WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1968 THE, MICHIGAN DAILY PACM'SIEVEN WEDNT" AY JUAY1,18 H MIHG Nfatly a C*C d hJSL.n7G ' V i 'CAA Fall Workout Dates Placed On11 Agenda By JOEL BLOCK The National Collegiate Athletic Association will decide at its meet- ing in New York today whether or not to retain its 1.6 grade point eligibility rule. "A vote will be taken in the gen- eral body of the NCAA after the Ivy League and other interested groups present their cases," Michi- gan Law Prof. Marcus Plant, Pres- ident of the NCAA, said last night. "When we emerge from today's meeting, we will know whether the 1.6 rule will live in a modified form or else be dead forever," he added. Another major proposal before the body is a substantial 'change in the fall football practice starting dates which the NCAA will set for member institutions. "We will try to equalize the length of pre-season football prac- tices for schools with different semester startig dates and differ- ent schedule starting dates," stated Plant. Also Discuss The NCAA will also discuss whether it will expect conferences to impose ineligibility penalties on individuals when flagrant viola- tions are involved in a case. In the past, "The National Col- legiate Athletic Associations has never extended its penalty inter- ests beyond its member institu- tions," indicated Plant. "Now we are going to decide if the NCAA. i should be interested in the student competitors just as it was interest- ed in penalizing coaches in a case last year." The case Plant was referring to is the Illinois slush fund scandal which resulted in firing of three lini coaches-football coach Pete Elliott, basketball coach Harry Combes, and his assistant Howard Braun. Central Concern The question of a 1.6 grade pont average requirement for ath- letes is of central concern to mem- bers of the Ivy League. When the law was passed, the group as a whole objected because they claim- ed an external body shouldn't be able to rule on academic require- ments. Consequently, the Ivy Group was placed on probation by the NCAA and are still on probation today. This probation has meant that teams from the Ivy League, except for a few cases, were prohibited to Decide on 1.6 Eligibility * * * * * * Indiana Nips Illinois, 61-60 By The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN - Vern Payne's basket with 28 seconds left in over- time gave Indiana to a 61-60 Big Ten basketball victory over Illinois, last night.

MARCUS PLANT from competing in post-season NCAA - sponsored tournaments such as the basketball and swim- ming championships. ' Prof. Plant is also part of the NCAA delegation to the Senatorial commission to mediate the long- standing NCAA-AAU dispute. When informed that its chairman, labor-relations expert Theodore Kheel announced yesterday the panel would make a "morally- binding" decision before Feb. 9, Plant stated last night, "I have not met with Mr. Kheel since last Nov. 10th. I don't know what kind of decision the commissioner will come to." Amateur Feud Nears Climax By The Associated Press NEW YORK-Theodore Kheel, chairman of the special Senate Arbitration Board, promised yes- terday that a decision will be made shortly on the long-simmering AAU-NCAA sports control dispute. "Our finding will be handed down before the first track meet, the Madison Square Garden In- vitational Feb. 9," the New York attorney and widely-know labor negotiator, said. Sparks in the bitter war over control of the nation's amateur sports flew again this week at the annual convention of the National Collegiate Atheletic Association. The Rev. Wilfred H. Crowley, president of the U.S. Track and Field Federation which is chal- lenging the AAU's right to run the, sport in this country, said his group would go to court if the AAU suspended any athletes competing in the Feb. 9 meet, conducted by the USTFF, and drawing many of the top Olympic hopefuls. minutes to enable Illinois to tiethe Mount started practicing early game 55-55 and send it into over- 'last week without the steel liner, time which doctors prescribed after he A basket by Les Busboom and a fractured his right foot in late pair of free throws by Jodie Har- October. i rn pulled th r wsbyJintoa tie.

