New Football Loop Proposed
Navy Defense Stops Engineers
Second Half
Breakaway
For Middies
A rock-ribbed Navy defense
dominated play last Saturday
as the Middies handed Lehigh
its first football shutout in 68
games before 23,000 fans at
Annapolis, 30-0.
The winners allowed the
Engineers only seven first
downs, two in the second half, 13
net yards rushing, intercepted
five passes and recovered a
fumble.
Two long returns in the fourth
quarter afforded Lehigh scoring opportunities but the Navy
defenders managed to keep the
door tightly shut. The first came
as Mike Lippincott of Easton,
PA, ran 59 yards with an intercepted pass to the Middie 20.
Four straight Engineer aerials
were unsuccessful. The second
came as Peter Schreck, of West
Lawn, PA, returned a kickoff 54
yards to the Navy 28. Four plays
later Lehigh relinquished the
ball at the 32 on an interception.
With the offense unable to
keep the ball any length of time

LU President,
Ivy League
Back Plan
The presidents of Lehigh,
Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross,
Lafayette and William and
Mary have announced that discussions are moving forward on
the possible formation of a new
football league, to be called the
Colonial League.
It is anticipated that such a
league would be associated with
the Ivy League, including inter-
league football scheduling
agreements.
The purpose of the new league
would be to bring together a
group of institutions of higher
learning which enjoy comparable academic standards of
admission and achievement, as
well as historically long
commitments to intercollegiate
athletics.
The league has been actively
advanced by Lehigh President
Peter Likins, whose recent
experience as Columbia provost
encouraged him in October of
1982 to propose the idea of this
new league as a "sister" to the
Ivy League, with intersecting
schedules.
Dr. Likins sees in the Colonial
League an opportunity to
advance the highest principles
of intercollegiate athletics
while at the same time streng-
