X u I—I X W -J •**sfip Volume 31, Number 13 December 6,1988 Bethlehem, Pa. Binder named to PA Sports Hall of Fame William G. (Billy) Binder, a Lehigh University basketball star of the World War II era, has been inducted into The Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. Binder, a native of Steelton, Pa., where he was a high school star in basketball, football and track, came to Lehigh from Blair Academy where he helped that school win state titles in football, basketball and tennis. A resident of Hershey, Pa., he's the second Lehigh alumnus in the Pa. Sports Hall of Fame, following race car and track owner Roger Penske who was inducted in 1984. Binder, a favorite with Lehigh basketball fans of the early 1940s, came to the University in 1939. He left school early in his senior season to join the Army and while stationed in North Africa played basketball on a unit team and earned all-Mediterranean honors. He later played and coached in the Eastern Pro League. Inducted with Binder Oct. 29 at a testimonial banquet in Carlisle, Pa., were former football stars Allen Atkinson, Fred Biletnikoff, Joe (Jazz) Diminick, John Gurski and Mike Jarmoluk, Stan Lopata and Art Mahaffey of baseball fame, Olympic trackman John Romig, soccer coach Jerry Yeagley, professional boxing champion Billy Soose and the late Jake Nevin, Villanova trainer. : ■ ' • W l Lane Pendleton locks Rick Novak's leg on his way to an 11 -5 decision versus Iowa. Photography by YOUNG HONG Grapplers win Sheridan crown By MEGAN CULHANE South Mountaineer Editor Late in his semi-final bout with East Stroudsburg's Steve Baumbach (167), Solomon Fleckman (Merritt Island, Fla.) suffered an unfortunate twist of fate. He wrenched his ankle. Visibly in pain, the sophomore continued to wrestle to a 3-2 decision that landed him in the finals of the 10th annual Billy Sheridan Invitational at Stabler Center last Saturday night - the injury, however, would keep him from wrestling a full championship bout with North Carolina State's No. 2 seed Mike Lontz who won the championship by default. And so it went. One down and nine to go. Just what head coach Tom Hutchinson didn't want to see happen to one of his top prospects - especially with 134 pound captain John Epperly (Fairfax, Va.) sidelined with a cracked rib and a lean lineup that can't afford to cut weight. But Fleckman's semi-final bout set the tone for the rest of the tournament. Lehigh has been hungry to win the Sheridan Tournament since 1985, when it last took the trophy home, and it wasn't about to stand down now. After the semis, the Brown and White had placed five men in contention for the title, Joe Herrmann (142), Fleckman (167), Derek Brophy (177), Matt Ruppel (190) and John Morris (HWT). At 142, Herrmann (Sayville, N.Y.) went on to become See WRESTLING page 2 Basketball off to fast start with new winning fomula By Ron Ticho Director of Sports Information The men's basketball team, coming off a 21-10 record in 1988 and the most successful season in Lehigh basketball history, have found a new way to win basketball games without the P's and Q's. They're using the whole alphabet. Six players scored in double-figures in Lehigh's 86-72 triumph over Loyola (Md.) at the Lobo Tip-off Classic held in Albuquerque, N.M. There was no 32- point performance, or even a 25-point performance. Solid defense, and a "total" team effort sparked the victory. Freshman Dozie Mbonu (Philadelphia, Pa.) scored 18 points and sophomore Mike O'Hara (Philadelphia, Pa.) scored 14 to lead Lehigh. Other players in double- figures included captain Scott Layer (Hatboro, Pa.) with 12, transfer Neal Fenton with 11, and Chris Block and Tom Martin with ten points apiece. Certainly this type of scoring is a new look for Lehigh basketball fans. "Everyone kept asking how are we going to replace Daren (Queenan) and Mike (Polaha). Well, I think better defense and a more balanced attack is a good start," explained first-year head coach Dave Duke. Lehigh opened the 1988-89 season at the Lobo Tip-off classic in New Mexico. In the first round they lost a tough 68-58 decision to the University of San Diego-the eventual tournament champion. In that contest Lehigh led at the half, 30-24, but were unable to maintain that margin. See BASKETBALL page 3
