No Spring Finale
For Grid Squad
Pts.
The Lehigh football squad,
forced indoors for practice
because of the . inclement
weather, ends its spring session
Wednesday, Mar. 22:
The "Brown vs. White" in-
trasquad game scheduled for
Sunday, Mar. 19, was cancelled.
The Engineers, reigning NCAA
Div. II National Football
Champs, open their ft-game 1978
schedule on Sept. 9 against West
Chester State in Taylor Stadium.
Other   home   games   feature
Colgate,   Delaware,   Davidson, >
Bucknell, and C.W. Post.
Road games will'be against
Slippery Rock State, Penn, VMI,
Maine and Lafayette.
"It was disappointing," Coach
John Whitehead said. "But what
can you do about the weather?
Nothing. We had more snow than
seemed possible. We held spring
drills earlier last year and didn't
have these problems'
"We didn't waste any time,
though," he continued. "Fortunately we had a field house in
which we got in a lot of work and
we were able to maintain a
reasonable schedule."
Lehigh has 29 returning letter-
winners from the championship
squad but three of j them, Ail-
American wide receiver Steve
Kreider    of    Reading,     Pa.,
linebacker Jim McCormick of
Millville, N.J., and placekicker
Ken Wood of Pennington, N.J.,
were excused from spring drills.
They were also working in the
field house, but with the varsity
baseball team, and aren't
scheduled to rejoin the grid squad

LEHIGH SOPHOMORE Mike Brown works on Daryl Monasmith en
route to 5-3 triumph and third place finish at 190 pounds.
of Oklahoma State 7-1 for the 177-
pound national championship,
bringing to 15 the number of
Lehigh stars who have accumulated a total of 19 NCAA
mat crowns.
Brown, eliminated from the
championship round by Daryl
Monasmith of Oklahoma State in
the quarter-finals, fought back
and eventually beat the same
man in a consolation final for
third place, 5-3.
The first and third place
finishes enabled the Engineers to
make the National Top Ten for
the fourth straight year. Lehigh
was seventh with 37.5 points, the
same position Coach Thad
Turner's squad held last winter.
In 1975 and 1976 the Engineers
were fifth.
This season's performance in
the Nationals was noteworthy
because it followed a campaign in
which the team had to struggle to
post a winning record (9-7)
and relinquished the EIWA team
