'Sparfans' Probation
And New N Proposal
Before Big Ten Today
By the As,oeiaied Pres, .

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Michi-
gan States probation status, a
new Big Ten football television
proposal, and plan for auto
matte Rose Bowl selection in case
Of a co-championship-were the
main items Of business at today's
Big Ten winter meeting.
Commissioner K. L. (Tug) Will
son will make an oral report to
the 10 faculty representatives on
the Spartans' probation. It has
been in effect since last February
%.
The probation originally was
to run for at least one year. Even
if Wilson should recommend that
it be lifted-and this is only
speculative-there. may be no
rush to do so.
Wilson has said that Michigan
State has shown "very satisfac-
tory progress and presumably
has done everything possible to
try for an accounting of the
Spartan foundation, booster
sponsored fund allegedly used for
recruiting"
Michigan State had no con-
troll or supervision of the finan-
cial outlay
The Big Ten Television Com
mittee hopes to secure regional
control of live television and
mapped a plan that is to be
submitted to the conferees after
approval of all athletic directors.
The eventual decision will guide
the Big Ten in the NCAA con-
vention at Cincinnati next
month.
The NCAA for two years has
voted for restricted live tele-
vision on a national basis and
last January turned down the
Big Tens regional suggestion.
Athletic directors are expect
ed to act on this recommended
ton adopted yesterday by foot
ball coaches: That in case of a
tie for the football title, the last
team to have made the Rose
Bowl trip will be eliminated. If
neither team has gone before,
the bowl selection should be
made on the flip of coin.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will
have a bricklayer playing end for
them against the Redskins Sum
day. But, unlike a baseball "shoe-
maker" the trade name for a
cunny-thumbed athlete, Elbie
Nickel is a bona-fide, Journey
man bricklayer, as well as a cork
ing good wingman.
In Pittsburgh they think Nickel
is one of the National Football
Leagues under-rated players. A
g. foot = l, 1875 FOUNDER, Elbie
broke in under the late DR.. Jock
Sutherland and was used only as
a blocker and defensive end. He
was one of the best.

Knows Everybody in League.
If pro football players ever get
around to organizing a union,
Nickel undoubtedly would be one
of the delegates. We don't mean
that he's a clubhouse lawyer, but
that he knows virtually every
body in the league and knows
enough about their foot tball
ability to write a book.
Hes got a job for life with us
if he wants it," Ed Kiely. Pitts
burgh'S director Of publicity told
us. "Art Rooney (Steelers' own

believe he'd pay Elbie just to sit
around the Office. Nickel could
be a good coach or a scout for us.
He knows his football"
Nickel will be 81 years old De-
cember %, according to the book,
but, like most pro athletes, he
is suspected of launching a year
or two. This is his seventh sea-
son with the Steelers and when
a fellows been around that long
it takes just a little longer to
recover from the last game.
Elbie was one of the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati's all-time great
athletes, and a good enough base
ball player to win a contract
with the Cincinnati Redlegs. He
wasn't quite good enough to keep
it, for which Rooney is duly
grateful.
Partner With His Father.
A great clutch player and Won
derfully durable, Nickel is a
partner with his father in a
Chillicothe, Ohio, contracting
business during the off-season.
But he lays brick, too, and can
tap and trim with the best of
them. At the union scale of $50
a day he hardly can afford to
be only an executive in the firm.
Nickel is supposed to be on the
injured list. He pulled a muscle
in his left leg, or something like
that. But Kiely scoffed at the
suggestion that Elbie might not
be able to play Sunday.
Hell be out there" Eddie
said, "if they have to bring him
in wheelbarrow."
