Ban on Miami
Continues for
Another Year

Los ANGELES. Jan. IL tA.-
The University of Miami in
Florida must remain IN the dog
house for another year, the mat
ter Of football television must be
settled and a lively fight inyolv-
ing small college basketball and
track meets was in prospect.
That was the picture today as
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association convention went into
its final stages.
The NCAA Council. which is
the powerful policy directing
body Of the organization, last
might extended the probation Of
Miami for one year.
The probation. second most
stringent punishment in the
books. keeps Miami ineligible for
all NCAA championship events
and participation In such invita-
tional affairs as football bowl
games. the Drake and Penn
Relays, and the Sugar Bowl Mid
winter Games, all staged by
agencies which abide by NCAA
rulings.
Originally Cited in 1854
The school was originally cited
In October. 1854. and placed on
probation for one year on three
counts.
The probation was continued
until this convention pending a
further study of affairs In Miami.
Originally. Miami was accused
of paying transportation costs to
the campus Of prospective ath-
Iletes. trying out the prospects
and excessive use of grants in
aid.
A subsequent examination by
IA representative Of the Commit
tee on Infractions brought the
allegation Of rule violations in
Ivolving a loan fund for medical
students and athletes, known as
the Eaton Foundation.
Also suspect was a matter of
outside financial aid rendered to
two unidentified athletes during
the period of probation.
The Foundation made the
loans, set the terms over a s.
year period and was responsible
for collection Of the loans. 1t
represented a group OF Miami
lcittzenS who raised the money
for the students. and 1t was es-
tablished in May of 1855.
Ratification Expected
Walter Byers. executive direc-
Itor OF the NCAA. said the Foun-
cations integrity was not cues
toned.
The main reason. he said. was
the fact that the Foundation was
not administered by the institu-
ton. as NCAA. rules require.
Further. he said, loans were of

DR.. H. Franklin Williams. vice
president of the school, and Ath-
letic Director Jack j. Harding

last Monday and were advised
last night Of the action.
The NCAA in its business ses-
sion today was expected to ratify
the Councils action. Byers in.

Objected to Studio Bouts
1t also charged that GUILD
activities had caused cancella-
ton of studio boxing shows tele-
vised by Station VIEWS Of
Cleveland from April to October
last year.
Del Monte said the Ohio Guile
had picketed VIEWS but denied
that his group tried to stor

shows from fighting any place
