Six victories in eight games,
after an 0-4 start, pulled Lehigh
baseballers to the .500 mark.
Two of the wins, a 2-1 and 4-3
doubleheader sweep over
Bucknell last Saturday in near-
freezing temperatures and sub-
freezing winds at Taylor
Stadium, were East Coast
Conference prizes.
They put Coach Stan Schultz's
squad into an early tie for first

Hall had 144 and a team of
Barbados all-stars finished third
with 104.
The meet opened with Dave
Cope (32:49.2) and Mickey Yard-
is (33:07.8) running 1-2 for Lehigh
in the 10,000 meter run. Buddy
Jarrell (195-4) won the javelin on
his final throw with John Vargo

(57.6) were fourth and fifth in the
400-meter intermediate hurdles.

Dutt, Al Dance, Mike Green, and
Ron Williams ran 43.3 seconds for
third. Steve Bigach (48-6) and
Bill Roman (46-6) gave L.U. a 1-2
in the shot-put. The 1500-meter
run was a disappointment with
Stellan Thoren (3:54.7) third and
Wayne Rogers (4:01.0) fourth.
Thoren was jostled severely and
Rogers injured a groin muscle in
warm up. Green (22-6'/2) was
another disappointment with
third in the long jump with Dave
Stauffer (21-5) sixth.
R. Williams (48.8) posted a
fourth in the 400-meter dash with
Bob Williams (50.8) sixth. Dance

Win Twice
During Rout
Double winners Al Dance and
Stellan Thoren paced Lehigh to
victory in a quadrangular track
meet Apr. 5 in which the host
Engineers' score more than
doubled any of their opponents,
Trenton, East Stroudsburg and
Bloomsburg.
The wind played a factor in
many of the events. Dance took
first place in the 100 with a time
of 9.8. He followed this victory
with another in the 220 in the time
of 23.5.
Thoren won the 880 in 2:07.0
and the mile in 4:38.0. He also
placed third in the 3 mile.
A third double winner was Len
Jenkins of ESSC. Jenkins won the
long jump with a distance of 22-
2%. He copped the triple jump
with a distance of 45-10. '
The scores were Lehigh 83V2,
Trenton 35V2, ESSC 31V2 and
Bloomsburg 31V2.
The high jump and pole vault
were canceled due to wind
conditions.
