NCAA Action Could Leave Big 7 On Limb
Action taken at the NCAA convention in Cincinnati Wednesday through Saturday will either leave the Big Seven out on a limb or create a quite different picture in college athletics.
If the various college conferences do not follow the Big Seven in emphasizing athletics, the conference will be placed at a disadvantage in recruiting athletes and building strong teams. Among other things, the rules prohibit excessive recruitment practices, ban post-season bowl games and limit spring and fall football and basketball practice.
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering, left by train today for the convention. He will arrive in time for the first session at 8 a.m. Wednesday. Arthur C. Lonborg, director of athletics, Jules V. Sikes, football coach, Clifford C. Kimsey, assistant football coach, and Hubert Ulrich, baseball coach, will fly to Cincinnati Wednesday morning.
Dean Carr, as the University faculty representative, will discuss with other faculty representatives of the Big Seven the proposals brought before the convention. They will vote on each issue to determine how the conference will cast its vote. As usual the other college conferences will each vote as a block in the final balloting on the issues Saturday.
Coach Sikes believes the convention will take much milder action than that recently taken by the Big Seven in the conference in Kansas City. Dean Carr expressed hope for a constructive program to come out of the convention and pointed out the demand on the part of the public for a clean-up of college athletics.
Among the points which will be considered at the convention are: the 12-point de-emphasis plan, some decision on the televising of sports games, and whether bowl games will be banned or allowed to continue.
The delegates will consider legislation to give the NCAA more strict control over athletics, a rule limiting or banning out-of-season practice sessions for both football and basketball, methods of controlling excessive financial aid to athletes and high-pressure recruiting. They will discuss the platoon system and its effects upon college athletics.
Besides the NCAA, the American
Kansas Cagers Prepare For MU
No games are scheduled for the Jayhawkers until Saturday night when they will journey to Columbia, Mo., to battle the unpredictable Missouri Tigers but the Kansas squad is continuing to practice hard in an effort to keep its unbeaten record intact.
The Tigers, coached by colorful Wilbur "Sparky" Stalcup, opened their conference season with a 55-57 loss to Iowa State's Cyclones Saturday but had defeated them previously in the Big Seven tournament 49-42. Kansas downed the Tigers in the finals of the tourney 75-65.
MU's Bill Stauffer, 6-foot 4-inch senior center, and Win Wilfong, 6-foot 2-inch freshman guard, were named to the tourney all-star and second teams respectively. They have been sparking the MU team which has a 6-5 record.
Coach Stalcup has a "top fifteen" consisting of six lettermen, two returning squadmen, three sophomores and four freshmen.
In Stauffer, Missouri has one of the conference's best rebounders. The big boy will give Clyde Lovelier tough battle under the backboards.
Lovellette has averaged 24 points a game against the Show-Me team in four conference contests. His sophomore year he set a record of 39 points which lasted until he blasted away with 42 while playing Southern Methodist this year.
Last season Kansas and Missouri shared second play in the -league with 8-4 records. MU gained the tie by upsetting KU at Columbia 38-39.
Football Coaches association, American Association of College Baseball Coaches, the sports division of the American College Public Relations association and directors of the new football hall of fame are meeting this week in Cincinnati.
