A&M Banishment Draws Protests.
Chicago—(U.P.)—The proposal that Oklahoma A&M be stripped of its academic accreditation, partly because of "over-emphasis" on athletics, drew quick and heated protests today from officials of the Sooner state.
A committee of the North Central association, a group which passes on the academic qualifications of its members, recommended yesterday that the school at Stillwater, Okla, be removed from the accredited list.
It also recommended that Bradley university be placed on probation for one year because it has not completely corrected "unsatisfactory conditions" in its athletic program.
Loss of accreditation would mean that no other schools in the association would recognize credits granted by Oklahoma A&M.
Gov. Johnston Murray of Oklahoma wired the association: "The entire state is shocked by this action. We request a public hearing."
In Stillwater, John Arrington, who represents that city in the Oklahoma State legislature, said he will ask the Oklahoma board of regents "to intercede in behalf of the college."
Arrington declared, "A&M college has maintained an education program second to none in the United States. Athletics have been secondary to the great education program carried out by the college."
The punishments recommended by the committee—the commission on colleges and universities—still must be approved by the full meeting of the association tomorrow. But committee recommendations usually are quickly approved by the main body.
Dr. Norman Burns, secretary of the commission, said the punishments would become effective
fuly 1.
"Furthermore," said Burns, "the commission was unable to secure any assurance that the institution was moving in the direction of bringing its program into conformity with the association policy."
In the case of Bradley, the commission complimented the school for "moving vigorously in the direction of correcting unsatisfactory conditions that have existed in regard to intercelerate athletic."
However, the group said results at Bradley are "not yet on a wholly satisfactory basis."
Burns said the group's study of A&M found that its "program of intercollegiate athletics is not being conducted in accordance with the North Central association's conception of the role to be played by intercollegiate athletics in the education program of a higher institution.
MU Coach Named KU Relays Referee
Tom Botts, moulder of six Big Seven championship track squads at Missouri, was named Referee of the 1953 Kansas Relays Thursday by meet director Bill Easton.
Botts follows a Big Seven coaching rival, Nebraska's Ed Weir, as Game of the 28th Jayhawkers came April 18. Weir held the post last spring.

Following his second consecutive conquest of the Colorado Invitational Septathlon field, Veryl Switzer, Kansas State's versatile trackman-footballer became a prime candidate for the 1953 Kansas Relays Decathlon championship. $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $
Switzer beat his nearest foe, Colorado A&M's Bill Flowers, by 276 points in Boulder last Saturday with a grand total of 4893 under the new decathlon scoring system. He won only two events, the 60-meter dash and pole vault, but picked up seconds in the 60-meter high hurdles and high jump.
It is still too early for definite entry, but Switzer's coach, Ward Haylett, who tutored the United States' Decathlon trio for the 1952 Olympics, is aiming the compact junior at that coveted title in the 28th running of the Jayhawker games April 18.
Of the 10 decathlon events, Switzer will come in cold in only three, the discus, javelin, and 1500 meters. For two years he has been a consistent point winner in dual and conference competition in the broad jump—he was Big Seven Indoor champion in 1952-high jump, 60-yard dash, low hurdles, and pole vault. He has spun the quarter in 55.3 and reached 40-1 in the shot, although he rarely competes in either.
Switzer Looms as Decathlon Threat
The field again will be limited to 10 hand-picked contestants. The first five events are carded Friday afternoon as usual, being fitted between heats of the 49th Interscholastic meet. The grind will close Saturday morning.
His best events, of course, are the broad jump and pole vault. He hit 23-9 in the former event at Boulder last year in bagging his first Septathlon crown, and owns an all-time top of 24-1.
Any mark approaching these would log a heavy score in decathlon competition. He also has been over 13-0 on three occasions in the pole vault and probably can do at least 12-6 despite the stress of sustained effort in the two-game endurance test.
If the decathlon called for low hurdles instead of the high barriers, the durable Ncodiemis, Kan., product would figure to be favored in
Psychologist to Attend Meet

McCormack Shifted To Football Browns
Mike McCormack, former Kansas football tackle, was one of 15 players swapped between the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Colts Wednesday in an effort to strengthen the two National football league clubs.
McCormack and four other members of the Colts were traded to the Brownys for 10 players, but only a few of them are expected to play this season. McCormack is now in military service

that event also, since he has run the 60 lows consistently at :07 and :07.1. He ran the 60-meter highs in :08.7 Saturday, which is equivalent to an :08.2 flight of 60-yard highs. Hay-let thus figures his charge can do :16.0 in the decathlon 110-meter highs.

He has been over 5-10½ in the high jump and has ripped the 100-yard dash in :10.1. He'll be running 100 meters here, of course, which means he should hit :11.1 or :112.
Another grid-track luminary, Arkansas' Dean Pryor, is expected back to defend his title. He was the first top-flight grader to win the event since KU's Jim Bausch wrought his second of two championships in 1932 on the way to the Olympic championship the following summer at Los Angeles.
However, the first five champions of the meet were footballers of considerable rank, as is Switzer. Oklahoma's Tom Churchill, father of the past season's Oklahoma basket-
