NEW YORK. Dec. 18, p
he so-called Purity ode OF
strict amateurism for college
athletics. adopted in principal
bv the National Collegiate Ath-
-letic Association year ago, is
doomed to failure. in the opinion
of a majority Of football writers
and coaches participating in the
Press poll.
Although there were hopeful
notes from some quarters re-
flecting the idea that "thls is a
step in the right direction" " most
of the answers saw little hope
for the code as long as football
remained a big time business.
Actually, the code will not go
into effect until next year as
the N. c. A. A. will take final
action Jan. At at it's annual con-
-vention in New York.
The board principles banning
-off-campus recruiting and pro-
viding for penalty in the form
of a "boycott'' clause were
adopted last January. Under the
"boycott" idea, schools will not
schedule any colleges which do
not conform to the code their
conference had adopted.
Action of the eastern college
athletic conference amended the
code to permit off-campus re-
cruiting if no financial induce
ments are offered.
Coach Dutch Meyer OF Texas
Christian was one of the few
who wanted to 60 on record
about the code when he said,
at won't work unless stiff
penalty is attached y
"You can shake your finger
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-12-19

and say naughty, naughty all
YOU want" He continued, But
mo code will mean anything
without provision for punish
ment of violators. There would
have to be drastic policing. The
N C. A. A. might have a Judge
Landis' with each conference
having it's own similar official.
After a code is adopted claimed
violations should be investigated
and. if school is found guilty,
punished severely-say by sus-
pension from competition for
one year.
The alumni problem was seen
as most important in operation
of the CODE Most observers
thought the alumni, either di-
rectly or indirectly, would con-
tinue to try to induce athletes
to attend their alma mater even
if the school knew nothing about
it. The power of alumni pres
sure for better teams was also
seen as a big factor.

the code a mobile experiment"

guarantee when negotiations
were opened for this return
match.
Because of pressure from the
New York Boxing commission
and the National Boxing Associ-
alton, however, Lesnevich and
Vella finally signed for the
match without a guarantee. The
boxing organization had remind
ed Lesnevich pointedly that
champions were supposed to de-
fend their titles every six
months-and he hadn't done so.
Lesnevich, who stopped Fox OF
Philadelphia in the 10th round
of their February bout, did wind
up with the Lions share of the
purse for their next encounter
He will receive As per cent OF
the gate; and Fox, only IS per
| cent.
