Avid Alumni
Blamed for
Cage Woes

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 8 (AP)
"A "lunatic fringe" is to blame
for many of college basketball's
woes, the president Of the Ma
tional Association of Basketball
Coaches says.
By '1unatic fringe" Wilbur
(Sparky) Stalcup says, he
means overenthusiastic alumni
and "a few misguided coaches"
who think the end justifies any
means.
Stalcup made his remarks in
an interview yesterday during a
visit here to arrange for NCAA
championship playoff tickets
for members Of his group.
Among his suggestions:
That point-shaving be made
a criminal, rather than civil,
offense.
That the meas hire more in
vestigators to uncover any pos
sible scandals in college ath-
letics.
He said the NCAA gets $17O,-
600 a year from basketball, yet
has only two investigators. He
suggested as many as IL to "a
are needed.
Hire as many as 1t takes to
get the job DONE" he said.
Investigate the alumni. In
vestigate the coaches. The
players. Everybody.
And then take forceful &C.
ton against the wrong-doers
That's the only way we car
get this mess straightened out
he said.
Indicating that much of the
trouble comes when booster or.
ganizations take over a colleges
athletic program, Stalcup said;
Pressure on coaches to wiz
at all costs rarely comes from
the college president. 1t comes
from these boosters.
Colleges must take back
their athletic departments OF
we'n never get over this head
ache.
Fortunately, the trend Is
in this direction" said Stalcup
who is head coach at the Uni
versity of Missouri.

TENNIS Talk

This years Western Mary
land Tennis Championship at
Mountain Lake, Md, was a
tournament Of upsets (includ-
ing stomachs from the night
before). AS usual at this event,
tennis played second fiddle to
a round Of pleasurable social
events, one of which was an
outdoor corn roast.
On the courts, Doyle Royal
eliminated Fred McNair in the
semifinals Of the singles. Doyle
lost in a four-set final match to
Phil Neff. This marked Phil's
fourth triumph in the event.
Other upsets included the
defeat of Dave Lewis and
Buddy Adair. and Fred McNair
and Doyle Royal, prior to the
finals of the mems doubles.
Mountain Lake draws more
Washingtonians each year
than all other out-of-town
tournaments combined. In fact,
nearly as many nonpartici-
pants as players make the
annual exodus to this rustic
resort area.

caused by drought of major
proportions in the southern

"This is the third year of

Next day, the skipper
began tallying the damage. It
amounted to more than $4,000.
The boats electrical system
had been completely destroyed,
including ship-to-shore radio.
The depth finder also was
damaged, a water pump ruined
and formica sink top shattered.

Ses were affected.
Mizzen Mast Split
Aloft the mizzen mast had
been split and many holes
burned in the jib. Even the
hull did not escape. Planking
was split off around the chain
plates and seams opened.
Where the original ground
ing wire had trailed, there were
only flash burns. It had dis

were flash burns In the cabin

body completely surrounds the
passengers.
If lightning enters the car,
it passes around the bodH.
through the springs and axles
and jumps the tires to the
ground.
On the other hand, lightning
has had its special dangers for
sailors ever since the days of
Ulysses. The English Navy lost
many ships because lightning
ran down the masts and
punched holes in the hull.
Stolle's use of a chain as a
grounding device goes back to
Capt. Cooks Pacific expedition
in 1853.
| Well Protected Now
Naturally. that was strictly
an emergency measure and
today Fancy Free is well pro-
tected with all sf1rouds and
backstays grounded directly to
the keel by a 2-inch copper
ribbon.
That's fine for a Sailboat
but how many outboard or
even inboard owners think Sc
riously about lightning?
The operator of an outboard
alone in open waters is almost
as inviting a target as a sail
boat with its maSts. The same
goes for larger, wooden power
boats, especially those with
iradequately grounded elec-
tronic equipment.
Take that ship-to-shore an
tenna bending so gracefully in
the breeze. Unless you have it
grounded directly to the water,
lightning can pass through the
maze Of wires, raising havoc
with the set, the boat and
possibly you. Without proper
grounding, the antenna should
be lowered every time you en-
counter a storm.
Fisherman Good Target
One Of the best targets is
the fisherman who keeps on
fishing regardless Of the squall.
That wet. metal-tipped pole is
an excellent lightning rod.
Another is the golfer with his
metal sticks, especially when
he takes refuge under q tree.
So is the swimmer because
lightning can and does strike
water, radiating its force in
all directions.
The Weather Bureau has an
excellent little folder on light
ming dos and dont's which can
be obtained for a nickel from
the Government Printin g
Office.

squall materialized with winds
Of at least 40 miles an hour.
The skipper quickly reefed his
mainsail, proceeding under the
jib and mizzen. Then the wind
died, leaving only the rain
and the lightning.
The skipper started his aux
iliary engine and, conscious of
the possible danger, grounded
the boats rigging by trailing
a copper wire from the back
stay to the water, a standard
procedure for sailboats.
Rain Obseures Lights
The rain came down in tor
rents, blotting out all lights,
including the beams from Rag
