'Berg First
Victim 73-63
Steve (Buddy) Zambo, one of
the nine freshmen on Lehigh's 14-
man varsity basketball squad,
turned in 43 points in three games
last week as the Engineers
defeated Muhlenberg, 73-63, and
dropped hard-fought decisions to
Rider, 62-57, and Gettysburg, 81-
70.
Lehigh's junior varsity squad,
which numbers eight frosh
among 13 players, swept past the
Cardinals of the Bethlehem City
"A" League, 98-58, Rider, 61-57,
and Gettysburg, 67-59. The JVs
have won seven times in nine
starts.
Zambo, of Woodbridge, N.J.,
pumped in 20 points as Lehigh
made Muhlenberg its first varsity victim of the campaign. He
added 16 against Rider and 17
against Gettysburg, a pair of
Middle Atlantic Conference
rivals.
Coach Tom Pugliese's
youngsters led 'Berg at halftime,
34-30, but fell behind during the
second half before once again
surging into the lead and staying
there. Zambo came off the bench
in the first half to net 10 points,
and contributed 10 more after the
intermission.
Pugliese had counted heavily
upon the former N.J. all-stater
from Woodbridge High but a bad
thigh bruise inactivated him for
most of the early games. He's
just starting to hit his stride.
Freshmen Rich Price of
Verona, N. J., and Charley Brown
