May Upset Control Os Grid Television CHICAGO UP — The actual sales Os tickets to college football games could become the pressure ■point which might upset the National Collegiate Athletic Association's current control of grid television. It was conceded today by\NCAA officials that the national -policy of substituting sell-out college games on a local scale for the national “game of the Week” has ho limit. Thus if some Saturday in the future enough tickets are sold to produce sell-outs of numerous standout spectacles, there could be ’as many as ®O. or more exceptions to the nationally selected ‘‘game of the week.” ■Such a result could make the restrictive NCAA policy meaningless. ; ,-\ Al..':' Fy>r instance, this Saturday Notre pame has sold out its Navy game ana .will televise it locally. Presumaibly Pennsylvania at Michigan could be sold out and teevised in Detroit; Northwestern at Ohio State could sell oirt and be tek vised in Columbus; It would be possible to find “exceptions” for Virtually evpry city with television, and it w:>--. possible likewise that a combination of major gamos could arise producing numerous sell-outs and perhaps television. However, oh possibility ruling against “exceptions” was that Uie sponsor of the SICAA weekly sjiow has a budget maximum to pay for substitute games and presumably once it has expended this sum, ■then it will substitute no more.

fact also could perhaps produce a TV rhubarb, and make it possible for a local game i to compete on video with the “game of the week.” k Robertson To Play With I. U. Saturday By UNITED PRESS Rain wet -several Big Ten footban practices, but etery team held long‘ sessions Tuesday. Wisconsin's quarterback Jim Miller did more i unning-passing than he had dofae before, and with great accuracy. He hit screen passes to his left and right. .. IrrSlana coach Bernie Crimmlns placed returning veteran Bobby Roh&rtson at No. 2 left halfback as he sought to beef up the backfield. Robertson had an impressive backfield record before going into the' army in 1950. He'll be eligible for play' Saturday. lowa's Hawkeyes held a vigorous scrimmage after Coach Forest Evashevski outlined new running and passing play patterns. Minnesota, anticipating that Pittsburgh will attack through the center Saturday, held a long practice against simulated Pitt plays. Ohio State concentrated on pass defense in light rain. Coach Woody Hayes said quarterback John Borton’s ankle probably would permit him to play this weekend, but only as a linebacker. Michigan emphasized defensive drills, blocking and tackling, despite a steady downpour of rain. The team changed its position four times to prevent unnecessary damage to the rain-soaked field. Michigan State had to go inside to escape a heavy rain. The team went through tackling drill* and brushed up on fundamentals. A third stringer. John Matsock of Detroit, worked out with the first team. V - Purdue, sent inside by a daylong rain, concentrated on building a defense to stop Illinois' league leaders Saturday. Orthwesterh’s end Ed Demyan was still listed as a doubtful starter Saturday, even though Tuesday’s X-fsrys showed he had no hand injury.-as feared. He still suffered from a pulled muscle in his left leg. > Illinois’ Dave Bauer, 235-pound senior guard, will be out of the Purdue game. His knee, injured in the kickoff last week, is in a cast.

Stu Holcomb 01 Purdue 1$ Coach Os Week NEW YORK. UP — Font times in a row they had been beaten. Their star quarterback was Injured and so was their No. I fullback. ' * ■ >'-‘j , v They were playing a team with a 28-game winning streak. They were 14-point underdogs and wise guys everywhere said tht spread should be bigger. So with that background of frustration and futwity they went out and won 6-0 in one of the season's greatest upsets. They did # it for the United Press coach df the week, Stu Holcomb of the suddenly explosive Putdue Boilermakers. How could * they upset mighty Michigan State, believed by some to be the best football team in the land? Holcomb Ijad a simple explanation. “They didn’t do it for me,” he said. “They did it for Roy Evanswho couldn’t start at quarterback because he was hurt, i told them before the game that for four weeks thejr hadn’t lived up to their potentialities. And I said ‘Do you know who's getting the blame? Not you and not me but Roy Evans and he doesn’t deserve it.” What happened after that pep talk will rank with other great upsets inspired who had developed a reputation, for ending long winning streaks. His boys did

it in 1950 when they defeated Notre Dame after the Irish had gone 39 games withost a defeat. Ahd In 1949 they tipset a Miflneebta team that was labeled powerhouse from its first game. Each year Purdue scores one mighty upsht ahd it is at! according to plan. Hdlcomb realizes that the Boilermakers don't have the depth to play through a tough schedule without a few defeats so they concentrate on a tew top games. And they generally are much better toward the end of the season than at the start. It is almost an axiom to seas Purdue in November. Despite those four early season defeats, Holcomb thinks that this should be his greatest team. There’s no hokum abo'ut Holcomb. He shoots straight from the shoulder. “Even when wfe were getting beat I thought we had a good team,” he said. “And we’re on Ahe road back hpw. The boya have changed. We didn’t make any fumbles Saturday and we'd been doing that all year. All our kicks were covered. They couldn’t even handle one of our bunts. We intercepted five passes and before last Saturday we had intercepted only one hll season. “I (never saw a team run harder, bloclt .harder, or tackle harder.
