Basketball Team Surprises
American At Stabler, 73-68
Shrugging off a 6-game losing
streak, and the absence of its
leading scorer, Lehigh's basketball team upset highly-favored
American last Saturday at the
Stabler Athletic and Convocation
Center, 73-68.
It was a remarkable turnabout
for the Engineers of Coach Brian
Hill who simply took the game
away from the much-taller
Eagles with 40 minutes of
aggressive, hustling basketball.
Earlier in the week Lehigh was
defeated at Gettysburg. 74-59
and at Drexel, 83-77, during
contests in which the Engineers
outscored both teams from the
floor only to lose from the free
throw line.
They obviously were paying
attention because against
American they won in the same
manner, trailing 28-21 in field
goals but piling up a 31-12 margin
from the foul stripe. The Eagles
had the top individual scorer, in
all-conference star Boo Bowers
who netted 24 points, but Lehigh's
better-balanced attack overcame
this problem.
Charley Blue, of East Orange,
N.J., and Mike Power, of Doyles-
town, Pa., had big weeks for the
Brown and White. Blue collected
50 points in the three contests
with 13 at Gettysburg, 22 at
Drexel and 15 against American.
Power had 16 at Gettysburg, 10 at
Drexel and 18 in the big win over
American, for a total of 44.
These kind of performances,
especially against American,
took up the slack caused by the
absence of Jeff Vandemark of
Mahwah, N.J., the seasonal
scoring leader who's sidelined
with a bad ankle following an
Women
Lehigh's women's basketball
team won once and lost twice in
the Snowflake Tournament held
Friday and Saturday at Ship-
pensburg State.
The Engineers opened with a
59-48 loss to Millersville in which
Mary Zdrocoff of Allentown, Pa.,
netted 13 points and Sharon Beltz
of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, added 10.
In their second appearance the
Lehigh women downed Clarion,
83-63, before losing to Slippery
Rock, 58-52.
Karen Lelinski of Levittown,
Pa., netted 26 points including 12
in a row to open the second half
against Clarion while Beltz and
Zdrocoff had 14 each and Laurie
Gregg of Wellesley, Mass., and
Helga Schlape of Florham Park,
M.J., netted 10 apiece.
injury at Rutgers Jan. 8. Vandemark, a senior with 964 career
points, may be out for the rest of
the campaign with ligament
damage.
Little Bob Epstein, a 5-7, ball-
handling guard from York, Pa.,
who serves as an Engineer tri-
captain, came off the bench
against American in a situation
which called for his dribbling
talents.
Lehigh, after building up a 66-
60 lead largely on the scoring of
Power, Blue, Kevin Riley of
Philadelphia, Pa., and freshman
Fred Ketcho of Wood-Ridge,
N.J., needed Epstein to direct a
clock-killing effort in the final
minutes.
American sliced this lead to a
single basket at 68-66 with 47
seconds left to play but Epstein

Wrestlers Defeat Pittsburgh
47-4, Winning Nine Bouts
Four falls and two defaults
helped Lehigh pad its score
Saturday as the Engineer
wrestlers rolled over Pittsburgh
in Fitzgerald Fieldhouse, 47-4, for
their fifth victory in seven dual
meets.
Leadoff man Rich Santoro of
Bethlehem, Pa., at 118, set the
tempo of the meet when he
needed just 38 seconds to dispose
of Mark Yurich and give Lehigh
an early 6-0 advantage.
The other pins were registered
by Tommy Bold of Bethlehem, at
150, Colin Kilrain of Braintree,
Mass., at 177, and Mike Brown of
Bethlehem at 190.
NCAA champ Darryl Burley of
Pemberton, N.J., competing at
142 pounds for the first time, and
freshman Roy Lobdell of Deposit,
N.Y., representing the Engineers
at 167, accepted defaults when
their opponents couldn't continue
because of injuries.
Three other Lehigh grapplers
took decisions.
At 126 Steve Bastianelli, of
Georgetown, Del., scored the
only takedown of his bout against
Bill Clark to finish on top, 3-2.
Pete Schuyler of Bound Brook,
N.J., wrestling at 134 for the first
time, won 11-2 over Glenn Nacion
and at 158 Jim Reilly, of North
Wales, Pa., romped to a 12-3
margin against Eric Harris.
Steve Smocharski, 6-9 and 420
pounds, was Pitt's only winner as
he downed Drew Keiser, 6-3 and
300, of Sinking Spring, Pa., 10-2,
in the last bout on the card.
Smocharski had a takedown and
3-point near fall early in the bout,
for a 5-point move, and Keiser
never could catch up.
Burley had difficulty with
Gordon early in the bout but was
out front by a comfortable
margin when the Panther
matman defaulted. Lobdell, in
only  his  second   varsity   ap
pearance, gave up three takedowns and back points before
struggling to win against Chendy
who injured a shoulder in the
third period.
The pins and defaults enabled
Lehigh to match a school record
for most points in a dual meet set
Jan. 9 when the Engineers routed
Southern Illinois, 47-2.
Schuyler and Burley, both up a
notch in weight, had a chance to
work at their new spots in case
Coach Thad Turner decides to
use them there Saturday afternoon in the big meet against
Penn State at Stabler Athletic
and Convocation Center.
Prior to the Pitt meet Turner
said he'd have Burley "down
again for the tournaments" but
refused to say where he'd spot the
NCAA champion against the
Nittany Lions.
Burley, Kilrain and Brown
have the best individual marks
for Lehigh this season, all at 9-1.
Santoro is close behind, at 8-2.
Bastianelli is 4-1, Reilly 6-2,
Bold 6-3, Schuyler 4-2, Keiser 5-5
and Lobdell 1-1.
