PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5,1964 I AU NCAA Stings MSI By The Associated Press NEW YORK-Michigan State was stung yesterday by the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion for "excessive financial aid and recruiting violations." The penalty was a three-year probation by the NCAA, but is suspended and will not have any actual effect on the Spartans' standing unless the school violates any other regulations during a three-year probationary period. Three other schools, Miami (Fla.), Navy and Western State of Colorado, were diso cited for violations by the NCAA's 18-man policy-making council. Only West- rtern State was censured and rep-' rimanded, as both Navy and Miami were given probationary penalties although MSU's was the severest. First Time It was the first time such a suspended sentence ever had been handed down and NCAA executive director Walter Byers explained that this was done because Michi- gan State had corrected the con- dition several years ago. Michigan State's rules violation involved a knotty problem. The I - NCAA Committee on Infractions learned about a year ago that a secret fund had existed through which payments were made to football players for tuition, spend- ing money and for other purposes. Investigation showed the fund had existed for a good many years and that during the 1957-59 period at least 10 football players had re- ceived illegal payments. Duffy to the Rescue Then Coach Hugh (Duffy) Daugherty decided the whole thing was improper, called in the ath- letes and told them the payments* would end in 1959. There was no evidence, Byers said, that anyj university officials knew about the fund.' The suspended sentence, if it is ever imposed, involves being barred from NCAA-sponsored champion- ships and all tournaments co- operating with the collegiate rul- ing body. Miami was placed on probation for one year and barred from par- ticipation in the NCAA basketball tournament and other major tournaments cooperating with the NCAA. The ruling came as a result of a representative of "Miami's ath-' I E , Others for Recruiting Violations letic interests" giving a basket-:strict compliance of all NCAA The right to sanction events U.S. Track and Field Federation, ball, player free room and board rules and regulations did not count has been the hotly-disputed point although it is unlikely. that ath- and paying for the player's air for more with the NCAA council. in the struggle which has con- letes would be disciplined for en- travel for several trips made in 'Gratified' tinued for more than three years. tering as individuals. 1963, the council said.

Weir sees two reasons why the attendance hasn't increased, de- spite the improvement of the team. The first is that there are six home games, and two are on television, thus cutting dras- tsicaly the number of both sea- son ticket holders and those ho <.::;.".a:; { ;::., com e in for an occasional gam e. h "heHomecoming game against Minnesota and the Illinois game are naturals for attendance," Weir says. DON WEIR Alumni like to come back for the homecoming festivities, and the Illinois game is a great rivalry. But when both of those are on TV, it really hurts the attendance." Weir went on to say that people seem to have grown accustomed to watching games on TV, and have faded in their loyalties to the teams that they travel to see in person. Weir also pointed to the Detroit newspaper strike as a deter- rent to the attendance. "I'm convinced that the strike has hurt our attendance," he says. The ticket manager, who also serves as the Athletic Department's business manager, went on to explain that he feels there is a satura- tion point in the number of fans you can draw from this area. But newspapers give the team publicity, especially when it's winning, and this helps to attract more fans from other areas. The Detroit strike has hurt the number of mail orders the ticket office has been re- ceiving from the metropolitan Detroit area. Weir isn't too worried about the situation, and he already envisions a huge increase in attendance for next year. "The fans will begin ordering more season tickets because they know that we have two sellouts here next year (referring to the Michigan State and Ohio State contests) and they don't want to miss them. "This year's football team is paving the way for next year's attendance, also. There seems to be a one-year delay in the fans responding to a winning club." i' 4 4 I ii! f iii I I 4 I amammmmminuummmim mmmmnalum=Ai0 N mm INm I NM. 'i 1'L~ i __ _ - I j i what's a Shirt?

'Wouldn't Trade Him' Of Twilley, who has caught 57' passes and scored eight touch- downs, Rhome says, "I wouldn't1 trade him for anybody. He hasI great timing. I don't believe he's missed four passes all year that he's been close to." Rhome generally manages to get most of his passes close to Twilley and tightendnMark Maddox. Out of 204 thrown this season, he's only had four intercepted. If you have patriotic school spirit and want to see Michigan go to the Rose Bowl don't pick Ohio State or Purdue to win this week- end. If you pick the rest of the games correctly you can still have a chance to win two free tickets to the Michigan Theatre to see Fate Is The Hunter, and a shot at the grand prize at the end of the season.
