STABLER ATHLETIC
Lehigh Shows Off
Stabler A & CC
More than 40 press, radio and
television representatives joined
officials of Lehigh last Wednesday in a press preview of the
new Stabler Athletic and Convocation Center.
The Stabler A and CC, located
in the Saucon Fields area of the
University campus, is a $3.7
million dollar milti-purpose
facility designed to seat 6,000
spectators.
Donald B. Stabler, Lehigh '30,
major donor of funds for the
building, and Mrs. Stabler were
among speakers at the press
preview. Stabler, a trustee, is
chief executive of Stabler Companies, Inc., a group of road
building companies based in
Harrisburg, Pa.
In his remarks he stressed that
the building would be a means of
"melding the University and the
townsfolk closer together"
through its use for community
and civic purposes along with
University functions.
Also speaking were Richard
Fritz, director of events at the
Center, trustee emeritus Edward
Curtis, director of athletics Bill
Leckonby, basketball coach
Brian Hill and Gerry Leeman,
director of special sports events
at Lehigh and associate wrestling
coach.
Frank Rabold, also a Lehigh
trustee, served as master of
ceremonies. The Center will be
dedicated in December.
Booters Hand OD First Defeat
Lehigh soccermen handed Old
Dominion its first loss of the
season Sunday in a Parents
Weekend attraction at the Saucon
bowl, 3-2, in overtime.
Bob Belshaw and David Joynt,
both of Bethlehem, Pa., provided
the Engineer goals. Belshaw
scored once during regulation
time and had the winner in the
first extra period. Joynt tallied
the other goal.
Mike Robinson of Philadelphia,
Pa. and Joynt each was credited
with an assist.
Goalie Kris Talgo, of
Mamaroneck, N.Y., registered 22
saves. Coach Manny Tavormina's Engineers now have a 4-2-
1 record while Old Dominion, of
Norfolk, Va., is 4-1-2.
