Sam Scott, a freshman from
Barbados in the West Indies,
made an auspicious start with
Lehigh's trackmen March 17
during an all-comers meet at
Carrollton, Ga.
He finished second in the 100
with a 9.7 to tie the Engineer
record for that event. Dave
Johnson of Troy State, Alabama,
won the race in 9.6 and Jimmy
Dutt, a Lehigh freshman from
Temple, Pa., placed fifth in 9.9.
The meet climaxed a week of
drills for the Engineers at West
Georgia College.
Jon Kilroy of Shaker Heights,
O., and Elliot Michael of
Millwood, N. Y., had firsts for
Coach John Covert's Lehigh
squad. Kilroy took the 880 in
1:58.2 and Michael won the mile
in 4:20.8.
Jef Mitchell of Wayne, Pa., was
fourth in the 880 in two minutes
flat and Dave Koons of Oreland,
Pa., finished fifth in 2:00.8. In the
mile, behind Michael, were
Stellan Thoren of Sweden in 4:26
and Steve Thatcher of St. Paul,
Minn., in 4:30.6 good for second
and fourth places, respectively.
Jim Abeltin, of Pittsford, N. Y.,
took seconds in the shot (49-4)
and discus (149-1).
Mike Green of New York City,
placed fourth in the long jump
with a 21-3% try and Pete
Johnson of Darien, Conn., was
fourth in the triple jump with a

in the meet were hampered by
strong, gusty winds.

N. J., (184-5) and Otis Sinnott of
Bronxville, N. Y., (162-10) were
third and fifth, respectively, in

of Reading, Pa., was third in the
3-mile in 14:54.
Lehigh's mile relay team of
Koons (52.6), Thoren (52.4), Al
Dance of Brooklyn, N. Y., (49.9)
and Kilroy (50.3) was second in

Ace For Lehigh Golfer
John Coles, a sophomore from
Mt. Pleasant, Mich., fired a hole-
in-one during a 36-hole tryout
tournament conducted by Coach
Roy Heckman of the Lehigh golf
squad at Green Pond. He used a
seven iron for his ace on the 145-
yard, par-3 sixth hole. His total
was 81-75—156 for sixth place.
Tom Sine, Engineer co-captain
from Yardley, Pa., won the
tournament with a 75-73—148.
Seven Lehigh golfers, headed
by Coach Roy Heckman, spent
March 9-13 at Santee, S. C,
playing 36 practice holes a day
and participating in a match with
the University of South Carolina
(Conway) at Quail Creek. John
Coles of Mt. Pleasant, Mich., and
Joe Andriole of Hazleton, Pa.,
were low Lehigh medalists with
79s.
En route home the Engineers
played a match in Wilson, N. C,
against Lynchburg, Va., College,
North Carolina Wesleyan and
Atlantic Christian. Tom Porsch
of Grove City, Pa., led Lehigh
with a 74. Glenn Strow of Ambler,
Pa., and Kirk Houser of Cham-
bersburg, Pa., fired 76s.
In unofficial scoring the
Engineers defeated Lynchburg
and N. C. Wesleyan while losing
to South Carolina and Atlantic
Christian.
A spectacular performance by
undefeated Tom Sculley, at 134
pounds, highlighted Lehigh's
efforts in the 1974 NCAA
Wrestling Tournament at Ames,
Iowa, March 14-16.
Sculley won five bouts to take
title honors in his division,
becoming the Engineers' 12th
NCAA title-holder. Among them
they hold 15 crowns.
Lehigh grapplers performed
well in the Nationals, capturing
15 of 23 bouts.
Mike Frick, 126, of Hamburg,
N. J., finished fourth to join
Sculley on the 1974 All-America
squad, an honor which
automatically goes to place-
winners in the national tournament.   .
Sculley's route to the title included victories over Wayne
Jackson of Kansas St., 10-4, Mark
Sanderson of Brigham Young, 6-
3, Conrad Calender of Mich. St.,
7-6, Billy Davids of Michigan, 2-0,
and Jim Miller of Northern Iowa,
4-3. Miller had eliminated
defending champion Don Rohn of
Clarion in the semi-finals, 5-4.
Frick's title hopes vanished in
his second bout, against Bob
Antonacci of Iowa St., when he
was pinned during overtime
while leading 2-0. They battled to
a 5-5 draw in regulation time. The
Lehigh star then won four
straight consolation bouts before
dropping a 7-2 decision to John
Fritz of Penn St. for third place.
Frick boasts dual meet victories over both of the 126-pound
finalists, champion        Pat
Milkovich of Mich. St. and runnerup Billy Martin of Okla. St.
Other Lehigh entries were
Bobby Sloand of Landing, N. J.,
at 118, Terry DeStito of Enola,
Pa., at 177, Don McCorkel of
Hershey, Pa., at 190 and George
Barkanic, heavyweight from
Parryville, Pa. Sloand and
McCorkel, freshmen, split six
bouts.
In Sculley's title victory over
Miller the Engineer star broke
the scoring ice with a reversal 35
seconds into the second period.
Miller escaped but Sculley came
back with a takedown to lead 4-1
at the end of the stanza.
Miller escaped again after 30
seconds of the last period. With
half-a-minute to wrestle Sculley
was penalized a point for stalling
to make the final score 4-3.
"I wasn't backing off," said the
Lehigh champion. "I just wasn't
shooting. I'd say Miller was as
good as anybody I've wrestled
this year."
