Bowl Officials Blast
De - Empasis Plan
WASHINGTON, Deec. 14.— (AP) —The men who run
the bowl games and some of the men. who direct college
athletic programs let it be known today they don’t think
much of a foothall de-emphasis program laid down by ten
college presidents. o’ s
The presidents, members of a
special committee set up by the
American Council of Education, to
study what's wrong with college
sports, recommended these strong
measures:
Three Items
1. Abolition of all bowl games.
2. Barring of freshmen from
varsity sports.
8. Refusing alumni and other
boester groups permission to give
scholarships directly to athletes.
Three hours after the president’s
program was announced yecster
day, Southeastern Conference ath
letic directors, in session at New
Orleans, voted almost unanimously
to tell the college presidents to
keep their hands off the bowl
policies of that conference.
Representatives of the Rose,
Cotton and Orange Bowls ques
tioned, in varying degrees, the wis
dom or necessity for the presi
dents’ anti-bowl proposal. A
Shrine Bowl representative said
he was sure they weren’t after this
charity game. No one commented
fo~ the Sugar Bowl.
Perhaps the most interesting
feature of their recommendation
was the methed suggested for en
foreing their proposals, which were
set forth by Dr. John Hannah of
Michigan State.
In the past a school which vio
lated athletic restrictions usually
has had to answer to some con
ference or the National Collegiate
Athletie Association (NCAA).
Bowl Question Now
Before SE(C Heads
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 14.—(AP) —Southeastern Con
ference eollege presidents opened deliberations today on
the bowl question—whether to join pro-bowlers of their
own athletic staffs or anti-bowlers of the American Edu
cation Council. : B
The position they take may not
be known until noon tomorrow at'
the end of the annual Southeast
ern meeting. The general opinion
at the SEC meetig now is that no
changes will be made.
Proper Bowls
The SBEC says In effect that any
team in the 12-member organiza
tion eamn play in any bowl it
chooses if that bowl properly splits
tickets and divides the cash ac
cording to the NCAA bowl regu
lation.
During an advisory meeting of
head coaches and athletic directors
yesterday, athietie officials decid
ed almost unanimously to recom
mend that presidents not tamper
with the liberal bowl rules.
Almost simultaneously a com
mittee of the American Education
Council was announcing in Wash
ington that it would recommend
abolishing bowls and not allowing
freshmen to play on varsity teams.
Dr. Fred Mitchell, Mississippi
sState College and Southeastern
Conference president, said coaches
and directors decided to recom
mend that freshmen be allowed on
varsity squads for another year.
The year would begin Sept. 1
1962.

Under the presidents’ proposal,
Dr. Hannah said, “reasonable ath
letic behavior” would be consid
ered a part of the school’s acade
,mic setup. If a school got out of
bounds, he said, it would jeopar
dize its academic standing.
The council has no power to in
fluence a decision, but Hannah
said its prestige is so great that
anything it decides has signifi
cance for educators. Almost all
colleges and universities, and lead
ing educational associations, be
long to the council.
Hannah seemed to think the
plan would be accepted.
Lathrop A. Leishman, chairman
of the Rose Bowl Football Com=-
mittee, said the proposal “won’t
cure the evils in college athletics.”
. Howard Grubb, secretary of the
Cotton Bowl, agreed that steps
should be taken to eliminate pres
sures created by bowl games.
Grubb Statement
But, Grubb added, the South
west Conference, of which he is
also secretary, “wouldn’t be spon
soring the Cotton Bowl if he did
not think bowl games were all
right.”
Stuart W. Patton, president of
the Orange Bowl, suggested that
each school make its own decision
on bowl games.
“I don’t see how the participa
tion of eight teams in four major
bowls out of a total of over 600
college football teams constitutes
an evil,” Patton said. |
BY STERLING SLAPPEY
If the Education Council adopts
recommendations of its committee
legarding bowls, the Southeastern
could be expected to call another
meeting within the next six
months to make further bowl
plans.
Three Southeastern teams will
play in bowls next month—Tenn- 1
essee in New Orleans’ Sugar Bowl,
Georgia Tech in Miami’s Orange
Bowl, and Kentucky in Dallas’
Cotton Bowl.
A pro-bowl vote from South
eastern presidents would be no
surprise here despite Education
Council action. The Southeastern
is the No. 1 bowl league in foot
ball, supplying an average of two
teams annually to New Year’s Day
classics.
Discusses Scholarships
At yesterday's executive session,
athletic officials, with six presi
dents sitting in, discussed reducing
‘the number of scholarships at SEC
schools from the present 140 to
120 or 125; limiting spring practice
to 30 calendar days or 30 working
days, and the advisibiilty of boost
ing a bowl team’s donation to the
conference treasury from the pre
‘sent 25 per cent of bowl revenue
to 40 per cent.
The 40 per cent would be count
ed off after expenses of playing in
the bowl are deducted.
In the past two weeks numerous
Southeastern presidents have pub
licly said they favor bowls and
see no great harm in them,

