BARRED FROM INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS FOR YEARS, OR PERHAPS PERMANENTLY,
BECAUSE A *CZAR* HAD WHAT HE CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT PROOF OF SOME ACTION THAT
HE BELIEVED "DETRIMENTAL TO ATHLETICS," LANDIS NEVER ACTUALLY PUT A CLUB
OUT OF BUSINESS, BUT HE TOSSED OUT CLUB OWNERS,
ALSO, LANDIS ABILITY TO TRACK DOWN MANY CASES OF RULE VIOLATIONS

DEPENDED UPON THE FACT THAT PLAYERS WHO FELT THEY WEREN'T GETTING ENOUGH
MONEY OR THAT THEY WERE GETTING THE DIRTY END OF SOME DEAL WOULD COMPLAIN
TO HIM, IN PRESUMABLY AMATEUR COLLEGE SPORT, | DOUBT IF YOU COULD FIN@ MANY
PEOPLE READY TO *BLOW THE WHISTLE,®

THE NCAA, AS | UNDERSTAND THAT BODY, ISN'T & INTENDED TO BE AN
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AS MUCH AS A BOOY FOR FORMULATING POLICIES ON WHICH THE
SEPARATE COLLEGES WILL ACT. THE AAU IS A BETTER EXAMPLE OF A BODY WHICH
HAS REAL POWER IN AMATEUR ATHLETICS, AND YOU KNOW HOW SELDOM IT GETS *THE
GOODS* ON ANYONE. FOR INSTANCE, HOW ABOUT THE STORY THAT GLENN CUNNINGHAM
PAID AN INCOME TAX ON NEARLY $30,000 ONE YEAR WHILE HE WAS STILL A STUDENT?

GETTING BACK TO BASKETBALL AND BETTING=-AND INCIDENTABBY I THINK
NED IRISH HAS TAKEN AN UNJUSTIFIED BEATING FROM THE SPORTS WRITERS ON THAT
SUBJECT== | DON'T KNOW OF A SINGLE CASE WHERE IT COULD BE PROVED THAT THE
COLLEGE BOYS WERE PLAYING ALONG WITH THE GAMBLERS, HAVING SEEN THAT NYU TEAM
YOU MENTION, ' DON'T THINK IT 1S GOOD ENOUGH TO CUT THE POINT MARGIN THAT
FINE=-CERTAINLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE GAMBLERS TO RISK MUCH MONEY ON IT,
APPARENTLY TEMPLE KNEW WHAT IT WAS DOING LAST SPRING WHEN THAT KIO WAS
QUIETLY ALLOWED TO DROP OUT, BUT THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES
HANDLING A CASE TO EVERYONE'S SATISFACTION,

IT MAY BE BESIDE THE POINT, BUT ONE OF OUR MEN WHO 1S ON FRIENDLY

TERMS WITH *THE MOB® TELLS ME THE GAMBLERS THEMSELVES DON'T WANT TO PUT
