Penn Starts Dispute.
Penn started all of the furore

The action was in violation of an
NCAA plan to restrict televising
OF college games in an experiment
to determine what effect TV has
on attendance.
The Philadelphia school, taking
the stand the NCAA program was
In violation of antitrust laws, sug-
gested the matter be referred to
the Justice Department for final
decision.
But DR.. Hugh c. Willett, presi-
dent Of the NCAA, said mo" in a
150-word telegram sent to the
University of Pennsylvania yester-
day.
Attorney General Consulted.
DR.. Willett, also athletic direc-
tor at the University of Southern
California. pointed out counsel for
the NCAA had been in touch with
the attorney generals office as to
the legality Of the program.
1naSmuch as we are convinced
OF the soundness of our position
we see no point in another ap-
proach to the Justice Department
on the matter of the legality of
our NCAA television plan" DR..
Willett said in his wire to Francis
Murray, director of Penn athletics,
Murray, in Marietta, refused to
comment but university spokes-
man in Philadelphia said:
We are still hopeful the dispute
can be 1roned out, but we are
going ahead with our television
plans. Much can happen between
June and September. So far, no
body has officially Cancelled any
thing. We still have a schedule
and we still have television con-
tract.

If Penn persists in televising Its
home games.
Cornell was not quite so def
mite. but Bob Kane, athletic di-
rector, said the traditional game
would be jeopardized if Penn con-
tinues to defy the NCAA.
That leaves Penn with Cali
fornia, Army, Navy and William
