That's how the Lions upset Pitt for the last two —by identical 14-11 score: It's all a part of strategy and Lehigh Coach Gerry Leemaa Is probably following the same plan. He has not set up any definite starting lineup either. However, certain positions are almost certain. They are in the middle weights where two-year vet Leon Harbold, 137, defending 147-pound EIWA champ Dick Santoro, 147, and rookie star Greg Ruth, 157, hold the fort. The other possible Engineer start ere are Jim Schmoyor at 123. Kurt Laughinghouso, ox Ed Slater at 130, Thad Turner at IS7, and Ed Hamer, John Dris coll or Russ Triponey at 177 and heavyweight. According to a source close to the Lehigh scene, the Engineers expect no trouble in the 130, 147 or 157 duels with a "sure win" due at 147. They see the 137 and 167 matches as the key battles, with possible wins coming at 123 and 177 depending on who wrestles for them. Oberly is con ceded a victory at heavyweight— but, of course, why not? Just what will happen tonight is anybody’s guess, including Speidel’s, Leeman’s and a crazy, mixed-up sports writer.

The baby Engineers smothered Cornell in their initial encounter by a 33-3 score. Lehigh won the first match by a decision, then proceeded to register six straight falls—three of them in the first period—before bowing in the heavyweight bout. Tony Scordo will open for the Lion cubs against Bob Dalling in the 123-pound class. Art Ravitz will follow at 130 with Mike Greiner as his opponent. The 137-pound bout will pit the Lions’ Ray Connell against Cur tis Alexander and John Barone will meet Sterling Sowden in the 147-pound class.

But Ray has also graduated and Owl coach Carl Patterson will be counting on his top man, Stan Chatis, to give Werner a close battle for the top honor. Chatis and Werner will meet in another event that should be close if past scores are any indication. The Owl aces edged Werner for second place in the parallel bar event last year. 227-226.
