Loop Lifts Tourney Ban Upholds Bowl Ruling
The Big Seven conference lifted its ban upon team and individua participation in NCAA sponsored post-season athletic events, but retained the conference rule prohibiting football bowl games at the Big Seven meeting in Lincoln,Neb.,Friday.
Elimination of the ban allows conference teams and individuals to participate in NCAA basketball and baseball tournaments and track meets. The ban had gone into effect this summer.
Reaves Peters, Big Seven executive secretary, said that questions concerning recruiting and subsidization will be given further consideration at the conference meeting in Kansas City, Feb. 27-28. The freshman rule also is expected to be discussed at the meeting. A proposal has been made to permit competition by freshmen in the conference or to permit participation equal to that in other conferences.
The conference voted unanimously to abolish the football platoon system and will request the NCAA to change the substitution rule in order that a ban can come into effect.
Mr. Peters said that there was no discussion of enlarging the membership of the conference. Oklahoma A&M previously submitted an application for membership into the Big Seven, and there had been rumors that the University of Utah would seek admission.
The conference hit at recruiting by adopting a rule prohibiting the issuance of complimentary tickets to athletic events to prospective athletes, except for games on the home campus of the school giving the tickets.
Leagues to Study Effects of Media
Phoenix, Ariz.—(U.P.)The majors and the minors, probably in closer accord than they have been in many years, prepared for a joint survey on the effects of national television and broadcasting of major league baseball games.
Taking cue from George Trautman, head of the minors, and Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, president of the Western league, who warned that the majors might threaten the enforcement baseball if there wasn't close cooperation among majors voted to form a committee to study the situation.
Sen. Johnson had presented a resolution to the joint major league meeting asking that a share of television and radio receipts be divided among the minors. He blamed the national cases for the attendance dwindle in the minors. He pointed
Browns Gird For 7th Title
New York —(U,P)— The Cleveland Brown's prepared today to lock up their seventh consecutive pro grid title while the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions battled for the right to meet the hardy old champs in the National Football League's championship game.
The Browns clinched at least a tie for the American division with a 10-0 victory over the Chicago Cards yesterday. The Philadelphia Eagles remained a game behind them with a 38-21 triumph over the Dallas Texans. The New York Giants bowed out of the race when upset by the Washington Redskins, 27-17.
In the National conference, the Rams routed the Green Bay Packers, 45-27, while the Lions romped over the Chicago Bears, 45-21, to remain deadlocked for the lead. The Pittsburgh Steelers toppled the San Francisco Forty-Niners, 24-7.
Otto Graham passed 56 yards to Dub Jones for a touchdown on the third play of the game and Lou Groza kicked his 17th field goal of the season in the third period to account for the Brown's scoring.
The Eagles rolled up 391 yards rushing and passing to sweep over the Texans. End Bud Grant costarred with quarterback Bobby Thomason, who completed 10 of 14 passes, including two for touchdowns.
Eddie Lebaron threw four touchdown passes as the Redskins eliminated the Giants. End Hugh Taylor gathered in three touchdown passes for the second straight week.
Two pass interceptions enabled the Rams to strike for three touchdowns in the third period against Green Bay. Bob Waterfield starred for L.A., passing for one touchdown, running for another, kicking a 42-yard field goal and adding six extra points.
out that attendance had dropped from a high of 43,700,000 in 1949 to 26,305,328 in 1952.
However, a major league spokesman said that major league turnstile count had fallen off on a comparable basis.
Trautman set the tempo with a plea in which he asked: "Give us a little help before you destroy us"
The majors listened and agreed.
Everett Dye, Jayhawk Cager Enjoys Great Bunch on Team
Everett Dye, business junior from Independence, Kan., says he gets a great feeling playing on a squad with a "great bunch of fellows."
The 20-year old gamester is playing his second year with Dr. Phog Allen's cagers. Against Nebraska last year he had his greatest basketball thrill. The Jayhawkers tied the school scoring record by 90 points. Dye scored with only five $\textcircled{9}$ seconds left, when the Jayhawkers |

had no points, to help set the record.
Dye looks for a close race in the Big Seven with Kansas State and Missouri having strong teams. Drake gave the Wildcats a big scare before losing last Saturday.
