8-5 Defeat
For DeStito
Terry DeStito, heavyweight
undefeated in dual meets this
season, represented Lehigh in the
annual East-West all-star
wrestling meet Feb. 3 at Clarion
State.
He dropped an 8-5 decision to
Larry Bielenburg of Oregon
State, rated the country's No. l
collegiate heavy, as the West
gained an 18-14 triumph.
Thad Turner, Lehigh served as
coach of the East team.
DeStito was the fourth Lehigh
star chosen to participate in this
annual meet. Earlier Engineer
entries were lightweights Mike
Caruso, Rich Meyer and Mike
Frick.
He wrestled a strong bout
against Bielenburg, rallying
after being taken down and
victimized with a near-fall to trail
4-0. Late in the match, with his
deficit sliced to 6-5, he tried
unsuccessfully for a takedown.
Bielenburg countered and added
the TD to his total.
Seventeen victories in 20 bouts
were racked up by Lehigh's
wrestlers last week as the
Engineers trounced Rutgers, 30-
3, and Army, 29-8, to extend their
winning streak through 10 meets.
Coach Thad Turner's matmen
(14-2-1) are ranked No. 1 in the
East and No. 6 nationally, the
strongest showing for a Lehigh
team since 1967.
Double winners during the
week were Marty Lynn, Tihamer
Toth-Fejel of Cupertino, Calif.,
Pat Sculley, Mark Lieberman,
Mike Lieberman and Don McCorkel of Hershey, Pa.
The only stunner of the 20 bouts
came at Army in the 134-pound
clash as Mike Frick, of Hamburg,
N.J., was pinned by Jack
Schoonover of the Cadets in 2:22
with a cradle. It was Frick's first
loss after 12 victories. Earlier
Frick pounded Phil Steiner of
Rutgers, 9-0.
Single winners, in their only
bouts, were Lance Leonhardt,
Nils Deacon of Howell, N.J., Jeff
Boyd of Westwood, N.J., and
Terry DeStito of Enola, Pa., the
only undefeated regular.
DeStito dropped a decision in
the annual East-West all-star
meet Feb. 3, at Clarion State, but
this doesn't count against his
seasonal dual record.
Along with Frick, the only
Lehigh losers during the week
were reserves Dave O'Brien of
Alexandria, Va., and Glenn
Grant of Maplewood, N.J.
O'Brien subbed for Leonhardt,
against Rutgers, and was beaten
13-6 by Gerry Nisivoccia in their
118-pound leadoff scrap. The
Scarlet didn't win again during
the program, losing to Lehigh for
the 25th consecutive time. Some
1,900 fans watched the meet at
Grace Hall.
Frick's    startling    loss    to
Penn St. Meet
To Be Telecast
The Lehigh-Penn State wrestling meet, at University Park,
will  be  shown one  day  later,
Sunday,   Feb.   16,   over   the
following educational TV outlets:
WLVT, Ch. 39, of Bethlehem,
WITF, Ch. 33, of Hershey,
WPSX, Ch. 2, University Park.
The telecast will be originated
by WPSX and the showings on all
three state outlets will be at 4
p.m.
There will be NO "live"
television.
Schoonover, and a 10-8 loss
handed to Grant by Rick McPhee
at 177, were the only setbacks at
Army.
Mike Lieberman, winning 3-0
over highly-rated Steve Bonsall
of Rutgers and 9-3 over Fritz
Burnett of Army, became the
team's biggest winner with a 15-2
seasonal record.
He's the only member of the
team to wrestle in each meet and
he has a shot at the Engineer one-
season mark of most dual meet
triumphs (17) established just
last year by NCAA champion
Tom Sculley, Frick and DeStito.
He needs wins in the last three
dual tests against Penn State,
Columbia and Cornell.
Leonhardt, who has dropped
two straight decisions after
