NCAA Rules
|SetUpBowl.
Cash Split

NEW ORLEANS R - Ever
wonder about what becomes of the
receipts taken in at major New
Years football bowl game?
The National Collegiate Athletic
Assn. has a set of rules on how
the money is divided and how the
tickets are distributed if the bowl
game involves a member college.
So let's take the expected figures
for Saturdays Sugar Bowl game
here, in which Navy and MissiS-
sippi will compete, as an example.
The total cash receipts, which
includes money from ticket sales.
programs, hot dogs, radio and TV
rights, will approach the half
million mark.
First come the taxes. Uncle Sam
gets 81 cents for every S. seat,
the city of New Orleans 26 cents
and the state of Louisiana Is cents.
Their aggregate will be about SAL
900 to the United States, $21, 900
to the city and 1000 to the state.
Of the remainder, the NCAA
rules permit the sponsoring organ
ization to keep Is percent. That
will be roughly S125, 900 and out
of this the Sugar Bowl fathers
make a voluntary gift of SIS, 200
to the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis. The rest goes for
operating expenses.
If the sponsoring group is not
involved in any stadium indebted
ness, all the remaining IS per cent
must be distributed to the two
competing colleges.
However, if there is a stadium
debt, the NCAA allows the sponsor
ing group to take another 20 per
cent for payment on such debts
with the remaining IS per cent
going to the two teams.
The Sugar Bowl people still owe
for enlarging Tulane Stadium to
about 81 900 seats so another esti-
mated $100, 900 is taken out of the
pot.
That leaves IS per cent, or about
$500 900. to be split equally between

Griffin, who is serving his third

Griffin added that the past per.

He also pointed out +hat, con.
trary to popular belief, greyhounds

Gator Bowl
Tilt Rated
ryClose
By r. T. MAcFEELY

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Up - The
nearer it gets to kickoff time in
the Gator Bowl football game Fri
day the more it shapes as an even
match between Auburn and Bay
lor.
Auburn is reconciled to the fact
that Jim Pyburn, An-Southeastern
Conference end, won't be able to
play his usual starring role-if he
plays at all.
The loss of Pyburn is big rea-
son the original choice of Auburn
by q touchdown has shaved down
to an advantage of about one point.
Another reason is the fire of the
Baylor Bears on the practice
field. This first team to represent
the Southwest Conference in the
Gator Bowl is eager to win.
Auburn, too, is keyed up to wipe
out the stigma of a 35-13 loss to
Texas Tech in the Gator Bowl a
year ago.
Even the probable loss of Py-
burn, much as it means to the
Tigers from the plains of Alabama,
hasn't dampened spirits.
Jerry Elliott, sophomore who
stepped up to first-string left end
when Pyburn twisted his right leg
in practice two weeks ago, con.
tinued to run with the Varsity in
final drills. Pyburn stayed on the
side-line.
Coach Ralph Jordan says Py.
burn will start if he is able to play
at all.
Baylor Coach George Sauer
solved a problem by indicating he
will start Dugan Pearce at right
guard if his team kicks off and
Henry Rutherford if it receives.
The position was held down most
of the season by Dan Miller, who
was dropped from the squad with
center Jimmy Taylor two weeks
ago for violating training rules.
An offensive battle is expected
from such versatile backfieIds as
Billy Hooper, Del Shofner, L. G.
DuPre and Allen Jones of Baylor
and Bobby Freeman, Fob James,
Dave Middleton and Joe Childress
of Auburn-both operating behind
fast, tested lines.

By Lewis +. Atchison

Regarded as one of the best
pro fotball prospects to come out
of Maryland, Ralph FELTON,,
Terps' fullback. has signed with
the Redskins. who had made him
their No. 3 draft choice.
In rejoining two former Mary
land teammates, Quarterback
Jack Scarbath and Tackle Dick
Modzelewski, FELTON, will be in a
temporary Jack of all trades
category until the Redskins de-
eide just where they can best
utilize his talent. But regardless
of where they put him, Coach
Jim Tatum of Maryland says the
Washington eleven got a lot of
football player.
Weighing 206 pounds and
standing 5-foot-11, the 22-year-
old FELTON, played two years at
halfback before being shifted to
fullback last season. Tatum
made the same switch with Ed
mighty MOI Modzelewski a
couple Of years before, and had
the same gratifying results.
High Praise From Tatum.
"We had one or two plays for
him on which FELTON, looked
like Harry Jagade of the Cleve-
land Browns" Tatum said today.
Ralph's a wonderful blocker. He's
tough. and nifty. If he breaks
out into the open he might go all
the way. 3
Il don't know anybody who left
out here as a better pro pros
pect." Tatum added.
The Redskins have indicated
they might shift FELTON, to right
halfhack where he would battle
Paul Barry and Julie Rykovich
for starting offensive job. The
Pittsburgh Steelers. after using
Mighty Mo at fullback one
season, were planning to move
him to fullback when he was
called up for military service.
Tatum said FELTON, was a fine
linebacker and had intercepted
some passes for the Terps in
key situations. One particularly
remembered by Jim interrupted
a Missouri march when Maryland
was nursing TO lead.
Tatum also rated FELTON, an
above-average placekicker on
extra points. With the kind of
practice he'll get with the pros,

Wrestling got a good press
here for two reasons. 1t drew
