As Matmen End 14-6 Campaign
New Coaches Join Buffet    J  Tihamer Has 19-0 Record;
L U Football Staff    I At NCAA I
Two new assistant coaches
have accepted positions on the
varsity football staff at Lehigh.
Their appointments were
announced by Preston Parr, vice
president and dean of student
affairs, and Bill Leckonby,
director of athletics.
They are Harold Price, Lock
Haven '58, from the Dickinson
i College staff at Carlisle, Pa., and
Walter Whitehead, Purdue '70,
former head coach at Brownsville, Pa., High School. He is a
son of John Whitehead, recently
appointed head coach at Lehigh.
The newcomers fill two of the
vacancies created last month
when Fred Dunlap, head football
coach of the Engineers for 11
years, resigned to become
director of athletics and head
coach at Colgate. Two of his
assistants, John Whispell and
Chris Palmer, moved with him to
Colgate.
John Whitehead, upon being
promoted to the post of head
coach at Lehigh, named John
Luckhardt, another veteran of
the staff, to succeed him as offensive coordinator. Price will
handle the quarterbacks and
receivers.
Sam Sanders remains as
defensive coordinator and Walter
Whitehead will handle the
defensive line. John Whitehead,
while directing the entire
program, will continue to serve
as offensive line coach.
A third new assistant, to work
with the defensive platoon, will
be named soon.
Price, who was graduated from
Everett, Pa., Southern High
School before matriculating at
Lock Haven State, began his
coaching career as an assistant
at Hollidaysburg, Pa., Area
Junior High in 1958. He became
head coach at Williamsburg, Pa.,
Community High School in 1961
and at Windber, Pa., High School
in" 1967. In 1972 he joined the
Dickinson College grid staff and
upon his departure was offensive
coordinator.
Walter Whitehead is a graduate
of Carlisle, Pa., High School who
lettered three years on Purdue
gridiron teams which had a
cumulative 24-6 record. A center,
he was picked to play in the
North-South game of 1969 and in
the Hula Bowl contest of 1970. He
was co-captain of the Boilermakers for their game against
Notre Dame in 1969. His coaching
career began at Southwestern
High School, Lafayette, Ind., in
1970. He became a head coach at
Jefferson-Morgan High School,
Jefferson, Pa., in 1972 and during
1974 and 1975 was head football
coach at Brownsville, Pa., Area
High School.
Cagers Drop 2 Contests
Bucknell and Rider scored
East Coast Conference basketball victories last week over
Lehigh.
The Bisons invaded Grace Hall
and rallied in the final moments
to pull out a 71-69 verdict.
The Broncos, after losing twice
to the Engineers earlier this
winter, turned on their tormentors for a 99-77 margin at
Trenton.
Scoring star Russ Stroemel of
Rider, who had come up with an
unbelievable zero in an appearance at Grace Hall, banged
in 43 points this time against the
Engineers making 16 of 22 field
goal attempts.
Bucknell, which had edged
Lehigh at Lewisburg, lost an
early lead at Grace Hall and
needed a strong comeback in the
last few minutes to survive.
Scott Hebditch completed an
odd 3-point play with 30 seconds
left, tapping in a missed free
throw, to give the Bisons a 71-67
advantage. Charley Brown
scored for the Engineers at the
buzzer.
Ray Green, with 23 against
Rider, was Lehigh's scoring star
for the week with 30 points.
Brown and Ken Clifford notched
27 apiece and Bill Griffin had 24.
