The wrestling team beat
Navy at its own game in Halsey
Field House, as the Engineers
juggled their lineup to counter
some early surprises by the
Midshipmen and overcame a 12-
^J^jk Ijlll " ' 0 deficit en route to a 28-12
victory.
Navy head coach Ed Peery
and   Lehigh   mentor   Thad
Turner  both  made important
'l||||k    ^WJStT'    ^ strategical moves in the match.
Although Turner's decision to
forfeit at 134 pounds and move
Jim Frick to  142 helped the
/ , Engineers to victory, Peery felt
that   Lehigh   simply   wrestled
tougher than his own team.

Matt Treaster, and Craig Dellorso to drop down one weight
class, a move that caught
Turner a little off guard.
"I wasn't surprised that Dellorso dropped," said Turner.
"They always juggle against us,
but I didn't expect the other
guys would be down."
Peery's strategy worked, as
Navy staked itself to a 12-0 lead.
At 118 pounds, Stanford, who
was 175-14-1 as a PIAA state
champ, used a five-point move
in the first period to stun Engineer freshman Rick Hartman
(Lakewood, Ohio). Hartman
scored an initial takedown, but
Stanford came through with a
Peterson roll that had Hartman
fighting off his back.
The Engineer closed the gap
to 5-4 after the second period,
but Stanford added an escape
and a takedown in the final
period to make it 9-5.
Treaster used two takedowns,
an escape and a point for riding
time to topple Mike Price
(Bloomsbury, N.J.), 6-1, at 126
pounds, making the team score
6-0.
Turner was forced to put on
his thinking cap, and seeing that
Navy sent Dellorso, a former
EIWA champion with a 19-3-1
record to the mat, decided to
forfeit the weight and move
Frick (Columbia, N.J.) to 142.
Frick got the job done against
the unorthodox Lee Miller, scoring six first period points en
route to a 6-2 victory. All the
points in the bout v/ere scored in
the initial frame.
Frick's victory stopped the
Navy momentum, and sparked
the Engineers.
In a bout that Peery felt his
team needed to win, senior C.J.-
Mears (No. Canton, Ohio) decisioned Scott Manning, 7-3, at 150
pounds. Mears was in control
the entire bout, taking Manning
down three times while allowing
only three escapes to run his
record to 16-7-2.
Junior Peter Yozzo (Sayville,
N.Y.). who is still riding the
crest of his big victory last Monday night in the East-West All-
Star Classic over No. 1 ranked
Joe Gibbons of Iowa St., gave
Navy freshman Paul Radomski
a clinic at 158 pounds.
Radomski never had a
prayer. Yozzo stormed out to an
11-3 lead after the first period,
