2 Engineer
Boxers Win
NCBA Titles
Two Lehigh fighters, John
Young of Washington, D.C.and
Andy Okada of Kirkland,
Wash., won titles in the 1981
National Collegiate Boxing
Association championships at
Reno, Nev.
Both qualified for the finals in
the eastern tournament at
Lehigh, Young winning the 190-
pound crown and Okada earning a wild card berth after
finishing runnerup at 112.
For Okada the Nationals provided an opportunity to avenge
a surprise eastern finals loss to
Carl Wilson of West Chester,
Pa., State College. He scored a
unanimous decision over Wilson
in the Reno rematch, also a title
round finale.
Young stopped Rick McGough, of Nevada-Reno, in the
third round of their championship scrap. McGough elected to
slug it out with the hard-hitting
Engineer and Young battered
him hard, especially to the
body, and twice McGough took a
standing eight count before a
final assault finished him off.
Okada and Young are
Lehigh's first national boxing
-champions since 1977 when
Davey O'Brien, a lightweight,
went all the way. They represented the Lehigh Boxing Club
JOHN YOUNG
headed by Bill Quay, dean of
students at the University, and
coached by John Dopsovic. Both
are seniors in the College of Business and Economics.
Air Force Academy won a
second straight NCAB team
championship with 39 points.
West Chester had 20, Nevada-
Reno 18, Lehigh and Penn State
10 apiece, California six and the
Naval Academy five.
Whites Edge Browns
In Spring Grid Finale
Three different quarterbacks
fired scoring passes, one of
them deciding the outcome on
the last play of the contest, as
Lehigh completed spring football practice in Taylor Stadium
with the Whites edging the
Browns in an intra-squad finale,
20-17.
Bill Rambo, of Easton, Pa.,
had the game-winning toss, an
eight-yard flip to split end Dan
Ryan, of Guilderland, N.Y., as
the Whites tallied their decisive
touchdown as time expired.
Earlier Ryan, a letterman in
1980 as a defensive back, had
taken a throw from Larry
Michalski, of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
