Upset Win Over Gettysburg
Helps Scramble MAC Race
Funny things happened
Saturday to teams on their way to
playoff spots in the Middle
Atlantic Conference's western
division.
Lafayette, Delaware, Gettysburg and Bucknell went into
action tied for first place and only
the Blue Hens survived a rash of
upsets.
Last-place Lehigh contributed
to the fun, stunning Gettysburg
68-66 at Grace Hall, while
Lafayette dropped a 60-58 verdict
to visiting Rider.
Delaware outlasted Bucknell in
double overtime, 91-83.
The victory climaxed a
frustrating week for the
Engineers who dropped an
earlier non-league thriller at
Muhlenberg, 73-72, and a conference decision at Rider, 69-63.
Saturday's results turned the
playoff battle into a free-for-all
scramble with every team, including Lehigh, still very much in
the running for the two playoff
berths which go to the western
section.
Delaware is on top with a 3-1
loop mark. Lafayette, Bucknell,
Gettysburg and Rider are all
locked one game behind at 2-2.
Lehigh, 1-3 in the league, is very
much alive.
The Engineers get a chance to
further scramble things
tomorrow (Wednesday, Feb. 7)
when they host Lafayette at
Grace Hall in a game to be
telecast for delayed showing by
WLVT-TV, Channel 39 of

Middies Take Final Bouts
For 21-15 Dual Triumph
Navy won the last two bouts of
a thrilling dual meet Saturday to
hand Lehigh grapplers their fifth
loss in 16 outings, 21-15, before a
capacity turnout of 3,000 spectators in Grace Hall.
The Engineers, who haven't
beaten the Middies since 1967, put
forth a valiant effort but the
defending Eastern Assn.
champions (8-4) managed to take
six of the 10 bouts.
It was a close scrap, so close
that one more takedown in the
heavyweight finale would've sent
the teams into the locker rooms
in an 18-18 draw. Freshman
George Barkanic couldn't get it,
though, against senior Mark
Salmen of the Naval Academy.
He dropped the bout, 6-5.
Each team benefited from
some particularly brilliant
performances.
Lehigh's top jobs were turned
in by Tom Sculley at 134, as he
pinned Fred Hahndorf in 4:23,
and Craig Reimer at 158 as he
upset Bob Hartman, 11-4.
Other Engineer victors were
superfrosh Mike Frick over
fellow freshman Lance
Leonhardt in their 118-pound
leadoff bout, 7-1, and Mike
Lieberman's 7-4 triumph over
Harold Loerch at 177.
Frick, of Hamburg, N.J.,
became the first Lehigh wrestler
ever to win more than 12 dual
meet bouts in a season. He has a
13-1 record with three duals left in
Lehigh's expanded schedule.
Engineer aces of the past never
had a chance to wrestle more
than 13 times in dual tests. Most
of them had only 12.
Navy's most impressive
winners were Dan Muthler at 142
over Kim Hagedorn, 11-3, and
Jeff Simons at 190 over Terry
DeStito, 11-4.
Other Middie wins were contributed by Ken Berger at 126
over Randy Biggs on a hotly-
disputed near-fall ruling by
referee Pascal Perri, 7-5, captain
Ross Chaffin on a 3:36 fall over
freshman Dan Santoro at 150,
John Christensen at 167 over
Glenn Grant, 9-5, and Salmen
over Barkanic at heavyweight.
Grant, a replacement for injured regular Bucky Dixon, did
well against Christensen but
couldn't match the Navy
veteran's efforts.
Perri's near-fall call against
Biggs, as the Lehigh senior at
tempted a rollout from underneath, brought a howl of
protest from the partisan Lehigh
crowd. It didn't seem too costly
early in the bout, as Berger
stepped out to a 5-0 lead, but
eventually it proved decisive as
Biggs rallied in the final period.
Coach Thad Turner, of Lehigh,
weighed both Leiberman an
DeStito in at 177 prior to the meet
and sent Lieberman out at the
lighter weight against Loerch (3-
_ 4-1) -while saving DeStito for
Simons (9-1-1) in an attempt to
sweep the crucial 177 and 190
bouts.
DeStito, a runnerup at 167 last
year in the Easterns and a
regular competitor at 177 this
season, didn't have enough size
against Simons who wore him
down badly in the third session.
DeStito led 4-2 at one time but
was struggling to avert being
pinned at the finish.
This left it up to the
heavyweights and Salmen,
calling upon four years of experience on the Navy mats, had
just a little too much for his
freshman opponent.
Sculley, pressing Frick for the
team lead in victories, fell behind
4-1 against Hahndorf but rallied
