Cagers Outscore Rider
In Finale; 33 For Hank
Hank Wisniewski completed
his excellent basketball career at
Lehigh with a 33-point outburst as
the Engineers turned back
visiting Rider in an MAC West
battle, 80-74.
Earlier in the week Lehigh
dropped a second heartbreaker to
Lafayette, 52-51, outscoring the
Leopards for the second time in
field goals only to lose from the
free throw line.
Coach Tom Pugliese, in his
first season, directed the
Engineers to an 8-and-17 mark
with seven of those defeats
coming by margins of six points
or less.
Wisniewski, of Rochelle Park,
N.Y., bid farewell to the
collegiate scene with 1,084 points
and the No. 4 spot on Lehigh's all-
time scoring list. Bob Fortune
has the record of 1,242 followed
by Norm Brandl with 1,231 and
Johnny Waters with 1,099.
Big Hank was named Player of
The Week in the MAC West
following 48 points a week earlier
in appearances against Gettysburg and Bucknell. Kermit
Washington of American
University, was honored in the
MAC East over the same period.
Lehigh never had the Rider
game on ice and it took accurate
foul shooting to keep the Broncos
in the loss column.
After the opening minutes of
play Lehigh came from behind,
never to lose its lead, but there
were anxious moments.
They saw a 14-point margin in
the beginning of the second half
melt away and the Broncos pull
within two points 48-46 with 10
minutes to go.
Under this threat Wisniewski
hit on a three-point play and then
a few seconds later hit on another
field goal and two foul shots.
The Engineers kept Rider at a
three-to-five point disadvantage
in the closing four minutes of
play.
With time running out Rider
needed the ball and had to foul to
force a turnover.
They chose to foul Norm
Liedtke and Terry Martin,
Liedtke came through by pumping in four of six from the

Trackmen
Undefeated
Lehigh ended an undefeated indoor track
schedule with a tie for first
place against East
Stroudsburg in a triangular
test. Lafayette was third.
The Engineers and ESSC
each totaled 50 and one-
third points and the
Leopards had 36 and one-
third on the East Stroudsburg track.
A sweep in the shot put
gave Lehigh a big boost.
Steve Bigach was the
winner followed by Brian
Derwin, Jim Abeltin and
Bruce Pohlot in that order.
Bigach, of Barberton, O.,
did 51-6V2.
Wayne Rogers of
Poughkeepsie, N.Y., took
the mile in 4:18.7 and Tim
Steele of Denville, N.J.,
grabbed the two-mile in
9:20.5. Each placed second
in the other event. Randy
Hull of Hagerstown, Md.,
won the 440 in 51.3,
breaking his own Lehigh
record.
Coach John Covert's
strong distance running
corps also took the mile
and two-mile relays.

coaches joined Lehigh fans Saturday night in
declaring Mike Frick, of the Engineers, the
best matman in the EIWA championship
tournament at Pittsburgh.
Frick, only a freshman, hammered Tom
Teagarden of Penn State 6-0 in overtime-
after an 8-8 scramble—to walk off with the 118-
pound title before 3,600 wildly screaming
spectators.
Teagarden, a sophomore who
also was a runnerup in the 1972
tournament, had beaten Frick
one week earlier in a dual meet,
11-6, and rooters of both schools
had anxiously awaited this
rematch.
Lehigh backers who had
conceded team honors to State at
the outset of the two-day tournament, centered their attention
on three title-round bouts against
the Lions.
Frick's momentous victory
came in the first of this trio of
super-matches and just a little
while later, at 134 pounds, Tom
Sculley of the Engineers avenged
a dual meet defeat with an
overtime triumph over Bob
Medina, 2-0. Like Frick and
Teagarden, they battled to a wild
MRS. BILLY SHERIDAN with Bob Sacavage, of Columbia, winner of
the 1973 Sheridan Trophy for the most falls.
8-£ draw in regulation time.
The Nittany Lions salvaged the
third test as freshman Jerry
Villecco came from behind to
outlast Terry DeStito at 167
pounds, 7-4. They had gone 9-9 in
a dual clash one week earlier.
Lehigh rooters headed for
home feeling that two out of three
against the Lions, in the championship round, and the Most
Outstanding Wrestler award,
more than compensated for State
taking team laurels with 117V2
points.
Navy placed second with 91V2
and Lehigh gained third spot for
the sixth straight year with 78V2.
Pittsburgh staged a strong
challenge for the No. 3 berth,
collecting 76 points, but the Frick
and Sculley triumphs proved too
much for the Panthers.
Coaches of the 16-member
association voted Frick the Most
Outstanding Wrestler trophy,
first time it's ever gone to a
freshman, and the noisy crowd-
composed chiefly of Lehigh
fans—accorded the little rookie
from Hamburg, N.J., his second
standing ovation of the night.
Heavyweight champion Tim
Karpoff, of Yale, won the Fletcher Award which goes to the
man accumulating the most
career points for his team in
EIWA tournament action. He's
only a junior and in 1972 he was
the runnerup to Dave Joyner of
Penn State.
Bob Sacavage of Columbia,
fourth at 167, gained the Sheridan
Award going to the man with the
most falls. He had three. Mrs.
Billy Sheridan, widow of the
great coach who guided Lehigh
teams from 1912 through 1952,
made the presentation.
Villecco of State was joined in
the winners' circle by teammates
Johnny Fritz, 126, Barry Snyder,
142, and Dan Brenneman, 177.
Navy  champions  were  Ross
Chaffin at 150 and Bob Hartman
