3 Contests
Lehigh University's basket-
bailers, who opened their season
stunning LaSalle in the Penn
Palestra, 69-64, and followed
with a 61-60 triumph at Gettysburg, fell into a slump last week.
The Engineers dropped
contests to Bucknell, 78-69, Colgate, 102-91 and Delaware 84-64,
Coach Roy Heckman's charges
hosted Bucknell in their first
home start of the campaign. They
moved out front during the first
half, 22-17, but trailed at the
intermission and never caught up
although the Bisons' advantage
was only 52-49 with 10;50 remaining.
Bucknell was red hot in the
second-half, scoring 16 field
goals on 19 tries. Many of them
were layups as the Bisons broke
free from a pressing Engineer
defense.
Hank Wisniewski of Rochelle
Park, N.J., led Lehigh against
Bucknell with 19-points and 17
rebounds.
In a preliminary contest the
Lehigh frosh outscored Somerset
County, N.J., Community College

Coach's Comments
"We shot well only in the
second half of the Colgate game.
Otherwise the team seems to be
in a shooting slump, I think we
have a couple of good shooters,
though, and I think we'll snap out
of it,Tt , , , Roy Heckman, basketball.

since 1961,
Hill, 6-2 and 230 pounds,
reached the pinnacle when
Associated Press selected him
on its 1971 College Division All-
American first team.
Other Lehigh men accorded
honors this year included fullback Jack Rizzo of Weston,
Mass., defensive end Mike
Impink of Reading, Pa,, quarterback Kim McQuilken of Allentown, Pa,, linebacker Blake
Johnstone of Mountainside, N.J.,
safetyman Mark Mitravich of
Dubois, Pa., and split end John
Aylsworth of Huntington Valley,
Pa.
Hill, a pre-season All-
American choice in Playboy and
Game Plan national magazines
and mentioned in a New York
Times feature on possible
Heisman Trophy candidates,
lived up to all expectations and
is regarded as a probable early
round   professional   draft  pick.
The pro scouts will get another
look at him Dec, 31 when he
plays in the East-West Shrine
game at San Francisco, Calif.
No other Lehigh lineman ever
was selected to play in this
contest.

Each Boasts Perfect Record
After First 3 Meets Of Year
Freshman Terry DeStito of
Enola , Pa., and senior Tom
Hutchinson of LaGrange, 111.,
pace Lehigh University wrestlers
at this early stage of the season.
Each  has  a  perfect   3-0 mark.
They were double winners last
week as the Engineers whipped
Cornell, 30-3, after being held
to a 16-16 draw at the University
of Maryland.
Freshman Jeff Duke of Lancaster, Pa., turned in a big
victory over Cornell veteran
Glenn Wanck in their 142-pound
bout, 8-6, after being upset two
nights earlier by Russ Reid of
Maryland, 4-0. Duke has won
twice in three outings.
Still another freshman, 150
pounder Dante Caprio of Livingston, N.J,, got into action as a
replacement for injured veteran
Herb Campbell and reeled off
a pair of impressive victories.
The former N.J, state champion
whipped Dave Strauss of Maryland, 10-3, and Dale Porter
of Cornell, 4-3.
Lehigh had no difficulty at
Cornell last Saturday after
leadoff grappler Marty Lynn
dropped the opening bout. Coach
Thad Turner's squad won the
nine    matches    which    followed
Coach's Comments
"I think the quadrangular
tournament will give us a true
line on our potential. So far
we've fared pretty well considering there are a lot of new
men out there. It isn't easy
stepping right from high school
into college varsity competition," , . . Thad Turner,

Quadrangular Mat Tourney
At LU Friday, Saturday
One of the strongest fields ever
assembled for a quadrangular
wrestling tournament at Lehigh
will be on hand Friday and
Saturday (Dec. 17-18) in Grace
Hall.
Oregon State, 18-2-2 last year
and fourth in the Nationals,
Pittsburgh and Indiana State, the
latter arriving from Terre Haute,
Ind., will join Lehigh in the two-
night matfest expected to attract
capacity audiences.
Gerry Leeman, former head
coach of the Engineers and now
director of special sports events
at Lehigh, is in charge of the
tournament. Competition begins
at 7 p.m, each night following a
blind draw for first-round
opponents.
This   will be   the   third  such
tourney hosted by Lehigh, long a
citadel of eastern intercollegiate
wrestling, in three years.
Two seasons ago Oklahoma
won with 83 points against 72
for Lehigh, 36 for East Stroudsburg and 25 for Springfield.
Last year Lehigh finished first
with 87 against 55 for Southern
Illinois, 52 for Wilkes and 43
for Maryland.
Early sentiment this winter
appears to favor Oregon State
but the Beavers certainly will
be pushed hard by Pitt, Indiana
State and host Lehigh.
Each team will enter a man
at each weight. Following weigh-
ins Friday at 2 p.m. the blind
draw  will be held to determine