Loyola’s Klosterman
Sets 8 Pass Records
NEW YORK, Dec. 14— (AP)—Don Klosterman, Loy
ola’s one-man bombing squadron, topped the nation’s col
lege passers during the past football season and set eight
records in the process.
The 21-year-old senior at the
Los Angeles University threw 315
times and completed 159 in nine
games. This broke records for both
the number of tosses and for com
pletions,
Klgsty ought to get the junior
achievement award for his in
dustry in Loyola's game with Flor
ida on Oct. 6, All Don did that
day was to pitch 63 times, complete
33 and gain 372 yards, breaking
records for one game on all three
counts. Loyola lost that game, in
cidentally, 40-7.
Other 3 Records
{is other three records are for
attemps in a college career, 729;
completions in a college career,
368; and yards per game in a col
lege career, 160.
Final figures released today by
the National Collegiate Athletic
Bureau also showed that Kloster
man piled up the most yardage by
passes, 1,843 yards. Losses on a
few attempted runs gave him a
total offense figure of 1,803 yards,
second to Princeton’s Dick Kaz
maier. The Tiger All-America ac=
cumulated 1,827 yards on passes
and runs.
Klosterman'’s average of 204.8
yards per game via aerials also
was a first but no record. That’s
held by Stan Heath who averaged
92928 for Navada’s aerial circus in
1948.

Southern
Conference
Begins Meet
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 14—
The Southern Conference began
its annual meeting here today and
the future of the sprawling 17-
member circuit apparently was
riding on the outcome.
Of major importance was the
possible expulsion of two mem
bers—the University of Maryland
and Clemson college—ifor defiance
of a ban on post-season football
games approved in September by
member school presidents.
If the Maryland-Clemson ques
tion comes up, there were indica
tions that any action would take
place under the constitution now
in force which allows expulsion
by a simple majority vote.
There also was a controversy|
over whether Maryland and Clem
son actually had violated the\
conference by-laws merely by ac
cepting an invitation to play in a |
bowl game. |
Conference Commissicner Wal
lace Wade said that “some institu
tions might think there is no viola
tion until the game lis actually
played.” And another loop of
ficial declared that “you can’t
charge a man with murder until
he’s committed the murder.” :
Conference approval always has
been required for members to par=-
ticipate in bowl games, but it
heretofore has consisted of the
formality of polling eonference
members after a bid has been ac
cepted,
This year, however, Maryland’s
unbeaten and untied Terps agreed
to play Tennessee in the Sugar
Bowl without polling members.
Athletic director and Head Coach
Jim Tatum said Maryland would |
seek approval at the meeting be
ginning today.
Conference members were poll
ed by Clemson, which agreed to |
play Miami (Fla.) in the Gator
Bowl, When the Tigers were turn
ed down in their poll, they went |
ahead and accepted the invitation |
without approval.
It was believed that a break-up
in the conference is likely, re
gardless of what happens on the
Maryland - Clemson question.
Some members are expected to
withdraw if the two schools are
expelled. And there are others re
ported equally determined to drop '
out if no action is taken.