Small gave K-State a 45-41 lead before Tom Baachk tied it withx two goals for Nebraska. The vic- tory gave K-State a 2-0 league record, tied for first with Kansas, and left Nebraska 0-2. K-State used a zone defense in losing to Nebraska in the Big Eight tourney title game, but came out with a tough man-for-man this time. * , , Oklahoma Triumphs NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma downed Oklahoma State, 61-58, last night in Big Eight basketball, grabbing the lead early in the second half for the first time and hanging on to the end. OU's Joe Holladay hit a driving layup to tie it at 39-all. At the 2-min. mark OU went ahead with a 20-foot jump shot by Steve Ay- ers. Then the Sooners matched every Cowboy point surge with one of their own. The Sooners were unable to get! more than a three-point edge un- til Garfield Heard was fouled on a layup and collected the free throw to make it 58-53. High scorer for the Sooners was Don Sidle, with 16 OSU's Jack Herron had 17. Both teams had three men in double figures. Okla- homa State now is 7-7 for the season and 0-2 in Big Eight play, while OU is 6-7 and 2-0. Wichita Shocks WICHITA, Kan.-Wichita State, !raced to a 45-23 halftime bulge! ' and coasted the rest of the gamej , into an 81-63 Missouri Valley vic- tory over North Texas State last. night. The Shockers hit a torrid 60 per cent from the field the first half, and 48.6 per cent for the contest. North Texas slumped to a 25.8 per cent shooting average the first half, largely because of Wichita's stingy pressing defense. The Eagles picked up their shooting the second half for a} 37 per cent game average, but their leaky full-court defense gave away too many easy Shocker bas-! kets to make any difference in the outcome. Sophomore guard Greg Carney led Wichita with 22 points, aided by teammates Ron Washington with 20. Wichita State is now 2- in con- ference competition, and the Eagles are winless in three starts.

I'll bet you are, you scamp! But I am not one to be harsh with those who forgot we are in a new year, for I myself have long been guilty of the same lapse. In fact, in my senior year at college, I wrote 1873 on my papers until nearly November of 1874! (It turned out, incidentally, not to be such a serious error because, as we all know, 1874 was later repealed by President Chester A. Arthur in a fit of pique over the Black Tom Explosion. And, as we all know, Mr. Arthur later came to regret his hasty action. Who does not recall that famous meeting between Mr. Arthur and Louis Napoleon when Mr. Arthur said, "Lou, I wish I hadn't of repealed 1874:' Whereupon the French emperor made his immortal rejoinder, "Tipi que nous et tyler tu". Well sir, they had many a good laugh about that, as you can imagine.) But I digress. How can we remember to write 1968 on our papers and letters? Well sir, the best way is to find something memorable a bout 1968, something unique to fix it firmly in your mind. Happily, this is very simple be- cause, as we all know. 1968 is the first year in history that is divisible by 2, by a, and by 7. Take a pencil and try it: 1968 divided by 2 is 984; 1968 divided by 5 is 393Y!, 1968 divided by 7 is 2811/,. This mathematical curiosity will not occur again until the year 2079. but we will all be so busy then celebrating the Chester 2. Arthur bi-centenerary that we will scarcely have time to be writing papers and letters and like that. '2L fL 31 - { + 1 ' 11 Big Ten Standings Conference Indiana Ohio State Northwestern Wisconsin.

SPONSORED BY STUDENT FRIENDS OF CITIZENS FOR NEW POLITICS Another clever little trick to fix the year 1968 in your mind is to remember that 1968 spelled backwards is 8691. "Year" spelled backwards is "raey' "Personna" spelled backwards is "Annosrep.' I mention Personna because I am paid to write this column by the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, and they are inclined to withhold my check if I omit to mention their product. Not, mind you, that it is any chore for me to sing the praises of Personna, for it is a seemly blade that shaves you cleanly, a gleaming blade that leaves you beaming, a trouble-free blade that leaves you stubble-free, a match- less blade that leaves you scratchless. If you are tired of facial slump, if you are fed up with jowl blight, try. Personna today... available both in double-edge style and Injector style. And if I seem a bit excessive in my admira- tion for Personna, I ask you to remember that to me Personna is more than a razor blade; it is also an employer. But I digress. We were speaking of the memorable as- pects of 1968 and high among them, of course, is the fact that in 1968 the entire House of Representatives stands for election. There will, no doubt, be many lively and inter- esting contests, but none, I'll wager, quite so lively and interesting as the one in my own district where the lead- ing candidate is none other than Chester A. Arthur! Mr. Arthur, incidentally, is not the first ex-president to come out of retirement and run for the House of Repre- sentatives. John Quincy Adams was the first. Mr. Adams also holds another distinction: he was the first son of a president ever to serve as president. It is true that Martin Van Buren's son, Walter "Blinky" Van Buren, was at one time offered the nomination for the presidency, but he, alas, had already accepted a bid to become Mad Ludwig of Bavaria. James K. Polk's son, on the other hand, be- came Salmon P. Chase. Millard Fillmore's son went into aluminum siding. This later became known as the Mis- souri Compromise. * *9F I 1995, Max shulman In Missouri, or anywhere else, there is no compromise with quality in Personna or in Personna's partner in shaving pleasure -Burma-Shave.
