Gu. Eyes 1owson W,
After Beating Wilson

Having disposed of Wilson Teach
ers second time, 68 to 43. Catholic
University's courtmen hope for an
other successful encore against
ToWson State Teachers tomorrow
night on the latter's court.
Tall and potentially dangerous.
ToWson could give the Cards more
trouble than case of mumps, but
Coach Abe Rosenfield can't convince
his pupils Of that fact. The entire
squad is looking ahead to next
weeks Mason-Dixon Conference COL
lisions with Western Maryland and
American U. They've got their eyes
on A. U. particularly. and this may
be one of the Capitals midwinter
sports classics.
Southpaw Jim LoSty tailed 20
points for C. U. last night, bringing
his season total to an even 100 for
seven games. Fred Conner netted
Is and Jack Walsh rang the bell
for IA. but the overall performances
was not satisfactory to Rosenfeld.
Catholic looked trifle rusty from
the Christmas layoff. Its passing
was not sharp and at times the
strategy seemed bit lame But
the Cards controlled the ball under
both backboards. and with Capt.
Gene Szklarz aiding the above trio
had more than enough scoring
power to halt the opposition.
1t was Catholics sixth win in
seven games and was a reminder to
its Mason-Dixon foes that Rosen-
fields machine must be reckoned
with in the title race.
AL Guiffredas five field goals
topped Wilson'S scoring last night.
Ken Burns tipped in nine out Of
IL fouls, and with Jack Spicer and
Billy Hibbs bore the brunt of VIII
sons offense.

Progress Made
In Sanity Code,
|NCAA|s Told
Most Member Schools
Reported Adherine
To Ethical Standard
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. THE
National Collegiate Athletic .Associa-
ton, embarked on a program to
establish a high ethical standard
among its membership, heard today
that steady progress has been made
in the enforcement of its year-old
sanity code.
Most of the members are adhering
to the code, few still are ignoring
it or violating parts of it, a survey
conducted by the associations Com
pliance Committee has disclosed.
Clarence F. Houston of Tufts COL
lege, chairman of the committee,
reporting to the membership, said:
This effort to make the NCAA a
regulatory body will not take place
overnight. If We can draw any
parallel from the experience Of other
educational associations which at
tempted to establish ethical stand
ards, We shall be fortunate If we can
regard ourselves as successful by the
end of three-year period"
Houston, head of a board which
includes Ralph w. Angler of the
University of Michigan and James
H. Stewart of Dallas, commissioner
Of the Southwestern Conference,
noted continuing violations as
follows:
There are some institutions, and
I believe very few, which are paying
little, if any, attention to the NCAA
or its code. There are others, who
by reason of tradition or pressures,
size. location or other reasons, are
encountering difficulties in the
transition period. They appear to
be making efforts to put their houses
in order.
THE great majority of the active
members of the NCAA appear to
be conducting their athletic pro-
grams on a sound and ethical basis
and we'll within the requirements Of
the code
Houston said the committee had
| investigated about 20 complaints
of violations of the code since its
founding. Some of these COM
plants have proved groundless:
others have resulted in the situa-
tions being corrected. The remain-
ing complaints have not yet been
disposed of because professional, or
other further investigation, Is in
volved"
