Wrestlers In Early Meets
Heavyweight Don McCorkel, of
Hershey, Pa., highlighted early
wrestling action for Lehigh with
three falls as the Engineers won
over Wilkes, 29-12, Northwestern,
24-10, and Florida, 22-14.
The Wilkes victory came in the
1975-76 debut, before 2,900 fans in
Grace Hall.
Northwestern and Florida were
beaten Sunday during a double
dual at the Nassau, N. Y.,
Coliseum witnessed by some
3,000 spectators.
Florida, the Southeastern
Conference champion, came into
the coliseum with 33 straight dual
meet triumphs and outscored
Montclair State in the first match
of the day, 22-17, to extend this
streak to 34.
Lehigh, trailing after the first
eight bouts, shattered the string
as 190-pounder Mike Lieberman
racked up a decision and McCorkel followed with his third pin
in three tries, in 7:18 over 275-
pounder Nils Stradskov after
running up a 14-0 lead.
Strandskov had been Florida's
hero earlier in the day, getting a
fall in the final bout against
Montclair State to win that meet.
He never had a chance against
McCorkel, the EIWA 190-pound
king, who registered two takedowns, an escape, two near-falls
and a couple of penalty points
before putting him away.
It was a great afternoon for
McCorkel. Two years ago, as a
freshman, he had dropped two
heavyweight verdicts in the
coliseum as Lehigh lost photofinish decisions to Michigan State
and Oregon State.
McCorkel's bigger now, a solid
225, and much more experienced.
Other Engineers sweeping
their first three starts included
142-pounder Tihamer Toth-Fejel
of Cupertino, Calif., 158-pounder
Glenn Willard of Yardley, Pa.,
167-pounder Nils Deacon of
Howell, N. J., and Lieberman.
Bob Sloand, 134-pounder from
Landing, N. J., had a 2-1 mark.
Lance Leonhardt, 126-pounder,
went 1-1-1 and Armin Vaihinger,
150-pounder from Doylestown,
Pa., was 1-2. Freshmen Steve
Tupgeon (118) of E. Hartford,
Conn., and Bill Amelio (177) of
Pittsburgh, Pa., each lost three
times.
Three champions were absent
from the Lehigh lineup. NCAA
and EIWA king Mike Frick, of
Hamburg, N. J., is academically
ineligible, Pat Sculley is concentrating on his classroom work
and Mark Lieberman, on a five-
year academic program, is
sitting out the season.
Coach Thad Turner hopes
Frick and Sculley will be able to
rejoin the squad next month. The

Western Kentucky and Northern Michigan topped
Livingston in the Pioneer Bowl at
Wichita Falls, Tex., 28-26.
Western Kentucky and Northern Michigan meet Saturday in
the Camellia Bowl, Sacramento,
Calif., for the Div. II national
championship. New Hampshire
eliminated Lehigh in the first
round, 35-21.
Wittenberg defeated Ithaca
last Saturday for the Div. II
national title, 28-0.
Lehigh's basketball squad,
which won only once all last
season and only three times the
year before, chalked up three
victories in four starts last week.
The Engineers started this
splurge with an 82-77 overtime
conquest of Wagner and followed
with triumphs over Pitt-
Johnstown, 71-64, and the U. S.
Merchant Marine Academy of
Kings Point, 78-53.
Penn State topped the
Engineers, 93-45, but the team
moved into its third week of the
schedule with a 3-and-2 record
under new head coach Brian Hill.
Forwards Bill Milligan of
Ramsey, N. J., and Charley
Brown of Morristown, N. J.,
paced a well-balanced attack
during the busy week.
Milligan had 18-point games
against Wagner and Pitt-
Johnstown, while totaling 59, and
Brown had a 20-point effort
against Wagner while collecting
53.
Ray Green, a sophomore from
Washington, D. C., found his
shooting eye with 16 against
Kings Point during a 47-point
week. Ken Clifford, of Fanwood,
N. J., chipped in with 34 and
freshman playmaker Billy
Griffin, of Scotch Plains, N. J.,
had 33.
Griffin, considered one of the
finest guard prospects to join the
Engineers in years, consistently
fed baskets to his front line after
bringing the ball upcourt. He had
a big scoring night against
Wagner, too, with 17 points.
Lehigh scrambled to a 52-42
lead over Wagner only to have
the visiting Seahawks run off 11
