Neinas Denounces Athletics Bill
By LEW FERGUSON Associated Press Writer
TOPEKA, (AP) - Charles M. Neinas, commissioner of the Big Eight Conference, and representatives of collegiate and scholastic athletics in Kansas urged Monday the defeat of the proposed Amateur League Act of 1737 now pending in the U.S. Senate.
"The bill which has emerged would involve federal sanctioning of many events which we believe is unnecessary," Neimans told a news conference here. "And our conference rules would become subservient to a federal board.
"We hope the public will pay attention to what we are saying. We hope that when the constituents of our senators know how the athletic programs at our state colleges and on the high school level will be affected they will support our stand."
Brice Durden, executive secretary of the Kansas State High School Athletic Association, read a position statement which he said all those connected with collegiate and scholastic athletics in Kansas "endorse strongly."
It attacked Senate Bill 2365, the proposed
Amatute Athletic Act, as designed to create "a government sports bureaucracy" which would control sports in this country at all levels.
Appearing with Durbin and Neinas were athletic directors Clyde Walker of the University of Kansas, Ernie Barrett of Kansas State and Ted Breedhoff of Wichita State, Don Meyer, president of the Jayhawk Junior College Conference, and Deloss Dodds, track coach at Kansas State. Only Neinas, Durbin and Dodds spoke.
Neinas said the 12 U.S. senators in the six-state Big Eight area have all been contacted to oppose the bill, but he does not know which cases have been elicited to fight the pressure.
The Big Eight commissioner confirmed the National Collegiate Athletic Association, NCAA, was hopeful of educating the public against the bill, but the commissioner did not carry the message delivered here into the other five states of the conference region.
Durbin, who also is Big Eight supervisor of basketball officials, said that under the guidance of Coach Gregg Atkins,
meet would have to be sanctioned by the federal board if anyone other than Kansas high school athletes were invited to participate.
"The bill, as proposed, would require the Kansas Relays, the Wichita State University Relays, Big Eight inboard track championships and traditional high school and junior college events to obtain sanction for the event and ports association," the position owner said.
This is going too far, Netkins, Durbin and others at the news conference said, and is an unacceptable extension of the proposals to overhaul the control mechanism of U.S. amateur athletes as originally proposed in 1985. It was recommended by RKan., and J. V. Sunnue, D. Cullif
Neilnas and Durinna said they still want to see the original Pearson and Tunney projections.
Pearson's original bill would have set a system for reviewing the method of selecting U.S. franchise holders in the various sports for certifying competitors for international competition, and would have insured representation on the governing
bodies for the sports by all interested parties, including athletes.
He also said the Pearson proposal would iron out many of the sanctioning problems associated with his idea.
Tunney's bill proposed to overhaul the U.S. Olympic Committee to broader the rules of competition.
The original Pearson and Tunney bills were incorporated into measures offered by Marilow Cook, R-K-Y; Mike Gravel, D-Alaaska Strom Thurmond, R-D襄, and War-Altas Strom Thurmond, D-Wash, and the new bill was reported out by the Senat Commerce Committee.
"The AAU would lose some of its international franchises under Pearson's bill," said
The measure is expected to be placed on the Senate calendar sometime after the next session.
"As constituents of Sen. Pearson and as those most affected by the bill, we implore the senator to withdraw his support of S2365," the position statement said.
Durbin said Pearson promised to try to get the provisions to which the college and high school groups object removed, "but so far they have not been removed."

Oklahoma Dealt Another Setback
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The reeling Oklahoma University football team took another strong blow to the chin Monday when it was learned starting defensive tackle Dewey Selmon was hospitalized and could be lost for the season.

If all three brothers are found to have the disease it would completely wipe out the entire center of the starting defensive line for Oklahoma.
Don Vincent, 6-foot-2, 292-pound junior from Ada, Okla., stepped in as first team defensive right winger in place of LeRoy. He also body replaced Dewey at left defensive tackle.
Tuesday's practice will be the last of the Sooner's two-day workouts. Wednesday, the squad starts regular afternoon practices.

STATEMENT REGARDING STUDENT TICKET PRICES FOR 1973-74
The University of Kansas Athletic Board in its consideration of the approximately $10,000.00 cut in Student Senate appropriations to the KUAA for Fiscal year 1974 took note of the following facts:
1. That the Student Senate was faced with increased demand in a year when the activity fee was being decreased.
2. That the Student Senate was faced with increased demand in a year when the activity fee was being decreased.
2. That the fee for health is being raised, that the fees for Wescoe Hall and the new student health center will continue to be collected and that other incidental fees will increase next fall and
3. That the amount cut was appropriated to the Women's intercollegiate sports program under the anticipation that the program will receive state funding next year, and accordingly that the cut would be temporary.
In view of those facts and not undertaking the further facts that the KUAA suffers, like others, from an inflationary spiral which, coupled with losses from the prior two years, makes the Fiscal 1974 budget skeletal, underscores the importance of anticipating ticket prices for the 1973-74, anticipating that activity fee allocations next year will reflect the true needs of the athletic program.
The Board looks ahead with great anticipation to the upcoming football, basketball, and other sports programs in 1973-74 and believes that due to outstanding recruiting and coaching teams, the program promises to be outstanding. With that forecast and with student ticket prices held at last year's level the Board hopes that more students will take advantage of the opportunity to attend athletic events at a price not enjoyed by most high schools in institutions of comparable size to the University of Kansas.
