The result will be bigger squads

When athletic directors and fac.

they also voted to clamp down or
the wide-open eligibility rules which
became effective soon after Pearl

At the time it was deemed neces-

Basket Ball Prober
Reveals PearIstein
As Fake Student

NEW YORK, Mar. 12-Lawrence
E. Larry" Pearlstein, one Of the
five basket ball players involved In
the Brooklyn College gambling case
in January, never was registered
student at the school, it was dis
closed yesterday.
Edgar Bromberger, commissioner
of investigation, made the disclos-
ure in a supplemental report to
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who
had ordered a probe after the
gambling scandal broke on Janu-
airy 20.
"Pearlstein at no time ever regis
tered or matriculated as a student,
day or night session, at Brooklyn
College" Bromberger said in his re-
port. He stated that he bought
some books, whose titles he does not
recall. and carried them to and
from home and around the campus,
as well as when he appeared for
basket ball practice, to create the
impression that he was attending
the college as student
mo one at the college-not even
any of his teammates-knewo or sus-
pected that he was not regularly
registered. Even his own parents
were under the impression that he
was a student until advised to the
contrary - after the transaction
with the gamblers had been dis
closed"
DR.. Harry Gideonse, president OF
the college. asserted that the diff
Guilty arose in the administration OF
our present policies rather than in
their character" and that Pearl
stein deliberately misled college
officers, including his coach, by
false stories about difficulties he was
experiencing in his academic stud
les and by securing his coach's sig
nature to routine documents which
he never filed"
Bromberger declared Brooklyn
College must insist Immediately
upon reversal Of the result of
basket ball games that it won while
Pearlstein was a member of the
squad" and apologize to the oppos-
ing schools. Pearlstein and the other
four players were expelled after the
gambling disclosure.

Postwar College Sports Boom

some cases as to make q change
necessary, the committee decided.
Players with four and even five
years of varsity competition played
against 17-year-olds the past year.
Under the revision, play by civil
ians, as such, is limited to four
seasons. However, F. E. Richart Of
Illinois, committee secretary, said
that civilians who become military
trainees will not be affected once
they enter the service, sven If they
continue college competition.
The committee also ruled that no
civilian student who Is a profess
sional in any sport will be eligible
for conference varsity competition
under the revised rules. Students
transferring to conference schools
will be banned from competition
for one year if they are ineligible
at the time Of transfer.
Powers Not Yet Defined.

which take effect July 1, Wilson will

of the conference code. Insofar

Lidman Thinks Indoor
Track Would Refard

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Mar. 12.-Haakan
Lidman, Stockholm's hurdling sports
editor, thinks Swedish track fans
would go for indoor track competi-
ton but doubts that Swedish ath-
letes could stand the strain of year.
round competition.
Lidman, fourth in the 1896 Olym-
pics and winner of 60-yard exhi-
bition a week ago, said today that
his country has nothing to COM
pare with the indoor track festivals
common to this country.
"Such enthusiasm" said the
writer-athlete who has become a
Madison Square Garden favorite be-
cause of his balletlike Varmup. Il
am sure Stockholm crowds would
cheer as much, however, If they
could see such races
Points to Haegg's Case.
But he points out that indoor COM
petition might injure Sweden's DOM
nation of the outdoor, middle dis
lance events.
"Gunder Haegg hasn't been able
to win here because he is not in con-
dition," he explained. Haegg was
last on March and fifth in a six
man field Saturday night in a pair
of mile races, both of which were
won by James Rafferty,. Saturdays
winning time was 4:163.
ITO get in shape for those eight
world records he set, Gunder started
skiing in January, concentrated on
cross country running in February
and March and tried for speed and
form the next three months to be
in shape for record exploits in Au-
gust. I don't see how you can add
a winter program to that" he ex-
planned.
Expects Gradual Improvement.
A week of drills on the grassy
paths in Central Park enabled Haegg
to cut more than II second from his
March 3 time in the Columbia mile.
Clicked in 4:31 after only so hours
ashore in the IC-4A exhibition, the
gaunt Gunder ambled home in
4:l9.1 last week end. He expects to
show even more improvement this
Saturday at Chicago and possibly
reach his peak at Cleveland on
March %.
Lidman won his preliminary of
the 60-yard high hurdles in :07.5,
but in the final was limping second
to Ed Digger OF Dayton, Ohio, who
was caught in :07.4.
