Emerging Colonial League
By Peter Likins
vWS
The vision of the Colonial League,
shared by a few college and university
presidents six years ago, is emerging
into the full view of the public. The
dream will not be fully realized until at
least 1992, a full decade after I wrote a letter to my colleagues
proposing the league in October of 1982.
The journey has not been easy, but the destination now
visible is splendid beyond all our early expectations. If our
goals can be reached.there will be much to feel good about on
all Colonial League campuses.
The national environment for intercollegiate athletics is
changing in ways that permit the Colonial League schools to
emerge as leaders in a national movement to restore some of the
traditions and treasured values of collegiate sports. We believe
deeply in the values of athletic competition intertwined with the
holistic education of young men and women. But these values
are lost if campus athletes are perceived as "hired guns" -
mercenary warriors who are not part of the natural population of
the campus. That is why the most fundamental principle of the
Colonial League is the concept of the "'student-athlete," and the
firm requirement that our athletes be academically representative of their student bodies.
In 1988 the Colonial League is still very young, but the form
of its future is clear. The league will involve about eight schools
of common philosophy and high academic standards, participating in twenty or more sports. Current plans for league play in

The
halts Lehigh, 14-6
By MEGAN CULHANE

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Despite strong
efforts from both the offense and defense,
Lehigh suffered its first loss, 14-6, at the hands
of William & Mary last Saturday.
Kicker Erik Bird's two field goals - a 19-
yarder seven minutes in the first quarter and a
24-yarder in the second - were the sole scores
for the Brown and White.
Although signal-caller Mark McGowan
(Essex Fells, NJ) engineered two early potential
scoring opportunities, Lehigh was stifled at the
goal line by a strong William & Mary defense.
Ironically, both squads seemed to have
mirror-image drives that ended in forced field
goals - a tribute to the defensive efforts of both
teams.
Gary Karnish (Lansford, Pa) was the heavy-
hitter last weekend. His 12 tackles (two for a loss
of 12 yards) and one sack played a key role in
holding W&M to only 14 points. Linebacker
Chris Hite (Bradford Woods, Pa) registered nine
