NEW YORK, Jan. %. - up -
The most astonishing thing about
the filming of the University Of
Georgia by the Southeastern Con-
ference for playing ineligible foot
ball players is the disclosure that
in these upside-down days when
most schools demand only that
their sports representatives play
for only one side at time an
athlete can be ineligible for any
thing.
However, we understand the
Southeastern Conference rule last
fall barred the immediate play
in of transfer athletes, often lads
majoring in football and shifting
around to schools that were con-
tinuing the game or possibly were
pqying journeymen gridders above
the union scale.
AS far as we know the filming OF
a school by a conference is I'M
precedented,, but we wonder why
someone didn't think of the idea
long ago. The most painful spot
en- any person Or institution is the
pocketbook and whereas school
might laugh off the forfeiting of a
few games, when someone starts
shoplifting from the cash drawer
there are bound to be a few PAIN
full yelps.
The usual procedure in dealing
with an offending school is to for
felt the games in which the inell-
giible parties participated, although
when professionalism is involved
More drastic steps have been
taken.

Now when a professional baseball
club violates some eligibility rule

that's that. 1t would be sad state

The logical step is to go after the
school proper, as the Southeastern
Conference did. In the Georgia
case Coach Wally Butts admits
hody-checking the rules little
through necessity, and says he had
the approval of the athletic board.
The athletic board is part OF the
school, and the school is part OF
the state, so maybe the state OF
Georgia should have been fined

of fines instead of suspensions
