Team Again
Tops .500
For Season
A pair of hot shooting performances by 6-8 Hank Wisniewski
of Rochelle Park, N.J., paced
Lehigh's basketball team to
victories at Elizabethtown and
Drexel last week as the Engineers once again climbed above
the .500 mark.
The former Paramus Catholic
H.S. star shared laurels in the
double win with Dick Zelickson of
Allentown, Pa., and Larry
Summer of Plainview, N.Y., as
Lehigh topped E-town College,
96-86, and Drox€l,-74'^2.—
Wisniewski was the scoring
leader in each contest with 29
against E-town and 17 against
the Dragons in Philadelphia.
Zelickson had 25 in the E-town
victory and 14 against Drexel.
Summer, whose three-point
play at the buzzer beat Gettysburg
earlier in the season, 81-80,
came through in the final second
again with a tie-breaking jumper
from the key at Drexel.
The triumphs gave the Engineers a 4-and-3 seasonal mark.
With Wisniewski popping in
nine of the first 13 points, the
Engineers bolted into an early
21-10 lead at E-town, and
bolstered that to 46-29 by half-
time.
Zelickson did most of his
damage to the Jays by hitting
on 10 of 14 shots early in the
second half.
Other Engineers in double
figures were Summer with 16
and Mike Drew of Hillside, N.J.,
and Terry Martin of Cliff side
Park, N. J., with a dozen apiece.
Wisniewski also led all re-
bounders with 13.
E li zabethtown posted three
men in twin digits, Don Woodard
with 19, John Brien 17, and Bob
Frymoyer 13.
The Lehigh frosh had even less
trouble with their E-town foe,
winning 111-59 as Ray Miklos
of Sayreville, N.J., had 22 and
Paul Hartzell of Bloomsburg,
Pa., added 17.
Drexel, which trailed by 17
points with 15 minutes left in
the  game, went  to a full-court

Coach's Comments
"We seemed to snap out of
our shooting slump against
E-town and Drexel, and it's good
to be above .500 again. Now
we're getting ready for a
southern trip and the Hatter
Tournament Jan. 3-4 in Florida."

Chuck O'Loughlin of Silver
Spring, Md., and Al MacGregor
of Edison, N.J., paced Lehigh's
undefeated and untied swimmers
to a pair of impressive triumphs
last week.
The Engineers dunked Fordham, 71-42, at New York, and
came back with a 58-55 victory
over visiting Syracuse to run
their winning streak to five.
"Beating Syracuse has to be
the biggest achieve ment in Lehigh
swimming history," says coach
Roy Nichols, a former All
American diver at Rutgers and
a native of Plainfield, N.J.
Lehigh's next test won't be
until Jan. 25 when Nichols takes
his high-flying charges into
Florida for a meet against the
University of Miami.
In the Syracuse triumph, O'Loughlin was timed in 2:06 in
the 200 individual medley and
MacGregor in 2:02.6 in the 200
butterfly, both Lehigh records.
MacGregor then joined teammates Ken LeFevre, Bob Sine
and Charlie Sultzer to set a pool
record (home) of 3:18.3 in the
400 freestyle relay.
At Fordham it was much the
same story. MacGregor set a
Fordham pool record with a
5:10.2 clocking in the 500-yard
freestyle and also won the 200
individual medley. O'Loughlin
won the 200-yard breaststroke.
MacGregor and O'Loughlin
also swam on both Lehigh winning
relay teams.

Coach's Comments
"That Syracuse meet was one
of the greatest I've ever seen.
It went right down to the wire
and our swimmers were able to
finish on top. The big men
continue to win, and set records,
and they're getting strong
support.". . . Roy Nichols,
