Feerick is optimistic. He points
out that for the first time this
season the Caps are physically fit.
For a change no onesis sitting out
with injuries. Tonight the Caps
hope to prove they are just as
good as the Lakers.
Stopping Mikan. who set a sea-
son record OF 81 points against
Rochester last Saturday night, is
the, main job confronting the
Caps. Jack Nichols, the Caps
6-foot 7-inch scoring star, will be
assigned as Mikan's personal
guard. Mikan scored 90 points
last night as the Lakers swamped
the Celties, 105-79, at Boston. He
is the loops top scorer with LOTS
points.
Nobody can stop Mikan al
together. But if the Caps can
slow him down and at the same
time run UP a nice total them
selves, they figure to take it.
But we have to control the
boards" says Feerick. "They have
some of the best blackboard men
in the business in Mikan, Pollard
and Vern Mikkelsen. We have
a few good ones ourselves in
Nichols, Chuck Halbert, Bones
Mckinney and Chuck Gilmur."
The battle of the boards, the
hot scoring hand of Mikan, the
return to Washington of Hassett
all tend to make tonight's game
worth watching. {.

Epidemic Of Upsets

Except for unbeaten Holy Cross
and Duquesne, last night was up
set night in college basketball.

an 1886 victory over previously
unbeaten Providence despite the
absence of Star Bob Cousy be-
cause of illness. ..5
Duquesne. ranked sixth. made it
Ii in a row by taking its Pennsyl-
vania rival, Waynesburg, STAB.
However, three of the top five,

and Kentucky. met defeat in
major upsets. l..
st. Johns. ranked second after
holding the No. / spot for two
weeks. fell before De Paul, 74-68.
Long Island, ranked third, was
tripped by North Carolina State,
55-52, and Kentucky, No. S, took a
71-60 trouncing from Georgia.
N. C. State, whipped on its
home court Saturday by La Sale,
played without a substitution in
tripping Long Island. Long
Islund, previously beaten only by
Kansas State and trying for its
18th straight, pulled within two
points at 54-52 with a minute
and half left and it looked as
If L. I. U. might turn defeat
into victory.
However. State successfully
froze the ball in the last 80 Sec
onds. Sammy Ranzino, who
sparked the Southerners with Is
points, made a free throw for the
final point after time had run
out.
De Paul, beaten seven times,
came from behind to take st.
Johns. The Chicagoans went
ahead at $3.50 midway in the
second half and then opened a
60-54 gap that st. Johns was un-
able to close in the last five min
utes. Bato Govedarica, a chunky
5-11 guard, sparkled with De Paul
with 20 points.
Georgia's victory over once
mighty Kentucky was perhaps the
most startling. The score was the
highest Southeastern Conference
five ever ran up against an Adolph
Rupp coached team.
Georgia's 6-8 Bob Schloss was
the key figure. He outplayed Ken

Elbows McFodden, Who Fought
Cans 10 Times, Is Dead at 76

Andrew John Tobin. who fought
the great Joe Cans 10 times under
the ring name of George Elbows
McFadden, will go to his grave in
Arlington Cemetery Friday per-
haps hardly noticed.
The 76-year-old former light
weight title contender died of a
heart attack Monday night at
Bethesda Naval Hospital. After
searching in vain for a relative to
claim the body. authorities decided
to bury him with simple honors
in the military cemetery at 2:3O
pm. Friday.
Tobin was a bright ring figure
for Is years, closing out his career
with a three-round no-decision
tiff with Cans in 1908 at the age
of 35. He opened the 10-year
series with Cans in 1899 by knock
ing him out in % rounds.
Though he could never master
Joe again, he held him to two
draws. fought four other no-de-
cision bouts with him and lost
three times.
Tobin knocked out George kid"
Lavigne in the 10th round Of a
well-remembered New York bout a

magazine, pointed out an article
entitle, Death of George Elbows

"is gross exaggeration."
Then he explained that few
months before, when he had been
near death at the Naval Hospital,
doctor asked him whom he
should notify in case Tobin passed
on. The former boxer suggested
the magazine as the most appro-
pirate medium for announcing his
demise.