were shared by Kazmaier and
Kentucky's Babe Parilli. Kaz had
the best passing average, 62.6 per
cent on 77 completions in 123 at
tempts. Klosterman’s average was
only 47.6 per cent.
Kentucky's Deadeye Dick hit for
19 touchdown passes. That gave
him a total of 50 touchdown tos
ses in three years. His total snap
ped the record of 49 hung up by
John Ford of Hardin-Simmons in
four years.
Fewest Interceptions
Southern California’s Dean
Schneider had the fewest passes
intercepted. Only three of 107
passes were stolen. On the other
hand Zeke Bratkowski of Georgia
had 29 passes intercepted, a re
cord for a season. Texas Christian’s
Lindy Berry held the previous
mark with 28 in 1949.
Bratkowski completed 116 pas
seg in 248 tries.

Cats, 61-57
] MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 14—(AP)
! —~Minnesota’s basketball fans have
a new hero today—big Ed Kalafat.
The 19-year old Anaconda,
Mont., sophomore became Min
nesota’s favorite athletic son last
lnight with one of the greatest
point-getting, masketball-hawking
’exhibitions ever seen in Wliliams
Arena as the Gophers upset the
Wildecats of Kentucky, 61-57.
| Kalafat’s 30 points against the
i nation’s number one basketball
' team, plus an almost single-hand
ed control of both backboards,
tearned the 6 feet, 6% inch, 244-
| pound center an ovation at the end
of the game.
‘ But Ed wasn’t alone on the court
' last night. Ambling Chuck Mencel
| kept bringing the ball down the
floor and . starting the Gopher
plays. And Bob Gello constantly
lbothered the vaunted Kentucky
| offense.
All America Bill Spivey, who
sat out the game nursing an in
pured leg, might have provided the
game a different outcome. But
Spivey wasn’t there and Cliff
Hagen found the high-flying Kala
fat too hot to handle and fouled
out early in the third quarter.
Unbeaten Athens High
Cagers Meet Newton (..
BY MERRITT POUND, JR.
Banner-Herald Sports Editor
Perfect records of two
wing apiece go on an un
steady line tonight when the
Athens High Trojans and
Trojanettes step up to the
tipoff with a supposedly
powerful pair of Newton
county hardcourt teams in
Covington.
Coach Arnold DeLaPerriere’s
cagemen face their stiffest com
petition to date, against a Ram
squad that is very adept at “ram
ming” home baskets.
Starting Five
DeLaPerriere will probably open
with the usual Athens starting
lineup, senior William Webb and
junior Bebby Wallace at the for
wards, junior and letterman Son
ny Suddath at the pivot position
and junior Bobby Ducan and Larry
Jones at the guards. :
Allan Barber, another junior
player, will more likely see ex=-
tensive duty at guart slot.
The Trojans have defeated Mon
roe and Winder fives handily and
will be up against their first Class
A opposition in Covington.
Likewise, the Trojanettes, still
recuperating from the close and
nerve-racking battle with Winder,
will face a fine Newton sextet,
which is led by one of the outsand
ing feminine forwards in the state,
Several misaps have hampered
the 'Trojanette strength, chief
among them a sprained ankle to
dependable guard, Pat Messer,
Forwards Joan Alewine and Sibyle
Fanning are also on the Trojanette
ailing list and may not see heavy
duty tonight.
Coach Marian Norris’ combo will
be led, offensively, by high-scor
ing forwards Jean Fulcher, Mar
ian Hopkins and Fanning. Alewine
and Betty Ann Conger will bolster
the crop of scoring aces.
Guard Trio
Guards Messer, Janey Mae Co
oley, and Annelle Williams are
the trio that has started the pre
vious two games for the Trojenet-
