For De-emphusis

RICHMOND, Jan. 81 (AP).
The Southern Conferences
commissioner and one of its
former presidents are against
a suggestion for abolition Of
spring football practice or
shortening the basketball sea-
son.

ference president and chair
man of the Athletic Council at
West Virginia University.
Duncan said de-emphasis
of sports might be in the best
interests of education.
II the National Collegiate
Athletic Association really
wanted to make one needed
change" Duncan said, sit
would be to abolish spring
football practice"
He also favored steps to
shorten the basketball sea-
son."
Confer ence Commissioner
Lloyd P. Jordan said yester-
day. however, Spring practice
is essential to the athletes. It's
the one time when there is alb
solutely no pressure on the
boy"
And DR.. Ralph C. Mcdaniel,
former conference president
and faculty chairman of ath-
letics at the University OF
Richmond, said that under
prevailing NCAA regulations,
neither the spring practice sit
uation nor the basketball pro-
gram is being overempha-
sized"

Howser Due to PIuq

chances of making the grade
with the Athletics this spring

Howser is q shortStop. which
is something the AS sorely lack.
Both of their 1860 shortstops-
Ken Hamlin and Bob johnson

leave the field clear for Howser.
Howser's chances would be
excellent, even if both Hamlin
and Johnson were still around.
