Wagner came from behind in
the second half Saturday to spoil
Lehigh's basketball debut, 72-58,
at Staten Island, N. Y.
Last Monday, Nov. 25, the
Engineers were outscored in an
exhibition game against the
Czechoslovakian National
Olympic Team in Grace Hall, 103-
81.
Coach Tom Pugliese's
sophomore-dominated squad
played well enough at Wagner to
lead at halftime, 38-35, but the
shooting went cold after the intermission. The Seahawks,
taking advantage of a prolonged
Lehigh lapse in marksmanship,
overcame a 40-35 deficit to jump
into a 62-50 lead and were never
headed.
Charley Brown, of Morristown,
N. J., paced Lehigh against the
Seahawks with 27 points. He had
12 of the Engineers' 26 field goals.
The Czechoslovakian team, on
a tour of the United States,
employed a tremendous heighth
advantage to take control of the
boards at the start and set the
tempo of the game. Some 1,200
spectators watched the contest.
Gordon B. Mowrer, mayor of
Bethlehem, and Dr. Deming
Lewis, Lehigh president, were on
hand to officially welcome the
Czech delegation.
Brown also was Lehigh's top
shooter in this game with 19
points.
Jiri Pospisil led the
Czechoslovakians with 21 points.

Maryland, E. Stroudsburg,
Southern III. Are Rivals
Six dual meets are scheduled in
Grace Hall at Lehigh this
weekend (Fri. and Sat., Dec. 6-7)
as the Engineers kick off their
1974-75 home wrestling schedule
with a quadrangular tournament
involving Maryland, Southern
Illinois and East Stroudsburg.
There will be sessions, with
simultaneous action on two mats,
at 7:30 p.m. Friday and at 2:30
p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday.
Lehigh opened its season
Tuesday (Dec. 3) with a dual test
against Wilkes College in Wilkes-
Barre, Pa. The perennially-
powerful Engineers, coached by
Thad Turner, are seeking their
23rd straight winning campaign.
Opening action Friday, in the
quad, matches Lehigh against
Southern Illinois while Maryland
faces East Stroudsburg.
Saturday afternoon it's Lehigh
vs East Stroudsburg and
Maryland vs Southern Illinois.
Saturday night's final session
has Lehigh tackling Maryland
while Southern Illinois takes on
East Stroudsburg.
Turner has a formidable squad
boasting a dozen lettermen and
he hopes to have all of them on
the mat, alternating grapplers at
several positions during the two-
day grind. Co-captains are
lightweight Mike Frick of
Hamburg, N. J., a 134-pounder,
and Terry DeStito of Enola, Pa.,
the defending Eastern Assn. 177-
pound champion listed at
heavyweight. He weighs 215.
Frick won Eastern Assn. honors
two years ago, as a freshman, at
118.
Other lettermen on the Lehigh
squad are 118-pounder Lance
Leonhardt, 126-pounders Mary
Lynn and Jim Richie, and 142-
pounder Pat Sculley, all of
Bethlehem, Pa.; 134-pounders
Bob Sloand of Landing, N. J., and
Tihamer Toth-Fejel of Cupertino,
Calif., 158-pounder Jeff Duke of
Lancaster, Pa., 177-pounders
Mike Lieberman of Allentown,
Pa., and Glenn Grant of
Maplewood, N. J., and 190-
pounder Don McCorkel of Hershey, Pa.
Leonhardt lettered two winters
ago as a freshman at the Naval
Academy and is returning to
action after sitting out a year
under the NCAA transfer-rule. He.
had a 7-9-2 mark in varsity
competition.
Only non-lettermen scheduled
to wrestle in the opener at Wilkes
were freshman 167-pounder Mark
Lieberman, of Allentown, Pa., a
winning veteran of national and
international AAU competition
and a three-time national prep
school champion at Blair
Academy, and 150-pounder Mark
Stauffer of Hummelstown, Pa.
Lieberman was the leading USA
grappler on an all-star team
which toured Europe last summer, winning all of his bouts
including one in Outer Mongolia.
