Matmen Sweep Midwestern Rivals;
Four Falls For Mark Lieberman
Team Boosts
75 Record
To 8-2-1
Five Lehigh wrestlers didn't
lose a bout last week as the
Engineers swept past four opponents on a midwestern tour.
Coach Thad Turner's highly-
ranked grapplers trounced Indiana, 33-6, Indiana State, 27-15,
John Carroll, 31-6, and Pittsburgh, 24-9.
This hiked their seasonal mark
to 8-2-1 and they have dual meets
this week against Bucknell,
Slippery Rock and Syracuse, the
last two weekend events in Grace
Hall.
Freshman Mark Lieberman, at
167 pounds, highlighted the 4-
meet midwestern sweep with
four falls.
Others posting four victories
were 118-pounder Lance
Leonhardt, 150-pounder Mike
Frick of Hamburg, N. J., 142-
pounder Pat Sculley, and
heavyweight Terry DeStito.
Leonhardt, a Bethlehem
wrestler who sat out last season
after transferring from the Naval
Academy, returned with the
leading individual record on the
team (10-0).
DeStito is 9-0, Frick 7-0, Sculley
9-1, Mark Lieberman 8-1, Mike
Lieberman 9-2 and Don McCorkel, of Hershey, Pa., 8-3.
Frick, EIWA 118-pound king
two years ago, weighed 145
during the trip and handled four
150-pounders impressively,
giving the team its first victories
of the season at that weight.
Mark Lieberman had a
spectacular journey with falls
over Tom Powell of Indiana
(3:38), Dee Campbell of Indiana
State (6:15), Ken Meditz of John
Carroll (4:55) and John Chatman
of Pitt (4:50).
Only Chatman, an experienced
veteran rated among the better
EIWA performers, gave him any
trouble. The Panther star went
for broke early, taking Mark
down, exchanging reversals and
then getting a near-fall for a 6-2
advantage.
The Engineer frosh ace
reversed again, before the first
period ended, escaped at the start
of the second and took Chatman
down for a 7-6 lead before flattening him with an arm tieup and
bothy „ press. Mark completely
dominated his earlier bouts.
Aside from Marty Lynn and
Tihamer Toth-Fejel, who lost,
only Frick had any difficulty at

Bloomington, Ind., against Coach
Doug Blubaugh's Hoosiers.
Frick, after leading
throughout, fell behind Dan Wiley
in their 150-pound scrap 5-4 and
needed a reversal in the final
half-minute to get the triumph.
Moving over to Terre Haute,
Ind., the Engineers encountered
a tough Indiana State
aggregation directed by Gray
Simons and this meet went 15-15
through the first eight bouts
before McCorkel and DeStito
settled the issue with falls.
Lehigh's margin of victory, 27-
15, was slightly better than Penn
State's showing against the
Sycamores at University Park, a
test won 22-11 by the Nittany
Lions.
John Carroll, at Cleveland, O.,
is a Division III wrestling power
which got in over its head against
the Engineers.
The Blue Streaks, coached by
Tony DeCarlo, won only at 134
and 158. They pushed a 6-foot, 360-
pounder,   Jo-jo   Bertelone,   out
against DeStito and the Lehigh
co-captain, scaling 212, was equal
to the task.
Terry handled him exactly the
way he upset 6-8, 330-pound Robin
Whisman   of   Iowa   State.   He

10-0 Record
sparred through a scoreless
opening period, escaped starting
the second, held his bigger opponent to the mat long enough for
a time point in the third, allowed
an escape and avoided trouble in
the final minute.
Roba, of Pitt, had a sizeable
height and weight advantage,
and more agility than Bertelone,
but DeStito's skills and experience led to a decisive 10-4
triumph.
Indiana threw a 190-pounder
against the Engineer
heavyweight and DeStito,
marking a rare occasion when he
had a weight advantage, polished
him off in just 1:29.
Baxter Brown of Indiana State,
6-5 and 235, was a formidable foe
who led briefly 4-3 in the second
period before DeStito reversed
him and got a fall at 4:09.
The undefeated Leonhardt had
his   most   trouble   with   Kevin
Nellis, a Pitt freshman with a lot
of stamina and potential. Lance

Bow 90-69
Yale fought off a Lehigh
counter-attack in the second half
Jan. 18 to turn back the
Engineers, 90-69, at New Haven,
Conn.
The Elis steadily built an 18-
point halftime advantage, 41-23,
before running into difficulty
after the intermission as Lehigh
retaliated on the shooting of Bill
Milligan and Ray Green.
Lehigh sliced its deficit to 10 at
67-57, with 4:57 remaining, but
couldn't get any closer.
Milligan, a sophomore from
Ramsey, N. J., netted 11 points in
the second half and 16 overall to
lead Lehigh while Green, a freshman from Washington, D. C,
tallied 12, all in the second half.
Gary Newman paced the Elis
with 29, getting 19 before half-
time.
