Cagers Finish  6-1 Home Stand
Matmen Bow To Eastern Champs
Navy Wrestlers Victorious;
Leinberger Still Unbeaten
Lehigh's Big Four of Gary
Leinberger, Jack Bentz, Herb
Campbell and Steve Shields
scored 11 points Saturday but the
Engineers couldn't locate enough
supporting help for them during
a 23-13 loss to Navy's defending
Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Assn.  champions.
It was the fifth straight meet
away from home for the Engineers (6-2) who return to Grace
Hall Saturday night, Feb. 14, for
freshman and varsity tests
against Army.
The Lehigh frosh also bowed to
Navy, 17-16, in their second appearance of the campaign. Earlier they drubbed Cornell 34-6.
Navy piled up a 16-0 lead
sweeping the first four bouts,
two of them by falls, and the
Engineers fell too far behind to
seriously threaten the midshipmen whose only loss this season
is to Oklahoma.
In the opening bout Tom
Schuler of Navy pinned Arnie
Bramow. Lew Mason followed
with a fall over Ricky Mitzner, a
late replacement for Dave Waters
when the latter failed to make
weight, and the Middies had a
10-0 advantage.
EIWA champion Dale Stahl
trimmed Dave Icenhower, 5-1,
and Lloyd Keaser completed
the  early sweep by beating Jay
Leeman, 10-3.
Campbell put Lehigh on the
scoreboard with another convincing performance at 150, He
whippped previously-undefeated
Andy Tolk, 15-3, barely failing
to get a fall.
Rick Bacastow battled to a 1-1
draw with EIWA champ Bob
Christianson at 158 and Bentz
followed with a 12-3 rout of
Tommy Tomlinson in their 167-
pound scrap. Navy led 18-8 and
Lehigh needed a sweep of the final
three bouts, with at least one
fall, to salvage the victory.
Bentz, like Campbell, struggled valiantly for a pin but
couldn't quite manage it.
When Ben Welch of the Middies
held Shields to a 2-2 stalmate,
at 177, the Navy team maintained
its 10-point advantage going into
the  last  two bouts and couldn't
