BIG TEN ACTION:
Badgers Top Spartans
By The Associated Press
CHICAGO-The NCAA, openingr
its 56th annual convention, yester-
day was asked by its track coaches
to take the initiative in formation
of a new United States Track and #
Field Federation.
The petition, forwarded to NCAA!
Executive Director Walter Byers,
was another collegiate blow at theS
long established AAU, which has
been under fire by the collegiatet
forces for some time.
Byers, pointing out that the
NCAA already has directed the
special committee to form a Na-
tional Basketball Federation, said
the track coaches' proposal will
go on the convention floor Friday.
It was expected the NCAA's policy-
making council would approve the
track revolt against the AAU just
as it did the basketball bolt.
i Submits Petition
The track petition was sub-
mitted to the NCAA Executive
Committee yesterday by Chick
Werner, Penn State track coach
and president of the National Col-
legiate Track Coaches' Association
(NCTCA). The proposal, adopted
by a 485-7 vote, urges the creatio
of a federation "representative of
all constituent groups interested
in the development of the sport in
the United States and in interna-
tional competition."
Werner emphasized that the
petition contemplated a federation
which would embrace the AAU,
but he stressed that no single
group or organization would con-
trol it.
"It is the conviction of the
NCTCA that national track and
field matters should be determined
by representative thinking and
voting, rather than by AAU dic-
tate," Werner said.
Everybody Represented
The new track federation, Byers
explained, would include represen-
tation from the high schools, col-
leges, armed forces and AAU.
"The track and field develop-
ment is quite similar to that which
took place in basketball," Byers
said. "The NCAA at its meeting
this week will determine what
course the colleges and universities
will follow."
He hinted that the National
Association of Gymnastics Coaches
is preparing to ask for a similar
action in that sport, but no formal
petition has been received yet.
The proposed basketball federa-
tion calls for representation by
five groups-colleges, high schools,
armed forces, YMCA and AAU_
with no two groups, according to
Byers, entitled to exercise control
of the federation.
OAKLAND, Calif.-The Oakland
Tribune said yesterday that Presi-
dent Kennedy has expressed deep
concern over the fight between the
AAU and NCAA. The fight could
affect U.S. performance in future
Olympic Games.
The Tribune said Lawrence
O'Brien, special assistant to the
President, had reported Kennedy's
concern to U.S. Senators Clair En-
gle and Thomas Kuchel of Cali-
fornia, who reported that the
White House advised them it is
delaying decision on a possible
federal investigation until after
Feb. 1.
