Winners Average 3.42

33 GRliDERSWIN $1,000 SCHOLARSHIPS Thirty-three senior football players have been awarded $1,000 Postgraduate Scholarships by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Each has achieved a brilliant collegiate academic and athletic record.

The awards are divided into three groups, with 11 winners chosen from University Division member institutions, 11 from College Division members and 11 At-large.

The winners all have over 3.0 or “B” grades, and have performed with distinction on the football field. In addition, each must have signified his intention of beginning graduate studies in the fall of 1968 and must have been judged capable of doing postgraduate work by his major professor.

In playing ability, they all measure up. Jim Smithberger helped Notre Dame to a National Championship, Doug Flansburg of Washington State topped the Pacific-8 in receiving, Jack Root of Stanford was all-Pacific Coast, Charles McKee of Lawrence is the 1967 Little All-America quarterback, Phil Tuckett of Weber State was all-Big Sky, for example.

The majors of the 33 cover a wide range, denoting the versatility of the modern gridder rather than a trend to any single profession.

Three each have majored in economics, English, business administration, mathematics, physical education, psychology and political science.

Many are headed for law school or graduate schools of business administration, with a good minority set to enter medical school.

THE EDITOR’S VIEW New

Dimension

Columnary

in Enforcement

One of the amendments the NCAA Council is proposing to the membership at the New York Convention is of particular significance and demands more than passing notice by the voting delegates.

An amendment to Constitution 3-10 would add a paragraph (e) to state that a student-athlete shall be subject to loss of eligibility for a period to be determined by the Council if the findings of the Council indicate that he has knowingly and willfully violated Constitution 3-4, has been guilty of fraudulence in connection with an entrance or placement examination, or has otherwise exhibited gross dishonesty in evading or violating NCAA regulations.

This dramatizes a contemplated change in the NCAA enforcement approach. Association policy provides that the institution may be penalized, and, more recently, that the head coach, or head coach and other co#aches, involved tn a violation may be penalized, but generally the student-athlete has not been penalized unless he has forfeited his amateur standing.

The Council has couched the amendment in careful language, stressing that only the Council may determine the student’s violation to be to such a degree that the student should be penalized.

Further, it stressed that the student must commit the violation “knowingly and willfully,” or must exhibit gross dishonesty.

Lengthy discussion in the Council meeting reiterated that only the unusual case will fall within these definitions.

Yet the Council feels that if institutions and coaches must bear the burden of upholding recruiting and financial aid regulations, the prospective student-athlete should share a portion of the responsibility and jeopardy.

This legislation will have no effect upon the recruitment and enrollment of thousands of student-athletes.

But it will serve notice that the small percentage who seek more than the institution can legally provide will face severe penalty, and perhaps even loss of the privilege of participation in intercollegiate athletics.

It will further discourage the athlete and the over-eager recruiter from cutting corners. The recruitment process will benefit from this legislation. *** District Attorney William Cahn of Nassau County, New York, is at it again. Now he has announced that persons on college campuses are selling information on basketball teams to bookmakers and organized gambling.

This is incrimination by the outdated “yellow journalism” technique.

Cahn is paid to find evidence, not talk about rumors and vague generalities. As in Ns football foray, the college community has challenged him to provide facts, name names-if my facts can be found, if any names can be named.

The college community is not blind to the fact that gambling occurs, that large sums are bet upon college games, that gamblers have attempted to influence the outcome of games in the past, and that continuous, diligent measures to protect college sports from gambling are necessary.

In fact, Cahn’s outbreak can serve as a reminder for every college to renew its efforts to keep gamblers from gaining information on the activities of it8 teams.

But at the same time colleges everywhere, and the NCAA in their behalf, appeal to Mr. Cahn and hi8 sense of sportsmanship to stick to the facts-actually to come up with any he can find-and end the type of publicity-oriented outbursts which can only damage sports and the men who coach and play the game.

The split-screen instant replay, enabling the viewer to see a reprise of the quarterback dropping back for a pass and the ultimate receiver catching or missing the football, was introduced by the American Broadcasting Army and Navy . . .

Company in its coverage of the . . game between Roone Arledge, executive producer of ABC Sports, and Chuck Howard, producer, are unquestionably the most consistent experimentors in how to make sports more interesting on the home screen. Their coverage of this season’s games of the National Collegiate Athletic Association has been another feather in their cap.

