State Second,
Lehigh Third
Tom Sculley and Terry DeStito
won individual titles as Lehigh
placed seven men in the 70th
annual EIWA Tournament last
week at the Naval Academy,
Annapolis, Md.
Navy took team honors away
from Penn State, 135 points to
113%, while Lehigh finished a
strong third with 109.
DeStito gained the Fletcher
Award which goes annually to the
star who has accumulated the
most career points for his team in
tournament competition.
Penn State's John Fritz, who
edged Mike Frick of Lehigh for
the 126-pound championship, was
voted Most Outstanding Wrestler
honors by coaches of the competing teams. Frick won this
trophy in 1973.
George Bryant of Pittsburgh,
champion at 118, took the
Sheridan award for most falls in
the least time. He had three in
11:14 along with a thrilling semifinal decision over Bobby Sloand
of Lehigh, 13-11.
Mrs. Billy Sheridan, widow of
the great  Lehigh  coach  after
"TOM SCULLEY
whom the award is named, made
the presentation to Bryant.
Others with three falls, but
requiring more time than the
Panther leadoff man, were Glenn
Terry Wins
Fletcher Cup
Grant and Sculley of Lehigh, and
Dan Muthler of Navy.
Sculley had a chance to take
the award with a fourth pin, in the
finals at 134, but had to be content
with an 8-4 decision over Fred
Hahndorf of Navy.
He was taken down by the
Middie contender in the first
period but reversed, moved
ahead with an escape early in the
second stanza and added a
takedown of his own. In the final
chapter he had another
takedown, around two escapes,
and time for a decisive margin.
He'll take a 21-0-1 record into
TERRY DeSTITO
the  Nationals  at Ames,  Iowa,
March 14.
DeStito became the second
straight junior to gain the
Fletcher   trophy.   Heavyweight

Mike Frick
Tim Karpoff of Yale won in 1973
but became ineligible for consideration this season when he
failed to take title honors at his
weight.
To retain the trophy in 1975,
DeStito will have to go all the way
again.
DeStito, only man to beat
freshman Jerry White of Penn
State prior to the tournament,
had an easier time Saturday.
White, who injured an ankle in
the semis, defaulted at 4:35 with
DeStito ahead of him 7-0.
Terry took him down and put
him on his back early, for a 4-0
advantage, reversed starting the
second period and was given a
penalty point as White was
charged with stalling before
Coach Bill Koll of the Lions called
a halt to the bout.
The Frick-Fritz rematch,
anxiously awaited by everyone,
found the Lion ace becoming the
first man ever to beat Frick more
than once, 8-6, in their 126-pound
finale.
