Minnesota is too strong to let us get by with that a third time." j The game was expected to draw a sellout crowd of 18,250 or more with standees. Such a total would be the largest attendance ever at a basketball game on campus grounds. * Minnesota was the only Big Ten team to beat the Hoosiers in 18 league gahies last year and thq Gopher victory came in the next to last game of the season on the Williams Arena court, site of Saturday’s scrap. Indiana will go into the contest with exactly the same lineup which it used last year, while there will be one change in the Gopher starters with rookie Dick Garmaker replacing the graduated Bob Gelle. Garmaker, however, pitched 37 points against Illinois'in his first Big Ten game, the highest total- posted in a league game so far this season. ~ - Minnesota was a slight favorite for the scrap. The Gophers downed Illinois, 84-72, in their only outing, while Indiana was hard pressed to down Michigan 62-60, and Wisconsin, 70-87. ; J Other games on the Saturday program will be Illinois at Michigan State, Wisconsin at lowa, Purdue at Ohio State and Michigan at Northwestern. The name caribou comes from the Indian names “Maccarib”, “maccaribo” or ‘‘caribe.’’ It is a close coulin to the reindeer.

NCAA Winds Up Annual Meet, To Study TV CINCINNATI, Ohio, UP — The 48th National Collegiate Athletic Association convention wound up last-minute business today with s routine session to review a report by the television committee. The NCAA council and the directors of the football hall of fame will stick around until Saturday for quick morning sessions before adjourning for another year. The NCAA television committee recommended Thursday that the present policy of only one college football game on TV each week be continued. The committee offered hope, however, that more games may be shown in the future; In a round-table session that was unusually quiet due to the controversial nature of the subject, the TV committee suggested studies be made of televising football. This was suggested so that the incoming committee should not be bound because of new developments in the field. The NCAA business session was expected to acf on the 56-page mimeographed document submit ted by the television committee today. The television policy of the NCAA will not be definitely decided until April, however, when members will vote in a mail referendum; Sentiment during the convention was continuing the present policy, and no decided switch was seen likely. Another suggestion was that the new television committee study delayed and theater TV. It said this type of television could “greatly promote or adversly affect college football, depending on how supervised.” The question of television sell out football games was also discussed. The main drawback to this was that other teams in the area would be hurt because of lack of attendance. The present policy regarding sell-out games grants permission if no schools in the area are as fected. The report said there was some unfavorable public reactions when the games were not allowed. The birthplace of America’s iron and steel industry, the country’s first successful ironworks, is now being restored as a,national shrine at Saugus, Mass., *lO mi’.es north of Boston,

The South cocah is Steve Owen, late of the pro New. York Giants. Each member <?f the two 24-man squads, including a generous sprinkling of all-Airierica selections, has completed his college eligibility. The. game will be something of a switch for Brown, who over the years has dished out to his pro opponents, via quarterback Otto Graham, perhaps the most devastating aerial attack in. football. His* Job Saturday will be to stop Zeke Bratkowski. j Bratkowski has just completed a fabulous passing career at Geor gia and is considered a cinch for future pro stardom. His rifle throws will be the chief threat in the South attack. Behind him Owen can produce - either Auburn's Vince Dooley or Jim Gray of East Texas State to keep the air filled with footballs flying in the direction of such receivers as ends Dave Davis of Georgia Tech and Dreher Gaskin of Clemson? The South line includes stand outs Crawford Mims of Mississippi and J. D. Roberts of Oklahoma. In the backfield will be Tommy Lewis. Alabama fullhack of Cotton Bowl bench-tackle fame.