The virtue of the split-screen instant replay is to let the viewer focus hi8 attention on two places at once, overcoming the physical problem inherent in a sport requiring a large playing area . .

Mr. Arledge and Mr. Howard have handily surpassed both the Columbia Broadcasting System, which covers the National Football League games, and the National Broadcasting Company, which reports the American Football League Contests, in capturing the full flavor of a sports contest.

The ABC technique of zeroing in for quick closeups of pretty the stands and its deft use of a portable color camera for striking reaction shots are creative photography that found particularly expression in the pageantry of the Army-Navy contest.

Additionally, institutions now in compliance with the new (1) through the use of the national tables or more demanding predictive processes may qualify for the exception in the new (2) immediately. In cases where the current table is less restrictive than the national, (2) would continue to apply to student-athletes recruited prior to compliance with the new (1).

As reported by the officers, the Council amendment seeks to answer objections raised to 1.600 by institutions with restrictive entrance processes, while simultaneously avoiding a complete abandonment of the 1.600 continuing eligibility rule.

Elected

in 1920

He began his public career at 28 in 1920 when he was elected a member of the Board of Aldermen in

Newton, Mass., his home town. He served as an assistant district attorney beginning in 1921, and then was elected to the House of Representatives in 1923.

He served there until 1937, then was elected Governor in 1938. He served three terms-the only Massachusetts governor to do so-until elected to the Senate in 1944. He subsequently was re-elected in 1948, 1954 and 1960.

In the Senate, he became an expert on defense matters and on foreign policy and foreign aid. Hc was ranking Minority member of two of the Senate’s most important committees, the Appropriations Committee and the Armed Services Committee.

During 1953 and 1954 when the Republicans were in control of the Senate, he was chairman of the latter Committee.

He also was ranking Republican on the special CIA Committee.

and the National Republican Coordinating Committee.

In 1960, he joined in introducing the Kerr-Mills Bill, and later offered further legislation providing broad voluntary medical benefits for the aged. In 1957 he was a co-sponsor of the first civil rights bill to pass the Congress in over 80 years. He sponsored major civil rights legislation in the 88th Congress, and was instrumental in bringing about the revisions in the 1964 Civil Rights Bill which resulted in Senate action on it.

Among the many honors he has received are the 1963 American Political Science Association’s Con gressional Distinguished Service Award, which is given every two years to honor one member of each party in the Senate and House, not only for effective service in Congress, but also for industry, effectiveness and dedication to the principles of democracy.

The list of his actions and interests could continue much, much longer.

But this brief recap illustrates Sen. Saltonstall is one of the most distinguished men ever to sit in the august halls of the Senate.

The NCAA salutes this outstanding American, and in so doing appropriately admits him to the company of Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower, two great patriots to whom athletics were a vital strength to this country.

1967 Collegiate Football Attendance SmashesAll Records College football attendance soared to a record 26.4 million this season, propelled by its second biggest increase ever over a previous year’s total.

National Collegiate Sports Services’ annual survey shows that 26,430,639 spectators attended college football games in 1967, an increase of 1,154,740 (4.57 per cent) over the previous all-time high set in 1966.

The biggest jump in one year was 1,328,095 in 1965.

During the past 14 seasons of successive increases, college crowds have climbed 58.4 per cent abave the 1953 attendance of 16,681,731.

Though a steady pattern previously, the rise has been dramatic recently: more than 5 million in the last five years.

There were 610 four-year colleges playing football in 1967-six less than last year-but they played only four fewer games than a year ago (2764 to 2768) and averaged 431 more spectators per game (9562 to 9131).

Both of the two main team tiers contributed to the attendance record. This season’s top 100 teams, which accounted for two-thirds of the national attendance pie, drew 1193 more fans per home game than did the top 100 last season. The per-game average of the 510 remaining teams rose by 208.

Last Chance Offered Grid Injury Researchers A short time remains for interested researchers to submit applications for football injury research funds via the NCAA Executive Gffice.

Project selection by the Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports will be made at a meeting at the January 8-11 Convention.

Its goal is to have research begin during spring football practice in 1968.

Applicants may refer to the NOvember NEWS for complete directions for filing an application.

The suggested form to follow is shown below.

Principal areas of research are to be injuries to the head, neck and spine, and injuries to the knee and ankle in relation to shoes, cleats and types of turf.

