Turner Named Coach-of- Year
He Follows
Dan Gable
Thad Turner, who has guided
Lehigh to four Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Assn. team
titles and three finishes in the Top
Five nationally during the last
five seasons, has been named
college wrestling's Coach of the
Year for 1979.
His selection was announced by
the executive committee of The
National Wrestling Coaches
Assn. following its annual
meeting at West Palm Beach,
Fla. Last year's choice was Dan
Gable of Iowa.
He's only the second easterner
named national Coach of the
Year since the voting began in
1958. The earlier choice was Ed
Peery of the Naval Academy.
Gerry Leeman, director of
special sports events at Lehigh
and associate wrestling coach, is
president-elect of the coaches
association. Leeman coached
Lehigh teams to 18 winning
seasons in 18 years before
moving into the administrative
end of the University's athletic
program following the 1969-70
season.
Turner, Eastern Coach of the
Year in 1975, directed Lehigh to
third place in the NCAA Tournament last March as the
Engineers trailed only title-
winning Iowa and runnerup Iowa
State with 69% points, most ever
Thad Turner
for Lehigh in the Nationals.
Earlier in the campaign the
Engineers had taken 12 of 17 dual
meets and won a record 22nd
EIWA team championship.
A native of Philipsburg, Pa.,
Turner was a two-time EIWA
champion as an undergraduate at
Lehigh, a national runnerup,
Most Outstanding Wrestler in the
1961 EIWA tournament and
captain of his team. He had a 31-
1-2 dual meet record. He began
his coaching career at Phillip-
sburg, N.J., High School where
his teams had a 98-14-4 mark over
nine seasons.
He returned to Lehigh, his
alma mater, as head coach for
the 1970-1 season as the personal
choice of Leeman, his college
coach.

5 Interceptions, Fumble Recovery
Key Factors; Mike Ford Gets TD
Lehigh's football squad, once
again spearheaded by an impressive defensive unit which
seems to get stronger each week,
hung a 16-3 loss on the University
of New Hampshire last weekend
before 15,400 Homecoming Day
fans in Durham, N.H.
The Engineer defenders
refused to allow anyone across
their goal line for the second
straight game, following a 10-0
shutout of Davidson one week
earlier, as they picked off five
New Hampshire passes and
recovered a fumble to provide the
offense with six turnovers.
New Hampshire never drove
inside the Engineer 20-yard line
and managed its only points on a
field goal after recovering a
fumbled punt on the Lehigh 20
early in the contest and advancing only to the 13 in three
plays. Except for that opportunity the Wildcats never
mounted a serious threat.
After a couple of punt exchanges linebacker Jim McCormick, of Millville, N.J., put
Lehigh on the end zone doorstep
when he returned an intercepted
pass 22 yards to the UNH 4. Three
plays later fullback Mike Ford, of
Kansas City, Mo., drove the final
yard across the goal line and
placekicker Ted Iobst, of Em-
maus, Pa., converted for a 7-3
Engineer lead.
Early in the second period
Iobst, who played almost the
entire game at linebacker
following an injury to Ron Witte
of Asbury, N.J., recovered a
fumbled on the Lehigh 39. Aided
by a pair of 15-yard penalties and
a 14-yard pass from quarterback
Rich Andres of Millville, N.J., to
halfback Jeff Bernstein of
Randallstown, Md., the
Engineers reached the UNH 15
and  lobst's 33-yard  field  goal

Kenilworth, N.J., first tipped a
pass away from a receiver at the
last second and then deflected
another which linebacker Bruce
Rarig of Whitehall, Pa., grabbed
at the UNH 28. Lehigh moved to
the 10, then to the 2, where a 19-
yard field goal by Iobst provided
three more points and a 13-3
advantage.
Several minutes later, after a
kickoff and a Wildcat punt, the
Engineers marched from their
own 40 to the UNH 24 and this
time Roger Penske of Gladwyne,
Pa., a soccer-style booter with
more range than Iobst, was
called upon for another field goal.
He connected from 42 yards out
and the day's scoring was
completed at 16-3.
Two long returns by UNH
speedster Dave Loehle, a wide
receiver, almost got New
Hampshire off the hook in the
second half. First he raced 59
yards with a kickoff before
Penske helped bring him down,
and later he had a 57-yard run-
back on which punter Dave Ryan,
of Guilderland, N.Y., made a
last-man, touchdown-saving
tackle.
Ryan had an excellent punting
day, averaging 41 yards a kick.
He bounced one on the UNH 1-
yard line, where it was downed,
and one of his other efforts
