Reaves Peters of Kansas City, Mo., executive director of the Big Eight, confirmed that conference faculty directors at their last meeting voted to support the new- ly-formed federations in the fight with the AAU over control of ama- teur athletics in the United States, the Star story said. Ordered Schools The Big Eight officials ordered conference schools and coaches to sever all relations with the AAU. The action amounted to official support for the Basketball Federa- tion of the United State.s, the United States Track and Field Federation and the United States Gymnastics Federation. "The conference, in effect," Peters said, "reaffirmed the stand taken last January when the NCAA voted to support the feder- ation plan. The NCAA requested the action and the Big Eight voted to support the federations, rather than the AAU." ff1 Can't Enter As a result of the vote, no Big Eight conference athlete can enter any AAU or AAU-sanctioned com- petition in basketball, track and field, or gymnastics, Peters said. In addition, all coaches and ad- ministrators must resign their NBA Tean PHILADELPHIA (?)-Philadel- phia will be back in the National Basketball Association for the 1963-64 season, a reliable source disclosed yesterday. The source said Eddie Gottlieb, who sold and transferred the Phil- adelphia Warriors of the NBA to San Francisco for a reported $750,- 000, will own the new Philadelphia team. The team will not be a new franchise, the source said, but one of the present NBA teams. Gott- lieb, presently general manager of the San Francisco team, is at- tempting to keep NBA interest alive this season by promoting a half dozen league doubleheaders here. AAU memberships, AAU commit- tee jobs or AAU offices in any sport, not just the three affected by the federations, Peters added. In Chicago Meanwhile in Chicago, the Ama- teur Athletic Union of the United States officially issued what it said was a final warning yesterday to this country's athletes that they will be ruled ineligible for inter- national competition if they com- pete in federation open meets. It was taken as the AAU's big- gest broadside against the Federa- tion movement support for the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation and encompassing 555 colleges and universities, 300 jun- ior colleges, 50 members of the na- tion track and field association (track clubs) and 17,000 high schools in every state but Texas, which is not a member of the Na- tional Federation of High School Associations. Stalemate Continues The action firmly continues a stalemate between the two fac- tions and imperils the makeup of U. S. teams for the Pan-American Games in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Ap- ril 20-May 5, 1963, and the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. This especially is true in track and field, the strongest of the federation groups which have been organized over the last two years. Others are operative in basketball and gymnastics at the present time. The first major showdown will come in the federation's national cross-country meet at Ohio State Thanksgiving D a y. Currently scheduled the same date is the national AAU harrier meet in Chicago. The AAU says that any athlete competing in the federation meet automatically will make himself ineligible for international compe- tition. Giving the AAU supreme au- thorities in certifying athletes for international competition was ac- tion taken in Belgrade a month ago by the International Amateur Athletic Federation. It barred ath- letes of all its members from par- ticipating in an American track meet not authorized or sanctioned by the AAU. Walter Byers, executive director of the NCAA, said his group will sanction AAU meets. Louis Fisher of High Point, N.C., president of the AAU, and AAU Executive Di- rector Col. Donald F. Hull of New- York said the AAU will not sanc- tion "open" federation meets. Hawks Beat NEW YORK (IP) The Chicago Black Hawks came from behind last night to record their first Na- tional Hockey League victory of the season, defeating the New York Rangers, 5-1. The five goals equaled the Black Hawks' output in three previous games this season. Ron Murphy and Eric Nesteren- ko were the chief tormentors of the disorganized Rangers, each collecting one goal and tw6 as- sists. By DAVE GOOD When Matt Mann II died last August, his name already was im- mortal to everybody connectedI with swimming.K Yesterday the Board of Regents made it official and renamed Var-, sity Pool after the former Mich-t igan coach in honor of the 28I years he spent developing top teams here? Built in '59 Built in 1959, Matt Mann Pool seats about 3500 people. Mann, who was 77 when he suf- fered a fatal heart attack Aug. 4, was one of the best-known and best-liked men in the sport. At Mann's death, Michigan Ath- letic DirectordH.Oh . Fritz)Crisler commented, "He was the greatest coach in the world, but he was even greater as a developer of youth." 16 Titles From 1925 to 1953 Mann coach- ed Michigan teams to 16 Big Ten titles and 13 NCAA champion- ships. After 1926 his teams never finished lower than second in the conference. Coach of the 1952 Olympic Swimming Team, Mann moved to Oklahoma after compulsory re- tirement from Michigan in 1953. His Sooner teams won eight straight Big Eight titles and pro- duced swimmers like freestyler Jeff Farrell, sentimental favorite of the 1960 Olympics after re-.; covery from an appendectomy. Among the stars Mann produced at Michigan was distance free- styler Gus Stager, who succeeded hin as head coach in 1953. Born in Leeds, England, in 1884, Mann began coaching in 1906 at Syracuse. Before moving to Mich- igan he also coached at Harvard, Yale, the New York Athletic Club, the Duluth Boat Club and the Detroit Athletic Club.
