HUMPHRIES HONORED
NCAA 14
DALLAS (AP) - The NCAA, in a sharp departure
from a 32-year policy of tight controls of football
telecasts, announced a plan Monday to let schools
and conferences produce their own Saturday night
television series.
The surprise announcement was made at the
opening session of the annual NCAA convention by
Hugh Hindman, chairman of the Division I foot-
ball television committee. Some viewed it as
possibly the first step in an effort to win support of
a voluntary NCAA television plan pending actions
by the U.S. Supreme Court.
MICHIGAN Athletic Director Don Canham, who
is in: Dallas for the convention, could not be
reached for comment. In the past, however,
Canham has backed the NCAA's right to control.

Monroe, Louisiana.
His widow, Carolyn, accepted the award.
The NCAA Award of Valor is not presented

minimized potential disaster by courageous action
or noteworthy bravery."

DALLAS (AP) - The NCAA opene

indications that a move to shift power tc
a 44-member board of college presiden
ts was losing momentum.
There were reports that backers of
the proposal, number 35 on the agenda
were offering trade-offs to schools op
posed to a measure that would give
Division I-A, the top football schools
nearly complete autonomy.
The major football schools seem to be
the most outspoken critics of number
35, while leading the campaign for a
competing proposal, number 36.
THE UNIVERSITY of Michigan
however, is not going along with the
other major football schools in backing
proposal number 36. Instead, Univer
sity President Harold Shapiro and
Michigan's Faculty Representative to
the NCAA, Paul Gikas, support number
35.
Number 35 would empower a board of
presidents to set policy and make rules
independent of the annual convention.
Subject to an override at the following
year's convention, the board could set
aside any majority vote of the member
schools.

NCAA cony
d Number 36, sponsored by the NCAA
d Council, would create a 44-member
o "presidential commission," which
- could submit legislation, call special
conventions and set the convention
f agenda.
EACH MEASURE would need two-
- thirds approval of the entire NCAA
e membership when it comes up for a
vote on Tuesday.
"Yes, we have had discussions with
e some of the Division II and Division I
people and Division I-A autonomy,"
said a supporter of number 35, which
was written and sponsored by the
American Council on Education. "But
I can assure you, there are no political
virgins on either side of this issue."
. Otis Singletary, president of the
j University of Kentucky and the top of-
ficial of the College Football
Association, downplayed reports that
supporters of number 35 were turning
their attention to the defeat of I-A
autonomy.
"I DON'T THINK there's anything un-
toward going on," Singletary said.
"I've probably done a little politicking
of my own out there in those halls."
Number 35 supporters maintain the

present NCAA structure does not allow
presidents the right forum for effec-
tively dealing with issues. Proponents
of number 36 argue that it is unwise to
place great power in the hands of a few.
The 60 members of the CFA, which
include all the top football powers ex-
cept the Big Ten and the Pac-10 are
reported almost unamimous in support
of number 36.
