Rapacz Not Happy With Pro Contract
Norman, Okla., Feb. 20—(UP)—John Rapacz, the University of Oklahoma football center, said today he received a $1,000 bonus for signing with the professional Cleveland Browns, but he admitted "I have been a big sucker."
"Rather than have the same thing happen to some other kids—I want everybody to know what happened to me."
Rapacz, the Kalamazoo, Mich. star who signed with Cleveland while he still had a year of eligibility at Oklahoma, said in a lengthy statement:
It was Rapacz's case that Wednesday prompted Dr. George L. Cross, Oklahoma president, to criticize "those who tamper with athletes before their college eligibility is up."
Rapacz insisted he "will always want" to complete his college career, and stated that Cleveland told him his contract was only a promise to play after finishing school. Since that time, however, he has been traded to the Chicago Rockets, for whom he has said he will not play.
"I if I had wanted to play pro ball next fall, I would have signed with the Los Angeles Rams," he said.
"The Rame offered me $7,000 for one year and a cash bonus of $3,000, while I am getting only $6,000 from the Browns plus $1,000 bonus.
Beck Outlines Club Schedule
A full schedule for the International Relations club for the spring semester has been outlined by Kenneth Beck, president.

Frosh Enter Track Meet
Coach "Bill" Easton's freshman track squad members will get the first opportunity of their college careers to display their ability on the cinders Friday, Feb. 20, when they challenge not one, but six other freshman track squads to a "postal track meet."
Four of the six, Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Nebraska are from the Big Seven and the remain- arg from the Big Nine. Ohio State, arg from the Big Nine.
A "postal track meet" is held in this way:
The Kansas freshmen hold a track meet among themselves on their home track, and each of the other squad does the same. The first three to place in each event are recorded along with the time or distance in which they completed their particular event, and the results are then mailed to the other competing schools. The results are compared, the points are totaled as in a regular meet, and the winner is announced.
Each school competes against the other as if it were a dual meet.
This method of competition serves a dual purpose in that it gives the otherwise untested fresh a chance to get into action, and it also gives coach_Easton a line on his varsity track material for the coming year.
Kansas Teams Aim For NAIB Playoff
Emporia, Kan., Feb. 20-(UP) Two Kansas conference teams and a pair of central conference quintets appeared likely today to play off for the district 10 invitation to enter the N. A. I. B. tournament in Kansas City.
Iowans To Swim Here
Coach Gus Fish of Emporia State Teachers' college, district 10 chairman, said the playoff system was chosen because Kansas had failed to produce a single superior basketball team.
Iowa State swimmers, unbeaten in conference competition since 1941. will meet the Jayhawker team in a dual met in Robinson gym at 3 p. m. today.
Likely contenders from the Kansas conference were Ottawa U., and Kansas Wesleyan, now battling for the loop crown.
Kansas State and Kansas University, both of the Big Seven, declined entry in the N. A. I. B. Wichita university of the Missouri Valley passed the playoff because of a schedule conflict.
In the central circuit, the selection appeared narrowed to Washburn, St. Benedict's and Emporia Teachers.
The Kansas crew, with a record of two victories and two losses, are not expected to be able to match the speed of the tough Iowa team. Kansas holds two decisions over the Wildcats of Kansas State, with losses to Oklahoma and Nebraska.
The Cyclones will be without the services of Jack Winslow, conference diving champion, who is out with a broken hand.
Saturday, the Iowa State tankmen will move on to Kansas State for a dual meet with the Wildcats, last team to beat the Iowans in conference competition.
Although space is limited, Coach Mikols said that as many spectators as possible would be accommodated at the meet this afternoon.

As Others Sing The 'Holdout Blues' Pitt's Pirates Can Lean Back And Grin
New York, Feb. 20—(UP)—Only one major league player out of six still was dissatisfied with salary terms for 1948, it was revealed today in a United Press survey of holdouts which found an unofficial total of 105 still demanding higher wages, 63 in the American League and 42 in the National.
Every team but the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National league had at least one "problem child" in the business of negotiations. The Pirates announced early in the week that all their players had been signed in almost record time, but elsewhere there were plenty of difficulties. Browns Have Cellar Trouble
The St. Louis Brownies, who acquired a number of new players in off-season transactions, apparently haven't been able to fit them into the general economy of a last place club, since they led the list with 23 players still not on the dotted line.
In the National league, the situation was exactly in reverse, with the first place Brooklyn Dodgers leading the way, 14 of their 1947 pennant winners still not being willing to admit they had been paid enough for their services.
In the American the World Champion Yankees were next to the Brown with nine players still unsigned while the Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators had eight each, the Detroit Tigers seven, the Cleveland Indians six, the Boston Red Sox three and the Chicago White Sox stating "no hold-
Champs Have Trouble. Too
outs" but indicating that there were several still not under contract.
The National league total of unsigned players by clubs found the Dodgers at 14 only two ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies at 12. Next in line were the Giants with six, while the St. Louis Cardinals admitted to three as did the Cincinnati Reds. Only two known holdouts were discovered in the Boston Brave and Chicago Cub ranks while the Pirates had a clean slate.