NCSS Features Win Praise from Writers

Bearcats, Bruins Are the Toughest Cage Animals Statistics released

by National Collegiate Sports Services reveal that Cincinnati and UCLA, who own five NCAA championships between them, have had the best basketball won-lost records in recent years.

The Bearcats top the nation’s major schools in the IO-year period from 1958 through 1967, having a 230-53 record over that span for a winning percentage of .813.

UCLA, seventh in the IO-year span, has the best mark over the last five years with 126 wins and 19 losses, a percentage of .869. Over that same stretch, Cincinnati ranks 17th.

Providence is the symbol of consistency, ranking second in both the lo-year and five-year ratings.

While the five amendments of the 1.600 legislation which have been proposed to the NCAA’s 62nd Convention have received most of the attention directed to rules changes, 19 other proposed changes to the Constitution and Bylaws are on the agenda as well.

They range from formal approval of adding a College Division Baseball Championship to extensive changes of the prcscason football practice legislation.

Five are sponsored by the NCAA Council, two more bear the stamp of the Council and Executive Committee, while the Executive Committee in three cases joins other committees in sponsoring amendments.

Those sponsored by the Council were discussed in the December NEWS and will be passed over here.

“The notes are terrific.”

“Your weekly brights make good fillers.”

“The notes are good, pithy, interesting, informative ” The above comments are illustrative of the favorable expressions received from many of the nation’s top columnists in response to the feature material in football which the new National Collegiate Sports Services has been distributing this fall for the first time.

NCSS (formerly the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau), directed

by Wiles Hallock, has benefited from the added services of Dick Link, former assistant sports information director at the University of Wisconsin, and, under the able direction of Larry Klein, has added an important national dimension to the coverage of collegiate football.

The feature three-page mailing was sent out for nine weeks, September 26, through November Zlst, and was the first NCAA effort on a broad national basis to provide interpretive material to accompany the weekly distribution of major and College Division individual and team football statistics.

The service is continuing under the same format for basketball and the select list of media people receiving the notes has jumped from just over 300 to nearly a thousand.

In addition to briefs which interpret and relate the statistical rankings to human interest, compiled with research resources which the individual writer might not have at his disposal, many notes were included which were received from individual sports information dii rectors across the country-a national clearing house of personality Lcature briefs. Cooperation from the latter group was good, but hopefully can be expanded in the future.

Weekly college football attendance stories were distributed for the third year running with the notes and statistics, and, for the first time, the final attendance releases from NCSS were mailed in advance to a list of key columnists in an effort to gain additional coverage for college football’s all time record 26.4 million total attendance in 1967.

In a more technical vein NCSS has streamlined this fall its College Division football report forms and done the same to all weekly basketball report forms.

Executive

Committee

Amendments

The three proposed by the Executive Committee include an amendment of Bylaw Z-(h) to add a director of athletics to the Gymnastices Rules and Meet Committee; an amendment to Bylaw 3-3-(c) to increase membership of the College Basketball Tournament Committee from four to six persons, and an amendment to Bylaws 5-1-(a) and 3-3-(h) to establish an annual National College Division Baseball Championship and to create a College Baseball Tournament Committee to administer the tourney.

Four amendments to Bylaw l-4 have been sponsored by institutions which wish to change their NCAA membership from one district to another. American University, Washington, D. C., seeks to move from District 3 to District 2. The University of Louisville would move from District 3 to District 5. The University of Albuquerque would move from District 6 to District 7, and the University of Texas at El Paso seeks to move from District 6 to District 7.

The NCAA Constitution and Bylaws Committee has a lengthy proposal to amend Bylaw 3-l to more carefully define the beginning of the terms of individuals elected to the Association’s general committees.

Football

Practice

Proposal

The Committee on Preseason Football Practice is the sponsor of tbc amendment to the regulations governing the starting dates of preseason practice, Bylaw 8-1-(a).

Its goal is to make more equal the length of preseason football practice for different member institutions and to require a specified time for conditioning activity.

It offers three electives by which an institution may choose the day on which it shall begin fall practice, but requires that no physical contact drills shall be held during the first three days of practice and that no pads except headgear may be worn by players during those first three days.

The latter part of the amendment is a move to insure that all squad members are in top condition before heavy contact work begins.

