NCAA Says Colleges
Can Play Penn Games
Already Contracted
BY the AssoeIotsd Press

SPOKANE, WASH, June H.
Scheduled opponents may play
their football games with the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania this fall
without automatically placing
themselves in bad standing with
the NCAA, DR.. Hugh c. Willett
said today.
DR.. Willett, president of the
NCAA, failed to make telephone
connections with the association
attorney and other officials yes
terday regarding the Penn contro-
versy. For that reason he put off
until today his answer to the
Penn suggestion that the decision
be left to the Attorney General
Penn's question: Whether the
televising of football games is
legal or illegal under the Sherman
Anti Trust Act and the NCAA
constitution. The Ivy League
school was placed in bad stand
ing" by the association when it
refused to 60 along with the
NCAA's no-television policy.
Anti Trust Study Reported.
The association has reported in
the past that it went into the
ANTITRUST angle with the Justice
Department before adopting its
new policy.
Meanwhile, the Americ n
BroadcaSting Co. announced yes
terday in New York that it would
televise "the full home game foot
ball schedule" of Pennsylvania
next fall. The university's eight
games will go over the ABC-TV
network.
(The ABC outlet in Washing
ton is WMAL, Channel ~
DR.. Willett said Penn's oppo-
nents must make their own de-
cisions. He indicated the NCAA
expected its members to cancel
games If possible but not to risk
suit If held to signed contracts.

meeting which. got away to slow

seeped past the conference doors
on the television question. the

basketball games in l951-52 with

Smaller Schools Ask Boost.

which would permit the expert

Schmidt said the conference ban

Ticket Sales Spotty
For Louis-SavoId
Battle Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 12.-Joe
Louis and Lee Savold are predict
ing knockout victories for them
selves in tomorrow nights sched-
uled hereunder at Madison Square
Garden, and the consensus here
is that one of them had better be
right.
The possibility of the 37-year-
old Louis and the 35-year-old
Savold paving through Is rounds
isn't heartening, and ticket sales
have been spotty. The winner is
due for a September heavyweight
title fight against Ezzard Charles,
and Louis is a 3-1 choice to get it.
Both finished training yester-
day and were to arrive In New
York today. Louis weighed 211
pounds after sparring his final
four rounds at Pompton, Lakes.
N j., while Savold figured at
around 100 after his windup at
South Fallsburg, N. Y. In his final
workout. Savold twice staggered a
sparmate with a right cross. a
blow he seldom uses. He generally
is regarded as a specialist with a
left. either a hook or a jab.
Longs to Fight Charles.
Louis felt so frisky finishing his
training he said he wished he was
lighting Charles for the title right
now.
A sign of the times is the an
|nouncement that the weigh-in will
be held downtown at the New York
State Athletic Commission Office
Just like any other show. Louis
always had a flood-lighted four
star unveiling in the Garden lobby.
International Boxing Club off,
cials will be happy to settle for
$4,000 fans and 100000, though
hoping to get lucky with a break
in the weather. They look for an
upswing in sales when it sinks
home to the public that there will
be no home television or radio.
The no-radio, no-TV gimmick
was credited with putting over
the Sandy Saddler-Willie Pep
show and the Jake LaMotta-Lau-
rent Dauthuille bout last summer
Theater TV to Get Test.
Actually there will be television
of sort. The fight will be piped
on a special closed circuit to Sc
lected theaters in five cities-Bal-
timore. Chicago, Cleveland. Albany
and Washington. It's the first
sports test of a new idea-pay-as-
Iyou-go TV.
In Washington the fight will be
seen on the screens of RKO Keith s
and the Lincoln T'heaters. with
ringtime at 10 pm.
None Of the fight experts" here
will hazard a guess as to how
Savold will stack up. He hasn't
fought in a year since he knocked
out Bruce Woodcock to earn Brit
ish recognition as world champion.
Before that his last outing was
December s, 1948.
Louis has been able to knock
down only one Of five comeback
opponents since he lost to Charles,
but he still is a strong favorite.
"Ill beat Savold." Joe said yes
terday. But I'm just as confident
I could beat Charles and win back
my title If I was in against him" j"
