New Contract
For Coach
John Whitehead, head coach
of football at Lehigh since 1976,
has accepted a new three-year
contract. The announcement
was made by Bill Leckonby,
director of athletics at the
University.
Whitehead, who came to the
Engineers as offensive line
coach in 1967 and was promoted
to the head coaching berth nine
years later following the departure of Fred Dunlap to Colgate,
has directed Lehigh teams to 57
victories against 23 losses and
two ties.
This has placed him second
among Lehigh's all-time "winn-
ingest" football coaches. Only
Leckonby, whose teams won 85
games from 1946 through 1961,
hung up more victories.
"He has done an exceptionally fine job," said Leckonby,
"and the University felt that an
extension of his contract was in
order."
STANFORD CAPTAIN PETE LIKINS
Wrestling Hall of Fame
Berth For LU President
By SAM CONNOR
Public Information Director
Lehigh University
Dr. Peter Likins, age 46, president of Lehigh, has been
elected a member of the
National Wrestling Hall of
Fame. Announcement was
made by Robert Dellinger,
director of the Hall of Fame
headquartered in Stillwater,
Oklahoma.
Dr. Likins, a scholar-athlete
during his undergraduate
career at Stanford, was chosen
to be included in the Hall of
Fame's "Career Corner," a
special division in the wrestling
museum for men who not only
excelled in wrestling but also
are excelling in their career and
life after graduation from
college.
The Lehigh president, who
was elected to Phi Beta Kappa
and Tau Beta Pi at Stanford and
was captain of the varsity wrestling team in 1957, was undefeated in dual meets at 137 and
147 pounds throughout four
years of intercollegiate
competition.
He earned silver medals in
the Pacific Coast Conference
Championships and the AAU
Far Western Freestyle Championships as a collegian. As a
high school wrestler in Santa
Cruz, Cal-, he was named out
standing Wrestler at the Northern California State Championships.
Dr. Likins joins such men in
the Hall of Fame's "Career
Corner" as Dr. Norman E. Bor-
laug, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who wrestled at the
University of Minnesota and is
now an internationally-known

House of Representatives, who

G. Corr, current Ambassador to

Before becoming president of
Lehigh on July 1, 1982, Dr. Likins served as provost of Columbia University. Prior to that
position he was associated with
the University of California at
Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Jet
Propulsion Lab of the California
Institute of Technology as an
educator and engineer with an
international reputation for
substantial contributions to the
field of spacecraft dynamics
and control.
He earned his S.M. in civil
engineering at M.I.T. in 1958
and his Ph.D. in engineering
mechanics in 1965 from Stanford, from where he also earned
his B.S. degree in civil engineering in 1957.
He and his wife served as football and wrestling coaches for
youth teams in Park Ridge,
N.J., where they resided with
their six children before moving
to Bethlehem.
Leopards Gain 34-6 Victory
Before 18,000; Godbolt Stars
Lehigh's hopes of avoiding its
first losing season since 1972
vanished quickly last Saturday
under a deluge of "big play"
points which produced a 34-6
victory for Lafayette before
18,000 fans at Fisher Field.
It was the 118th game in college football's most-played series, the second straight triumph
for the Leopards, but only their
third in the last 14 contests.
They finished the campaign at
7-and-3 while Lehigh was 4-and-
6.
The annual Most Valuable
Player award, determined by a
vote of the news media covering
the game, went to Lafayette
flanker Jack Gatehouse who
caught five passes for 115 yards
and a touchdown.
All of this activity came in the
first half as the Leopards built a
24-0 lead. The Engineers shut
him down completely after the
intermission but the damage
already had been done. Defensive end Brian Guttman, whose
five sacks helped to disrupt the
Lehigh aerial game, was second
in the voting and offensive halfback Eddie Godbolt of the Engineers placed third.
Godbolt had a brilliant day,
the most successful of his
career, with 37 carries for 187
yards, one reception of a pass
for 26 yards and four kickoff
returns for 79 yards, totaling 292
all-purpose yards. His 187 yards
rushing, although gaining considerable   attention,   is   far
removed from Lehigh's one-
game record. Jack Rizzo piled
up 313 yards in 31 tries during a
48-19 rout of Lafayette in 1971 for
the Engineer mark.
Godbolt's tireless efforts
made the final statistics somewhat surprising. Despite bowing by 28 points the Engineers
led in first downs, 20-17, and
yards rushing, 261-199, while
Lafayette was on top in yards
passing, 165-150, and total
yards, 351-330.
The back-breaking difference
was in return yardage (punt
