'Honest Mistake' Say Schools Rapped By NCAA Colt Rookie

By JACK CUDDY UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) — The United States Naval Academy, placed on one-year probation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for recruiting irregularities, announced defensively today: “It was an honest mistake!’’ That defense was made at Annapolis by Capt William S. Busik, director of athletics for Navy, the first service school ever penalized by the NCAA. The NCAA council found a Naval Academy assistant coach guilty of giving four young prospective football players an aerial joyride from Virginia to Dallas, Tex., for the 1964 NavyTexas Cotton Bowl game. Three other schools were knuckle-rapped by the NCAA council for “excessive financial aid and recruiting violations." They were Michigan State, Miami (Fla.) and Western State (Colo.) They, too, joined in the new college marching song: “Just an honest mistake.” Continuing Investigation A spokesman for the NCAA disclosed that his outfit’s fourman “committee on infractions” was continuing its investigative work and would make its next report to the 18man council at its January meeting. At Annapolis, Capt. Busik said, “the Naval Academy is distressed to learn of Wednesday’s action by the NCAA committee.” He continued: “As the NCAA pointed out, the violation was discovered by the Naval Academy, thoroughly investigated by our athletic department, reported by the Naval Academy to the infractions committee and explained thoroughly in the ensuing inquiry.” The probation, starting immediately, does not bar Navy’s teams from any competition; however the committee on infractions “shall review the athletic policies and practices of the institution.!! Announcing Navy’s probation, the NCAA explained that an assistant Navy coach testified that he had been erroneously advised by the academy’s athletic department that it was permissable for him to take the four youths from their homes Monmouth Jr. High Defeats Zion, 34-27 Monmouth’s Junior High team opened its basketball season with a 34-27 victory over the Zion Lutheran quintet from Decatur Wednesday. The winners jumped into a big 15-4 lead after one period, but the Lutheran team cut the margin to within two points, 25-23, after 19-11 at the half and closed to three periods. Monmouth, however, outscored their opponents by 9-4 in the final stanza for the win. Rex Journay’s 12 tallies led the winners’ scoring, and Mike Burger chipped in with nine. Moser led Decatur Lutheran with 11 and Steele added nine.

Sentence Reduced Michigan State was placed on three yean* probation but that penalty was reduced to a suspended sentence, the first of its kind in the NCAA.

Shraluka ’s Slants By Bob Shraluka Splinters For Coaches Monmouth and Geneva are deadlocked at 65-65 with one minute to play in the championship game of the Sectional tournament at the Adams Central gymnasium. Fred Fuelling has just scored to tie the contest as only one minute remains in th game. As Geneva takes the ball put of bounds under the Eagle basket, Cardinal Ron Bollenbacher is standing at center court, about three steps ahead of the Eagles, and none of them see him. Coach Don Elder jumps up and shouts to Danny Conrad to pick up Bollenbacher. Conrad hears his coach, runs back to cover Bollenbacher and kill the threat of a court-length pass. But wait! A whistle is blowing—Elder has been assessed a technical foul for leaving the bench. The Cardinals convert on the free toss and then take the ball out of bounds and stall the clock, winning the title by a single point. The rules makers have struck again ! Yes, once again there has been the annual changes in the rules, and this time the fellows who make them (many of- whom we’d venture to say hardly ever see a basketball game) have really outdone themselves. At no time during the new season, while the game is in progress, may a coach stand up. In fact, none of the players sitting on the bench may stand up. No one may rise from that The only exceptions are: (1) When the clock is stopped a coach may leave the bench to direct or encourage his players who are on the court. (2) A coach may (at any time) leave the bench to confer with substitutes, to signal players to request a time-out, or to perform other necessary coaching duties.

jt nJ & ......... 4 itwl BL . r Saves Lives — Prevents Technicals

But No. 2 is where the catch is contained. In the example we cited, Elder would be performing necessary coaching duties. But with the whistle-happy men in the striped shirts that handle today’s games, we’d bet that such a manuever by a coach would result in a technical about six or seven times out of every ten. Two technicals in one game, and the coach is done for the night. We admit that many coaches go to far in hounding officials, but when they keep the coaches on the bench throughout the game, they are, once again, taking a little something from the game. Most coaches are a little worried about the new rule, and who could blame them. y Out Adams Central way, coach Vernon Zurcher says that one play that he has been working on in early season practices is how to keep the coach on the bench. “Zurch” said the players are Worried about how he will keep his title as the “Most Acrobatic.]”

