The president of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
has denied charges by Frank
Leahy that the organization was
guilty of prejudice and influ-
enced by Big Ten members in
publicly censuring Notre Dame
last summer.
DR.. A. B. Moore, dean Of the
University of Alabama Gradu-
ate School, said last night that
the NCAA was Influenced only
by facts in censuring Notre Dame
for giving tryouts to high school
prospects for athletic scholar
ships.
Leahy, writing with Sports
Editor Tom Cohane in the cur
rent issue of Look magazine, ac-
cuses the NCAA of wasting it's
time "outlawing or frowning
upon things that are not essen

Larry IsbeU Tells
Marshall He Plans
To Play in Canada

Larry Isbell, former All-Ameri-
ca quarterback at Baylor and
the Redskins No. / draft choice
in 1852. has decided to play pro-
fessional football in Canada.
In a ong-distance telephone
conversation today from his
home at Waco, Tex, Isbell told
George Marshall. Redskins pres
ident. that he intended to play
in Canada this year. He did not
identify the team.
ISbell passed up pro football
in this county in favor of a
sizable bonus to play baseball in
the Red Sox system, but was
said to have concluded that he
was not good enough to star
in the majors and resolved to
get back into football.
Learning this, Marshall said,
he got in touch with Isbell in
an effort to sign him.
Marshall said he did not at
tempt to match the Canadian
offer but told Isbell that if that
was his decision it was okay
with the Redskins.
With three, quarterbacks al
ready on hand, Marshall said.
he did not want to take part
in a salary bid for an untested
rookie. The Redskins have Quar-
terbacks Eddie LeBaron, Jack
Scarbath and AL Dorow.
