Batter Visiting Delaware
Lehigh's final pre-exam break
basketball game resulted in the
squad's finest showing of the
season as favored Delaware was
battered,   75-59, in Grace Hall.
The Blue Hens won an earlier
contest at Newark, Del., 67-45.
Lehigh's tall, impressive
freshman group registered
another strong performance with
a 79-63 triumph for its sixth
victory in eight starts.
Johnny Waters, Bob Fortune
and Frank Babic starred against
Delaware's varsity in a game
which found Lehigh moving out
front early and repulsing all
counter-attacks.
Waters netted 25 points,
Fortune had 21 and Babic contributed 11 markers and a
team-high 12 rebounds. Steve
Jackson led the Hens with 19
tallies while 6-foot-7 Ed Roth
was  tops in rebounds  with 13.
Lehigh shot brilliantly, Fortune setting a sizzling pace with
nine field goals in just 10
attempts.  Waters  was 9-for-18
from the floor and Babic made
five of six tries. The team topped
the .500 mark in shooting with 29
goals in 53 chances.
This sort of offense, coupled
with a very aggressive man to
man defense, took the play away
from Delaware and rekindled
Lehigh hopes for a strong second
half seasonal performance.
The Brown and White (2-9)
shattered a six-game losing
streak while Delaware was
defeated for the sixth time in
10 decisions.
Three quick baskets by Waters
vaulted Lehigh into a 20-14 lead
midway through the first half and
Delaware  never caught up. The

Coach's Comment
"Everything seemed to jell
against Delaware. We were
hitting our shots, rebounding,
scrambling, hustling all the way,__
The team showed fine potential
even though it lacks size.". . .
Roy Heckman, basketball.
Swimmers Win, 58-55
Pete Harding, Harry Mamaux,
Wayne Martin and Rick Astelford
set the standard of 3.27.1 to give
Lehigh its second win in four
starts,
A record-setting victory in the
final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, enabled Lehigh's
swimmers to score a 58-55 triumph over Delaware in the
losers' pool.
Harding was a triple winner
as he also took the 200-yard
breaststroke in 2; 27.9, setting a
pool record, and the 20-yard
individual medley in 2:14.1.
Engineer Tom Dillman won
both diving events. He scored 239
points in the one-meter event and
227 points at three meters.
Frank Warner won the 200-
yard freestyle in 1:59 flat and the
200-yard  backstroke   in   2:18.8.
Lehigh's frosh bowed, 57-56,
despite two record-setting performances by Bob Sine. He
splashed to a new standard of
5:20.6 in the 500-yard freestyle
and set a mark of 1:52.7 in the
200-yard freestyle.

Grapplers Rout Princeton
After Losing to Cyclones

Rutzen and 177-pounder Jack
Bentz paced Lehigh wrestlers to
a crushing rout of previously - undefeated Princeton last
Saturday before 3,000 spectators
in Grace Hall, 31-3
Two days earlier the Engineers
bowed to visiting Iowa State,
24-8, with Rutzen and Bentz the
only winners.
Heavyweight Mason Staub was
unbeaten in the pair of meets,
drawing 5-5 with Jim Duschen of
Iowa State and blanking Chuck
Dressel of Princeton, 4-0.
The Princeton rout carried
unusual satisfaction because one

triumph over the Engineers since
1936.
Only 130-pounder Alan Uyeda
could win for Princeton this time,
and his razor-thin edge over
Pete Henning, 7-6, was far from
convincing. He hung on grimly
all through the third period as
Henning fought from far behind
to   make a  close   match of it.
Otherwise it was all Lehigh as
Coach Gerry Lee man's forces
chewed up an Ivy League rival
for the third time this winter.
Earlier they blanked Yale 34-0,
and didn't lose a bout while manhandling Cornell, 33-2.
Dick Meyer started the victory
parade at 123 pounds with a 14-0
thrashing of John Chitty. He
rolled up two takedowns, two
near-falls, an escape, picked up a
penalty point and had two points
of riding time.
Uyeda had an escape and two
takedowns against Henning in the
second period, for a 5-1 advantage, and he nursed this through
to  the finish without making an

Indoor Trackmen Defeated
Lehigh's indoor trackmen
dropped their opening meet,
77-26 at the University of Delaware, with Jack Doney, Steve
Haas and Al Banes getting
Engineer victories.
The Engineer frosh fared
better capturing a 67-36
decision.
Doney registered top honors
in the high jump with 6-2. Haas
won the 2-mile in 9:52.4, and
Banes was first-place winner in
the pole vault with a leap of
14 feet, 5 1/2 inches.
Delaware's strongest showing
was in the 600-yard run and the
shot put where its trackmen
placed   in   all   three  positions.
Lehigh took two positions in
the long jump. Doney placed
second and Norman Friedman
was third.
