Ivy League Re
Gains NCAA i
By The Associated Press
Ivy League participation in the
NCAA basketball tournament was
approved provincially yesterday
after conference officials reversed
their initial stand on the academic
requirement set by the NCAA.
Members of the NCAA must ac-
cept the minimum grade standard
of 1.6, based on a 4.0 scale, for
their athletes to compete in all
NCAA-sponsored athletic events.
The Ivy League schools had ex-
pressed opposition to the 1.6 level
on the grounds that no outside
agency should determine standards
for a school.
NCAA officials said yesterday,
however, that a majority of its
member schools, including the Ivy
Leaguers, had complied with the
grade requirement.
The list of complying members
stood yesterday at 444, or 77.7 per
cent. "The total active membership
is 571.
of the 444, some 20 colleges and
universities are on a provisional
basis pending a final tally, 28 are
still corresponding, and 99 def-
initely are not in compliance. The
deadline for acceptance is the end
of this week.

St. John's, which won the tour-

present to its retiring coach, Joe
Lapchick, has a 17-5 won-lost
record with three more to play.
Boston College, coached by for-'

The
Margin for Error
Gil Saniberg
Now that the weatherman seems to have misplaced 12 feet
of snow and the football season appears to be over (you never
can tell . . . about either), the eventual arrival of spring is almost
assured this year.
Ah sprig! Besides colds, hay fever, term papers, and finals,
we find something else due-training. That's for baseball, not
combat. You remember baseball-that leizurely, pacific game
where batman meets batboy to plan the downfall of an arch
opponent? Given that basic insight into the essence of the sport,
I feel it is now possible to impart further instruction, this time
on a specific group of participants, a group that has made base-
ball worth watching again.
This is the first half of a rationale for the team which might
have been created for THE MARGIN, the team which best
embodies its spirit. You could call it:
The New York Mets
And How They Grew
OR:
How 8,000,000 People Learned To Stop
Yawning and Love a Bomb
PART THE FIRST: "Prehistoric"
OK. Let's get right down to it. This story is complicated, ridicu-
lous, and, in the words of the Ol' Perfesser (now retired with a broken
ego), "amazin'."
Well, let's put it this way. What twentieth place team in the
history of sport (and this includes dragon-slaying) could afford to
have carpetting under the heavy feet of a bunch of world-beaters
whose greatest talent lay in snatching defeat out of the jaws of
victory in more ways than three separate books have thus far
enumerated?
Yeah, but in the locker room?
They took the oldest cast-of fs around, fellas who had seen better
days-some of them glory days-but whose talents were not con-
sidered valuable enough to pay for any longer. These were veterans,
gnarled and tough. But their former employers figured that the
years had piled too high to hope that a toll hadn't been taken in
steps, in percentages, in spirit.
And so they had been shipped out with generous, if strained,
farewells after being told that they were just not adept enough at
their old jobs anymore.
Before anyone starts bowing let me make it clear that this
was only the management. The ballplayers, even compared to
the Mets staff, were something else again. Because, remember, it
was this group of coaches, managers, general managers, and
Janitors that had to pick the first bunch of "professionals" out
of the dirtiest, low-down, rotten grab-bag set up in the annils
of business.
"When we started with all the good(smile) players we bought
for $600,000," said Stengel recently, "we had to teach men how to
bend over. We did that 15 minutes a day . . . and for three days
they couldn't walk."
Anecdotes? That's what the Mets were, a series guaranteeing
a minimum of 162 sure-to-roll-em-in-the-aisles-and-make-em-
wanna-see-if-they're-for-real stories per year. It was what Wally
Weber probably figures Heaven is like.
Did you ever hear the one about the third baseman who couldn't
hit, run, or field, and then switched leagues to become an All-Star
second sacker with a bat so hot that his only problem was that the
ball tended to fuse to it?
Did you ever hear the one about the first baseman who made
a diving catch on a towering fly which the wind had carried, smashing
into the right field wall (this and many other physically impossible
feats were possible in the Polo Grounds) hard enough to dent it and
immediately afterwards took a token pick-off lob to first (and this
you can't even chalk up to the Polo Grounds) and booted it around
long enough for the runner to score standing?
The legend of Mary Throneberry will live on as long as there
is an error or a bonehead play left in the game. The Cult of Marvelous
Mary, a semireligious group of antihero worshippers, will be discussed
at a later date (notes need not be taken).
But the aura of "loveableness" was not so easily won. And
it was only loveableness, spelled A T T E N D A N C E with
a capital $, that could possibly have kept a business firm which
employed the likes of Felix Mantilla and Marvelous Mary and
Roger Craig, the finest 20-game loser in baseball, from going
bankrupt before that first nuttsy year-1962-was over ...
And what exactly did the Mets have?
They had New York City and it was 1962. The Dodgers were
gone. The Giants were gone. Ebbets Field was gone. The Polo
Grounds was going back to what its creators had built it for.
Walter O'Mally was gon'e. (On second thought, forget about O'Mally.
He doesn't fit in with a heavy emotional appeal like this.)
And across the river the Yankees carried on with their
criminal activities. For the first time in history a team had to
appologize for winning. The poor Bombers just couldn't seem

to break the habit, and they were crucified for it by a corps of
blase sportwriters who had run out of mixed metaphors and
pedantic platitudes to sling at the public. The "boys" couldn't
come up with that "wise saying" for the morning addition
any more.
In the end the guys in pin stripe fooled them all. Because while
no one was looking they were changing. And after 1961, when they
carried the greatest 1-2 punch baseball had ever seen, the Bombers
were winning on not more than a few things: tradition, Mickey
Mantle, Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle, reputation, Mickey Mantle, and
finally Mel Stottlemyre ... and Mickey Mantle.
Last year Mantle wasn't in good enough physical shape to get
into the Cub Scouts. The Yanks came apart.
And so the Mets ...

Koufax Wants Raise
LOS ANGELES - Southpaw
Koufax said yesterday that he
and fellow pitcher Don Drysdale
are going as a 50-50 team in their
salary demands from the cham-
pion Los Angeles Dodgers.
Koufax, as was the case with
Drysdale, politely declined to men-
tion the amount of money sought,
reportedly a million dollars be-
tween them on a three-year con-
tract.
Vice President E. J. (Buzzie)
Bavasi, who is handling the dis-
pute, said he plans to meet with
his star hurlers Thursday, and
added:
"If they are serious in their
demands, and I have no reason to
believe they aren't, I doubt that
they will be on the plane to train-
ing camp at Vero Beach Satur-
day."
Koufax won 26 games and
Drysdale 23 in 1965. Drysdale re-
portedly was paid $75,000 and
Kouf ax $74,000.

Lawrence Hoffman, an attorney
for Sonji Clay, said he might also
try to get Clay's $8,000 wardrobe.
The combined revenue would go
a long way toward meeting the
$22,500 fee Clay was ordered to
pay when he won the divorce.
"He won't need them if he's
going to the Army anyway," Hoff-
man said.
