Recipients of Athletic Awards
Eastern College Athletic Conference
(ECAC) Award for scholarship and athletic
prowess—won by Bill Schlegel of Troy, N. Y.
Rev. Daniel Nolan Award to the most
outstanding freshman athlete—won by
Stellan Thoren of Vasteras, Sweden.
Robert E. Coates, Jr., Memorial Rifle
Trophy to the outstanding member of the

James P. McConlogue Memorial Award to
Baseballers 11-13-1
Three losses and a tie, in their
final four decisions, dropped
Lehigh baseballers below .500 for
the season at 11-13-1.
The Engineers had hoped to
string together four consecutive
winning years for the first time in
Lehigh diamond history but an 0-
6 start, this spring, proved too
much of a handicap.
Winning records had been
accomplished in 1971, 1972 and
1973.
The high point of the campaign
came against Lafayette in Taylor
Stadium when Lehigh stunned
the Leopards, 13-12. One day
earlier, in Easton, the Leopards
had recorded a 9-3 margin.
The triumph over Lafayette
lifted the Engineers above the
.500 level, at 11-10, but was to be
their last victory of the spring. A
loss to Fordham, two defeats at
the hands of Delaware and a 5-5,
10-inning draw at Scranton
completed the schedule.
Sophomore righthander Stan
Sterner,    of    Hanover,    Pa.,
Eight victories, against ||
fl   four losses, enabled Lehigh ||

Trophy in its annual battle II
§   against Lafayette.
emerged with 7-1 mound mark to
tie Joel Menzzopane for most
victories in one season. Menzzo
had a 7-2 record two years ago.
103-102.3
Sixteen Lehigh varsity sports
teams were in action during 1973-
74 seasons and they managed to
win 103 events while losing 102 to
squeeze above the .500 mark.
There were three ties.

Alleva In Spotlight
Joe Alleva of Suffern, N.Y., and
Larry Henshaw of Hammonton,
N. J., are early leaders in
unenviable efforts to replace
graduating All-America football
stars Kim McQuilken and Bill
Schlegel at Lehigh.
Alleva, a backup quarterback
last season who completed 28 of
37 passes for 412 yards and three
touchdowns and did Lehigh's
punting, continued his impressive play during recently-
completed spring practice. He's a
6-1,195-pounder who'll be a senior
next fall.
Henshaw, 6-3 and 195, is a
youngster coming up from an
undefeated 1973 freshman eleven.
