his visit here and his conference
with Gov. Lawrence Wetherby as

He made that statement to

whether the inquiry was connected
with three players who already
have admitted participation, or
whether additional players are
under investigation. O'Connor said
that was all he could give out for
the present, but indicated he will
have further announcements.
Three of Kentucky's former

O'Connor was accompanied by
James B. White. an investigator
from the New York office. O'Con-
nor said there are other men from
New York working on the

O'Connor said he was here as
a result of a telephone call Gov.

Eastern Conference
Asked 10 Seek Review
|0f Full NCAA Setup
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The con-
Iservative Eastern College Athletic
Conference will be asked today to
go one step further than the COM
mittee of college presidents who
ARE opposed to football bowl games.
A special ECAC committee on
the improvement of intercollegiate
athletics will ask not only disap-
proval of bowl and other post
season games not controlled and
operated by collegiate organiza-
tions, but it will propose re-
evaluation of the entire NCAA
championship program.
This proposal, in line with the
recent Big Seven Conference ban
Ion all post-season competition, is
part of a seven-point program to
Ibe offered at the ECAC annual
meeting by committee appointed
September to study the entire
intercollegiate athletic picture.
The Improvement Committee re-
port and another by a committee
studying football television are
expected to provoke some heated
debate and objections among The
representatives of 80 Eastern col
leges which make up the con-
ference.
Likely to Favor TV Curb.
While the Television Commit
tee has given no indication what
its recommendations will be, it
is expected to favor continued
restrictions. The University of
Pennsylvania will offer a sepa-
rate resolution calling for the
elimination of all restrictions.
In addition to coming out
strongly against post-seaSon COM
petition, the Improvement Com
mittee, headed by William H. Nc
Carter of Dartmouth. also will
call for a change in the football
substitution rule; study OF prac-
tices in all sports in regard to
length of seasons. number Of
games, ETC.. and for restrictions
of some sort on out-of-season
practices. 1t also proposes a
change in the eligibility rule and
a general tightening-up Of OBJ
servance Of existing rules on re-
|cruiting and financial aid.
Indicative of the heated dis
cussion which this nine-page
mimeographed report may pro-
duce when it is discussed. point
by point. is the three-way pro-
posal concerning spring football
practice.
Alternatives Offered.
The committee, recognizing the
sharp divergence of views. offers
as alternative suggestions (a) that
spring football practice be elimi-
mated. tb) That it be restricted to
four calendar weeks with no COM
petition against outside teams and
with no fall practice prior to
September /. Or Co that it be
similarly restricted and with the
squad personnel limited to fresh
men.
Leading up to it's definite pro-
posals, the committee reviews the
summer report of the National
Association of Collegiate Com
missioners and the 12-point pro-
gram of the NCAA council. both
of which struck at similar
abuses"
Abuses Listed.
1t lists the principal abuses as:
al. An almost complete disre-
gard of the definition of an anna
teur sportsman.
%. Inroads on the general we'll
being of the student. such as: Un-
due encroachment on academic

Southeastern College Heads
Likely to Back, Bowls

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. IA (P.-
Southeastern Conference college
presidents opened deliberations
today on the bowl question
whether to join bowl hackers of
their own athletic stats or bowl
opponents on the American Edu-
cation Council.
The position they take may not
be known until noon tomorrow
at the end of the annual South
eastern meeting. The general
opinion now is that no changes
will be made.
The SEC says in effect that any
team in the 12-member conference
can play in any bowl it chooses
if that bowl properly splits tickets
and divides the cash according
to the NCAA bowl regulation.
During an advisory meeting of
head coaches and athletic direc-
tors yesterday, athletic officials
decided almost unanimously to
recommend that presidents not
tamper with the liberal bowl rule.

Letters to the Editor

Editors Comment: The follow ing letter was received last Fri day afternoon, too late for pub licition in the August Frontiers man.
 Dear Editor:
 We wish to thank you for the publicity given Lake George on the front page of the Valley From tiersman.
 Due to Lake Georges cratic nature combined with Alaska's tropical summer, the Mckinley Foundation officers were fooled together with many guessers. For the first time on record, Lake George flooded the Knik Valley before July 27.
 Five Alaskan communities had failed to report in to the Found ation prior to the actual break therefore the Mckinley Founda- tion was forced to withhold the exact time from the public until all monies, tickets, and reports had been completed. An attempt of sabotage forced this decision.
 The mystery of the barrel at Knik bridge wasn't intended to be a mystery. The barrel, act ing as a float, rose with the flood waters counterbalanced by an equal weight inside the watch men's building. When the water had reached the first flood stage, the ter-balanced weight stop ed the specially constructed clock at 4:59:02 AM. on July 24. The holes punched in the bottom of the barrel were to allow the ac- emulation of rain water to drain away while the barrel remained