An amendment offered by the Extra Events Committee to Bylaw 7-A-l- (j ) would allow earlier contact of prospective football bowl participants if the bowl game is played earlier than the second weekend in December.

Divisional

Changes Advocated

Participation in three sports out of its designated division would be permitted a member institution if an amendment offered by the California Collegiate Athletic Association passes. It would amend Bylaw 4-6-(a).

Thus an institution which declared itself a College Division member for the sports in which there are two national champion ship events could choose three sports in which it would compete for the University Division title.

The Western Athletic Conference and the Southeastern Conference are seeking to make freshmen students eligible for all NCAA events except in football and basketball, and to allow four years of varsity participation in those events, provided the freshman year is one of the four.

Bylaw 4-2 would be the legislation affected.

Villanova and SPARTANS, BllLlKENS Gerry Lindgren Dangerous Conditions AreCCChamps Stop Title Contest Laramie, Wyo. - Villanova and Gerry Lindgren successfully defended their National Collegiate Cross Country Championships here Nov. 27.

Villanova’s team of Charles Messenger, Tom Donnelly, Des McCormack, Dave Patrick and Ian Hamilton finished 5-15-22-24-25 in the team standings for 91 points edging Air Force by just five.

Colorado finished third with 110, Western Michigan was fourth at 129 and Indiana took fifth place with 134.

Lindgren’s winning time of 30:45.6 was somewhat slower than his 1966 clocking, but he led throughout the race and won easily over runner-up Arjan Gelling of North Dakota. Gelling had earned the National College Division title earlier in the month.

Lindgren, a Washington State senior, headed a field of 112 harriers who finished the race in 25-degree temperatures at an altitude of 7,200 feet.

Thirty-six institutions were represented by at least one runner.

Following are the team totals and the top twenty individuals:

No Quick DecisionIt’s Elizabethtown New London, Corm.-Herb Finstermacher’s goal in the sixth overtime period gave Elizabethtown the recent Atlantic Coast College Division Soccer Championship over Hartwick, 2-1.

The two teams battled 52 scoreless minutes after Dave Bender of Elizabethtown tied the game at 6:25 ot the third period.

Len Renaldi opened the scoring with a second period counter for Hartwick.

The same two squads battled to a 2-all tie after two overtimes in the 1966 tournament so, in effect, it took more than three and one-half hours to reach a clear-cut decision.

St. Louis, MO.-Heavy rains and dangerous playing conditions forced stoppage of the finals of the National Collegiate Soccer Championship, Dec. 2, in St. Louis. Unbeaten Michigan State and host St. Louis battled evenly for nearly two quarters before an injury to a Spartan player prompted the decision to stop the game which was started before 3,000 hardy fans.

Goalies Joe Baum of Michigan State and Jim Conley of St. Louis made several fine stops in the 42minute “game,” although the watery field made ball control exceedingly difficult.

It marked the seventh appearance in the championship game for the Billikens.

St. Louis had previously won five national titles and has failed to reach the finals only twice in the event’s nine-year history. The Spartans dropped 1-O decisions to Navy and St. Louis in their previous championship outings.

Meanwhile, St. Louis was experiencing a little more difficulty.

After an easy 6-l win over Colorado Col-

the Billikens were hardlege, pressed before eliminating San Jose State, 4-3, on the loser’s field. A goal by Wally Werner in the final minute of the semifinals pushed St. Louis by Navy, 1-O.

25 US. Skiers Go To World U Games Twenty-five collegiate skiers will represent the United States at the World University Winter Games Jan. 21-28 at Innsbruck, Austria.

The team members will be announced by Jan. 8 for alpine skiers, and by Jan. 9 for nordic competitors. The selections will be made by the games committees of the United States Collegiate Sports Council, of which the NCAA is a member.

The USCSC is American franchise holder in FISU, the International University Sports Federation, sponsor of the World University Games.

Of the 25 skiers, 13 will compete in nordic skiing, and 12 will compete in alpine competition, including three women.

The U.S. team will depart for Innsbruck Jan. 17.

America will not be represented in the Winter Games in speed skating, figure skating or ice hockey.

Some 450-500 student athletes from around the world are expected to compete in Innsbruck.

San Diego Winner of Pacific CD CC Meet San Diego State ran off with both team and individual honors at the Pacific Coast College Division Cross Country Championships held recently at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Juan Hernandez of San Diego State finished just ahead of Jeff Rawlings of the host school to take individual honors. Both were timed in 20:08.

