March 80 injury of Daniel Rene,
Springfield gymnast, during an
NCAA meet at the University of
Michigan. provided a case in
which the boy had to meet a
$4,000 hospital bill, aided only by
a $500 routine policy taken out
by the school.

jury costs ranged from less than
$500 at many small schools to as

costs were met in a variety OF
ways.
But K. L. (Tug) Wilson, secre-
tary-treasurer of the NCAA and
commissioner of the Western Con-
ference, was at a loss to explain
the Rene case.
"One of the first cases I have
ever heard of in my 30-odd years
