Same Teams In Top Football Strata Yearly NEW YORK (INS) 1 -One of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's arguments against unfootball television is that it fears setting up a “TV aristocracy” of select few top teams. This, the NCAA fears, would lead to a scramble for video lucre and prestige, which the collegiate authorities view as a step toward over-emphasis of the sport. The NCAA thesis can be faulted on two counts. First, admit it or not, an “aristocracy” already exists. TV or rib TV. Look at the attendance figures; some 20 teams annually account for some SO per cent of the total collegiate gate. Look at the national rankings; year after year, (he same old familiar names make up the top ten listings. Secondly, the more affluent and the more restricted the top-echelon major league beqomes, the more nearly simon pure the vast majority of schools are going to be. Isn’t it better to admit that therawill always be a Notre Daine, antArJhy and Navy, a Big Ten to claita/the cream of the nation's playew?7 The Ivy league is doing this, in effect, by retreating into its jown family circle, beginning next year to play a ‘ round-robin schedule. Other conferences might be better off to do the same rather than trying to keep up with the race for national laurels. Certainly nothing can be more ridiculous than an Imbalance of power such as exists in the Big Seven. Oklahoma has won 52 con-

Outspoken coach Earl Blaik of Army put his finger on an important point in the current issue of Look magazine wlien he approved the Ivy league's decision to lop the military and naval academies off the schedule. The Ivies haveno business playing the service teams, Blaik suggested, because their entire reason for being is different. He said: “We are not in competition with other institutions to develop scientists and specialists, which they aJone can turn out. “Ours is a definite mission-to graduate wel-educated young officers who have a willing, fighting spirit, and are imbued with the ideals of West Point and Annapolis." The colonel added that footbaH “fosters in American youth the many qualities essential to success

on the battlefield.’’ This does not mean that only schools preparing men for battle should play tootball. It does mean that the happiest possible solution to the present distorted collegiate football situation is one in which teams, seek their own levels, state their objectives frankly and then content themselves to stay and play right there. ~,ja Results Listed In Lutheran League Friedbeim defeated Fuelling, 3228, and Flat Rock downed Trinity, 32-19, in Lutheran grade school basketball league games at the Monmouth gym.

Ohio State's Star Is Named Player Os Week NEW YORK (INS) — Halfback Howard ' (Hopalong) Cassady, probably the greatest All-Ameri-can to come out Ohio State since Chic Harley, is International News Service’s player of the week. Cassady, who outscored lowa, 20 to 10, Saturday, got the nod from INS grid experts over standouts like Jim Swink of Texas Christian, Tommy McDonald of Oklahome, Pete Nest of Pitt, Howell Tubbs of Auburn, Royce Flippin of Princeton, Jim Decker of UCLA, Lenny Moore of Penn State and dozens more. The experts also singled out these other "Best of the Week” performances: Coach of the week —John Mlchelosen, Pittsburgh. Game of the week—Maryland’s come-from-behind 25-to-12 victory .over Clemson in an Atlantic Coast conference title bout for the Orange Bowl. Play of the Week—Jim Decker’s 25-yard field goal with 18 seconds to go which gave UCLA a 19-to-17 victory over Washington and kept the Bruins’ Rose Bowl hopes alive. Following is the evidence considered by the panel of East-West Shrine game scouts Bernie Bierman, Andy Kerr and Francis J. Powers; INS columnist Bob Considine. Sportscaster Harry Wisrner and INS sports editor John Barrington: Player of the Week Cassady, a 21-year-old senior, started four years ago by scoring three times against Indiana and closed his Ohio stadium career last Saturday by scoring three times against lowa. The 175-pound redhead romped 45 yards to- a touchdown the first time he got the ball, then scored again on runs from the ten and three-yard lines. He rolled up 169 yards in 26 carries against an lowa team which had lost only to Wisconsin and UCLA in seven games. With Saturday’s Michigan game at Ann Arbor still to go. Cassady now' has a career total of 36 touchdowns and 216 points, eclipsing the school record of 201 points set in 1916-17-19 by Harley. Coach of the Week Pittsburgh had a losing season last year even with men like quarterback Corny Salvaterra and ends Joe Walton and John Paluck. . John Micbelosen. a 1938 alumnus took over the head coaching job from ailing Lowell Dawson this year and the Panthers are being considered for a bowl bid. They’ve won six of nine to date and twice staged major upsets. Three weeks after tpopling Duke from the unbeaten ranks, they crushed West Virginia, 26 to 7. Saturday for the Mountaineers’ first defeat in 11 games dating back to their only loss of the season last year—to Pijtt. Game of the Week No game offered any higher stakes Saturday than the Maryland at Clemson contest. Maryland was the nation’s No. 1 team at the time and had a 13-game winning streak to protect. But more important, the Atlantic Coast conference crown and Orange Bowl bid was to go to the winner. Joe Wells, the game's leading ground-gainer, burst through for a 50-yard touchdown run that had Maryland in the hole. 12 to 0, until Ed Vereb crashed .from the one just before the half. The Terps averted their darkest hour when, Lynn Beightol passed to Vereb from the IS in the third period. Play of the Week UCLA, which-had lost only toMaryland in eight previous games and already was preparing floats for the Rose Bowl parade at Pasadena. was losing to Washington. 17 to 16. Saturday with less than three minutes remaining. The Huskies stopped a desperation drive on their own 11, then wereTlriven back to the seven and finally to their own goal. They got o(f a free kick but the Bruins, led by tailback (First Doriin) Brown, charged back to the 18 to set up the game-winning field goal by Decker with 18 seconds left.