The Aztecs’ total of 23 points was far ahead of runner-up Cal Poly Pomona which had 70. sr * * Each of the 22 offensive and defensive players selected on the Big Ten all-academic team was a starter for his school, and nine of the group were first team All-Big Ten choices.

An unidentified St. Louis player hurdles Ernie Tuchscherer (No. 8) of Michigan State in the muddy finals of the National Collegiate Soccer Championship at St. Louis, MO. Michigan State players coming up are Barry Tiemann, Tom Kreft and Gary McBrady.

Board

FINAL USTFF BRIEF STRESSESATHLETICFREEDOM A final brief stressing that the jurisdictional claims of the AAU in domestic track and field are unfounded has been submitted by the United States Track and Field Federation to the Sports Arbitration Board.

The Board is currently considering final briefs recently presented to it and weighing testimony given over the past three years since it was appointed in 1965 by Vice-president Hubert Humphrey.

Chairman Theodore Kheel has announced the Board intends to reach a decision in the amateur sports dispute in the near future.

Writing in a covering letter for the brief when submitting it to Kheel, USTFF President Rev. Wilfred H. Crowley reiterated that the AAU jurisdictional claims are unfounded, that assumption of such jurisdiction in order to fulfill requirements for international competition is groundless, and that actions of the AAU in disregarding the Commerce Committee moratorium were “highly reprehensible.”

He added that he feels that if AAU monopolistic rules interfere with 1968 American Olympic participation-as they did with recent Pan American competition-public opinion will demand either court action or federal legislation to eliminate such un-American practices.

5. The claim that the AAU must assume its sole governing role in order to avert “anarchy” or “chaos” is equally absurd. In the last gve Years the majority of all track and Aeld meets have been conducted

by USTFF constituents without any sanction or supervision on the part of the AAU and, by the admission of AAU officials, the sport of track and field has flourished.

Evidence of “anarchy” or “chaos” in the sport of track and geld in the last five years was recorded when two foreign teams. members of the IAAF, failed to appear to compete with a U.S. team and the IAAF was impotent to enforce contractual agreements with the AAU. Additional evidences of “chaos” and “anarchy” have been prcscnted to the American public by the threats Of ineligibility and actual suspension of American athletes by the AAU in direct violation of the Senate Commerce Committee moratorium.

6. The claim that the AAU must assume jurisdiction over all U.S. athletes, virtually from the cradle to the grave, in order to satisfy the “requirements for international competition” is both unrealistic and ridiculous.

Only about one per cent (1%) of the track and held athletes competing in the U.S. would qualify for international competition in any given year.

4. The USTFF does not wish to destroy the AAU or any other private sports organization.

The USTFF has made no claims that in any way infringe upon the legitimate rights of the Amateur Athletic Union or hinder its legitimate functions in amateur sports.

7. The historical record clearly reveals that the Amateur Athletic Union exercised its self-assumed and monopolistic jurisdiction for twenty-four (24) years prior to the founding of the IAAF Since 1912. it has attempted to use its membership in a foreign sports organization to justify its monopolistic practices.

3. The USTFF 1s an autonomous, independent tion, freely formed by its members and cannot be subjected to AAU jurisdiction, other mannor, when it conducts competition student competitors.

5. The entire issue in the controversy is freedom, which should not and cannot be excluded from amateur athletics.

The USTFF does not represent a power grab. The Federation has clearly and repeatedly expressed its willingness to yield

6. In view of its status as an independent organization, the USTFF cannot by any decree or decision from any source be subjected to the arbitrary illegal use OK authority involved in AAU sanctioning rules and AAU application of the terms “open” and “closed” to buttress such claims.

B. The United States Track and Field Federation has since June 15, 1966, presented to the Sports Arbitration Board clear and cogent evidence that the claims of the AAU are unfounded and unjustified, with the following points being stressed.

1. There is no international rule requiring that the IAAF member be the sole governing hody in domestic track and field. Even if there were, this would constitute an unwarranted intrusion into our national affairs. As the late General Douglas MacArthur wrote in n letter of March 12. 1963: “No international can properly establish rules governing an intra-American body. however. athletic competition.”

2. The jurisdiction of the AAU in domestic competition is self-assumed.

It has never been conferred by the consent of the governed.