The charge was that at least 16 student-athletes la football had received improper financial assistance, and moreover a special football fund for needy players was maintained, apparently with the knowledge of assistant Coach Duffy Daugherty, who later became head coach. At its 'peak the fund reached 112,000, the NCAA infractions committee said.

Miami was placed on oneyear probation and its basketball team was restricted to games during that year already contracted for. The father of a Miami basketball player had provided transportation for a friend of his son to Miami and back—also free-board and room. Western State has reprimanded and censored for having given a wrestler-student more financial aid than was permitted, partially as a result of sloppy bookkeeping. Keane Named Mgr. Os Year By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) — 'Johnny Keane, who led the St. Louis Cardinals to the National League pennant and an upset victory qyer the New York Yankees in the World Series, was named the National League’s manager of the year today by the United Press International. The 52-year-old Keane, who climaxed the amazing season by quitting the Cardinals to become manager of the Yankees after the World Series, was the choice of 13 of the writers who made up the 1964 UPl’s 20-man board of baseball experts. Gene Mauch, the inspirational pilot of the Philadelphia Phillies, finished second in the balloting with four votes and Dick Sisler, interim manager of the Cincinnati Reds, was third with three votes. A long-time organization man in the Cardinal system who had been passed over five times before being named manager, the grey - haired, leathery - faced Keane guided the Cardinals to their first pennant since 1946 because he refused to panic even when his own front-office had quit on the team. Keane kept his players plug-, ging away in the wake of the front-running Phillies and Reds even though they fell 11 games behind tne leaders in early September. By that time, Cardinal owner August C. Busch already had begun to clean out frontoffice personnel and had Keane marked for the ax. on the assumption the Cardinals had no chance to win the flag. But the Phillies suddenly staged one of the greatest collapses in baseball history and the Reds were unable to hold onto first place when it was virtually handed to them. That left the Cardinals — and they finally clinched the pennant by beating the New York Mets on the last day of the season while the Phillies ended the possibility of a three-way tie by beating the Reds.

On Probation BALTIMORE (UPD— "If this had happened in my house, I would have shot you both." That was the warning issued by Municipal Court Judge L. Swell Landin Wednesday when Joe Don Looney and a roommate of the Baltimore Colts* rookie fullback, Preston Smith, were brought before him on charges of assault and f malicious destruction of property. The charges against the pair grew out of an altercation with neighbors at their Baltimore apartment Tuesday night. Looney, a former star at the University of Oklahoma, and Smith were fined $l5O each and placed on one-year probation under a procedure called "sentence before verdict,” which means they will not have a criminal record. They will face assault charges later. The complaint was made by Robert Schu, who testified Looney came to bis door and asked, “where are the girls?” Looney had known some girls who formerly lived in the Schu apartment. Schu said he told Looney there were no girls living in his apartment and claimed the 6-1, 230-pound football player became angry and sought out Smith. When the pair returned, they allegedly kicked in Schu’s door, then assaulted him and a guest while Schu’s wife and infant child looked on. The fracas finally was broken up by police in the foyer of the apartment building. In addition to passing sentence on Looney and Smith, Judge Landin ordered the Colts’ rookie to move out of the apartment building. Looney was obtained by the Colts from the New York Giants just before the start of the current National Football League season. He is a hardrunning back who has scored two touchdowns for Baltimore.
