Lehigh Lafayette

Page 34 text:

The faithful Lehigh fans who braved the freezing weather were rewarded by the Engineers ' 17-10 victory over the Leopards. Lafayette, however, still leads the overall rivalry with a 67-51-5 record. The fans were eager to take home a piece of the tradition which had come to an end. Demolition of Taylor Stadi- um was scheduled to begin the Mon- day after the game but began prema- turely during the closing moments of play. Students and alumni stripped the structure of its doors, bleachers, turf, and anything else that could be loos- ened. The ' 5 ' from the fifty yard li ne was dug up from the turf while others knocked off the LEHIGH letters from the press box. Some dedicated alumni took home the seats they had occupied for every home game since their gradu- ation. For a few, this had been over fifty years of devotion to their alma mater.
