Demands Ohio Stale Coach Retract Charge < INS) ~ Th ! heated ver bar Wattle being waged over the transfer of a basketball player from Ohio State to the University of Dayton may wind up in the hands of the NCAX. Rev. Fr. Charles Collins, director of admissions and athletic board chairman at Dayton, said Monday that the matter “will be referred to the NCAA” unless Ohio Stated coach Floyd Stahl retracts his charge that Mike Allen was induced to transfer to Dayton. .— Allen, former sophomore reserve center on the Buckeye squad, enrolled at the Dayton school last week a few days after Stahl had charged Dayton coach Tom Blackburn with “tampering” with OSU players. In his statement Monday, Fr. Collins said: “It Is my duty to safeguard the reputation of Mr. Blackburn and to alleviate the harm done the University of Dayton. Unless forestalled by an adequately publicized retraction, this matter will be referred to the NCAA." Fr. Collins said that he had written a letter to Stahl asking him to “afirm, deny or modify the charge” against Blackburn and that an “evasive and unsatisfactory” reply had been made by Ohio State athletic director Richard Larkins. "Many readers throughout the country have been given no opportunity to be informed that the accusation is false.” Fr. Collins declared. -> Blackburn himself has denied the accusation. On his weekly television show Sunday, the coach of the fourth - ranked Flyers said the charges "undoubtedly” caused damage to his personal reputation and to the school. Fr. Collins also pointed out that Stahl’s accusation was "mainly that Mr. Blackburn ’ ‘tampered’ with two Ohio State athletes In the sense of persuading them*to leave OSU in order to attend the University of Dayton, and that scholarships were offered to those boys as inducements.” The other player involved was John Snyder, a Sloot 1 sophomore forward from Defiance, O.
