Seniors Hank Wisniewski of
Rochelle Park, N.J., and Terry
Martin of Cliffside Park, N.J.,
paced Lehigh's basketball team
during a three-game southern
swing as the Engineers posted a
1—2 mark.
This followed a 1—1 record in
the Scranton Invitational when
Lehigh dropped a 77—66 decision
to title-winning William and
Mary on the first night but came
back with a 71—67 edge over
Scranton in the consolation
contest.
Down, South the Engineers
dropped their opener to Stetson at
Deland, Fla., 84—78, retaliated
with a 79—71 triumph over
Eckerd College in St. Petersburg,
Fla., and then toppled before.
North Carolina State's highly-
ranked Wolfpack at Raleigh,
N.C., 115—53.
Coach Tom Pugliese's club
takes a 3—8 seasonal mark into
action this week. The Engineers
face another major opponent
Tuesday, West Virginia at
Morgantown, W.Va., before
returning to Grace Hall for
contests against Drexel on
Wednesday and Elizabethtown on
Saturday.
Wisniewski, the team's 6—8
scoring and rebound leader,
totaled 51 points in the trio of
southern contests to go along with
38 points and 28 rebounds at
Scranton where he was named to
the all-tourney team. His career
scoring total has reached 823 as
he bids to become only the fourth
Lehigh eager in history to gain
the 1,000-point mark.
He needs 177 more and he has

14 games remaining barring
injury or illness.
Martin netted 39 points in the
three southern appearances and
sophomore Hal Lambert, of New
Brunswick, N.J., had 37. Junior
Dave Rubenzahl, of Scarsdale,
N.Y., was fourth in scoring with
21.
Lehigh, trailing Stetson 81—68
with only a minute left, rattled off
10 points including six free
throws to narrow the gap before
running out of time. The game
was knotted at 56—56 when
Stetson used a 13—point outburst
to take charge late in the second
half as the Engineers suddenly
went cold.
Eckerd, formerly Florida
Presbyterian, couldn't match the
Engineers' balance as Martin
pumped     home     19     points,
Wisniewski had 16, Lambert 15
and freshman George Belfield 16.
Four baskets in a row, by
Belfield, gave the Engineers a
60—49 spread.
The Floridians (10—2) staged a
strong rally, cutting their deficit
to 71—67 with two minutes to
play, but seven straight foul
conversions by Martin sewed up
the decision.
N.C. State, one of the nation's
cage powerhouses, shot a solid 54
per cent before 11,000 rooters to
roll up its one-sided margin. Tom
Burleson, a 7-4 center, had 30
points and super-soph Dave
Thompson added 23.
Lehigh held the Pack to a 12—7
lead for the first few minutes
before 12—point and 15—point
strings enabled the favorites to
break loose.
Impress In Tourney
Dave Rubenzahl and Hal
Lambert, a pair of underclassmen, made impressive
showings as substitutes in a
holiday basketball tournament at
Scranton, Pa.
Rubenzahl, a junior from
Scarsdale, N.Y., netted 23 points
in two tourney contests. Lambert, a sophomore from New
Brunswick, N.J., had 21.
They were topped only by 6-8
center Hank Wisniewski of
Rochelle Park, N.J., with 38, and
little Terry Martin of Cliffside
Park, N.J., with 22. Wisniewski,
who also hauled down 28
rebounds, was named to the all-
tournament quintet.
Lehigh finished third, defeating
host Scranton 71-66 in the consolation finale after bowing on
opening night to William and
Mary from the floor, 25-21, but
the Indians converted 35 of 42 free
throws to get the decision. Lehigh
was awarded 22 foul tries, con-

verting 16 of them.
Lehigh, trailing by 19 at 47-28 in
the second half, cut its deficit to
five at 60-55 but couldn't get any
closer as the Southern Conference entry poured in a steady
stream of free throws.
Wisniewski had 24 points
against William and Mary along
with 15 rebounds. He shut off
William and Mary's highly-
touted frosh center, 6-11 Matt

Mike Frick, Tom Sculley and
Kim Hagedorn paced Lehigh
wrestlers during a successful
western swing, each winning
three times.
Coach Thad Turner's
Engineers whipped Cincinnati,
24-11, Ball State at Muncie, Ind.,
30-15, and Indiana State at Terre
Haute, 22-14, before bowing to
Oklahoma, 31-9.
Lehigh returns to Grace Hall
Thursday night, Jan. 18, against
NCAA champion Iowa State
which features Olympic giant
Chris Taylor, a 425-pound
national title-holder.
The western journey left the
Engineers with a 7-3 seasonal
mark in their quest for a 21st
consecutive winning campaign.
Frick, the 118-pound super
freshman from Hamburg, N.J.,
didn't compete at Cincinnati
because he failed to make weight
by a single pound. He was unstoppable the rest of the way,
however, with a fall at 2:18
against Bruce Moss of Ball State,
a pin in 2:42 against Ernie Hall of
Indiana State and a superior
decision, 14-4, over freshman
Steve Breece of Oklahoma.
Sculley, 134-pound co-captain
from Bethlehem, went to the mat
four times without a loss. He
topped highly-rated Howard Fox
of Cincinnati, 5-3, Marco Teran of
Ball State, 8-0, and Dennis
Goldburg of Indiana State, 4-3,
before drawing 3-3 with Brian
Beatson of Oklahoma.

All-Star Wrestlers
At Lehigh Feb. 5
Two national champions, Wade Schalles of Clarion State and
Tom Milkovich of Michigan State, are among wrestlers selected
to represent the East in the 7th annual all-star test against the
West on Monday, Feb. 5, in Grace Hall on the Lehigh campus.
Gerry Leeman of Lehigh, the meet director, announced that
Schalles would be at 158 and Milkovich at 142.
Jarrett Hubbard of Michigan, runnerup to Schalles in last
year's NCAA finals, will represent the East at 150.
Leeman and coaches Bill Koll (East) and Bill Nelson (West)
are lining up 20 of the nation's most outstanding collegiate
grappjers for the all-star test which will begin at 7:30 p.m.
The meet is being sponsored by Lehigh in conjunction with the
Freedom High School, Bethlehem, Booster Club, on behalf of the
NCAA Wrestling Coaches Assn. All seats are reserved at $3
apiece and Lehigh's regular student, faculty and staff identification passes CANNOT be honored.
Tickets are on sale in athletic departments at Lehigh,

School, Bethlehem Catholic High School, First Valley Bank of
Bethlehem (Main St.), the Beef Baron in Shoppers Village,
Bethlehem, Panik Barber Shop, 1718 Englewood Ave.,
Bethlehem, Miz's Place, 2446 Freemansburg Ave., Easton, and
Travisano's Bakery, 620 Main St., Hellertown.
Washington, N.J., dropped his
opening match to Bill Wier of
Cincinnati, 8-3, but came back
strong to down Gene Jackson of
Ball State, 7-3, Steve Barkman of
Indiana State, also 7-3, and Dave
Rankin of Oklahoma, 7-5.
Hagedorn, who suffered severe
cuts in a non-athletic injury prior
to the trip, had been a
questionable quantity as the
Engineers headed westward.
Other winning matmen on the
trek included 158-pounder Craig
Reimer of Nazareth, Pa., 2-1-1,
Terry DeStito of Enola, Pa., 2-1-1
at 177, and 190-pounder Mike
