Thirteen lettermen are from last year's team which was Big Ten champion indoors and fin- ished in the runnerup spot to Wis- consin in the outdoor meet.

With all these losses Canham1 still feels that Michigan has one of the top three teams in the Big Ten and will be fighting it out with Wisconsin and Michigan State for the conference title a few months from now. Canham's hope are well founded since cap- taining the Wolverines this year will be Olympian Kent Bernard. Bernard, the senior from Trini- dad, will be back to defend the 600-yard indoor and 440-yard out- ':door conference titles he won in 1964. Bernard is regarded as one of the best in the world at his, By The Associated Press CHICAGO-The National Col- legiate Athletic Association took a strong stand on its relations with professional football yester- day and the commissioners of the two major pro leagues immediate- ly issued statements of qualified support. In New York, Pete Rozelle, Na- tional Football League commis- sioner, issued an order to his 14 teams prohibiting them from sign-; ing college players until after the player had completed all his eli- gibility, including post - season bowl games. American Football League Com- missioner Joe Foss praised the NCAA report in Chicago and said he is "confident something can be worked out that will be accept-' able to the NCAA and all con- cerned." The premature signing of play- ers was only one point in the NCAA report, but was the only one on which Foss and Rozelle had statements. The report, prompted by the signing of players before their teams were scheduled to compete in bowl games, calls for an end to the practice of college coaches serving as scouts and agents for the pros. Candidly admitting that per- haps "a couple of hundred assist- ant coaches" throughout the coun- try may be "on the pros' payroll, Corbett submitted a recommen- dation that asked: 1. The draft of the respective Leagues be held after the last NCAA certified post-season game; 2. That the pros do away with : future draft picks: 3. That the pros "insist that no member club under any circum- stances at any time in the future be permitted to sign a college player" before his eligibility has been completed, and 4. That any one having infor- mation regarding violations place such information in the hands of the NCAA. Next Step The recommendation next will go to the NCAA Council, the group's policy-making body, for action and is expected to be pre- sented at the NCAA's 1966 conven- tion. Corbett emphasized, however, that while the NCAA could put no teeth in the proposal until after the next football season, in- dividual colleges can and should take action immediately. Meanwhile, the NCAA-AAU feud over control of amateur sports keeps boiling. The NCAA--back- ing the federation movement in track and field, basketball, base- ball and gymnastics-will take ac- tion today on official restrictions of its members from competition in meets not sanctioned by the federations. Santa's Game The NCAA Extra Events Com- mittee has received application for sanction of a proposed Santa Claus football bowl game in At- lanta for Dec., 1966. The surprise card in this shuf- fle came when Bud Jack of Utah, committee chairman, confirmed that Bill MacPhail, Columbia Broadcasting System vice-presi- dent in charge of sports, had made the presentation of such a game to the Extra Events Com- mittee. Jack tried to explain why this connection had not come out ear- lier. "We felt there are some impli- cations, some complications that we didn't want to talk about un- til it was presented to the NCAA Council," he said. "One concerned the game being played on Christmas Day. The sec- ond concerned a TV network spon- soring a bowl game."

Clay was here to have a physical checkup Wednesday at Boston City hospital, where he under- went a hernia operation Nov. 13, three days before his scheduled title defense against Sonny Liston. Clay said he thinks he is well enough to resume light training but he wants the approval of his surgeon, Dr. William McDermott. He told the newsmen he has "become one of you"-he's going to write about the Chuvalo- Patterson heavyweight for a na- tional magazine next month. He predicted George Chuvalo, a Canadian, will win by a knock- out, "even though he fights like a washerwoman." Patterson, he added "fights like a rabbit." "Who's the greatest, Cassius?" someone asked from the crowd. "I don't talk that way any more," Clay replied. "I don't have to. I'm the champ." * * * MONTICELLO, N.Y. (I)-George Chuvalo, the Canadian heavy- weight who claims he never has been knocked down in a fight or in training, came about as close as possible to being floored Tues- day at this Catskill Mountain re- sort. The first of his sparing partners, Cody Jones of Detroit, landed a good punch just as Chuvalo ap- parently slipped or tripped and the Canadian almost went down. Jones is a former sparring partner of heavyweight champion Cassius Clay. W INTER EEKEND 65 DANCE to THE ROAD RUNNERS LIVE ENTERTAINMENT Thurs., Jan. 1 4 at the SCHWABEN INN 215 S.
