MCAAy New Gridiron Ruling
Creates Friction In South
South eastern Conference
Secretary Says Idea Is
ridiculous"

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 9.-(P-
The NCAA's new so-called purity
code" prohibiting off-campus re.
cruitment of athletes was branded
by DR.. w. D. Funkhouser, South
eastern Conference S a y
Thursday as a ridiculous meas
ure that "takes us (S.E.C.) back
to where we were 20 years ago.
The plainspeaking official of the
open-dealing S. E. G. termed the
rule an idea that never had been
adhered to, never would be and
one that could not be enforced.
Warming up to the subject he
scored the parent .body's action as
an effort to make us out the goat
because our conference has been
openhanded in the matter of sub
sidization and other dealings with
athletes"
School and athletic authorities
throughout the Southeastern agree,
he said that the unhidden policies
of their w loop concerning &C
QUESTION of athletic talent had been
followed in a secret manner by
members of other conferences
contrary to written regulations"
Nevertheless the SEC. will
humbly change its regulations to
conform with the principles adopt
ed by the National Association, he
said.
eff we didn't we would be black
listed" he added, land of course
we couldn't let that happen. We
would be unable to complete
schedules for our teams, and our
athletes would not be eligible to
try for the Olympics and other at
fairs staged by the NCAA."
The SEC. committee which
carried it's views in a losing fight
to the NCAA floor will convene
soon to study the new code and
determine what rule changes will
be necessary, he said.

BABE RUTH STILL
SUFFERING PAIN
Former Home Run King Is
| Very Restless Has Had
No Visitors

NEW YORK, Jan. U.D -
Babe Ruth, who relieved the suf-
fering of many a youngster by his
visits to hospital wards, has had
no callers except his wife at his
own bedside since he underwent
"a serious neck operation last Mon.
day, it was revealed Thursday.
Ruth, who submitted to the opera
ton hoping that it might relieve
'~"intractable pains" in his head,
has been restless and suffering
considerable pain since he came
out of the anaesthesia, his nurse
reported.
Although it had been expected
that he would be able to sit up in
a day or so after the operation,
he has not been permitted to do
so, o has he expressed a desire
to do so, the nurse said.
She said no callers had been per
mitted and that Ruth slept or was
in a semi-conscious state most oil
the time.
The latest bulletin on Ruth's con.
dition said that he was little
changed and that he passed a rath'
err restless night with some pain
His temperature and pulse were
reported normal.
The former New York's home
run king has been in the hospita.
since last Nov. rs. The operation
on his neck was deemed necessary
after he failed to respond to treat
ment for what had been diagnosed
earlier as "sinusitis", an acute
sinus ailment.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Jan. 8.
-P- The National Federation OF
High School Athletic Associations
Thursday renewed its attack on
''Widely publicized bowl games
and other post-season high school
contests which require lengthy
travel and Excessive loss OF

A report on policy for s%anctioning
contests and a statement of "Cardi-

Thursday the National HSAA lam
baster a Christmas game at Miami

The athletic principles, resulting
from nationwide suggestions anc
presented by A. Willis of Chicago,
executive secretary of the Illinois
HSAA. recommended that high
school athletics ''be controlled II
such a way as to avoid the element:
of profe ssionalism and commercial

Too often such games offer al
opportunity to those seeking to ex

players, the report, based on views
from all stars, stated.

said.
Another of the principles recon-
mended by Willis was that athletlc!

Christmas holidays and academic
