snow, mud, and a stronger Colgate eleven threw the Brown and White for a 1 3-0 loss. The stubborn but outmanned Engineers were able to pound the Raiders line for only 90 yards, their lowest offensive output of the season. The return to past season form of Pat Clark and the recovery of injury-prone Ed Winchester enabled the locals to break their six-game losing streak. The hapless divisions from the Merchant Marine Academy were completely dominated and the Engineers easily picked up an 18-0 decision. Clark gained 90 yards and Win- chester added 7 1 more.
