College GHdders Start Work;
No NCAA Reaction on Carolina
Ry the Asseeiaied Prsss

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Sept. L.
No official reaction has been an
nounced so far by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association to
the open admission by the Uni
versity of North Carolina and
North Carolina State College that
they are not in complete COM
pliance with the NCAA's so-caIled
sanity code"
A move in January to expel
from the NCAA several other
schools not complying with the
code failed to gain the necessary
two-thirds majority vote.
The admission that the two
schools are not fully complying
came yesterday from William B.
Carmichael. jr., acting president
of the University here, Of which
the State College at Raleigh is a
part. He said the NCAA was noti-
fled Of these conditions some time
ago and indicated the schools
would discuss the matter further
with the NCAA if they find COM
plete compliance impossible.
His statement said:
ION May 8, 1850, after consulta-
ton with Chancellor House (Rob-
ert B. House of the University of
North Carolina) and Chancellor
Harrelson q. w. Harrelson of
North Carolina State College, and
the athletic authorities at the uni
versity at Chapel Hill and State
College of Raleigh, we notified
Clarence P. Houston (of Tufts
College,, chairman Of the Con-
stitutional Committee of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton that our two institutions were
not in complete technical COM
pliance with the regulations of the
sanity code.
I'VE have kept Mr.. Houston fully
apprised Of our situation. We have
told him that If we find that hon.
est compliance is impossible we
will discuss with him and his COM
mittee what action we should take
in this matter"
Carmichael refused to elaborate
on the details Of the schools nom
compliance.
Word that the two schools are
considering a voluntary with
drawal from the NCAA came
today from Roy Clogston, ath-
letic director at North Carolina
State.
"If the sanity code isn't made
more lenient in the January
meeting (of the NCAA), I feel
sure that both State and
Carolina will withdraw from the
NCAA." he said.
AT least that's my thought on
the matter, and I believe that
other officials of the schools feel
the same way" Clogston added.
Il do believe. however, that it
might be a mistake to withdraw
If there is any chance to stay in"

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. /.
Frank Sedgman of Australia and
Earl Cochell of San Francisco
were expected to produce another
thriller finish to a postponed
match when they resume their
clash today in the National tennis
championships at Forest Hills.
The score of the battle, which
was called yesterday in the fourth
set because of darkness, was ST,
7-5, 6-1, "A, with Sedgman
leading, 2 sets to /, but trailing
in the fourth. The Australian,
who has had his troubles through
out the early rounds, will be faced
with the problem of overcoming
a service break in the fourth set
against man who is known for
his quick starting qualities and
the ability to play brilliant tennis
for short stretches.

Cochell showed these attributes
yesterday in the first two sets.

confidence, then took command
of the play and ran out the set
and the third one.
After a discussion as to
whether play should be continued
in the fading light, Cochell broke
through Sedgman in the fifth
game of the fourth set and won
his own serve for a 4-2 lead when
play was called.
Three major upsets, one in the
women's division and two in the
mems. featured yesterdays play.
Nancy Chaffee of Ventura, Calf,
decisively beat the Wimbledon
champion. Louise Brough, 6-3,

football moved in today with its
snap. calisthenics and a whole
batch of new problems, but it had
to fight for attention.
While thousands of muscled
young athletes lined up for grid
iron gear throughout the land,
the country's attention focused on
Gil Hodges home run spree, the
American League pennant race
and the Korean situation.
The Korean war cast an
ominous shadow across the prac-
tice fields as every major con-
ference except the Big Ten
launched fall rehearsals. The Big

Right now, it appears the draft
will not materially hurt football
squads. But If things get much

needs more of these athletes for
gun-toting duty.
Other Problems Cited.
The sport faced the 1850 season
with other worries-television, for
one, vigorously opposed by many
of the smaller institutions; the
NCAA sanity code, for another,
which has threatened college
ranks with civil war.
The television problem hasn't
been tackled by colleges as a body.
Many of the big games will be
flashed on the parlor and beer
hall screens. Many of the smaller
schools expect to suffer.

Gil Hodges, called by many the
strongest man in the National
League, has just about proved it.
The husky Brooklyn first base
man hit four home runs last
night, equaling a feat performed
only five times before in major
league baseball. Hodges wallop-
ing Of four separate Braves
pitchers divided attention with the
hot American League pennant
race.
It happened at Ebbets Field as
the Dodgers routed Billy South
worth's men, 1913, to gain half
game on the idle Phillies, who
still lead the National League by
six games.
In the American League, the
stumbling Tigers blew a 2-1 game
to Washington and dropped two
games behind the Yankees, VIC
torious over Cleveland, 7-5. The
Red Sox nosed out Chicago and
now are only a half game behind
Detroit.
''I was really swinging for il

the lopsided affair in Brooklyn
Tying the mark was the biggest
thrill Of my life"
Knew He Had 1t.
OF his fourth homer. Gil said
II knew from the time I swung
it was a home run"
The five other major leaguers
with four home runs are Bobby
Lowe, 1894 Boston Nationals; Ed
Delehanty, 1895 Philadelphia Ma
tionals; Lou Gehrig. 1882 Yam
KEGS; Chuch Klein, 1885 Phillies,
and Pat Seerey, 1948 White Sox
None of them accomplished the
feat under such unusual circum-
stances-off four different pitchers
and on three different kinds of
pitches. Two of the pitches were
fast balls, one a curve and the
other change of pace.
In the cases of Klein and See
rey, their fourth und-trippers
came in extra innings-Klein S
in the 10th and Seerey's in the
18th.
Hodges, formerly a catcher, also
equaled the major league record
for total bases in a game-17.
He shares that mark with Lowe
and Delehanty. The big slugger
came up six times. He singled and
grounded out when he didn't
connect for the circuit.
