However, my big chance to join many of New York's top reporters in covering the E.C.A.C. Holiday Festival this past Christmas ended up as a dream turned total disappointment. Although the tournament specifically highlighted collegiate cage competition, the manage- ment at MSQG looked upon the members of the student press as a pesty bunch of college punks. While the established reporters followed the red carpet to the press table located adjacent to the playing surface, fellow Dailyreporter Marc Feldman and I were hastily directed to a desolate press level that was high enough up to permit us to bump our heads on the fabled Garden ceiling. From this view- point, the basketball court was the size of a postage stamp. Not only did Marc and I enjoy the privilege of sitting virtual- ly alone at the table, but the Garden went as far as to make us feel like the fans in the stands as we scrambled to find a seat that wasn't saturated with beer slime and peanut shell chips. .. . Finding the excitement at our table unbearable we decided to venture down t the floor table to pick up some of the press releases from the participating schools. It was at that moment we ran across one of the many grouchy Garden SOB's. This decrepit ignoramus refused to recognize our press badges de- fiantly spouting, "You kids get back where you belong". You must realize that was the fool's one chance to play Mr. Powerful and only with the greatest reluctance, he granted Marc and I the one-page scoring 'statistics. However, the classy press books were still off limits. I became obsessed with the hope that some time during the game, some 6-11 center would become enraged and starting beatingup on the 5-4 punk. This release of emotional anguish brought thirst and hunger pains upon us, so we headed towards the press lounge to gorge on some free food and drink. But my eyes set upon the 6-5 Irish giant behind the bar, affectionately known as Henry the bar- tender, and I quickly realized that the nadir of this journalistic experience had arrived. I asked Henry for a beer, but first he wanted to engage in some intelligent conversation. Displaying his pastiest puss, he asked, "Who are you?" I told him I was a reporter from Michigan. This puzzled the big guy, "What's Michigan?" he inquired. Good sense prompted me not to act wise, so I told him Michigan was a university. To the highly-educated Henry, this statement must h a v e struck a sensitive nerve because he glanced towards one of his co-workers and muttered, "You know, I think it would be a good idea if we kept them college kids out of the press lounge next year". Having gotten that Big Henry off his chest, Henry felt like a new man and willingly told me I could get my own beer. How- ever, Henry was far from leaving my life. After watching a doubleheader from the boondocks, my eye sight went on the blink and on the way out I mistakenly took an- other writer's coat that was very similar to my own. After realiz- ing my error, I returned to the Garden the night of the semi- finals and proceeded directly to the press lounge. As soon as sweet Henry discovered my presence, he assumed the role of the all mighty and scorned, "Did you take the wrong coat on Tuesday?" Apologetically, I told him what happened and to my surprise, Henry passed it off as an honest mistake. Un- fortunately, his sermon was not completed. He insisted that al- though my mi'x-up was accidental, it was the rest of us "col- lege kids" that steal the reporters' coats, hats and typewriters. It was quite evident that Henry always wanted to play detective and this was his moment. Turning my small miscue iinto a magnanimous ordeal, Henry immediately phoned the correct owner of the coat, an AP writer from White Plains, New York. Then, satisfied that I had been made miserable enough about the entire matter, Henry allowed me to return to my reporting duties. If things weren't bad enough already, the relationship be- tween Henry and me was to take another turn for the worse. That same evening, I was carrying around a shopping bag with shoes which I bought in the city that afternoon. In the haste to leave the Garden, I forgot the bag and knew that when I returned for the last time on Saturday, he would have a new issue to lecture me on. Sure enough, that Saturday, Henry asked me if I had left some shoes behind and when I responded affirmatively, Henry broke into an obnoxious wide grin because he knew he had gotten the upper hand once again. I was glad this was to be my final encounter with Henry, but gradually I was actually becoming fond of the old fool. Even after I departed the scene, fellow writer John Papanek later related one more incident that revealed another side of happy Henry. First you must understand, that the money Henry earned from his Garden wages was insufficient for survival. During halftime of Michigan's final Garden performance, Papanek sauntered into the press lounge for a bit of refresh- ment. When Henry caught sight of him-long hair and beard- he seeringly bellowed, ."Hey, did you leave a bag of pot here the other night?" "Did you say pot?" Papanek asked the man who looked like Dick Tracy. "Yeah, I said pot. Did you leave some?" "Matter of fact I did," Papanek said, playing into his hands. "Where is it?" "I got it right here, under the bar." "Well, let me have it then." "Fifteen bucks,' said big Henry. Hopefully, the Michigan Wolverines will be invited to the National Invitational Tournament this coming March so I and the rest of the Daily crew can return to New York to pay another visit on the wise and lovable Henry the bartender.

WISCONSIN MISSES BEST SWIMMERS Tanker foes outmanned By CHUCK BLOOM When the government builds its budget without the proper funds to back it up, it is called deficit spending.

Having no academic prob- _____ NCAA By The Associated Press CHICAGO-The National Col- legiate Athletic Association's gov- erning council yesterday imposed penalties for athletic rule infrac- tions on New Mexico State, West- ern Kentucky, Centenary College and Howard University. The committee refrained from acting on court-sheltered South- western Louisiana, also charged with code violations. The council placed New Mexico, State, Western Kentucky and Centenary on two year probation periods in connection with bas- ketball infractions and put How- ard on one-year probation for soccer irregularities. The action came on the eve of the NCAA's 67th annual con- vention, opening Thursday, with a hot battle expected on proposed splitting of the NCAA membership into large and small school di- visions. Warren Brown, the NCAA's as- sistant executive director in charge of infractions, said that the four schools "reprimanded, censured and placed on proba- tion" would begin their penalties effective Tuesday Jan. 16. Although it was expected the council at its session Tuesday would also punish Southwestern Louisiana, whose basketball team is ranked 13th nationally, Brown said the NCAA was powerless to act in the wake of a federal court restraining order obtained by the southern school last weekend. The southern basketball power reportedly has been charged with 126 recruiting violations, but it' appeared the school might weath- er out the current basketball sea- WATCH REPAIR Campus Jewelers 719 N.

Brown said although the re- straining order extends until Mon- day, the council adjourns its cur- rent meeting Sunday and does not have a regular scheduled infrac- tions meeting until April. Brown said there is a possibil- ity of a special meeting but in- dicated that a federal court at Lafayette, La. could issue an ex- tension of the injunction to give Southwestern Louisiana further time to present its case. The punishment of New Mexico State of Las Cruces, N.M. stemmed mainly from irregulari- ties involving two current basket- ball players, one of the nation's leading scorers, John Williamson, and, Roland Grant. Several other athletes and pros- pective athletes also were involv- ed in a series of NCAA charges concerning illegal financial aid and unauthorized transportation. Western Kentucky of Bowling Green, Ky. was cited for im- rools proper academic testing of pros- pective athletes as well as prom- ises of illegal financial aid and transportation and condoning un- authorized basketball tryouts. Centenary of Shreveport, La. was censured for disregard of the NCAA's so-called 1.6 rule of projected academic ability con- cerning five basketball players this season and last season in- clu'ding highly touted Bob Parish, one of the nation's most sought- after prep stars.
