NEW YORK. Feb. PA
group Of important "independ-
ent" colleges may band together
to form a new football league or
conference. national in scope. to
give big-time college football top
billing on the sports program,
the Associated Press learned to-
day.
Prospective members include
Army. Navy. Notre Dame and
Pittsburgh, plus four others.
Some now are members Of other
conferences. The exact lineup
has not been settled.
This project, under discussion
for some time. was brought to
light during the National Col
legiate Athletic Association con-
vention at Cincinnati last month.
At that time some of the colleges
mentioned indicated that they
had lost interest because of de-
lays in the negotiations.
Today an influential college
athletic leader. who asked that
his name be withheld, said this
conference plan definitely is mot
dead"
You can say the conference
probably will go through If Army
and Navy can be brought into
it," this source said. There is a
very strong sentiment among the
Independents toward organizing
to show that there are some COL
leges of unquestioned standing
that believe football is import
ant"
John Cox. Nays publicity
director. said today that the
idea of the conference was
news to u.s." He said Navy
had not been approached
about joining.
Coach Jim Tatum of Mary
land said the idea of such a
conference sounded SILLY" to
him because it was geographic
cally impractical. "They GER
tainly wouldn't organize it
just for football" Tatum
speculated, land you just
couldn't pay expenses for min
or sports. It would be hard
enough to break even in foot
ball"
cat West Point, Coach Red
Blaik said the proposed con-
ference has not been dis
cuSsed at West Point.")
The other four schools men
toned in the first reports as
taking part in meetings to ex-
plore the possibilities of q new
conference were Penn State,
Pennsylvania, Duke and North
Carolina. Since then Penn has
subscribed to the new Ivy Group
agreement. which will require
playing seven football games a
season within that group, start
ing in 1856. Duke and North
Carolina are members of the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
Others listed as possible pros
poets for membership included
Oklahoma and Tulane, both of
which have conference ties. Be-
cause of their location, these
are considered only as outside
possibilities. but the source ex-
planned that with airplane travel,
distance isn't too great factor.
The important thing is to
have a group of colleges of good
standing which believe in foot
ball." he explained.
One important purpose in
forming such a league would be
