Brown Tops 1,000 Mark As Cagers
Capture Pair; Wrestlers Sweep Quad
Co-Captain Leads Lehigh
Past Colgate, Elizabethtown
Senior co-captain Charlie
Brown, of Morristown, N.J.,
became Lehigh's sixth 1,000-point
man with a pair of high-scoring
efforts as the Engineer basketball team snapped a four-game
losing streak with victories over
Colgate and Elizabethtown.
Against Colgate, in an overtime
thriller, he netted 25 to reach
1,005 in a 91-86 triumph. Less than
a week later he came back with
31 to pace Lehigh to an 87-78
margin over the E-towners. Both
games were played in Grace
Hall.
He's now No. 6 among the
Engineers' all-time scoring
leaders with 1,036 and
challenging the No. 5 man, Eddie
Cahn, who netted 1,054 from 1952
through 1955.
Bob Fortune (1968-70) heads
the list with 1,242 followed by
Norm Brandl (1,231), Johnny
Waters (1,099) and Hank
Wisniewski (1,084). Brown's in
position to charge into the No. 3
spot before midseason and then
take aim at Fortune's record.
In lifting their season mark to
3-and-4 the Engineers received
two high-scoring efforts from
Brown and Kenny Clifford, the
latter a sharpshooting guard
from Scotch Plains, N. J., and hot
one-game performances from
Bill Griffin, another guard from
Scotch Plains, and forward Ray
Green of Washington, D.C.
There were key contributions
from others including freshman
forward Jeff Vandemark of Mah-
wah, N.J., and freshman guard
Frank Hillman of Montclair, N.J.
Brown banged in 16 points
during the first half against a
Colgate team which had just
upset Lafayette, helping Lehigh
to a 32-26 margin at the intermission. The Engineers played
exceptionally well in this contest,
methodically building up a lead
of 15 points at 65-50, with 6:30 left,
before the Raiders suddenly
burst into a hot streak which
carried them to a 73-73 tie in
regulation time.
Clifford broke the stalemate
early in the extra period with a
three-point play, added a field
goal for a 78-73 margin, and the
Engineers weren't caught a
second time. They rattled home
18 points in the five-minute
overtime session, nine of them by
Clifford.
Elizabethtown made a game of
it with swiftness and strong
shooting while Lehigh countered
with even better shooting and a
steadier all-around performance
utilizing a height advantage. The
Engineers led 32-26 in rebounds,
eight of them by Brown who was
the team leader in that department.
E-town rushed to an early 11-4
lead which Lehigh overcame to
pull into a 35-35 halftime
stalemate chiefly on the shooting
of Brown who made 19 points.
After the intermission the
Engineers gradually took charge,
eventually pulling away in the
last few minutes.
Senior co-captain Paul
Brandenburg of Iselin, N.J., the
Engineers' starting center, and
reserve forward Richie Zajac, a
senior from Carteret, N.J.,
turned in muscular jobs under
the boards.

Wrestlers In Midlands
Three Lehigh wrestlers, and
possibly a fourth, will compete in
the 14th annual Midlands
Tournament Dec. 29-30 at Northwestern University, Evanston,
M. There will be sessions each
day at 1 and 7:30 p.m.
Lance Leonhardt (126), Bob
Sloand (142) and Don McCorkel
(190) are entered along with
Mark Lieberman (177) if the
latter's injured knee permits him
to compete. Tihamer Toth-Fejel
(142), a graduate student serving
as an assistant coach this year,
also may take part. Midlands
officials are limiting Lehigh to a
maximum of five entries.
Mike Frick, a former NCAA
champion for Lehigh and
currently an assistant coach at
the University of Arizona, plans
to compete at 142. He may travel
to the tournament with the
Lehigh group.
Lehigh (4-1) resumes its dual
season Jan. 8-11 with a swing into
the southland to face East
Carolina, North Carolina and
North Carolina State.
CHARLIE BROWN
DON McCORKEL
Ike Will
Be Feted
Eddie Eichelberger, an
NCAA wrestling title-
winner at Lehigh in 1955
and 1956 and the
Engineers' all-time pinning
champion, will be honored
by the University, and the
Alumni Assn., prior to the
Lehigh-Iowa State meet
Jan. 15 in Grace Hall.
He will be feted upon his
addition last March to the
Citizens Saving (formerly
Helms Foundation)
wrestling Hall of Fame and
his official scroll will be
presented at that time.
Other Lehigh men in this
hall of fame are coaches
Billy Sheridan and Gerry
Leeman, and referee
Johnny Engel.
Leeman will present the
scroll to Eichelberger, one
of the champions he
coached at Lehigh,
following brief remarks
just before the meet
against Iowa State begins.
Don Sayenga of
Bethlehem, Pa., a
wrestling historian also
admitted to the Hall of
Fame last March, also will
be honored.
There will be a special
Hall of Fame dinner on the
evening of Jan. 15.
Matmen Overtake Cal Poly,
Drub Southern III., Tenn.
Four Lehigh stars went undefeated and untied last weekend
as the Engineers completed a
clean sweep of three meets in
their eighth annual quadrangular
wrestling tournament at Grace
Hall.
Coach Thad Turner's squad
whipped Southern Illinois, 32-10,
and Tennessee, 28-12, en route to
a confrontation with nationally-
ranked Cal Poly.
In this meet, an eagerly-
awaited high point of the two-day
competition, Lehigh stormed
back in the late bouts to grab a 17-
16 victory.
It was a noteworthy
achievement for the Engineers,
ranked fifth nationally a year
ago, against a strong Mustang
squad which was rated No. 6.
Lehigh captured the key meet
despite the absence of regulars
Mike Newbern (158) who's on the
sick list, and Mark Lieberman
(177) sidelined with a knee injury.
Cal Poly warmed up for the
battle with easy quadrangular
triumphs over Tennessee, 30-8,
and Southern Illinois, 39-3.
Tennessee eventually outscored
Southern Illinois, 19-15, to
salvage one triumph while the
Salukis returned to Carbondale,
HI., with an 0-3 quad record.
The four Engineers who led the
way during the tournament, each
with three victories in three
appearances, were 126-pounder
Lance Leonhardt of Bethlehem,
Pa., 142-pounder Bob Sloand of
Landing, N.J., 190-pound freshman Mike Brown of Bethlehem
and heavyweight Don McCorkel
of Hershey, Pa.
They had to share some of the
laurels for the sweep, however,
with 118-pound freshman Steve
