CHICAGO, Feb. "a prelim-
mary 1852 football television
program will be mapped today
and tomorrow by the TV COM
mittee of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association.
The foundation of new con-
trolled program will develop from
q survey by the National Opinion
Research Center last fall.
The research center was paid
$4,000 by the NCAA to study the
effects of television on college and
high school football attendance
under the experimental 1851
program.
The 1851 network schedule
offered 20 games, featuring 80
collie ges in various parts of the
country telecast by the National
Broadcasting system.
System May Be Different.
yAfter a thorough analysis OF
all information, the committee is
expected to begin preliminary con-
sideration of the 1852 program, +"
Walter Byers. NCAA executive di-
rector, said. "The committee will
also prepare a preliminary budget
for the operation of the program.
Further meetings probably will be
held before the details are finally
set.
Byers said the 1852 pattern of
control may be different than last
seasons when a single sponsor
underworld the project and vari-
GUS regional blackouts were en-
forced.
The curtailed 1851 program OF
live telecasts of only designated
games drew considerable criticism
from some collegiate quarters, II
also was an issue in some State
Legislatures. Bills were proposed
trying to force State universities
to telecast games In defiance Of
the NCAA restrictions.
Despite these unfavorable pres
sures, the NCAA voted 1853 to 8 al

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The ques-
ton of whether the Bowie race
track would be out of receivershir
for the opening of the 1852 season
appeared today to be In the hands
of Larry MacPhail.
The former baseball executive
recommended that a syndicate OF
which he is a member drop It's
plans to purchase the course after
tine years dates were allotted yes
terday, then left for Florida.
But before he left MacPhail's &
associates asked him to reconsider
the plan to take up their optior
to purchase the track for So mil
lion by February 90.
1--WE do not feel we can continue
without his participation" )" Donald
Lillis, co-head of the syndicate,
said. ."We most certainly are not
satisfied with the 1852 allotment
of dates received from the Mary
land Racing Commission, and full
ly support Mr.. MacP Phail'S posi-
ton in this matter.
However, because we are sure
that under the policies and man
agement of Mr.. MacPhail, Bowie
dedicated to the welfare of its
patrons and horsemen, can be-
come one of the outstanding
tracks in the East, we are asking
him to- reconsider his withdrawal. y
MacPhail charged the track had
been getting only the crumbs
for years because it has beer

Usilaner Has Worries.
This is, of course, barring upsets
Iby Chamberlain over Western or
Coolidge or Eastern over Tech.

worry at Tech is keeping the pres

team from becoming overcon-
fident. Anacostia gave the Train