Before coming to the University, Dye played under coach Walter Emmett at Independence high school. He lettered two years there and played on the team that went to the state high school playoffs.
Dye considers Dick Knostman of Kansas State one of the great players in the country. He first saw Knostman play at Manhattan in 1950. Knostman has come a long way since that time, Dye says.
Dye has shown definite scoring punch, and is a clever ball handler.
Besides playing basketball, Dye likes to shoot golf. Even though he likes golf for the pleasure of the game he is a sharp player. The high school squad on which he played finished fourth in the state. His favorite professional linkster is Jackie Burke.
After graduating from the University, Dye will be in the Air Force for two years. He hopes during this time he can play a game with some basketball in the service.
With the adaptation this year of a speedy team, Dye should fit well in the team's plans. Dr. Allen probably will use more than ten players in games this year.
24 Teams Open IM Basketball Season Today
Dye feels that basketball games should be kept on the campus. He cited the poor facilities at the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City as very discouraging for the players. On their trip last year, the Jayhawkers had to dress at the Hotel Muehlbach before going to the auditorium.
Approximately 1,260 men, playing on 126 teams, will participate in the intramural basketball season which opens today in Robinson gymnasium and Robinson annex. This is 14 more teams than entered last year, but is short of the record of 150 teams that played in the 1950 season.
The schedule is divided into three divisions. Any organization may enter one team each in the "A" and "B" divisions, and as many teams as they want in the "C" division. The Hill champions last year were Beta Theta Pi in the "A" and "B" divisions, and the Varsity House in the "C" division. All teams that played in last year's play-offs are seeded by lot into separate divisions for this year's schedule.
Intramural basketball started here in 1920 with 100 men playing on 14 teams. In 1930, with 51 teams participating, a second division was added. A third division was added in 1939 when 64 teams entered.
Walter J. Mikols, director of men's intramurals, said a few more officials are needed for the season. Anyone interested in officiating intramural basketball can contact him at the men's intramural office. Officials are paid $1 per game.

Conference approval has been given to Gil Reich, Kansas defensive star named to the Look magazine first string defensive all-American squad, to appear on radio and television programs as long as he does not receive compensation.
Reich Gets Approval For Radio, TV Bits
Reich, who was in New York this weekend for the Look all-American football dinner, has been turning down radio and TV appearances because he feared a Big Seven rule night jeopardize his eligibility in basketball.
CHRISTMAS SHOP IN LAWRENCE
By DON NIELSEN
Kansan Sports Editor
The list of gripes for today includes:
The result of the Big Seven conference meeting. The decision to abolish the ban on all post-season games except football is rank discrimination. Why should football be made an exception? As far as we can see, basketball takes as much time, draws as many spectators in the long run, and involves as many players as does the gridiron sport.
Of course, Oklahoma is going to be especially bitter at the result of the conference meeting since it seems somehow to be directed at them. The Sooners are perennial contenders for bowl bids. The decision to retain the bowl ban looks suspiciously like a case of sour grapes.
More on the results of the meeting of Big Seven officials. The unanimous vote against the platoon system of substitution puzzles us. The game of football is a game of specialists. The only thing the conference will gain is in the number of football scholarships it will have to grant. The game will suffer, in our opinion, by the removal of the unlimited substitution rule since players who are superior on offense, let's sav, will be sacrificed for players who are fairly good both ways.
The time factor may have weighed heavily in the minds of the officials, since the game will be considerably shortened by using players for 60 minutes instead of running platoons on and off the field.
Kansas State's moral loss to Drake. The fact that the Wildcats failed to live up to the great expectations held for them during the first game of their season does not necessarily mean that they have gone to pot. It does, however, indicate that there is a chance that the Big Seven conference will be a little closer than has been expected.
The credit side of the picture includes:
Evansville, Ind. — (U.P.)—Western Kentucky's Hilltopers made their first college football bowl appearance a success Sunday when they rolled over defending champion Arkansas State, 34 to 19, to win the fifth annual Refrigerator Bowl game.
Feix, who completed 16 of 25 passes for 182 yards, also won the most valuable player award.
