Nearing Lehigh Point Title
Lehigh's basketball team was
busy during the holiday break.
The Engineers played six
times, including Albright and
Fairfield invitational tournaments, and won twice to bring
their record to 5-and-8.
At Reading, Pa., they dropped
a 91-71 decision to host Albright in
the first round of that tourney but
came back one night later to whip
Amherst for third place, 82-61.
The following week they
dropped another first round
game to Fairfield, 108-74, at
Fairfield, Conn., and again came
back with a strong effort the
following night before bowing to
St. Francis of Loretto, Pa., 85-83.
In a unique doubleheader at
Moravian College the Engineers
buried Fairleigh-Dickinson of
Madison, N.J., by a 65-point
margin, 96-31, in their part of the
twin bill. Moravian whipped
Ursinus in the nightcap.
The final appearance during
the semester break came at
Seton Hall where the high-
powered Pirates prevailed, 96-71.
Senior forward Charlie Brown,
of Morristown, N.J., continued
his bid to become Lehigh's all-
time scoring champion as he
reached 1,128.
Only Bob Fortune (1,242 from
1968-70) and Norm Brand! (1,231
from 1959-62) have totaled more
points for Lehigh cage teams.
Brown already has surpassed
fellow 1,000-point marksmen
Johnny Waters, Hank Wisniewski
and Ed Cahn.
Brown needs only 115 points in
Lehigh's remaining 13 games to
set a new career mark.
