Chuck Wessel, whom I last heard was still working in the Triangle, and after whom the "Wesselmania" tournaments at N. C. State held in the 90's were named, was the stalwart scorer of that program. Ben Lea, whom I last heard of at Missouri-Rolla, was also a memorable player. The '87 NCT was broadcast on the Disney Channel. The N. C. State library may have tapes; I know the College Bowl Company, Inc. does. In 1968, N.C. State's College Bowl team was clobbered by Brandeis on live TV. The game was played May 19, 1968; so campus newspapers from around that date will have stories and player names. Some of this is from memory, and some is from the College Bowl web site www.collegebowl.com, where the best records they have of school histories dating back to 1959 are available on-line. Records of the radio years 1953-1959 are not yet available; although the existence of tapes of about 100 of those shows in a private collection in New England make that possible someday.