CHICAGO. Jan. 18.-The Ma
tionaf Collegiate Athletic Confer
ence set about proving today that
1t has teeth in its bite after all.
1t snapped back again at six viola
tors of its sanity code-Virginia,
Virginia Tech. Virginia Military
Institute, Maryland, Boston Col
lege and Villanova.
They are barred from schedules
and NCAA sponsored meets under
the organizations constitution. 1t
is as simple as that. At least, that
is what the new NCAA president,
,HhgIs Oh illetts cf Southern Cali
fornia. and its secfetary- treasurer;
K. L. (Tug) Wilson, Big Ten Com
missioner, think,
It is all a matter OF reminding
NCAK.. members that they brush
up on the constitution and abide
by what it says in black and
white-the conditions and obli-
cations Of membership" clause.
This requires that members sched-
ule intercollegiate contests "only
with institutions which conduct
their athletic programs in con-
formity with the principles set
forth in article 3 (the sanity
code.l"
Convention Was Stormy.
After stormy New York con-
Vention last week, many observers
wondered where the NCAA's teeth
were. Seven schools were branded
as code violators, a charge which
they admitted. When it came
down to voting about their expul-
sion, they survived by a margin of
rs ballots.
The seventh school, The Citadel,
resigned from the NCAA. The
others remained, declaring that
the code, which strikes at recruit
ing. was unavoidable and imprac-
tical."
Willett and Wilson believe that
although the so-called rebel
schools retained membership, the
vote certainly cannot be construed
as giving them a clean bill of
health.
Through a memorandum issued
to members yesterday by the two
officials, the six violators (The
Citadel is no longer a member)
were viewed as schools without
good standing in the NCAA and
thus subject to automatic schedule
banning under the constitution
until such time as the Compliance
Committee finds they are uphold
ing the code.
The constitution, however, fails
to cover any action against a
member in good standing which
ignores the bylaws and schedules
member in bad standing. An
NCAA spokesman said this may
be ironed out in the near future.
"The constitution as q whole
and the sanity code in particular
are still in full force and effect
the memorandum said.
Evening star., 1950-01-18
NCAA Heads Move to Prove
That Sanity Code Has Teeth

Wilson was asked to justify the
memorandum after a convention
resolution calling for no further
action on the violators pending
study by a special committee of
athletic subsidy practices. He said
that according to a copy of the
resolution sent to us by the ste
nographer there was no suspension
of action in this case"
Despite the constitution, Off
clals of the six violating schools
for the most part have taken the
stand that the Willett- Wilson
memorandum was unwarranted.
Their comments:

ton G. Pritchett. -3T would think
that any such attempt Cat sched-
ule boycotting) at this time would
be out 'of line and very unwise,
particularly in view of the reso--
luton passed at New York last
Saturday. The action is very un-
democratic"
Maryland-Dr. H. C. Byrd,
president, who introduced the
resolution: In my opinion
neither the president nor the sec
retary has any authority to say
what the policy will be. The
constitution vests that authority
in the council and the council ad-
vlses the compliance committee
and the executive committee what
policy to pursue"
Virginia Tech-Dr. Walter S.
Newman, president: "Inasmuch as
the only body that could expel us,
the NCAA in regular meeting, did
not expel us, I think that we are
still members in good standing.
v.M. I. Tries to Comply.
v.M.I.-Athletic Director Frank
Summers: 'We are trying to COM
ply. We believe in the NCAA. But
I know of no rule that will uphold
such action. 1t looks like that's
what they tried to do in New York
and they weren't upheld. Now
they're trying to do it another
way"
Villanova-Father Mckee, mod
orator of athletics: "The memo
randum is all news to me-"
Boston College-John P. Curley,
graduate manager of athletics:
1--WE have heard nothing about
any schedule boycotts or bans on
competing in NCAA championship,
and, as a result, Boston College
officials have no comment to make
at this time"
The only leeway subscribed by
the Willett- Wilson memorandum
was that contests already sched-
uled with the six violators may
be played, but that extensions of
present contracts or agreements
are prohibited.
Willett said that although there
was divided opinion at the conven-
tion as to the penalty imposed for
nom compliance with the code as
it now stands, there was hearten-
ing unanimity of opinion that the

Coaches of the 13 teams making
up the new ational-American
football league will meet at Phila-
delphia tonight to recommend
changes in playing rules as a
prelude to the full-dress session
of club presidents tomorrow.
Any changes in rules agreed on
tonight will be placed later before
club leaders who eventually will
adopt or ignore them, but a lot
of excitement about more i'm
portant matters is expected before
they get around to discussing
football rules near the end of the
scheduled 3-day session.
Redskin Coach Herman Ball
will propose three notifications in
addition to a ban on such gadgets
as electrified megaphones to aid
coaching from the sidelines dur
ing a game. Balls proposals
would forbid running with FUN
bles, abolish plays making tackles
eligible to receive forward passes,
and outlaw hitting offensive CEN
ters while they are over the ball.
30-Player Limit Sought.
The Redskins also will ask for
a regulation restricting each club
to 80 players after the first two
league games. This will be di-
rectly opposed to the plea of
George Halas. owner coach of the
Chicago Bears, who wants an in
crease from the present limit of
81 to 33 men. Eleven of the 13
clubs must approve any changes
before they go into the books.
Three major problems confront
the club leaders: (A) distribu-
tion of players who belonged to
teams in the defunct All America
Conference which were not alb
sorbed in the new setup; (B)
divisional lineups of the 13 teams,
and Co a schedule of games
satisfactory to a majority. Any
one issue could touch off long,
bitter argument that would pro-
long the meeting beyond three
days. but it already has been
