got, last Sunday, when l attend
ed the joint recital of Arimae
Burrell and St. Clair Kirton at
Union Methodist Church. EX-
pecting the usual performances
Of both principals, they were a
revelation to me. Arimae, ac-
companied by Tranas Long, was
a large percentage better than
very good; her voice has that
contralto appeal, she was con-
vincing, persuasive, and just
startling. My old friend, Kir-
ton, has also made a stride which
/ never missed until I saw it; in
addition to his usual good read
ing of his poems, he has gained
a stage department, a maturity,
which puts him several percent
age points ahead of his past per-
formances. The forgotten man,
Tranas Long, was just what he
should be, a support to the sing
er, self-effacing, perfect. Accom-
panists are supposed to be for
gotten, just as a villain is sup
posed to be hated. If you forget
about the accompanist he was
good. A very fine recital, in
deed.

Draft Board Ruling
On Mantle Due Soon
BY the Associated Press

TULSA, Okla, April 12.-Mickey
Mantle, the New York Yankees
prize rookie, probably will know
by the end of the week whether
he's headed for Army service or
a major league baseball career.
The 19-year-old outf1elder went
through a preinduction physical
examination yesterday.
But even if he's reclassified from
his present AZ status into an
eligible bracket, it'll be months
before he's inducted, Draft Board
officials have indicated.
Mickey originally was classified
4-F because of a leg bone ailment.
The leg pains him only when
wrapped tightly or when it gets
considerable use, as in a double
header, Mantle said.
"I'r play baseball for the Army
or fight for it, whatever they want
me to do" the rookie said. But
if I don't go into the Army,
want to play baseball"
Results of his preinduction
physical are being sent from the
examining center here to his
Miami (Okla.) Draft Board. The
Miami board will announce the
results It usually takes three
days or less from the time of the
physical examination until the
Draft Board receives the results

were at Mayo Clinic in 1880. Il

One day Rockne was reading a

Iliams today began a rigid train

New York May II.
He probably will find much more
trouble reducing to the 135-pound
lightweight limit than he did last

round decision from FitZie Pru-
den, a welterweight.

the welter title and will meet the
winner of the Johnny Bratton-
Kid Gavilan bout in Chicago after
fighting Carter.
Expects to Sign Today.

Ike added that he would like
a crack at the 147-pound cham
pionship. He also said, "Bratton
(the NBA welter champion) has
a good chance to defeat Gavilan. !"
They tangle May 18 in New York
| Williams has met them both
and has defeated Bratton three
times and Gavilan once. He lost
two other bouts to Gavilan.
Ike weighed 14512 last night,
the same as Pruden. the durable
Canadian. Only 1897 spectators
turned out for the Chicago Sta
dium show and the gross gate was
$3.50.
Both Fighters Battered.
The 23-year-old Pruden bled
profusely from a cut over his
right eye from the third roupd
on. And Ike, too, became a red
dish mess from a cut left eye
and a slit on the inside of his lip
Pruden, the sixth ranking well
terweight, proved able to take all
of Ike's power punches without
backing up and continued his
record of never being knocked
off his feet in four years. How
ever, he failed to land any telling
blows. 1t was his first defeat
after winning six in row.
I'm sure I can make the 1885,
pound limit" Ike said. His win
was his 18th in II overweight
bouts since last defending his
lightweight title in December,
1949. "Pruden is a tough boy
but his right is too SLOW"
Pruden was disappointed.

NCAA Now Planning
Some Football on ~
To Study Gate Effect
By the Asseeiaied Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April IL.
college football probably will
be televised on a selective basis
next fall while the colleges take
soundings to find out the effect
on attendance.
The National Collegiate Ath-
letic Associations TV Steering
Committee evolved plan which
now goes to the NCAA National
Committee under which one game
would be televised each Saturday
in each national area.
The announcement by the
committee cleared up uncertainty
that developed after the NCAA
called for a moratorium on foot
ball television.
The colleges made it plain they
must maintain football gate re-
ceipts to keep their athletic pro-
grams going.
AttCuudUCC GACCb SAVNAs
Live television has apparently
had a serious effect on game at
tendance, and the loss of such
attendance can only result in the
loss of the vital financial support
for the entire program of physical
training and competitive ath-
letics," Tom Hamilton of Pitts
burgh said in his statement on
the TV proposal. He is chairman
of the TV Committee.
College games were widely tele-
vised last fall. and some people
blamed TV for a decline in gate
receipts. 1t was argued that
small college games in particular
were hit by the network coverage
of such, famous teams as Notre
Dame, Pennsylvania and Army.
After the NCAA called for a
curb, the issue bounced into
politics. Bills were proposed in
Illinois and Oklahoma requiring
the State universities to televise
their games. The universities re-
piled that under the NCAA man
date other colleges would refuse
to play them.
Six-point Plan Evolved.
The TV Steering Committee
revealed this six-point plan:
/. One game to be made avail
able each Saturday in each city
or area.
2. The sponsors will determine
the game, and the NCAA TV Com
mittee will act as clearing house.
3. For test purposes individual
area and regional blackouts will
be made to see what effect this
has on gate receipts.
4. The plan will not apply to
post-season bowl games. TIL e
Army-Navy game. or any game
after November "a when the test
period ends.
5. There will be maximum pos
sible use of color television.
6. There also will be maximum
possible use of theater television.
phonovision, skiatron and post
game films.
Adoption of the proposal by the
NCAA National Committee seems
certain. Probably this arrange
ment will satisfy the Justice De-
partment which raised the ques-
ton of possible antitrust law
violation if televiSion were shut
loff completely.

