50,000 to see UCLA Houston
Can you imagine 50,000 people—the entire population of Lawrence (KU included)—crowding into a giant arena to watch a college basketball game?
Impossible, some would say. The game would have to take place in an arena with three times the seating capacity of KU's Allen Field House, the second largest college field house in the United States.
Besides there couldn't be a game that would-generate enough excitement to draw that many people, could there?
Von those certainly could
On Jan. 20, number-one-ranked UCLA rolls its super-basketball machine into Houston for a show-down match with the number two ranked Cougars. The game will be played in Houston's Astrodome.
48,000 tickets have been sold for the contest, the first basketball game ever held in the Astrodome. UCLA has won 44 straight games, including ten victories this season. Houston is unbeaten in fifteen games this year.
Houston will have the home crowd to cheer for them, but it won't have the advantage of the home court. Since the Astrodome doesn't have a basketball court of it's own, one had to be shipped from California.
The game will feature a battle between two all - Americans, UCLA's Lou Alcindor and Houston's Elayn Hayes.
Eastern schools expected to push for 1.6 rule repeal
NEW YORK—(UPI) —A large block of eastern schools was expected to push for repeal or amendment of the controversial 1.6 academic standard today, setting the stage for the first big battle at the 62nd annual National Collegiate Athletic Association convention.
The 1.6 eligibility ruling was expected to produce the first heated debate in an otherwise peaceful conclave which has attracted 3,000 coaches and administrators from 600 member schools.
The 1.6 regulation was established two years ago. It provides that no student may participate in NCAA-sanctioned sports unless his academic standard is 1.6 or better when he enters college and unless he continues to uphold the standard.
East Opposes Rule
East Opposes Rule The Ivy League and other eastern schools contend the NCAA is outside its jurisdiction in establishing such standards.
Another amendment would fix responsibility on the athlete comparable to that now imposed upon the staff member and the member institution whenever NCAA regulations have been knowingly and willfully violated.
The American College Football Coaches Association, meeting in conjunction with the NCAA sessions, held general sessions and honored former Texas Christian Coach Abe Martin.
Martin, presently athletic director at TCU, was presented the
Finals near in women's volleyball
Forty-five teams, representing all living groups are currently participating in the women's intramural volleyball program at KU.
Eight leagues are represented in the Round Robin Tournament. Six leagues compete on Tuesday night and two leagues consisting of freshmen women compete on Thursday evening.
According to Miss Tinnie Tiger, director of women's intramurals at KU, the champions of each volleyball league will compete in a single elimination play-off tournament during the first week of the second semester to determine the top three teams in the female volleyball program.
Last year's champions were seventh floor Lewis, first place; Kappa Kappa Gamma, second; and 1-east Gertrude Sellards Pearson, third.
In the Thursday night leagues, fifth floor Oliver leads the pack in League No. 1 with four wins and no losses, while three teams are currently in a tie for first place in League No. 2. Battling for the top position are 9-north Oliver, 3-north Oliver and 6-south Oliver.
Leaders in the Tuesday night competition are Chi Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma "A," Sellards, Delta Gamma, Kappa Kappa Gamma "B" and Hashinger 5c.
