November 13, 1965 — Todd Becker throws two touchdown passes and also returns a kickoff for a score to help Palmerton gain a 24-13 Lehigh Valley League comeback victory over Lehighton. Trailing 13-0, Becker gets the Bombers on the board with a 19-yard scoring pass to Gus Guedes. Becker opens the second half by taking the kickoff 87 yards to the end zone to pull his team within a point. Later in the third quarter Mike Kuba intercepts a pass and Palmerton takes advantage by driving for the go-ahead score on Becker’s 17-yard TD pass to Pete Steigerwalt. Connie Rehrig adds an insurance tally in the final frame on a 6-yard run.
