A record triumph by Don
McCorkel, and a fifth straight fall
by super freshman Mike Brown,
weren't enough to overcome
early reversals Saturday as Penn
State wrestlers upset Lehigh
before 6,300 fans in Rec Hall, 18-
17.
The Nittany Lions (8-1) broke
through the Engineers early and
hung on to hand Lehigh its third
loss against 11 triumphs.
McCorkel, competing at 190
and needing a superior decision
or a fall over Bill Bertrand to
keep Lehigh hopes alive, had to
settle for a routine 5-2 victory.
This sent the teams into the
final bout, at heavyweight, with
Penn State ahead 18-11 and the
meet wrapped up. Brown
polished off gigantic Irv Pankey
in 5:56 but the six points he added
to the Lehigh score weren't
enough.
It did give the Bethlehem
freshman his fifth fall in a row as
he challenges a Lehigh pinning
mark of six straight set by Hall of
Famer Eddie Eichelberger in the
1955-56 campaign.
McCorkel, a senior from
Hershey, Pa., registered his 55th
regular-season triumph and this
tops a Lehigh record of 54 held by
Mike Frick.
Too many of Lehigh's Solid Six
failed to win and this doomed the
Engineers as they battled for
their first Rec Hall victory since
1965.
Lance Leonhardt was upset at
126 by Ray Frantz, 8-7. Bob
Sloand of Landing, N. J., was held

Brown Sets
Point Record
Lehigh's surging basketball
team won the game it needed to
win Saturday night, upsetting
Delaware 85-82 to stay in the
thick of the race for western
division honors in the East Coast
Conference.
The victory, before an enthusiastic crowd of rooters in
Grace Hall, completed another
fine week for the Engineers in
which they defeated Muhlenberg,
68-60, and dropped an ECC test to
Lafayette, 91-80, before bouncing
back to stun the Blue Hens.
Delaware toppled out of a first-
place tie in the conference
scramble as Lehigh, avenging a
73-69 loss at Newark, Del., Jan.
26, turned in one of its finest
performances in years. The
Engineers jumped off to a
sizeable lead, fought off several
Delaware counter-attacks in the
second half, and won impressively.
Coach Brian Hill's young squad
shot 54 per cent from the floor,
canning 35 of 64 field goal attempts, with a well-balanced
offense led by junior forward Ray
Green of Washington, D.C., 17
points and 10 rebounds; junior
guard Ken Clifford of Scotch
Plains, N.J., 16 points, forward
Jeff Vandemark of Mahwaw,
N.J., 12 points, and sophomore
guard Bill Griffin of Scotch
Plains, N.J., 11 points.
Vandemark is one of three
freshmen Hill's using off the
bench with excellent results. The
others are guard Frank Hillman
of Montclair, N.J., eight points
against the Hens, and forward
Brian Camperson of Haddonfield,
N.J., six points.
Rounding out Lehigh's top
eight are starting center Paul
Brandenburg, of Iselin, N.J., and
forward Charlie Brown of
Morristown, N.J., senior co-
captains.
Brown, the team's seasonal
scoring leader, was held to only
seven points by Delaware but he
