In Italian Scandal as

By The Associated Press

ROME, Sept. 24.-Italy's pro-
American government confidently
'battled Communist charges OF
corruption in the Wilma Montesi
death scandal today as arrest
warrants were issued for IL minor
figures in the affair.
With the Senate continuing its
riotous debate over the leftist
accusations, leaders Of Premier
Mario SceIba's Christian Demo-
cratic Party appeared almost GER
tain of victory in the forthcom-
ing vote of confidence. The
government requested the vote
in answer to Red demands that
1t resign.
The Christian Democrats
claimed pledges of support from
three smaller center parties and
said they had been given reason
able assurances Of support from
the monarchists. The vote will
probably be taken Saturday.
The warrants issued early to-
day charged the IL with giving
false testimony in connection
with the death of the 21-year-old
party girl, whose panty-clad body
was found on a beach at Ostia
near Rome, a year ago last April
The case has spanked rumors Of
sex and drug orgies involving
prominent Italians.
Investigating Judge Raffaele
Sepe, who issued the warrants
declined to say how many, il
any, had been served. He also
declined to identify any of the
accused. Other officials said
however, that none of the IL j!
connected directly with Wilma''

NEW YORK R--H there is one
thing person learns over q long
period of close association with the

get tired remarkably quick of
throwing their money into a losing
athletic venture.
They don't think they will when

stimulated at the time with the
though of doing something for
their home community and, at the
same time, being intimately asso-

which they have known all their
lives only from a distance.
A few fortunate ones, such as
Del Webb and Dan Topping, who
bought the rich Yankee empire at
a distress sale for perhaps a quar-.
ter Of its real value, never have
cause to regret their action. They
only make more money. But they
are the rare exception, and the

A sort of numbness seems to
have set in on the other club pres

with League President viii Har-

Their reaction, roughly, is that OF
q group of men who have seen a
colleague apparently saved from
drowning and then kicked back in
to the water. A club executive, who
declined to be quoted, said this:
II have no doubt they are all
fine fellows. Not one of them,
though, knows a thing in the world
about running a big league club.
Even with the best of luck, / don't

Amendments Seen
To Collegiate
.Cridiron Rules
BY ED rUNSrALL

NEW ORLEANS R-The report
Of the National Collegiate Athletic
Assn's Committee on Rule Infrac-
tons today may shatter the
quiet Of an otherwise routine three
day meeting.
Walter Byers, executive director
OF the NCAA, said the 1S-member
Executive Council of the associa.
ton heard the committees report
yesterday, but he would not dis
close If any institutions were I'M
der investigation.
The council has authority to dis
cipline violators short of expulsion
from the association.
The session today included COM
mittee reports behind closed doors.
The council is meeting to lay plans
for the associations 49th annual
convention in New York Jan. S.
Byers said ''two or three amend
ments to the associations consti-
tuition or bylaws" would be rec
ommended TO the convention.
One, he said, deals with fall pre-
season football practice. He said
it would permit institutions to con-
duct players physical examina-
tons and take press photographs
prior to the official Sept. ! start
ing date.
A second amendment covers in
tercollegiate scrimmages between
institutions before various seasons
open, Byers said. It has been the
practice of many institutions to
hold scrimmages which were not
counted as preseason practice ses-
sions, particularly in areas where
NCAA institutions were located
close together. Byers said such
sessions were conducted with the
knowledge and approval OF the
NCAA.
The proposed amendment would
bar such sessions, he said, because
some coaches feel that these scrim-
IMAGES benefit the schools which
conduct them while schools which
do not follow the practice are at
a disadvantage.

The Key West Conchs,
sixth rated prep school foot
ball combination in the
State of Florida, buckled
down yesterday to intensive
work in preparation for a
battle with Miami Constance
Friday night.
The emphasis was on defense
Yesterday as Coach Ed Beckman
worked his charges nearly until
sundown. Assistant Coach Walter
Chwalik, who journeyed to Miami
10 observe the Constance gridders
in action Friday, masterminded a
fair approximation Of the Con.
stance attack staged by Jayvees.
On the ground, the Jayvees fared
not SO well. But their passes were
clicking at rate alarming to the
Conch board of strategy. In other
words, Beckman will have to in
stall tighter aerial defense before
Friday night or Constance may
pass his ConchS silly.
On the bright side Of the ledger,
halfback Bill Haney was throwing
the ball with aplomb, Junior half
back Stuart Yates was ripping of
large gains with his determined
running tactics and the Conchs
forward wall - unscored on from
scrimmage this season - was func-
Honing smoothly.
Haney, injured in Fridays clash,
was none the worse for it. He threw
as If he were Johnny Antonelli. He
will be used sparingly Friday, ae-
c0rding to Beckman.
Yates, who has seen limited ac-
tion thus far In the season, consis-
tently ripped off large gains yes
terday, mostly on off tackle slants
and reverses. He proved that he'll
be valuable during the balance of
the campaign.
Beckman, plagued by injuries at
the defensive left end position nor
mally filled by Dick Kerr, has been
grooming pair of juniors, Freddy
Puig and Ronnie Parks, for that
position. Both of them showed a lot
of fire In yesterdays's drills.
The Conchs will ease off today,
with most Of their work concen-
trated on kickoff and punting drills.
"We don't want anyone hurt be-
fore Friday - we've got to be at
full strength" said Beckman.
He, along with the balance Of his
staff, know that Constance will
bring team to town which win
outweigh Curley. And they'll be in
a dangerous frame of mind due
to taunts tossed at them when they
refused to come to Key West last
year to fulfill a scheduled engage
ment.
