Looks Like Battle Of the Big Town Is Tribe Protests Pirate Deal
Gding Down to Wire |
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Sept. 27—For the seventh ‘year in the © last eight, it appeared likely today that at least one of the baseball pennant races won't be decided until the last: ‘day of the season. This time, with the Dodgers and the Giants involved, the madness is more intense than ever before because the teams authentically hate each other and the feud has spread to the point where fellow subway strap hangers | aren't speaking. ; The arguments are loud and long but the facts boil down to a good bet for the battle of the big town to continue until the final putout on Sunday afternoon after both teams poured it on to win easy victories yesterday. The Giants won their fifth straight, crushing the Phillies, 10 to 1, in a night game, while Brooklyn suddenly looked like a contender again after days of mediocrity—or worse—

By BOB RUSSELL WHAT'S REALLY wrong with intercollegiate ath-
How widespread are recruiting and its evil “twin,”
Why have there been so many recent scandals, like the basketball “fixes” at Bradley, Toledo and several eastern colleges, the “cribbing” violations at West Point, ickey's move to send In-| and the academic Jrregularities at William and Mary? :
THOSE ARE questions which the Chicago Baily News has asked athletic administrators at many major Midwestern universi-
“THE REAL basis for much of the Lrounle is that | some institutions have been too eager to build up their | squads, sometimes with little regard for the means they | Pittsburgh deal today was the ‘use,” declared Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, faculty representative of the University of Michigan since 1917. “Recruiting becomes offensive only when it sure Pirates, had been sold to Holly-| passes the bounds of reason. But it is too often accom-
panied by its ‘twin,’ subsidization. “Even subsidization isn’t too bad if it's on a per< .

or some group collects funds and goes out to ‘buy’
athletes.
“WHEN THE NCAA kicked out the sanity code,’ foo many people took that as a signal to open their checkbooks and go after
all the boys they want.”
PROF. AIGLER has some ideas about the West Point
problem, too.
“It's common knowledge that Army was putting a lot
| Basgall on the basis that Rickey of pressure on some of these high-school boys to ‘load up’ in football,” he pointed out.
“They may have taken
some who just couldn't keep up academically.”
: = » » “WHATEVER was wrong at West Point is the problem of the administration there —I don't believe that it's 4 general
problem,” declared Paul Brech- -
ler, athletic directér of the University of Iowa. » .n - “HOWEVER, I can't help believing that there's a lot’ to their trouble that we haven't read about in the newspapers.
= oy ~
“I DON'T think that athletics, as such, are overemphasized.” Brechler continued. “There has been some overemphasis on some things, such as winning. But it will take time to educate people away from ‘that idea. “I don’t think the pressure to win is quite as strong as it was four or five years ago.” “Certainly subsidization is . getting out of hand,” said Dick
Larkins, Ohio State Univer-
sity's athletic director, “1 think it will be the ruination of the game of football
| as we know it today—on an {amateur basis—unléss we get | busy and do something to stop
it. Mors nd more it will weaken the whole structure of intercollegiate athletics. *Instead of loosening up, as the NCAA did when it dropped the ‘sanity code’ we need more controls, «stricter regulations. » ~ » “f THINK the Big 10, as a group. has done and Is continuing to do a good job of hold- | ing the Hne. We have to keep
< on ‘doing that . . .and hoping |
that everyone else will come around to an intelligent meth-
od of handling the situation.” |

ahout it-—those of us in intercollegiate athletics have a lot ‘of problems,” declared Doug Mills, University of Illinois athletic director.
“But this whole country has | a lot of problems. We're caught |

Football coaches, past and present, had something to say about one of the biggest prob-
lems.
“Proper recruiting is all right —-even the churches do it.” pointed out Bob Zuppke, who retired as head coach at Tliinois in 1942. “But subsidization is something else again, It’s the real problem. "5 8 ” “IF YOU believe in the idea and ideals of amateur athletics, subsidization is wrong. If we go too far toward professionalism, it could mean the end of intercollegiate athletics, as we know it.” ® » » “I'M WORRIED sick about this situation and I know that a lot of other coaches are, too,” admitted one big-time football ¢oach, who insisted that he re main anonymous. “We're all sitting on a powder keg that can go up any minute. Unless something iz done soon, the whole mess is going to blow
sky-high. : “Coaches are fine, honest “men. But every one of them
has to do things: he doesn't want to do, if he's going to have a team. = » rr “YOU have to recruit. You can be just a fair coach and a good proselyter and get by ail right. But you can’t be just a fair proselyter—even if you're the best coach in the business and get by at all. ’
