stubbed a toe. The other kept
going.
Duquesne, which had won six
straight without reversal, bowed
to Yale at New Haven, Conn, 71-56,
leaving only II major teams with
perfect records.
North Carolina, meanwhile
stretched its winning string to
seven by topping Maryland 55-47,
in Southern Conference contest at
Chapel Hill.
Tony Lavelli, Yale's great scoring
ace, personally fashioned the un-
doing of the Dukes by scoring 26
points. Charlie Cooper tailed II

In the opening game of the Big

consin, $3.50. Wisconsin shackled
the Illini's scoring aces, Dixie Eddie

slapped a 1873 defeat on Purdue.

To Boost Spectator Appeal

College wrestling makes no pre-
tense of being as exciting as the
professional version of the sport.
But few rules changes in recent
years, plus a new attitude on the
part of many collegiate coaches, is
putting a bit more zip into a sport
ing event that used to be attended
only by a few relatives Of some of
the athletes involved
1t has reached the point now
where Tom Clayton, coach Of the
'Gallaudet College mat team, thinks
college wrestling is spirited enough
to supply fairly interesting winter
afternoon or evening session for the
average sports fan To test his
point, Clayton has scheduled Sat-
urday afternoon matches for his
Gallaudet team starting next Sat-
urday and running for the next
eight weeks. All matches start at
$50 pm, and with this regular
schedule Clayton thinks that he
will have built up a. good following
within a short time.
Fairly new rules that have
helped pep up the game are those
discouraging the type of hanging
on and riding that used to slow
down the matches. Increased credit
also is given for a fall as COM
pared to the points given for merely
winning the decision. The rules

New Rule Emphasized
AS Bow|ers Open
Evening Star Event
By Rod Thomos

AS an army of bowlers charges into
The Stars 2lst annual tournament
tonight at more than 80 establish
ments in the Greater Washington
Area, attention is directed to a new
rule in the simple setup of the giant
pin party. This has to do with the
stamping of score sheets.
AS soon as a bowler's 81 entry fee
is paid, the recipient is required TO
rubber stamp the contestants name.
All bowling plants have been supplied
with these stamps reading: Evening
Star Tournament" No score will be
official without this certification.
The stamp is expected to be a boon
to bowling managers and their as
sistants in handling leagues with
numerous entries. This speeds the
job when all that's necessary is to
accept the dollar and apply the
stamp. The entry blank can be filled
in at the boWlers leisure.
Karl Gochenour, manager Of the
Brookland Recreation, which led the
| list of establishments last year with
total of 1869 entries, followed this
system on his own and similar one
was used by Mac McLeary, manager
of Colonial Village, which placed
second with 1431.
Attention also is directed to the
handicap rule. A full handicap is
allowed, computed from the current
average of contestant in the
league from which he enters. For
handicapping purposes a bowler
must have rolled at least IS league
games. Mems scratch is 1913 and
women's 118 in the duckpin division.
In the tenpin section. directed by
George B. Seeley and Matt Bennie,
president and secretary, respectively,
of the Washington Tenpin Associa-
ton, the scratch is 200 for men and
women.
With bowler permitted to enter
every time he rolls in league
match, all are assured at least four
cracks at the 1000 or more cash
prizes in the month-long affair. A
number of leagues are entering en-
masse for at least one turn Some
are signed up for four, having de-
Quoted the fees from their treas

Limit on Post-Season
Ti|ts, Free Sub Ban
Up 10 NCAA Meetinu
By the Assoeioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-The
National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation sits down at the conference
table today to ponder its multiple
headache:
Are there too many bowl games
Will television cut collegiate gate
receipts?
What about the platoon system"
of football substitutions?
These are only a few of the puz-
zlers. The NCAA not only makes
the rules for college sports; now
adays it also sets up codes of be-
havior for its 3OO-odd member
schools.
/ A special NCAA committee has
been studying the football bowl
situation and is due to report be-
fore NCAA sessions are adjourned
next week end. Officially, no one
is talking-yet-about bowl games.
Unofficially, one coach said: Leave
my name out and just say some
thing will have to be done, sooner
or later"
Some 40 bowl games were played
between the end of the gridiron
season and January l. prospects
for next year: ColossaD
Bowls Seen Too Commercial.
Coach Tad Weiman of the Uni
versity OF Maine headed a group
last year which argued that colleges
merely were building profits for
commercial enterprises, in some of
the bowls. Weiman at the time was
outgoing president of the American
Football Coaches Association and
mis- views carried weight.
Some unofficial sources here said
the NCAA might limit the number
Of post-season games, possibly to a
few OF the Oldest of bowls; and some
said a ban on all bowls might be
discussed. The oldest are four of
the biggest: Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl,
Cotton Bowl and Orange Bowl.
Another NCAA committee will
report this week on a survey it has
made OF the effect of television.
Some eastern coaches and managers
would bar television cameras from
football games, agreeing with Ath-
letic Director Rome F. Schwagel of
Georgetown University, who con-
cludes: why should anyone want
to 60 to a small college game when
he can see the biggest game of the
day in his living room?"

Grid Rules to Be Scanned.
Although the weeks NCAA con-
ference also will consider baseball
and track rules. principal debate
seems to be centering around foot
ball rules.
Lou Little, Columbia coach who
heads the Football Rules Commit

coaches seemed to split most sharply
over the games unlimited substitu-

with the manpower' can field a COM
