In view Of the wide reception
Of the idea it was ultimately de-
cided to expand the program to
include any interested diver, no

has throughout its life establish
ed an enviable record for lead

consciousness and has provided
the leadership necessary to the

The 1864 seminar Is but an
other manifestation Of the MS

Navy also leads in passing
accuracy for teams that have
fired more than 100 times.
Washington States .612 in 1858
is tops, but Navy has clicked
on .655 per cent of its pitches
in its first nine games.
Other team championships
still are up for grabs with only
10 major games remaining on
the schedule. Passing is one
that is far from settled since
the top three teams all have a
game to play. So Tulsa's lead
of 10 and 37.6 yards per game
is hardly safe against such
~paSS-minded offenseS as Baylor
and Miami, Florida. All three
have thrown for more than zoo
yards a game, the first time
since 1850 that three teams got
that much air mileage in the

Being Planned
For BIue-Gruy

MONTGOMERY (UPD- Off
Gals of the Blue-Gray football
classic began efforts today to
increase the scope of a regional
telecast Of the game this year,
with an eye on the possibility Of
the National Broadcasting Co.
resuming nationwide showing of
the contest in 1864.
The telecast was dropped by
the network this year in agree
ment with the sponsors because
Negro athletes were not allowed
to play in the game here Dec.
28.
The network suggested the
possibility Of picking up the tel
ecast on a national basis next
year during a meeting Tuesday
In New York with a delegation
Of Blue : Gray officials from
Montgomery.
Allyn McKeen, general man.
ager of the game, said 1t was
highly possible" the annual tel
ecast would resume.
He said, 1--WE had a very
pleasant meeting with the NBC
executives. They told us that it
was impossible to stage a tele-
cast of the game this year be-
cause of a joint agreement with
NBC, Chrysler and Gillette (the
sponsors) but that NBC wanted
to retain its rights and it's
highly possible that they will
televise the game next year.
eve were also given permits
sion to 60 into as many states
as we can obtain rights for
the regional televiSion. At first,
we were given only Alabama,
Mississippi and Georgia, but the
restriction was lifted. There's
also no limit to a radio broad
cast and we intend to have both
if it's possible"
Representing Montgomery at
the conference Tuesday were
McKeen, Mayor Earl James,,
Blue-Gray President Gus Dozier
and Inge Hill, attorney for the
Blue-Gray association.
