Ml TV I fame' Os Week I Is Considered ATI4ANI4 UP —Baseball will ■ have to await official word from Washington before it can accept f a 2-million-dollar television plan |. which might save the minor | leagues from bankruptcy, high officials of the game indicated today. The p|>an, patterned after the NCAA television game of the week for college football, would operate with a rich commercial sponsor and the money would go mainly to the minor leagues as an indemnity for 'losses incurred because of competition with games in their territory. —- | No one was talking tor the req- ! j ord today but there were j definite I reports that the plan would be outJ lined to the minors in their gen- • teral executive sessions on s | day and Thursday. It was doubt- / \lful whether it wouls be accepted mow until it is learned whether the justice department would rule whether it might be in restraint ■’ ' of trade and therefore subject to I ♦ anti-trust laws. J Al least one major TV network 1 has lined up sponsorship for a : baseball game of the week and * Ford Frick, the commissioner, ut»<ht have a choice of offers, some higher than the J a-millioh-doflar figure being quoted. if it is determined that such a plan would be legal. The TV game of the week would be on Saturday afternoon, the samq I <V as the current arrangement for the i college football game of the week; However, the sponsor would not make plans for an entire season, as is done in football, but would arrange the most attractive game available involving petmant con- _■ tenders. I L All 16 major league clubs would I be involved in tljie plan and would share in the proceeds to some extent. although tjhe bulk of the money would. go to the minor , leagues.

0 — Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By Oscar Fraley Q 0 NEW YORK UP — A select band of 48 college football players is getting ready today to run so that others may walk —and i points up the sickly condition pi Ivy League football. These players will compete in the annual Shrine East-West game at San Francisco on Jan. 2, the money from which helps 145 Shrine hospitals for crippled children. More than 1,200 college football stars have appeared in these games since they first were inaugurated in 1925. Through thqir blocking and tackling efforts a total of 11.800,000 has been raised -—ft nd 1,20 ft crippled kids without finances have been put back on their feet. But this great game — which in itself is a reason to continue football — will have no Ivy League players on its poster again this year. Whitediaired Bill Coffman, managing director of the Shrine game and its guiding genius is reluctant to censure the Eastern powers sitting smugly in their cherish ‘Tvyi’ towers. "I'm not here to start a controversy,” he explaias. “The Ivy League simply has a rule that players cannoh compete in post season games.” The Shriners have made efforts to obtain permission to use Ivy League stars, who would, incidentally, be thrilled to play in the game. Players wouldn't miss a single class ,tu bwoud be sown out and back during the Christmas vacation. Yet. while Princeton’s Mask and Wig Club can chart its own vacation course,, as example, the Ivy League footballers are checked carefully in and but on vacation leave so that they will not sully the Ivy League's lly-white regulation. It is a ridiemlms rule which should be changed if only for this ode exception in the case of the East-West game. Not that thn fcaat-West g:wrcan’t do without the Ivy League, for it is rather generally accepted throughout the country that H l ' members play an inferior brand of football. How can they help it when they are uenied spring ; proc* tice, etc? This eastern team will be a good one,* too, a'lth such as Johnny Lattner, Neil Worden and A'* Hunter of\ Notre llamc; George Jacoby of bhio State:’ Steve Mellinger of Kentucky and Gene Filipski. of Villanova. ■ \ r It's nice to taink that, in away, fellows like Lattner. Worden and the others have been playing to get ready for this pne. Because they know, after they walk past those 60 beds in the San Francisco Shrine Hospital, that eaej bhhip and every bruise ds a badge of honor. Tax Bpqrd Hearing Here D?cemhe( 8 A state tax board hearing will be held at the county auditor's office Dec. 8 to consider a request fir additional appropriations by the Berne,-French schools, county auditor Frank Kits.on said today.
