EIWA Test
Returning
To Navy
The Eastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Assn. (EIWA) 1974-75
tournament, originally scheduled
for Penn State and them moved
to F. and M., has been shifted
again.
It will be held at the Naval
Academy, Annapolis, Md., Feb.
28 and Mar. 1.
Navy hosted the tournament
last season and the Middies took
championship honors away from
Penn State. The Nittany Lions
withdrew from the Eastern
College Athletic Conference
(ECAC) and became ineligible to
compete in the EIWA title test.
Directors of athletics at EIWA
colleges and universities moved
the tourney site last week, during
ECAC meetings at Hyannisport,
Mass., following a recommendation from conference
wrestling coaches.
Matmen qualify for the NCAA
tournament directly from the
EIWA test. F. and M. grapplers
move into the small-college
qualifying round and any
Diplomats earning a place in the
EIWA tourney would take that
position away from other
wrestlers in the circuit.
Wilkes College has been admitted into the EIWA but,
because of procedural red tape,
probably will have to wait until
the 1975-76 season before competing in the Eastern Tournament.
LU Golfer
Is Medalist
Tom Porsch, a Lehigh junior
from Grove City, Pa., took
medalist honors and Bucknell
won team laurels in the annual
Lehigh University Fall Invitational Golf Tournament at
Bethlehem Municipal Course last
week.
Porsch fired rounds of 73 and
72, for 145, two strokes ahead of
Bucknell's Chick Wagner and
Bob Zagorsky of Kings College.
Wagner nipped Zagorsky in a
playoff for second place.
Bucknell's team total was 748
while Lehigh had 759 for runnerup honors. West Chester was
third with 780. Gerry Leeman,
director of special sports events
at Lehigh, conducted the two-day
tournament.

Third Period Touchdowns
Decide Thrilling Battle;
Team Idle This Weekend
Adolph Bellizeare's three
touchdowns, one on a 74-yard run,
paced Pennsylvania to a 28-18
victory over Lehigh last Friday
night before 17,855 spectators at
Franklin Field, Philadelphia.
It was the first loss of the 1974
football season for the Engineers
following impressive triumphs
over Hofstra, 40-0, and Colgate,
33-12. The Quakers were playing
their first game of the campaign.
Rod Gardner of Maplewood, N.
J., tallied the Lehigh touchdowns
on gains of one and five yards,
Dave Mancosh of Pittsburgh,
Pa., booted an extra point and a
29-yard field goal, and quarterback Joe Alleva of Suffern, N.
Y., threw a two-point conversion
pass to tight end Mike Lechner.
Alleva had a big night against

the Quakers, completing 24 of 44
aerials for 296 yards, with only
one interception. The number of
attempts (44) is a Lehigh individual record for one game,
topping Kim McQuilken's 41 tries
against Colgate in 1972.
McQuilken had 29 completions
for 325 yards, also Engineer
marks.
Coach Fred Dunlap's squad
couldn't uncover any matching
running, however, and failure to
establish a ground game was a
severe handicap.
Penn, superior on the ground
offensively and defensively,
hammered away for 365 yards
running and added 150 in the air
for 25 first downs. Lehigh had 307
passing, with 24 first downs, but
only 74 net on the ground.
Lechner was the leading
receiver in the contest with eight
grabs for 104 yards, in addition to
his two-point conversion catch.
Split end Bobby Liptak of
Yonkers, N. Y., caught four for 65
and wingback Bob Handschue
snagged four for 50.
Liptak had two spectacular
receptions, one on which he
leaped high to take the ball away
from two defenders.
It was an all-too-typical performance for Lehigh against
Penn. The Engineers paid dearly
for a couple of mistakes, battled
back and made a highly
respectable game of it, but
couldn't crack a long-standing
jinx. Penn has won 34 straight
times against Lehigh, holds a 40-2
series advantage and hasn't lost
to the Engineers since 1889.
Perm's first TD came shortly
after a fumble on the game-
opening kickoff recovered by the
Quakers on the Lehigh 18.
Bellizeare drove across from the
7, Tim Martin kicked the point
and it was 7-0 at 1:23 of the
period.
The second came on a nine-play
drive of 61 yards after Lehigh had
pulled into a brief 7-7 tie. John