Rockne, ALL Time Coach, Hoilet
As7O Years Ahead of Game
Last of q SerieS.)
BY Jerry Liska
Associated Press Sports Editor

Notre Danes Knute Rocke, &C
claimed yesterday as footballs
greatest coach of all time, was. 10
years ahead of the game in his
era. And if he were living today
his planning still would be 10
years in advance of coaching
rivals.
Both claims came today from
former players who helped Rockne
reach the pinnacle of coaching
success in the 1920s-the fabulous
-Four Horsemen. canny Frank
Carideo and the present Irish
coach, Frank Leahy.
Along with an all-time ALL
America eleven named in a Ma
tionwide poll by the Associated
Press, Rockne becomes ranking
candidate for the National Foot
ball Hall of Fame planned at
Rutgers University.
Warner and Stagg Named.
Also nominated for the hall were
second and third teams and
Coaches Pop Warner, Stanford
Carlisle, and Amos Alonzo Stagg,
Chicago. runnersup to Rockne,
The first team selections were:

Halfbacks-Red Grange. Illinois,

Fullback-Ernie Nevers, Stan

Rockne Wins by Wide Margin.
It's not difficult to imagine what
any journeyman coach, much less
Rockne, might have done with
such a spectacular team. Rockne
received four times as many votes
in the poll of sports editors and
broadcasters as his closest rival,
Warner.
Here's how they finished:
Rockne, 526; Pop Wagner. 1877;
Stagg. SO.
Rockne'S 13-year coaching span
at Notre Dame before he plunged
to his death in a Kansas plane
crash March 81, 1881, produced
five unbeaten, united seasons, 105
victories, ties and only II de-
feats.
But those men who knew him
best measure his greatness not by
the record book, but by his skill
as an ever-alert strategist and a
fine teacher who used razor
edged psychology as a surgeon
might a scalpel.
Always Thinking in Advance.
Coach Leahy today declared
"Rock always thought about S OF
10 years ahead. If he were living
now, he still would be 5 or 10 years
ahead. Rockne did more to elevate
the coaching profession and sell il
to the American public than any
other man"
Don Miller, halfback of Rockne's
Four Horsemen, said Rockne cal
ways was thinking in advance
both extensively and defensively
and he had Imagination. At the
time he died, he was working on
spinner plays, and if you analyze
the T formation and man-in-
motion, you'll find the ideas in
them are ones he already had ir

Two Plead Guilty
In Job Sales Case
BY the Assoeioted Press

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 6.-Two
pro-Truman Democrats man
and his wife-pleaded guilty yes
terday to conspiring to sell Fed
eral jobs in Mississippi.
They were Mr.. and Mrs. C. v.
Murphy of Winona, Miss. Mrs.
Murphy was member of the pro-
Truman Mississippi Democratic
committee. Her husband was a
rural mail carrier until last April.
Federal Judge Allen Cox fined
Mrs. Murphy $3.50 and sentenced
her to eight months imprison-
ment, but said she would be placed
on probation if she paid the fine
in 10 days. She paid the fine.
Her husband was sentenced to
eight months Imprisonment.
Judge Cox then dismissed
charges of selling non-existent
Federal jobs, brought against Roy
Brashier and j. H. Wilkinson,
pro-Truman organizers. They
were charged with selling jobs as
county director of the Office of
Price Sterilization. The jobs did
not exist.
Mr.. Brashier and Mr.. Wilkin-
son are also charged with perjury
and with conspiracy to sell Fed
eral jobs.
Ten other persons connected
with the pro-Truman committee
attacked the constitutionality of
the law under which they were
indicted and the indictments
themselves.
Judge Cox gave defense attor-
neys 80 days to file any further
motions. He then recessed the
cases until January 8.
