Expulsion Matter
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 26.— (AP)—The University of
Virginia has asked the National Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation that a record vote—member by member—be taken
when the organization meets next month to consider the
possible expulsion of seven schools for “sanity code” vio
lations.
NCAA Secretary-Treasurer K.
L. (Tug) Wilson recently reconr
mended that seven “aetive mem
bers” be expelled at the annual
meeting in New York January 13
and 14. Wilson did not identify
the schools, but three of them
ere known to be Virginia, Vir
ginia Tech and the Citadel.
Virginia has also requested that
the NCAA permit its president,
Colgate W. Darden, jr., to present
the school’s position on the floor
of the convention.
A source close to Virginia who
asked he not be identified said
that it is “impossible for the
school to abide by the code.”
“A student cannot enroll,” he
said, “turn out for major sports
and hold enough of a job to put
himself through school without
sacrificing his academic career—
the very thing he came here to
get in the first place. We main
tain high academic standards.
Students cannot take a bunch of
assorted courses that lead no-‘
where. And the school insists
that they pass their work.” ‘
The source pointed to Virginia’s
honor system under which a stu
dent must say exactly under
what conditions he is able to
attend. 1
“We consider our honor sys
tem,” he said, “more immportant
than the NCAA code.”
In brief, Virginia wants to do
this: |
Pay an athlete enough money
to attend school so that he can
devote his time to study and ath
letics. |
The Virginia source made it
clear that if the “Sanity Code”
were a “workable plan,” then the
o?‘otel would be entirely in favor
“There must be a code,” he
said. “Jf it is a sanity code, it
must be a realistic code. Say
what you're doing and do what
you're saying. The present code,
under which members have been
given until January, 1950, to put
their houses in order or face ex
pulsion and schedule boycott,
will have to be liberalized or be
workable.”
Virginia has only 24 football
players who are attending the
school on whole or partial schol
arships. Some of its best players,
including 1040 Captain Johnny
Thomas, of Charleston, W. Va.,
have no scholarships and pay one
of the highest out-of-state tui
tions charged by any school in
the country.
North-South

Grid Battle
Set Tonight
MIAMI, Fla.—(AP)—Fifty-sev=
en' star football players from eol
leges in many parts of the country
tapered off on drills Saturday and
yesterday they were pronounced
ready for the Shrine’s North-South
contest iln the Orange Bowl to
night.
The bowl-game-with-a-purpose
——proceeds are for charity—
brought together some of the best
names in college football. The
South squad, with Andy Gustafson
of the University of Miami the
coach, drew heavily on Baylor and
reached as far as Southern Cali
fornia for one player.
Fifty thousand spectators are
expected. The kickoff is 8:15 p.
m. (Eastern Standard Time).
Yale’s coach Herman Hickman,
mentor of the North squad, will
use several Notre Dame players.
Hickman builf up a team of
huge, hard-hitting linesmen and
a corps of fleet backs. His start
ing line will average 225 pounds.
The North squad outweighs the
South, but Gustafson said he isn’t
worried. He declared his South
squad Is faster.
The game will be a test of
coaching skill, for the players
have worked together only a week
and were fitted together some
what like a jigsaw puzzle.

Rose Bowlers
Take Day Off
On Christmas
PASADENA, Calif, — (AP) —
Peace and calm was the theme
yesterday as the Ohio State foot
ball team spent an uneventful day
before resuming its practice
chores for its Rose Bowl engage
ment with California.
Coach Wesley Fesler gave the
players the day off, as far as foot
ball was concerned.
California’s Golden Bears draw
close to the Rose Bowl front today
deserting the Berkeley campus to
take up quarters for this final
week at nearby Riverside. The
Bears trained there for their Rose
Bowl tilt with Northwestern last
New VYear's. :
Each squad lists several injured
players, but none of the key men
counted on for duty has suffered
mishap since they got down to
drills on California soll a week
ago.
Fesler plans one more rugged
scrimmage, comparable to the
single rough one the Buckeyes
staged last week, but he may
change tactics and order still an
other such one if the team siacks
down.
Coach Lynn Waldorf believes in
more frequent fare of heavy con
tact, so the Bears are set for a
heavy week as they polish up their
game.

ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26—(AP)—
North Carolina’s Cotton Bowl foot
ball party, which takes off Wed
nesday, will be so big that it will
overflow the chartered plane.
There will be 84 “official” travel
ers, including the wives of players
and some 20 newspapermen . . .
Louisiana State’s Ebert Van Bu- |
ren, Steve’s kid brother, who may l
turn out to be .a better all-arcund
player than the Philly Eagles’ star,
likely will see only defense duty
against Oklahoma in the Sugar
Bowl. An expert line-backer,
Ebert requested duty “wherever I
can do the best job for the team.”
« + « During a California practice
session, tackle Jim “Truck” Cul
lom made a mistake . . . Coach
Lynn Waldorf pointed out the er
ror and sent in Herb Schmalen
berger to do it right. Herb made
exactly the same mistake . . . As
Waldorf was about to blow a
valve, Cullom soothed him: “Heck,
pappy, the kid can’t help it if he
has a bad case of hero worship.” |
TEACHER’S PESTS
Lou Watson, Indiana U. Basket
ball guard, is doing his practice
teaching in a physical education*
course at the University High
School . . . One day recently he
gave his pupils a long session on
foul-shooting, with personal exhi
bitions from the free-throw line
. « « The evening after Lou’s final
Iscturs, the Indianz varsity nlaved
a game and waison imissed six of |
seven foul chances . . . Needless to l
gsy, the pupils all reminded him
the next morning that they had
been there. |

Bowl Fever To Start
Tonight: Ends Jan. 7
&
onight; Etnds Jan.
BY MURRAY ROSE
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.— (AP) —Football starts on its
final binge in Miami tonight and before the last whistle is
blown on January 7, a record total of 650,000 fans will
have paid $2,545,800 for 17 bowl games.
No national championships will
be at stake—not with Notre Dame
and Army, the Ne. 1 and No. 4
teams of the nation, enjoying a
restful holiday—but most of the
major bowls should give the fans
good, close contests to go with the
sunshine.
The majority of last season’s
bowl tilts wound up with the win
ners holding only narrow point‘
margins. And, judging from the!
quotations offered by the book
makers and the records of the con-l
testing elevens, this will be the
case again.
Take the major affairs listed for
Jan. 2 as examples.
Maryland (7-1-0) and Missouri
(7-3-0) are rated even for the
Gator show in Jacksonville. A
crowd of 36,000 will pay $130,000
for that game.
Kenutcky (9-2-0) is gquoted a
three-point choice over Santa
Clara (7-2-1) in Miami'’s Orange
Bowl, where 65,000 fans will con
tribute to a gross gate of $350,000.
California’s all - conquering
Bears (10-0-0) are favored by six‘
markers to down Ohio State’s
(6-1-2) Big Ten co-champions.
The Pasadena extravaganza, in
augurator of all this post-season
madness, will pack in 103,000 cus
tomers and collect $450,000.
Oklahoma (10-0-0), No. 2 eleven
of the nation, is listed at only 7%
points over Louisiana State (8-2-
0) for the New Orleans Sugar
Bowl. LSU is tough in its home
lState. The sugar will flow into
{ the bowl, $400,000 worth, on 83,000

Rice (9-1-0) has the distinctionl
of holding the biggest odds bulge,
the Owls are rated eight points
over North Carolina (7-3-0) for
the Cotton Bowl game in Dallas.
This affair will lure the third
largest crowd and gate, 75,500 and
$348,000. ]
With the exception of the Hono
lulu Pineapple Bowi game, where
Stanford (6-3-1) shouldn’t have
any trouble with Hawaii (8-2-0),
the rest of the games should pro- |
duce sizzlers right down the line.
That especially holds good for
the various games featuring all
star teams of seniors. A standout
performance by any of the pub
licized herces will mean more
money when it comes time to
dicker with the professional clubs.
The post-season festivities will
be launched in Miami, Fla.,, to
night with the Shrine North-South
All-Star senior game. A crowd of
40,000 is expected to gather in the
Orange Bowl to see it. A gate of
$120,000 is expected.
PICASSO PLAYING CARD
LEEDS, England—(AP)—A new

Picasso is on the back of a play
ing card. The local company he
designed the card for (John Wad
dington, Ltd.) is pushing sales to
the United States in line with this
country’s dollar exnort drive.
Picasso's card is described as
showing a lobster and something
like a Chinese Lantern. The artist
has signed the design.

The University of Georgia has
added another outstanding prep
star from the State to play foot
ball for the Bulldogs.

dogs is Hurley Jones, jr., a fine
center prospect who played this
geason with GMC, and was a

Playing for Jesup, he made the
All-South Georgia selections in
his senior year, 1948, and played
in the North-South all-star game
in Atlanta this summer.
Going to GMC after hig grad
uation from Jesup, Jones was 2
choice for All-State junior col
lege honors for his play at cen
ter.
The Jesup preoduct is a very
fast man, an excellent punter,
and is also a track standout. Be
sides his athletic prowess, Jones
is a scholastic leader and was
too mran for his class at GMC.
He will enter the University in
January, Athletic Director and
Head Coach Wallace Butts an

NEW YORK—(AP)—New York
University, which back in the ’3o’s
was one of the most powerful
football schools in the country,

The Violets, who have been
