join coach Fred Dunlap in Lambert Cup award ceremonies at New York. Engineers (7-3-1) won cup
for the third time.

Footballers
Kim McQuilken, Lehigh's
sensational quarterback, was
named last week to the
Associated Press first team
college division Ail-American
football team.
He's the second Engineer star
accorded this honor in the last
three seasons. John Hill, now a
tackle with the N.Y. Giants, was
the college division All-American
(Continued on Page 2)
Lehigh shared honors with
Penn State, Delaware and C.W.
Post last Thursday at the Hotel
Commodore, New York, during
Lambert football award
ceremonies.
The Engineers accepted the
Lambert Cup, which they share
with Delaware, as the East's
leading Division 2 football squad
for 1973.
Penn State received the
Lambert Trophy for supremacy
in Division 1 and Post was top
team in Division 3, gaining the
Lambert Bowl.
Coaches Fred Dunlap of
Lehigh, Joe Paterno of Penn
State,    Tubby    Raymond    of
Delaware and Dom Anile of Post
were among the speakers.
Co-captains Kim McQuilken
and Roger McFillin accepted the
trophy for Lehigh.
Lehigh won a coin toss against
Delaware for possession of the
cup for the first six months of the
year. Each team received a
plaque to retain permanently.
This was the third Lambert
Cup for the Engineers who also
finished on top in 1957 and 1961.
A sizeable delegation of Lehigh
alumni and friends was on hand
for the ceremony. At the head
table, along with Dunlap and his
co-captains, were director of
athletics Bill Leckonby and
trustee Ed Curtis.
Alleva, Addonizio Co-Captains
Quarterback Joe Alleva and
safetyman Jim Addonizio will
serve as Lehigh football co-
captains in 1974, succeeding
seniors Kim McQuilken and
Roger McFillin. ,
Their selection was announced
by coach Fred Dunlap Sunday at
a   special   party   tendered   the
squad by Globe-Times sports
editor Jack Collins at the
Brewery Tavern.
At the same time McQuilken,
record-setting All-American
quarterback, was named Most
Outstanding Player for 1973.
Alleva, the Engineers' regular
punter for two seasons  and a
"super-sub" quarterback behind
McQuilken, completed 28 of 37
passes this year for 412 yards and
three touchdowns. He averaged
34.7 as a punter.
Addonizio, a brilliant open-field
tackier who covers lots of ground
in the secondary, twice was
named to ECAC weekly all-star
teams.

Rally To Gain Verdicts
In Nassau Coliseum Meets
Oregon State and Michigan
State, two of the country's better
collegiate wrestling powers,
pulled out victories over Lehigh
Sunday in the first annual Nassau
County East-West Invitational
Tournament at the Nassau
Coliseum.
The Beavers, second in last
year's NCAA tourney, got a fall in
the final bout to survive, 18-17.
The Spartans also had a pin at
heavyweight for a 20-14 triumph.
Some 4,000 spectators, divided
equally between afternoon and
evening double-dual sessions,
watched the action.
In other meets Oregon State
downed Pittsburgh, 22-12, and
Michigan State trampled the
Panthers, 33-2.
Lehigh completed a hectic slate
of four dual tests in five days at
the Coliseum. Earlier in the week
the Engineers (3-2) battered
Princeton, 36-6, and ACC
champion Maryland, 25-8.
Tom Sculley, Mike Frick and
Kim Hagedorn were leaders in
the tough intersectional going,
each posting a pair of wins.
Tihamer Toth-Fejel won his only
bout, impressively, and Greg
Karabin had a victory and a
draw. Terry DeStito split a pair
of decisions.
The Engineers were 9-9-2
against Oregon State and
Michigan State but the lack of a
legitimate heavyweight proved
too much of a handicap.
Freshman Don McCorkel, of
Hummelstown, Pa., is a 190-
pounder filling in at the berth and
doing a fair job, but he's simply
not big enough for heavyweights
like Larry Avery of Michigan
State.
Avery, 230 pounds, decked him
in 6:50 to snap a 14-14 tie in the
afternoon meet. Beilinger, also a
freshman, weighs 210. He pulled
the Beavers from behind with a
fall in 5:38 with a roll from underneath that reminded veteran
Engineer followers of ex-Lehigh
star John Illengwarth who was
exceedingly dangerous starting a
period in the down position.
Lehigh won five bouts against
Oregon State, lost four, and had a
draw, but the Beavers won on the
strength of bonus points. Leadoff
man Tom Phillips,  a  national
runnerup last season, registered
a superior decision over freshman Bob Sloand, 16-5, for the first
extra point and Bellinger's pin
provided three more.
Mike Frick, 126, had the
program's most significant
Lehigh victory when he outpointed 1972 NCAA champion Pat
Milkovich of Michigan State, 2-0.
Milkovich was penalized a point
for stalling in the second period
and Frick later added an escape.
The Lehigh star's other victory
came over Oregon State's Bill
Dickson, 9-4.
Sculley took Don Rodgers of
Michigan State, 9-3, and Gordon
Iiams of Oregon State, 4-2, in 142-
pound bouts. The second victory
came on a reverse with only five
seconds left to wrestle.
Hagedorn, competing at 158,
edged Rick Greene of Michigan
State, 4-3, with a late takedown,
and polished off Steve Cochran of
Oregon State, 8-4.
Karabin, at 167, lost a 4-1 lead
and had to settle for a 4-4
stalemate with Jeff Hersha of
Michigan State before whipping
Roy Palm of Oregon State, 6-2.
Toth-Fejel, who didn't wrestle
in the afternoon, was a tiger
against Ron Boucher of Oregon
State in their 134-pound match,
rolling up a 12-4 verdict.
Boucher's takedown with 30
seconds left prevented a superior
decision.
DeStito disposed of Michigan
State's   Scott   Wickard   in   the
daytime test at  190  by a  7-3
margin  before  losing  to  Greg
