Skaters Rout Villanova,
Clinch Loop Championship
Lehigh clinched the 1968-69
Middle Atlantic Hockey League
championship early last week
with a 15-3 rout of Villanova on
the losers' ice.
It was the seventh loop triumph
for Coach Bill Riley's skaters in
seven tries. Two of them are over
second-place R'ltgers, the
defending champion.
In a second outing the Brown
and White bowed to visiting
Nathaniel Hawthorne College of
New Hampshire, 7-4. This was
a non-league test.
Pete DesMeules, Phil Tredway
and Paul Guilfoyle scored three
times apiece against the
Wildcats. Jeff Frey and Steve
Hoerner each had two goals with
Bob Wareham and Bob Smith
each netting one.
Lehigh flashed to an 8-0
advantage before Villanova
scored. The Engineers then
padded   their   margin   to  14-1.
DesMeules, in addition to
three goals, picked up three
assists against the Wildcats for
a 6 point performance. Tredway
and Frey had two assists apiece.
Larry Co mo and Tom West
each scored a pair of goals to
lead Hawthorne College.
Como gave the visitors an
initial lead, then after Engineer
Steve Hoerner tied the game at
1-all, Steve Suchareweicz put
Hawthorne ahead to stay.

Additional TV Scheduled
For Wrestling Attractions
Lehigh wrestlers, who already
enjoy more television exposure
than any collegiate mat squad in
the nation, are receiving
additional attention as WQLN,
Channel 54, of Erie, Pa., offers
delayed tape viewings of Engineer
meets against the Naval Academy
and Pittsburgh.
The Lehigh-Navy meet,
wrestled Feb. 8, was shown
Friday (Feb. 14) on WQLN. The
Lehigh - Pittsburgh attraction,
scheduled for March 8 at Lehigh,
will be featured Friday on the
Erie TV outlet, March 14. Air-
time is 10 p.m. according toSam
Connor, director of public
information at Lehigh,
' WLVT-TV, Channel 39, of
Bethlehem,   Pa.,   the     Lehigh
Valley's educational outlet,
originates these attractions with
station manager Shel Siegel and
Larry Sheridan, veteran
wrestling official and broadcaster, describing the action.
Channel 39 is showingfour Lehigh
meets this season on a delayed
tape basis.
Twin-County Cable Television
Inc., of Northampton, Pa., offered
Lehigh's other two home meets
completing arrangements which
resulted in every Engineer dual
in Grace Hall becoming a home
television feature. In addition
Channel 39 provides closed-
circuit TV to an upper floor,
at Grace Hall, at four meets to
accomodate an overflow of
spectators.
Lehigh basketball fans enjoyed
their biggest night of the season
when Lafayette came to Grace
Hall.
Engineer freshmen whipped
a highly-touted group of Leopard
Cubs, 83-67, and the varsity
handled its visiting rivals with
even greater ease, 81-59.
Bob Fortune, named all-East
one day earlier for brilliant
performances against Bucknell,
N.Y.U. and Gettysburg, picked up
the tempo against Lafayette with
a game high of 24 points and a
team high of 13 rebounds.
Later in the week the frosh
(14-4) continued to roll at the
expense of Bucknell, 74-67, while
the varsity bowed to the revenge-
minded Bisons, 102-73. Lehigh
upset Bucknell in overtime at
Grace Hall earlier in the
campaign. It was the eighth
straight triumph for the
freshmen.
In the Lafayette varsity
encounter the Brown and White
took charge early and coasted
almost the entire route.
Coach Roy Heckman's
aggressive squad gave away size
but still managed to out-rebound
the Leopards although Frank
Babic, the No. 2 board man
behind Fortune, left midway
through the first half with an
ankle injury,
Lehigh cut loose with a 19-3
outburst, largely on the efforts
of Fortune, Johnny Waters, Ken
Etra and Scott Beeten, to smother
the Leopards under a 34-14 score
with 3:15 remaining in the half.
It was 36-18 at the intermission.
Lafayette, completely upset by
Lehigh's hustling man-to-man
defense, ball-hawking and a
sticky full-court press, could
make only four field goals over
the first 20 minutes.
The Leopards showed signs of
a comeback at the start of the
second half, slicing their deficit
to 13 at 38-25, but Fortune
stemmed the tide with a pusher
and two free throws and Waters
added a three-point maneuver.
It was 49-30 after Ted Bayer
and Bob Bonow each sank a pair
of free throws and the Engineers
once again were rolling along with
little difficulty.
Lehigh's lead returned to 20
points at 77-57 and, after two
Leopard foul conversions, the
Engineers finished strong with a
pair of rapid-fire baskets by Art
Schiel and Beeten.
Action was heated at times and
52 personal  fouls  were called.
Lehigh  converted 35 of 42 free
throws and Lafayette made 25 of
