Trounce Columbia, Cornell;
Mike Lieberman, Team Set
Records For Most Victories
Lehigh hopes to make its
strongest showing since 1967 this
weekend in the 71st annual
Eastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Assn. tournament at
the Naval Academy.
The Engineers warmed up for
the tourney with a pair of easy
triumphs last week, 32-8 over
Columbia and 35-9 over Cornell.
These victories enabled them
to gain ranking as the "win-
ningest" dual meet team in
Lehigh wrestling history, with a
16-2-2 finish, topping a record of
14 established one year ago.
Coach Thad" Turner used only
two of his Solid Seven in both
outings and one of them, Mike
Lieberman, registered the pair of
triumphs he needed to set a team
standard of 18 dual meet wins in
one year.
NCAA champion Tom Sculley,
Mike Frick and Terry DeStito
shared the old record of 17.
Mike Lieberman ended a
brilliant 18-2 dual campaign with
one-sided superior decisions over
Matt Peckham of Columbia and
John Palladino of Cornell. He ran
up a 13-2 tally against Peckham
and a 14-0 margin over Palladino.
The only other Solid Seven
performer to work in both meets
was Mike Frick and he managed
his first falls of the season, 5:39
over Dave Vitiello of Columbia
and 4:46 over Kevin Lillehei of
Cornell.
Marty Lynn, Nils Deacon and
Armin Vaihinger, scheduled to
fill out the Lehigh tournament
lineup, had a good week in which
each managed to reach or sur
pass the .500 mark for the season.
Lynn (8-5-3) whipped Jerry
Reid of Columbia, 16-0, and Bill
Ruoff of Cornell, 7-2.
Deacon (9-8) climbed to the
right side of the ledger with
triumphs over Tom Wagner of
Columbia, 6-2, and Steve Locke of
Cornell, 10-3.
Vaihinger (2-2-2) returned to
action after a leg injury with a 13-
13 draw against Tom McLaren of
