College Heads Blasted By Columbia Coach
New York—(U.R.)—Admitting that proselyting is here to stay, soft-spoken Lou Little's whispered words became a shout heard across the land today as he blamed the nation's college presidents for the current low estate of collegiate football.
Little, speaking as a coach whose Columbia teams for 22 years never have been touched by the breath of scandal, insisted that much of the gridiron scandal could be stamped out by a general rise in college admission requirements.
"The barometer of a football team is its admission requirements," Little asserted as he questioned last week's Washington meeting of 10 college presidents who attacked the easy courses offered at some schools.
"What I'd like to know," he asked, "is how those courses get on the college curriculum without the college presidents approving them? If they aren't qualified courses they shouldn't be there in the first place—and the president of the college should be the first one to know about such courses."
The man whose tattered Lions upset Stanford in the 1944 Rose bowl game argued that college football players have plenty of study time if they really desire an education; that collegiate coaches would adhere to standards demanded by college presidents and that scholarships should be taken completely out of the hands of the athletic department and handled on a strict academic basis.
"One of the big troubles now is that if a boy can't make the grade at one school, he knows he can always go somewhere else and pass the scholastic requirements," he charged. "If we all had the same
Bright Named Top Athlete In Iowa
Des Moines—John Bright, Drake's brilliant Negro halfback, has been named the outstanding amateur athlete in Iowa by the Iowa association of the Amateur Athletic union.
The choice as Iowa's top amateur athlete makes Bright eligible for consideration for the James E. Sullivan award for the outstanding
amateur athlete in America. Bright will be presented with an AAU plague at the City of Desmond basketball sponsored by the Des Moines Quarterback club, Dec. 5.
Bright ranks as the all-time top ground gainer since the National Collegiate Athletic association started its statistical area some 14 years ago. He gained 5,903 yards in his 3 years of play a brake. During his first 2 years he led the nation in total yardage, a leadership he gave up only last week.
In 1950 he set a 1-year mark of 2,400 total yards and became the only player in NCAA history to gain more than 1,000 yards both passing and running in the same season.
admission requirements it would do away with many abuses.
"There are a number of boys in college today who shouldn't be there," he added. "I know of cases where boys were accepted with poor scholastic records behind them."
At Columbia, Little insisted, the football players have "plenty" of study time and this season only two of his squad drew a failing mark in one subject each.
"And they take tough subjects—no setups," he pointed out.
Little said that proselyting "does not upset me" because it crops up in every phase of activity.
"Maybe I'll take a shellacking for saying this, but if the admission requirements are all right, if the curriculum is all right and the boy gets passing grades, I see nothing wrong with it." he asserted.
"But such help should not be administered by the athletic department," he continued. "It should be administered on an academic basis. Any of our boys getting financial aid can drop out of football any time they desire and it will not affect their situation at all."
Rose Bowl Bids Official
Los Angeles — (U.R) — Stanford kingpin of the Pacific Coast conference, was picked yesterday to meet the Big Ten, Illinois, in the 1952 Rose Bowl game.
The Indians selection was a mere formality as UCLA's upset defeat of Southern California Saturday eliminated any possibility of a conference tie and a split vote.
Stanford's selection was announced by PCC commissioner Victor O Schmidt.
Illinois was named as the Big Ten's universal choice yesterday with its 3-0 victory over Northwestern Saturday assuring the Illini of the conference title and the bid to the Rose Bowl. It will be Illinois' second trip to the Rose Bowl, having downed UCLA 45 to 14 in the 1946 game.
Stanford racked a season record of nine wins and one defeat, the 20 to 7 loss to its traditional rival, California. Nov. 24.
The Indians, under the guiding hand of Rookie Coach Chuck Taylor, defeated Oregon 27-10, San Jose State 26-13, Michigan 23-13, UCLA 21-7, Santa Clara 21-14, Washington 14-7, Washington State 21 - 13; Southern California 27-20, and Oregon State 35-14, before being sidetracked by underdog California.

With the finale against Missouri coming up, Jerry Robertson, KU's lank bombardier already has notched high spots on Jayhawker single-season, single-game, and career passing lists.
It also is the fifth most productive season ever enjoyed by a Kansas passer, being topped by Ray Evans's 1942 performance, two efforts by Gilman, and Ralph Miller's fourth place standing of 662.
Robertson Beats Passing Records
Robertson's 202 yards against Colorado last month also landed him third in single game efforts. Evans tossed for 236 yards against Missouri in 1942 and 204 against Nebraska the same season.

Baylor Places Three Men On All-Southwest Team
Dallas—(U.P.)—Every team in the loop with the exception of Texas Christian, which might win the championship, placed men on the 1951 United Press All-Southwest conference team announced yesterday.
Representing Baylor on the mythical eleven were T-Quarterback Larry Isbell and Guard Bill Athey, the unanimous choices, and End Stan Williams, Isbell's favorite receiver.
The other two spots on the team went to Southern Methodist and Arkansas.
Texas spotted Guard Harley Sewell and Halfback Gib Dawson, who lacked only two votes of being unanimous, the Texas Aggies placed Tackle Jack Little and Halfback Jenn Lippink of Boston Henson, who lacked only one vote of being a solid choice, and Halfback Teddie Riggs.

St. Louis—(U.P.)-Karl Hodge, a hardy 55-year-old tennis perennial of St. Louis, yesterday captured the National Indoor Tennis tournament veterans' singles title and shared the doubles championship.
Baylor which has been among the nation's top 10 elevens in the United Press coaches ratings most of the season, took three of the positions, including the only two unanimous choices, while Texas, Rice, and Texas A&M, which has yet to score a conference victory, placed two each.
Then he and Monte Ganger, Cleveland, teamed up to win the first veterans' doubles title in tournament history. They defeated Quinn and Sol Gould, also of Chicago, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. It was the first time veterans—players 45 years or older—competed in a nationally recognized indoor tourney.
He lost the first set in his quest for the singles crown to Eugene Quinn, Chicago, but came back to take the event. 4-6. 6-3. 6-3.
