NEW YORK, Mar. 22.-There
will be live television of college
football games this fall, but not
as much as last year.
That was the opinion expressed
by the Television Steering Com
mittee of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association after a meet
ing last night with representatives
of all the TV networks.
"We had a very agreeable meet
ing" Tom Hamilton, chairman of
the Steering Committee, said. "At
this time there is a reasonable
hope that we have worked out an
experimental program, but we
must chart our course very care
fully"
Hamilton, athletic director at
the University of Pittsburgh, did
not disclose any details, saying
his group would submit recon-
mendations to the NCAA General
Committee at Minneapolis next
Tuesday and Wednesday IF we
can have them ready by then"
Bob Hall, Yale athletic director
and a member Of the Steering
Committee, said 1t was the COM
mittee's hope that "there will be
a pattern set this year that will
be agreeable to the industry and
colleges"

The ringside at Turner's Arena

Laken tell about it. Jones is

to be featherweight champion

who appeared many times in
Washington. Wilson lost a fight
here somehow on one occasion,
