Before 4,000 Fails, 21-19

UNDEFEATED LEHIGH co-captain Colin Kilrain en route to superior decision over George Fears of Navy. His five-pointer broke 16-16
deadlock late in meet and gave Engineers a 21-19 triumph.
Kilrain Takes Tie-Breaking Bout
Bonus points made the difference as Lehigh matmen, tuning
up for this weekend's crucial
date with Syracuse, outscored
Navy before 4,000 spectators at
Stabler Center, 21-19.
Syracuse, rated No. 1 in the
East ever since the Engineers
dropped meets to Iowa, Iowa
State and Wisconsin, will have
an opportunity to defend that
ranking Saturday (2/21) in
another Stabler attraction.
This will be the afternoon portion of a second split double-
header with the grapplers
spotlighted in the afternoon and
men's basketball taking over at
night as Lehigh cagers host
Delaware.
Navy, which dropped recent
meets to Syracuse, 19-16, and
Penn State, 17-15, staged the
kind of battle most observers
expected. The Middies split
even with the Engineers in victories, each winning five bouts,
but Lehigh made its triumphs
worth more points.
Pacing the Engineers, with
five-point superior decisions,
were co-captains Darryl Burley
(134) of Pemberton, N.J., and
Colin Kilrain (190) of Braintree,
Mass. Bob Weaver (118) of
Easton, Pa., and Jim Reilly
(158) of North Wales, Pa., contributed four-point major triumphs. Tom Husted (126) did
his bit with a three-point victory
in a toss-up scrap.
John Reich, Navy 167-
pounder who pins just about
everyone thrown at him, gave
the Middies a six-point fall at 142
over Tom Bold of the Engineers,
13-5. That was it for Navy bonus
points, though, nd four couldn't
match Lehigh's six.
It was only the fourth setback
for Navy against 17 dual victories, the narrow losses to Syracuse and Penn State along with
a 25-15 reversal at the hands of
North Carolina State.
Lehigh set the stage for its
10th  victory  in   13 meets  as

swept the first three bouts. Only
Husted had any real trouble,
against Heimbach, and his final
10-6 margin is misleading. He
trailed 3-0 and was locked in a
bristling 6-6 scramble in the
final seconds when he took the
Middie captain down and added
back points.
Weaver won 14-6 over Guy
Zanti and Burley demolished
Dan Krall, 30-10.

handed Jeff Turner his first loss
of the season, 11-6, at 177. Reilly
saved the day for Lehigh during
this surge with an impressive 8-
0 shutout of Mike Rodgers at
158. It was only the second loss
for Rodgers in 16 appearances.
When Phillips and Turner left
the mat Navy had overcome an
early 12-0 deficit to pull even,
16-16, with two bouts remaining.
Kilrain mauled George
Fears, 25-8, for his five-pointer,
but couldn't get the six-point fall
he wanted to clinch at least a tie
for Lehigh. Navy was still alive,
trailing 21-16, with the heavyweight match still to be
wrestled. Engineer veteran
Drew Keiser, considerably
bigger than Pat Ryan, his rival,
bowed but only by an 8-3
margin.
