THE PROBATION SLAPpED uh Indiana by the Nt'A A and a’so th e milder one put on b\ the 8,, Ten certainly set Ii liana back little as this really is a stiff p halty for the school to ink • Not only does it hurl 1. U.. hut a'.-j the Big Fen Cnnfetcnee as tl o\ will not allow Indiana’s FootHili games to be im hided in confvience records. INDIANA WAS FOR YEARS the doormat of th<- Big T< n as they just didn't have it for quite some time. Finally, a ccm h v ith a good background and a fumiy offense called the 5 ide-saddle T. was hired. This was Phil Dickens who had a good record in the Rocky Mountain and West Coast competition for years. He was forbed to set out the first yea; he was under an Indiana contract because of recruiting policies. THIS IN ITSELF WAS A Mis: penalty for the Hoosiers to take, and the first year under the Dickens staff, even though he wasn't around, the Hoosiers couldn't get straightened out. After Dicken. - got off the hook, they began to perk up and playing Indiana afte: that was not a matter cf letting your regulars rest to play the second stringers or get injui« 1 players back into shape without making any sacrifice. They oegan to pull those upsets, anil were even knocking the contenders. DICKENS HAD JUNKED HIS side-saddle T in favor of a single wing and also put a c< nsiderably tougher defense up than the Hoosiers had been playing sci some time. This combination of offense and defense began to reap the dividends. Now th ■ Hoosiers aren't a serious threat for the Big Ten Title, but nevertheless, the Big Ten schedule is bad enough Moth team s playing different numbers of eonferentc games, some not playing the perennial tep teams and in whole, just rather inconsistent. This dropping of Indiana's games fiom the standings will hurt that much more. I. U. can play their games, they just don't count in the conference standings. THE NCAA PROBATION was the first levied and it was much stiffer than the later-rendered Big Ten one. Tile NCAA, a group of somewhat dictate r s in many respects, handed their judgement down fhst. saying that I U. was under a four year probation making the school ineligible to entri teams or athletes in NCAA championship competition, postseason games and participation i'l any television programs contro”-

This comes at a time when I. U can use it very handily as they are just completing a new 3 1 million dollar stadium HOWEVER. WHEN THE BIG Ten handed down their decisi< i. on the matter, the commissioner Kenneth "Tug" Wilson said t..' NCAA penalty was rather stiff because it affects all sports and they were just being punished for illegal recruiting tactics in football. The Big Ten then just penalized the Football end of thi pregram. That is a blessing sci the school with the prospects for the basketball team they hav again this year. Also, the fact that Big Ten TV Baskeball is a big thing, it would have been unjustified to penalize them in this field also. HOWEVER. SHOULD THE HHirin’ Hoosiers win the Big Tei; basketball title under the NCAA's ruling, they would be unable to compete for the national crown in the regional playoffs, as they are barred from this type of play through the probation. The future of this and Whether or not the NCAA will review the case, remains to be seen. JUST HOW MUCH OF THIS type of thing goes on is known by no man. This practice became very strong after the war, when colleges were bidding for talent right and left. The restrictions had to be placed on the schools, but the number that strictly obey them is something else. Take for example when a school is bidding for a great athlete, say with 35 or 40 other schools, and heaven only knows that many athletes are approached by that many schools, they have to make the final decision to choose me cei ■ tain school, and it isn’t necessarily the beautiful campus. The number of schools, small and large, that tempt boys with different kinds of offers, is probabb almost as long as the number oi schools that compete in intercollegiate athletics. Only time will tell what will happen in this case and what will happen in futun* years to other schools found guilty of similar practices. Be Wise -Advertise!

Mildred Dunnock, whose place on the American stage and screen is parallel to the British eminence of Dame Edith and Dame Peggy, has the important role of Sister Margharita. Miss Dunnock will bo remembered for her striking performance in Elia Kazan’s film for Warnej - Bros.. "Baby Doll." Every role in “Tne Nun's Story,’’ no matter how small, is filled by a player of exceptional distinction, especially chosen for the characterization by virtue of talent and physical appearance. As a fascinating accompaniment to the adventures of Sister Luke, "Ilie Nun's Story” shows for the first time to lay audiences the mysteries and beauties <»f the final vow-taking ceremonies as novices become nuns.