The pitifully inadequate attempts of the AAU at the Novmher 9-10 hearings of the Sports Arbitration Board to explain the source of IAAF authority to create a sole national governing body in the United States made clear what has long been known by those acquainted with the administration of amateur athletics in this country; namely, that the jurisdiction claimed by the AAU has been usurped in the name

of

a membership

in

a foreign

sports

body.

3. The additional attempts of the AAU to appeal to the U.S. Olympic Committee to justify its sole governing claims must also be considered spurious.

The U.S. Olympic Committee is not empowered by its charter to establish a sole governing body. It simply deals with the international franchise holder for the purpose of certifying that U.S. Olympic competitors are eligible as bona fide amateurs to participate in Olympic Games.

a hona fide amateur into joining an AAU

In conclusion, the constituents of the United States Track and Field Federation believe that reasonable and impartial men who respect American traditions should perceive the justice of the USTFF position.

This position will, if necessary, be defended in our courts. The USTFF does not wish to hinder the efforts of the AAU in promoting track and field and stands ready to applaud its legitimate efforts and functions in amateur athletics in the United States. On the other hand, the constituents will not permit the effort of the USTFF to advance the sport to be impeded by illegal, self-assumed, monopolistic claims based on a piece of Paper testifying to membership in a foreign sports organization.

The late Henry Lucc in speaking of sports once said: “Man is an animal that works, Plays and prays. No important aspect of human life should be devalued.”

Three teams which were making their first appearance in regional football competition and two-time champion San Diego State recorded victories in the NCAA College Division Regional Football Championships held in December.

San Diego State, rated tops by both wire service polls, ran by San Francisco State, 27-6, making it two straight Camellia Bowl championships for the Aztecs.

On the same day, Eastern Kentucky gained the lead quickly and eased by Ball State, 27-13, in the Grantland Rice Bowl.

Tennessee Martin

while Texas Arlington blanked North Dakota State, 13-0, in the Pecan Bowl.

The Aztecs, performing before a near-record crowd of 15,710 in Sacramento, withstood a record-breaking performance

by Gator quarterback Bob Toledo and 166 yards in penalties to become the second team to win two straight titles.

Toledo completed 26 of 54 passes, but had five intercepted, all three figures being records. Although he threw a record 45 TD passes during the season, Toledo failed to toss one against the rugged Aztec defense.

Meanwhile, San Diego State was rolling up 371 yards in total offense with Ted Washington getting 94 on the ground and quarterback Joe Turpen running and passing for 192.

Washington tied a record by scoring twice on short runs and Turpen pitched a TD strike.

The attendance of 15,710 was just 30 fzns short of last year’s record crowd.

Eastern Kentucky scored twice in the first nine minutes, permitting Ball State only three offensive plays during that time and let its quick, penetrating defense stave off the Cardinals the rest of the afternoon.

Quarterback Jim Guice passed for the Maroons’ first touchdown and scored the second himself.

A 39yard sprint with an intercepted fumble by middle guard Ted Taylor and a second Guice TD pass finished the scoring for Eastern.

Bail State drew within one touchdown twice, but mounted only one other sustained drive which was

halted at the Eastern nine yard line.

the fourth

The passing attacks proved to be the difference in the game. While the Colonels hit 21 of 27 for 210 yards and a pair of touchdowns, the Cardinals completed only three of 16 for 80 yards and had three passes picked off.

The daylight-to-noon efforts of many officials and Abiiene. Tex., citizens were necessary to clear two inches of ice from the field to enable the Pecan Bowl to be played.

Tazel Catches 11 Passes John Tazel, Eastern Kentucky Ranker, caught a record 11 passes during the game for 127 yards and the first Maroon touchdown.

By contrast, it was the rushing game that spelled the difference at Orlando, Fla., where each team passed for 169 yards, but Tennessee Martin held West Chester State to 17 yards on the ground while gaining 145.

Twice in the first half Volunteer tackle Gordon Lambert caught Ram quarterback Jim Haynie in the end zone for safeties. A TD ramble by Jim Wiggins and an Allen Cox-toGary Capers pass resulted in an 18-8 halftime advantage for the winners.

Fine Kicking

Game

The Tennesseans’ kicking game may have contributed most to the win.

