Kenyon vs Otterbein 1973 Football Program

kenyon vsi otterbein ÂŽ me bride field, sept. I S, 1 973

opening day Welcome to McBride Field for the opening game of the 1973 Kenyon College football season. Today the Lords set out to match last year’s spectacular 7-0-1 record—best ever in Kenyon’s history. The Lords have a record-equalling 6-game winning streak going into today’s con­ test.

A win today could erase that record first established in 1890!

The Lords’ fortunes are resting heavily on junior quarterback Pat Clements. Clements, a converted wingback, is starting his first game as quarterback for the Lords. With him in the backfield are senior George Letts, tailback, sophomore Robert “Rusty” Cunningham, wingback, and Kenyon record-holder Joe Szamania.

Just a junior, Szamania already holds the Lords’ career record for rushing attempts (330), single season rushing attempts (169), and single season yardage (787).

With 1447 career yards already collected, Szamania is also closing in on the career rushing mark of 1650 yards set by Nate Withington from 1958-61.

Kenyon also has sound performers on the lines and in the defensive backfield to name just a few: safeties Pat Riley and Bruce Isaacs, cornerbacks Dave Utlak and Kent McDonald, linebackers John Vrtachnik and Rich Levengood, ends Jim Myers, Mark Leonard, and Dennis Hall, guards George Guzauskas and Jim Mical, tackles Jerry Retar, Mike Gibbons, and Alex Young, center Dan Blend, and soccer-style place kicker Giovanni DiLalla.

our opponents The Lords open today against the Otterbein Cardinals who look to better a dismal 2-7 1972 record.

With 20 starters returning. Cardinal Head Coach Moe Alger has ex­ perience on his side. Otterbein’s offense is sparked by senior quarter­ back Jim Bontadelli who last year passed and scrambled for 1134 yards —good for 12 touchdowns. With him in the backfield is sophomore Ron Gorman (14 passes, 162 yds.) who was named most valuable freshman last season.

Bontadelli will get plenty of protection from All-OAC guard Tom Cahill (6-2, 205), and tackle Mike Shannon (6-3, 220).

Cahill, a two-way performer, teams up with junior Pete Lenge (5-11, 185) on defense containing opponents’ offenses from the end positions.

Otterbein is also strong at linebacker with three seniors returning— Bill Spooner (5-10, 190), Rick Romer (6-0, 215), and Robin Rushton (6-1, 210).

Finally, the Cardinals’ punting game is strong with senior Leif Pettersen sporting a 36-yard per kick average last year.

. . . Kenyon traveled to Westerville to face the Otterbein Cardinals in the season opener.

Otterbein promptly asserted the upper hand scoring two secondquarter touchdowns on a 29-yd. run

by QB Bontadelli, and a 23-yd. pass from Bontadelli to Lenge. Kenyon got on the board with just nine seconds left in the first half. Han­ del’s 8-yd. pass to Duffy—and DiLalla’s PAT—made the score 14-7.

After the break Kenyon picked up where it left off, scoring with only two-and-a-half minutes gone in the third quarter. This time it was Joe Szamania scoring on a 9-yd. blast, with DiLalla again converting.

Early in the fourth quarter Di­ Lalla provided what proved to be the winning margin, splitting the uprights from 34-yards away. It was DiLalla’s first college field goal, and the Lords’ first 1972 victory. Final Score: Kenyon 17 Otterbein 14.
