Top Team
Lehigh wrestlers launched
their season with a 24-18 dual
victory at Wilkes College and a
second place finish in their
second annual Sheridan
Invitational.
Cal Poly won the Sheridan
tournament, advancing nine of
its 10 grapplers the first day
while the Engineers could only
move five ahead.
Lehigh made a strong comeback, eventually placing the
most individual champions (4)
but the Mustangs' depth proved
too much to overcome,,
Bobby Weaver (118) of
Easton, Pa., Darryl Burley
(134) of Pemberton, N.J., Jim
Reilly (167) of North Wales, Pa.,
and Colin Kilrain (177) of Brain-

Scheduled
It's football playoff time
again for Lehigh on Saturday
(12/13) as the Engineers host
Eastern Kentucky University in
Taylor Stadium at 1 p.m.
The pairing is a classic
rematch of last year's national
championship finale, at
Orlando, Fla., in which the
Colonels defeated Lehigh, 30-7.
Lehigh (9-0-2) hasn't dropped
a game since while EKU (9-2)
has lost only to Akron, 21-10, and
Western Kentucky, 13-10. The
Colonels have beaten Kentucky
State, Youngstown, Austin
Peay, Middle Tennessee, East
Tennessee, Murray State, Tennessee Tech, East Carolina and
Morehead State.
This will be Lehigh's fifth
playoff appearance in the eight
years in which post-season
action has been scheduled
beginning in 1973.
The Engineers are 4-3 in
playoff competition.
They dropped their first game
at Western Kentucky in 1973 by
a 25-16 score and their second, at
home in 1975, to New Hampshire, 35-21. In both of those contests they took a lead into the
fourth quarter.
In 1977 the losing spell was
broken as the Engineers went
all the way to the Div. 2 national
championship on the road, winning 30-23 at Massachusetts, 39-
30 over Cal Davis at Sacramento, Calif., and 33-0 over
Jacksonville, Ala., State in the
Pioneer Bowl at Wichita Falls,
Tex.
They moved into the newly-
created 1-AA division in 1978,

Blue Leads Engineers Past
Middies With 17- Pt. Effort
Charlie Blue's 17 points led
Lehigh's basketball team to an
upset victory at Navy last Saturday, 55-53, the Engineers'
third triumph in their first four
starts.
Earlier Coach Brian Hill's
squad topped Moravian, 52-49,
and Lebanon Valley, 89-60,
while losing at Temple, 97-62.
Tuesday (12/9) the Engineers
host Hofstra in their last game
before the holiday break.
Lehigh stunned the Middies,
at Annapolis, as Blue converted
four tries from the foul line as
the teams battled neck and neck
down the stretch.
Blue, of East Orange, N.J.,
emerged as the game's leading
scorer sinking seven field goals
in 13 attempts. Tom Unger, of
Boyertown, Pa., added nine
while Fred Ketcho, of Wood-
Ridge, N. J., and Mike Power, of
Doylestown, Pa., had eight
apiece.
Brian Collins, 6-7 sophomore
from Manville, N. J., played the
last 10 minutes with four personal fouls and grabbed eight
key rebounds.
In the earlier victories Collins
(18 points), Kevin Riley (17) of
Philadelphia, Pa., Ketcho (14)
and Rick Coppola (12) of Livingston, N.J., led the way against
Lebanon Valley. Ketcho (13),
Blue (10) and Power (9) were
leaders in the victory over Moravian. Collins (15) and Riley
(12) paced Lehigh against
Temple.
Lehigh officially accepted the
1980 Lambert Cup, emblematic
of eastern medium-sized school
football supremacy, at a luncheon last Thursday in New
York City.
Bill Leckonby, the University's director of athletics, and
John Whitehead, head football
coach, represented the
Engineers.