Five times the Rams were forced to start an offensive series inside their 20. A slight breakdown came in the second period when Ram halfback Paul Dunkleberger brought a Gene Sides punt back 74 yards for the Northern team’s only touchdown.

Earlier, Sides boomed a record 69-yard punt which rolled dead on the Ram 11.

The Rams penetrated the winners’ 30 once in each half. They were halted on downs at the 29 and had a pass picked off in the end zone in

Texas Arlington held the nation’s best rushing team, North Dakota State, to 106 yards on the ground and blanked the Bison for the first time in five years.

Sparks Rebs

The passing of quarterback Mike Baylor set up theRebels’ first touchdown which was scored by Danny Griffin while a recovered fumble and two runs by Keith Luft totaling 18 yards accounted for the game’s final score. Baylor passed 53 yards to Dick Hill to establish the Rebels’ field position in the first touchdown drive.

North Dakota State cracked the Rebel 20 only once and was halted by a pass interception at the Rebel 12.

NEBEL

l A-l The pass A-3 and Team A.

The dean of the School of Social and Community Services of the University of Missouri, Arthur W. Nebel, is the NCAA Vice-president for District 5.

A native Missourian, the 59-yearold Dean has spent much of his adult life at Missouri.

He enrolled in Missouri in 1926, and culminated his academic career when he was appointed dean of the new division when it was organized July 1, 1965.

Social CoMultallt His activities in athletics beyond the campus began when he was named Missouri’s faculty representative in 1960. He was elected District 5 Vice-president in 1965.

In addition to his service in athletics, Nebel is extremely active in social service areas, and often is called upon by public and private agencies as a consultant.

A listing of his service is long and impressive.

Highlights include the past presidencies of the Missouri Association for Social Welfare and the Missouri Health Council; membership in the American Society of Public Administration, the Missouri Public Health Association, the Missouri Heart Association, the American Public Health Association; and service in 1846 as executive secretary of the Children’s Code Commission which codified state laws pertaining to welfare of children.

Children’s

Service

From 1948-54 he was director of the University’s state crippled children’s service.

Dean Nebel graduated from Missouri in 1930 with a B.S. in business administration.

He took graduate work at Washington University in St. Louis, then received his M.A. in social work at Missouri in 1935. He did additional work at the University of Chicago in 1936 and 1937.

After beginning on the Missouri faculty as an instructor in 1934, Nebel advanced to an assistant professorship in 1939.

Military

Service

Military service interrupted his academic career in 1941. He served with the Army in the China-IndiaBurma theater until 1946.

Ruling: Yes, Rule 9-Sec. 9, first paragraph. In the question posed, team A was in control of the ball - ln other words, there was team control. The ball touched player A-3, and even though it was not touched by A-3’s hands, the contact with A-3 still constitutes touching. The rule does not indicate the ball has to touch A-3’s hands: it may strike his shoulder, head or chest and still be considered touching. The first paragraph in Rule 9-Sec. 9 indicates that the player shall not be the first to touch a ball which he or his teammate caused to go from front court to back court by being the last to touch the ball while it was in control of his team before it went to the back court.

The collegiate athletic world is mourning the Dec. 10 death of Bernie A. Shively, active and distinguished director of athletics at the University of Kentucky.

He suffered a heart attack at his home and died soon after at a nearby hospital.

Extremely active in NCAA and Southeastern Conference affairs, Shively had held numerous posts in both and was one of the nation’s best-known-and most respectedathletic figures.

A member of the NCAA Executive Committee at the time of his death, Shively had recently left the Chairmanship cuf the NCAA University Basketball Tournament Committee. He had served as chairman of the NCAA Summer Baseball Committee, as chairman of the SEC Basketball Committee, and for the past 14 years had been president of the Southeastern Conference Coaches and Athletic Directors Association.

Shively joined the Kentlicky staff in 1927 as football line coach, following a brilliant athletic career at Illinois.

An All-American as a blocking guard for Red Grange, he also was Big Ten heavyweight wrestling champion and a track standout.

In 1933, he was appointed head of the UK Physical Education Department, and five years later became director of athletics.

He continued coaching until 1946, handling football, track and baseball at various times.

Under his leadership, Kentucky greatly expanded and improved its physical facilities and developed a fine athletic program.

Shively is survived by his widow, Ruth; a son Doug, who coaches on the Kentucky staff, and a daughter Suzanne.
