Highly - favored Penn State
could win only six of 10 bouts
Saturday night, but tied two
others enroute to a 26-10 victory over Lehigh before 3,000
spectators in Grace Hall
Co-captains Herb Campbell
of Montclair, N.J., and Tom
Hutchinson of LaGrange, 111.,
were the Lehigh victors. Greg
Karabin and Jim Richie, both
of Bethlehem, Pa., had the
stalemates.
Campbell disposed of Mike
Mousetis at 150 pounds, 8-0.
Hutchinson downed unbeaten
Tom Hartzfeld at 190-pounds,
5-2. Richie (126) tied John
Fritz, 1-1, and Karabin (158)
finished in a 2-2 knot against
Al Snellman.
The worst snowfall of the
winter failed to dampen the
enthusiasm of Lehigh's hardy
fans as a capacity crowd found
its way up the side of South
Mountain to the arena. A preliminary JV meet, against West
Chester, was canceled when
the Rams were unable to make
the trip because of the weather.
It was the final dual meet
of the season for each team.
The Nittany Lions finished 12-0
and Lehigh was 7-5-1. It was
the Engineers' 20th straight
winning campaign. They haven't
had a losing year since 1945.
Eight wrestlers who attended
high school in Lehigh Valley
schools were on the mat. The
two head - to - head confrontations between Liberty's Fritz
and Richie, and Freedom's
Snellman and Bethlehem Catholic's Karabin ended in the
draws.
Penn State's Barry Snyder of
Easton scored an impressive
win at 142, while Lehigh's Randy
Biggs (118) of Freedom, Tom
Sculley (134) of Becahi and
Mike Danjczek of Notre Dame,
all lost their bouts.
Biggs was a 4-2 victim of
freshman Tom Teagarden, who
has lost only to Navy's defending eastern champ Tom Schuler.
Using his muscle to advantage
Teagarden scored a first
period takedown and second
round reversal, while Biggs
managed   a   pair   of escapes.
Sculley gave up a pair of
near-falls at the beginning of
the second period to Bob
Medina.
Medina, who is unbeaten, also
had a predicament, three takedowns and a reversal for an
18-5 win.
Snyder, who has lost only to
Navy's Eastern champ Lloyd
Keaser, had a takedown and
reversal for a 4-0 lead over
Jeff ~ Duke at the start of the
third round and added a takedown before swapping reversals
in the third for an 8-3 victory.

EIWA Tourney To Start
Friday On Temple Mats
The Eastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association Championships takes place at
Temple University's McGonigle
Hall Friday and Saturday, Feb.
25-26, with six 1971 champions
defending titles.
In all, 17 men who placed in
last year's tourney are eligible
to compete in the 68th edition
of the  EIWA  event.
Friday's schedule has preliminary bouts beginning at 1 p.m.
with   quarter-finals   at   8  p.m.
Semi-finals start Saturday at
noon with consolations finals
beginning at 6 p.m. Title bouts
will be at 9 p.m.
These are new times for
Saturday afternoon and evening
events. Al Shrier, director of

Norm Liedtke, of Verona,
N. J., pumped home a one
hander from the foul stripe area
with six seconds to play Saturday, giving Lehigh's basket-
bailers a stunning 67-66 victory
over Delaware at Neward, Del.
The loss dropped the highly
favored Blue Hens into second
place in the tight Middle Atlantic
Conference western section
race with a 6-2 record against
Rider's 7-2 mark.
It also gave Lafayette (4-3 in
the race) an extra life in its
bid to overhaul Delaware and
gain a playoff berth. The Leopards and Hens still have a game
to play in Easton.
Earlier in the week, in a
non - conference game, Lehigh
played well against a very tough
and talented George Washington
1    quintet_ln Grace Hall, bowing
84-74.
Lehigh freshmen also were
in action twice. They hung one
on Lehigh County Community
College as preliminary to the
Lehigh -GW contest, 100-83,
and then caught one at Delaware
losing 122-75. The game at
Delaware was played following
the varsity upset and the Hens
were in no mood to be charitable.
In that varsity thriller, one
of Lehigh's biggest triumphs
of the season, the Engineers
(8-13 overall and 3-6 in the
league) were paced by big men
Hank Wisniewski of Rochelle
Park, N. J., and Greg Falkenbach of Bethlehem, Pa., along
with Liedtke, the playmaking
guard.
Wisniewski and Falkenbach
each canned 17 points to take

200-individual medley in 2:10.5
and both were members of the
winning 400-medley relay team.
Paul Glauszka figured in three
wins for Lafayette. He took the
50-freestyle in 22.7 seconds, the
100-freestyle in 50.6 and was a
member of the winning400-freestyle relay team.
Lehigh is now 8-3 and Lafayette
4-8.
This was an All-Sports Trophy
contest, giving Lehigh a 4-1 lead
over the Leopards.
MacGregor set pool and school
records in the 200 and 500-yard
freestyle events but couldn't prevent visiting LaSalle from winning 61-52 over the Engineers.
MacGregor was clocked in
1:48.6 in the 200 and 5:00.2 in
the 500 for Jacobs Pool and
Lehigh records. He also was a
member of the winning 400-free-

the play away from Wolfgang
Fengler, Delaware's top board
man, who had nine.
Liedtke, who brings the ball
upcourt for the Engineers, had
one of his better scoring efforts
with 11-points. His final bucket
of the afternoon was the back-
breaker for the Hens. He got
free near the foul line, with
six seconds remaining, and
stuck a jumper through the nets
to close out the scoring.
The contest was very close
all the way. Delaware, which
had whipped the Engineers
83-64 in Bethlehem during
December, couldn't continue the
romp although playing at home
before a friendly audience.
A rebound by Falkenbach sent
Lehigh ahead as the second-half
started,      35-34,     but     Lee
Sway^e's long basket regained _
the edge for Delaware.
It went that way almost the
entire half with the Hens enjoying the biggest margin at
three points, 60-57, with 5:18
remaining.
Larry Summer, of Plainview,
N.Y., took care of that with
a three-point maneuver on a
rebound and free throw.
Swayze's layup gave Delaware a 65-65 stalemate with
41-seconds left and he came
back with a foul conversion to
give the Hens a 66-65 margin
at the 24-second mark. Liedtke
did the rest, for Lehigh, with
his winning shot.
The score was knotted at 38,
40,42,44,46,48,50,60,62 and 65
during the  exciting final half.
Lehigh played the contest with
only 10 turnovers and led in
the vital rebounding department
36-32. Falkenbach had 12 off
the boards and Wisniewski
added 11.
Fifty-five years and 26|min-
utes is a long time to wait, but
that's just about how long it
took George Washington to beat
Lehigh.
The quintet from the National
Capital finally made the grade
by breaking open a taut court
duel early in the second half.
It was only the third meeting
between the schools with Lehigh
the winner of two prior games
more than a half-century ago,
45-15 in the 1913-14 season
and 50-17 in 1916-17.
Lehigh coach Liz Heckman
started with a somewhat revamped lineup going with 6-9
Fred Bechtel, who has been
used quite sparingly this winter,
and Konrad Reybitz, a Bethlehem lad who had seen action
in only two earlier ball games.
It paid off for a while, as
a matter of fact right up to
the 13:30 mark in the second half
when George Washington roared
into a  52-41 lead by shooting
