Council Chief Says He's Pleased
At Acceptance of Sports Code

ljected most to the presidents
idea that each sport should be
confined entirely to its season.
Adams said many schools feel
that out-of-season practice is
necessary, and that many can
see no harm in bowl games.
North Central Follows Code.
The largest of the accrediting
associations. the North Central,
has "gone down the line" with the
code. Howes said. Other associa-
tions which have taken action, he
added. have moved in the same
direction to which the presidents
pointed.
Not every one. of course, agrees
with the program. For example,
DR.. H. c. (Curley) Byrd. president
of the University of Maryland, has
said, "The program has loopholes
big enough to drive an ice wagon
through"
But Adams says most educators
are agreed on the principles: the
differences, he says, come mostly
over the methods of proceeding.
I'm this country" Adams said,
when we decide on something,
we feel we should get results with
in 80 minutes. It will take time
years-to get this program estab-
lished and to change our thinking.
But on the basis Of what has
happened so far, I'm quite en-
couraged."

Goose Tatum led the Trotters

good quota of six-footers and
Russia may come out with some
bigger" Hobson said.
you must remember, too, that
these European teams aren't as
sembled on the spur of the mo-
ment as are ours. Most of these
teams have been organized and
have been practicing at least
year."
The Yale coach said one of the
best individual players in Europe
is Spain's Fred Borras. Hes only
six feet. but he's a whiz of a shot
and floor man. He could make
any college team in the United
States."
The Americans also will be
handicapped by Olympic rules,
which vary from the standards
in practice in this country.
One of the main rule differences
is a 12-foot, free-throw lane
rather than six feet. meaning a
larger restricted area for the
three-second rule.
"This will hurt our tall pivot
men," Hobson said. "They won't
be able to operate as freely under
the basket"
Other Rules Different.
Other Olympic rules specify a
jump ball must be made at the
point of contention, not at the
nearest circle; coaches can't talk
to their players during time-outs,
and four personal fouls bring
expulsion instead of five. Also the
baskets and balls are different.
THE baskets are painted black
and are hard to see," the Yale
coach said. "The ball is the same
weight and size as ours, but some
thing like a soccer ball and not
perfectly round"
The tournament games will be
played on indoor courts at Hell
sinki. The floors will be wood and
the gym specifications will follow
those in this country.
The American basketball squad,
made up mostly of players from
the Peoria Caterpillars and Kan
sas University teams, will assemble
June %, probably in Kansas City,
and play several exhibition games
before heading for Helsinki July 7.

The head of the influential
American Council on Education
said today he is greatly encour-
aged" at the progress made in
adopting a nationwide code which
would radically change college
sports.
DR.. Arthur S. Adams, council
president, said all conferences and
accrediting associations which
have taken action either have
(A) adopted the code outright, or
(B) taken steps in that direction.
Nowhere have we been turned
down." Adams said. Even those
who have been critical of some as
poets of the plan have agreed with
it's basic principles. I have been
greatly encouraged"
When the II college presidents
named to study sports-and find
a cure for whatever allied them

consensus seemed to be that they
may have gone too far.

How much progress has been
made since?
Adams and Raymond F. Howes,

reporter this breakdown on what's
been done so far:
Eastern conferences have pref
ty well gone along with what the
presidents wanted. The Big Ten
has baked, temporarily at least,
on cutting out spring football
practice and bowl games. The
Southern conference is consid-
ering the whole question.
In the Far West, the Pacific
Coast Conference reports it in
some respects is ahead of the
presidents. Ditto for Big Seven
and Skyline.

from the Southeastern or South

The Russians defeated Czecho-

title. Eighteen teams competed.

Knockout Finish Likely
In nRobinson-Graziano
Title Bout Wednesday
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April 14.-Champion
Ray Robinson and Rocky Grazi-
Iano, each boasting he'll win by a
knockout, have ended heavy drills
for their middleweight title fight
in Chicago Stadium Wednesday.
Chicago's fight fans are getting
more steamed up for this expected
slam bang scrap than at any time
since 1947. That was when Gra-
Ziano knocked out Tony Zale in
the sixth round to win the 160-
pound crown.
That Chicago Stadium fight
drew a gate of $422,0 an all
time high for indoor boxing. The
figure cannot be matched We'd
nesday night for the house is
scaled at $260,885 for a complete
sellout of 1910.
Crowd May Exceed 1900.
The crowd may we'll be more
than $4,000.
Zale, now retired, is the only
man ever to score a Knockout over
Graziano. He did it in the sixth
round in 1946 at New York and
in the third of their last clash at
Newark, N. j., in 1948 to regain
the middleweight title.
Since the Newark bout. the 90
year-old New York mauler has
been undefeated in 81 fights and
has won II of them by kayoes.
Graziano's shot at Robinson, of
course, is the climax of his come
back. 1t will be their first meet
ing. Most ring critics believe
Rocky has looked sharper and
been more serious in his training
than at any time since those bat
ties with Zale.
Knockout Likely.
Rocky has never gone IS rounds
and there is little reason to be-
lieve Wednesdays affair will go
the distance. A knockout finish
appears very probable. Robinson.
who has lost only two out of 139
fights, has never been counted out.
He has an amazing record of IS
knockouts to his credit.
Sugar Ray rules a solid 81
