|NCAA Meetinq
Draws Bead on
Red Shirting'

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 8 up.
Delegates attending the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic As
sociations annual meeting
opening today may lay the
groundwork for eventual elm
nation of red shirting."
This is the practice Of hold
ing athletes. out of a year Of
competition while they gain
experience. Another method is
by sending prospective athletes
TO prep school for a year be-
fore they enter college. The
latter method is used by the
service academies, although
their main purpose is to help
athletes pass entrance exami-
nations.
Present NCAA rules say an
athlete must use up his three
years Of eligibility IN five years.
There is some sentiment here
TO reduce this to four years and
also to pass rules against coll
leges paying any pre-college
expenses, such as for prep
school, OF prospective athletes.
Big Ten Has Rule
The Big Ten recently passed
rules outlawing red-shirting.
and several other conferences
or individual schools have SINH
lar rules. 1t can't be put on the
NCAA books at the current
meeting. since it was not on the
published agenda, but 1t can be
taken UP in committees for
consideration at future rules
sessions.
The real business sessions Of
TINS SD annual NCAA meeting
will be held next Monday. Tues
day and Wednesday. by which
time about 1000 coaches, ath-
letic directors and faculty rep
resentatives of the Nation s
colleges will be on hand. Among
the sc h eduled preliminary
meetings today were those Of
baseball. football and track
coaches, athletic business man.
ayers and sports publicity men.
Baseball Problem
Baseball coaches still are con-
cerned with problem that has
worried them for years without
solution, that of major leagues
grabbing players of the campus
before their collegiate eligibility
is gone. At one time. there was
an agreement that the majors
wouldn't sign college players,
but this was broken consistently
and no longer is in effect. TIE
coaches committee studying
the situation virtually has bro
ken of negotiations with the
major leagues.
Football coaches also may
hear from their rules and ethics
committee on the subject of
coaches walking out en- unfin-
iShed contracts to take jobs at
other schools.
Coming on with weekend
schedules are the Television
Committee, the Executive Com.
mittee and Executive Council.

This is a million dollars higher

Two senior highs, Aspen and

However, four Of the seven

Law Laid
To Rest

The county's proposed GEM
etery ordinance, although not
yet pronounced dead, shows
no sign of getting up off the
table where the County Coun-
ell placed it gingerly last Tues
day.
The Councils action followed a
turnout of aroused citizens who
protested against the ordinance
December 10. Ten opposing let
tiers have been received by the
Council since then.
Councilman j. Grahame Walk
er apparently spoke the mind of
the majority of his colleagues
when he said I'm not convinced
there is a problem
The tabling motion was offered
by Councilman Jerry T. Williams.
The Council then voted AYE"
on motion by Councilwoman
Stella B. Werner to have DR.. w.
j. Peoples, County Health Direc-
tor, and Charles M. Irelan, County
Attorney, to advise the council on
its responsibilities toward GENE
teries.
The original ordinance proposed
that all new cemeteries be
licensed and be at least so acres
large. Fees would have to be paid,
trust funds set up, records kept.
Some church officials argued the
proposal might legislate them out
of existence.
At Tuesdays short session,
Councilman Robert T. Snure was
unsuccessful in persuading the
council to appoint a special com.
mittee of clergymen, health off
Gals and morticians to study the
need for cemetery legislation and
report back June 1.

Tomorrow afternoon, be-
