Last week the revitalized
Engineers split a pair of
decisions, dropping a 70-67
overtime heartbreaker at
Colgate before winning at
Elizabethtown College, 66-57.
Coach Brian Hill's squad has a
4-and-3 mark.
The Engineers make their next
start in the first round of the
Roanoke Tournament Monday,
Dec. 29, at 7 p.m. against Rider.
In the other opening contest
Roanoke College, the host school,
entertains Susquehanna at 9 p.m.
One night later, Dec. 30, the
tourney concludes with a consolation contest at 7 p.m., between Monday's losers, and a title
game at 9 p.m.
Ken Clifford, a sophomore
guard from Fanwood, N.J., was
the week's scoring leader with 14
points at Colgate and 21 at
Elizabethtown for a total of 35.
Billy Griffin, a freshman guard
from Scotch Plains, N.J.,
followed with 29 points and Ray
Green a sophomore forward from

Last season's scoring leaders,
forward Charley Brown of
Morristown, N.J., and forward
Bill Milligan of Ramsey, N.J.,

Lehigh footballers were
honored in New York City
Dec. 11 at the annual
Lambert awards luncheon,
accepting their fourth
Lambert Cup emblematic
of eastern Div. II gridiron
supremacy.
The Engineers enjoyed a
9-2 season and climaxed
their efforts by climbing
into first place in the
Lambert Cup voting late in
the schedule.
Coach Fred Dunlap and
co-captains Joe Sterrett
and Jerry Mullane were on
hand to accept the award
from Victor Lambert, of
the Lambert Bros, jewelry
house. Penn State was
feted as the Div. I recipient
of the Lambert Trophy and
Ithaca College accepted
the Div. Ill Lambert Bow.
Presentation took place
at the Hotel Roosevelt and
a large delegation of
Lehigh alumni and friends,
totaling 44 persons, was on
hand.
Lehigh also won this
award in 1957, 1961 and
1973.
On the dias, along with
Dunlap, Sterrett and
Mullane, were Bill
Leckonby, Lehigh's
director of athletics, and

Lehigh's undefeated wrestling
leaders after the Engineers' first
six meets of the 1975-76 campaign.
The Engineers have a 5-1 team
mark following action in last
weekend's quadrangular tournament at Grace Hall.

tourney Oregon State took Indiana State, 23-15, and East
Carolina, 30-15, while East
Carolina defeated Indiana State,

Toth-Fejel, a senior from
Cupertino, Calif., and Lieberman, the 177-pound NCAA
champion from Allentown, Pa.,
emerged with perfect 6-0 marks.
Duke, a senior from Lancaster,
Pa., replaced junior Glenn
Willard of Yardley, Pa., for the
quad at 158 after the latter injured a knee in earlier wrestling
at the Nassau Coliseum, and was
very impressive winning three
times in three appearances. Both
of them now have 3-0 seasonal
records.
Two Lehigh grapplers, 167-
pounder Nils Deacon of Howell,
N. J., and heavyweight Don
McCorkel of Hershey, Pa., fell

Saturday. He lost to Phil Mueller
of East Carolina, 11-7, and Mark
Evenhus of Oregon State, 8-6.
