State Rally Tops Lehigh Wrestlers
Zambo Hot
As Cagers
Split Pair
An iron-man performance by a
starting team which played until
the midway point of the second-
half, without substitution, lifted
Lehigh to a 61-55 victory over
Bucknell as the Engineers scored
their first Middle Atlantic Conference triumph of the waning
basketball season.
In a second loop contest last
week the Engineers toppled
before Gettysburg, 78-63, despite
a brilliant 28-point barrage by
Steve (Buddy) Zambo, a freshman from Woodbridge, N. J.
Zambo also led the way against
Bucknell with 22 markers.
Zambo was one of four frosh
starters against Bucknell along
with junior playmaker Gene
Brown of Philadelphia, subbing
for injured Norm Liedtke. The
other freshmen were Charley
Brown of Morristown, N. J., Rich
Price of Verona, N. J., and Doug
Kistler of Allentown, Pa.
The young Engineers got off to
a fast start, rolled up a 15-point
lead at 28-13 and were on top at

Coach Tom Pugliese, reluctant
to break up a successful combination, refrained from substituting until midway through
the second half when the Bisons

Swimmers Victorious
Over Lafayette, 70-43
Lehigh swimmers dunked
Lafayette, 70-43, picking up a
vital point in the 1973-74 All-
Sports Trophy race.
It was the second appearance
of the week for Coach Bruce
Gardiner's squad which earlier
dropped a 68-45 decision to
LaSalle.
Bob Roth of New Rochelle, N.
Y., and Steve Folsom of Milford,
Conn., were leaders against
Lafayette as each won his individual specialty along with
swimming legs on a victorious
400-yard freestyle relay team.
Roth took the 200 breaststroke
in 2:25.2 and Folsom grabbed the
500 freestyle in 5:25.
The Engineers could gain only
two individual triumphs against
LaSalle, Roth taking the 200
breaststroke in 2:23.4 and Jim
Ritter, of Emmaus, Pa., capturing the 100 freestyle in 51
seconds.
Lehigh also won the 400 medley
and 400 freestyle relays.

Lions Gain
18-15 Edge
Penn State rallied in the
heavier weights Saturday to
overtake Lehigh and gain an 18-15
decision before a capacity turnout of 3,000 fans in Grace Hall.
It was the ninth victory of the
season for the defending Eastern
Intercollegiate Wrestling Assn.
champions whose record is
marred only by an 18-18 draw
with Navy.
Lehigh (12-7) dominated the
early portion of the action, piling
up a 12-3 lead, but the Nittany
Lions pulled even with a triumph
at 190 and took the meet as
Charley Getty defeated George
Barkanic in the heavyweight
finale, 8-4.
Engineer winners were 118-
pounder Bobby Sloand of Landing, N. J., by a fall over Kevin
Woodrow; Tom Sculley 5-3 over
Bob Medina at 134; brother Pat

Mike Frick, at 126, was edged 4-
3 by Johnny Fritz of the Lions in a
battle of EIWA defending
champs. Frick took 118-pound
laurels last year while Fritz won
at 126. Frick, of Hamburg, N. J.,
was defeated for only the second
time this season in 18 meets.

Brenneman was a 3-2 victor over
Barry Dixon of DuBois, Pa., at
167, Larry Suhey rallied to edge
Don McCorkel of Hershey, Pa., 5-
4 at 190, and Getty climaxed the
surge with his win over Barkanic.
There were five bouts decided
by a single point, in the bristling
meet, and State captured four of
them.
Fritz took Frick down late in
the first period of their matchup.
Frick escaped in the second
stanza, scored a takedown of his
own but then yielded an escape
early in the final period to make
LEHIGH wrestling coach Thad Turner with co-captains Tom Sculley,
left, and Terry DeStito, both of whom scored impressive victories in
Saturday's 18-15 setback at the hands of Penn State.
it 3-3 on the scoreboard.
The Lehigh ace kept after his
foe for the balance of the bout but
Fritz, with a time advantage
point in his favor, stayed away
successfully until the final
buzzer. The defensive tactics
drew a warning for stalling but no
penalty point was forthcoming.
Sloand, a former state
champion at Wheatfields High
School in Niagara Falls, N. Y.,
was taken down by Woodrow into
a near-fall situation in the
opening period but battled back
to get the pin himself at the 3:11
mark.
Tom Sculley reversed Medina
late in the second period for the
first points of their bout, gave up
an escape in the third and then
added a takedown and time
advantage. Medina, in addition to
his escape, also had a reversal.
Pat Sculley outlasted Vollrath,
