Poor Indiana, Lucky Kansas
Indiana moans and KU smiles.
Indiana motts and KU smiles.
KU failed to receive the probationary slap everyone was expecting the NCAA to hand to us. But the University of Indiana was not so lucky. If Indiana is an example of what might have happened here if the infractions committee had found KU guilty, then KU is indeed a lucky school.
THE COUNCIL reported that the Big 10 commissioner had been kept fully informed of the NCAA probe against Indiana, had conducted an independent investigation of his own, and that:
"It is the council's understanding that the conference plans to take action at an appropriate time."
Infractions Committee Chairman George H. Young of Wisconsin reported to the council that four of the six violations involved representatives or alumni of Indiana offering excessive aid to prospective football players. None of these players was ever enrolled at Indiana.
The other two infractions, according to the U.P.I., came about when two prospects, both of whom did enroll, stayed for eight days "in the homes of friends of the university prior to their enrollment in 1958."
BYERS POINTED out that Indiana, effective today, will not be eligible until after April 27, 1964, to play in any football bowl, any of the 14 NCAA championship events, or any of 32 affiliated events such as the Kentucky Invitations Basketball Tournament or the Drake Relays. And in regard to TV, Indiana not only cannot appear in any NCAA-sanctioned television game within the next four years but also is not permitted to make any commitments during that period for future TV appearances. This would appear to doom Indiana's chances of sharing in TV receivers for at least 6-7 years
The only other action taken by the council at its closing session was the
dropping of the unsportsmanlike conduct charge that was brought following the Syracuse-Texas Cotton Bowl game Jan. 1 at Dallas. The council said it could see no good purpose for continuing its investigation into the matter and so far as it is concerned “it's a dead issue.”
INCLUDED among the violations cited by the council in its report on Indiana:
- That an alumnus of Indiana, recognized as an athletic representative, offered a New Jersey prospect free vacation transportation between his home and school if he would enroll at Indiana.
- That another representative, who formerly played under Coach Phil Dickens when he was coach at Wofford College in Spartanburg, N. C., offered an Ohio prospect clothing, a $500 bonus and $50-75 a month if he would attend Indiana.
- That an Indiana alumnus, working with an assistant football coach who has since been fired by the University, made offers ranging from $300 to $800 as a bonus and $50-75 a month to a prospect in Virginia and also offered medical attention for the youth's invalid father.
- And that another prospect in Ohio was offered $75 to $100 as a bonus and free vacation transportation if he would enroll in the Bloomington, Ind., university.
The council said that while it recognizes that Indiana has dismissed an assistant coach who recruited under an assumed name. "The council cannot believe that the young man can answer for the recruiting pattern which has been a factor in the two cases involving Indiana University within the past three years."
Experience is what makes you wonder how it got a reputation for being the best teacher. — Franklin P. Jones.
Jayhawks After No.9 at K-State
It's victory No. 9 and sixth straight providing the motivation for KU's tennis team tomorrow at 1:30 when it entertains Kansas State on the home courts.
Coach Denzell Gibbens' team blanked the Wildcats three weeks ago, but this time it may not be so easy.
As Gibbens himself forecasts, "this should be a touch match."
When reminded of KU's lopsided victory at Manhattan, the Jayhawk coach quickly recalled that four of the matches went three sets before the Jayhawks prevailed. That would be all K-State would need for the team victory in the best of seven.
Pete Woodward and Mel Karrle will hold down the top positions in singles, and also pair off for the top doubles assignment. Dave Coupe, No. 3, and Jim Brownfield, No. 4. will team in the second doubles event. Bill Sheldon is slated to play the No. 5 singles match.
In case of necessity, Bill Gochis could be inserted into either the singles or doubles, and be expected to give a winning performance.
To date, the Jayhawks have won eight of nine team matches, including three by 7-0 scores. The Jayhawks lost by that identical score to Oklahoma State on their first road trip of the season. Overall, KU has won 47 of 63 matches. Jim Brownfield is the top singles player having won eight of nine.

Both teams have two games left, with the big game against each other in two weeks. The winner of this division will probably become the favorite to take the Hill Championship in softball.
In other A division games yesterday, Phi Delta Theta outlasted Phi Gamma Delta 8-7, in a game marred by playing lapses.
In the Independent B division Chemistry beat Letines 9-4. The only other Independent B game was woh by K.E.K. 4-3 over the Chemical Engineers in a close encounter.
