Engineers Place 6 Grapplers
During West Coast Tourney
Lehigh matmen finished sixth
in the NCAA tournament at
Oregon State last weekend,
placing six of eight wrestlers but
failing to take an individual
championship.
Coach Thad Turner's squad
had 56'/4 points and was edged for
fifth position by Arizona State's
56V2 total.
Engineer grapplers wrestled 40
bouts and won 26 of them.
Darryl Burley, a national
champion in 1979, placed second
at 134 this year to Randy Lewis of
Iowa, the 1979 winner at 126. The
Lehigh star, a sophomore from
Pemberton, N.J., led Lewis early
in their title finale but fell to
defeat on the strength of two
near-falls and time advantage in
the third period as the Iowa ace
dominated the last four minutes
of the bout.
Other Lehigh place-winners
were Colin Kilrain of Braintree,
Mass., third at 177; Rich Santoro
of Bethlehem, Pa., sixth at 118;
Mike Brown of Bethlehem,
seventh at 190; Denis Reed of
Enola, Pa., seventh at 142, and
Jim Reilly of North Wales, Pa.,
eighth at 158. Only 126-pounder
Steve Bastianelli of Georgetown,
Del. and heavyweight Drew
Keiser of Sinking Spring, _ Pa.,
failed to earn one of the top eight
places in his division.
Kilrain's loss in the semi-finals
to eventual winner Ed Banach, of
Iowa, came during a bout which
many observers declared the
most exciting of the tourney. The
Engineer matman had things all
his own way in the early going,
piling up a 9-3 lead and time
advantage, before being banged
hard to the mat during a four-
point maneuver by Banach.
He was stunned, needed injury
time, and eventually dropped a
12-11   verdict.   There   were   in-
COLIN KILRAIN
dications he'd have to go to the
sidelines with a concussion, and
miss the remainder of the
tourney, but he came back one
day later to win a pair of consolation bouts and nail down his
No. 3 finish.
Brown, attempting to become
the first Lehigh star ever to place
in four national tournaments,
achieved that goal although he
was upset by Noel Loban of
Clemson (the eventual winner) in
the semis. He also dropped a
consolation round decision but
