a .4 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Monday, February 13, 1950 ) . A THE' MICHIGAN 4& w IDAILY ._ - '' Monday, February 13, 1950 *uI I AILYIBLE by pros holmes, sports co-editor THE ANSWER to the age-old female cry, "We want to play with the varsity athletes"-meaning of course they desire that girls be allowed to compete in intercollegiate athletics-seems to have been found in what appears to be a very favorable and practical solution. There is a petition before the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics requesting that another team be added to the list of varsity sports. The new sport, or rather the would-be new VARSITY sport, has .been referred to in the petition as "necking." This sport, of. course, is not new, it has already established itself firmly among sports' lovers in America. That is one of the reasons why there is a strong feeling that this petition will receive the approval of the BCIA. A long training period, expensive equipment, a large coaching staff, difficulty in making up, a schedule, and the other similar problems which usually plague a varsity sport also would seem to be nonexistent in this activity. STILL ANOTHER favorable feature about the Necking team is that it would give an equal opportunity to every person, regardless of height, weight, or muscle power. The team would also, of course, provide athletic diversion for twice as many people as does the ordinary varsity sport, since both men and women would be included. Anticipating the BCIA'c unanimous approval of this petition, scouts were making the rounds of local practice fields over J-Hop weekend. Chief Scout, Pucker-up McCoy, was bursting with enthusiasm over the prospects he had seen around the campus. "Some of those girls," he cried, wiping the lipstick from his forehead, "could take care of anything any other school has to offer. I'm limp. Why if we could get some of them to work on Army's football team next fall that game ud be a pushover for us." OTHER REPORTS were just as favorable and enthusiastic. One young lass, taking advantage of the opportunity to do some scout- ing on her own, could only stare glassy-eyed into space and sigh, "field hockey was never like this!" Everything seems ready to go. The talent is plentiful. Equipment Is available: local merchants report that they have well over 5000 tubes of lipstick and nearly twice that many cartons of Kleenex, with more on the way. Practice fields, though poorly lighted in many cases, appear to be adequate, and the Athletic Office has been flooded with requests to schedule the team. All that's holding things up in the official sanction by the BCIA and the appointment of the coach. Great Sporting Event Ends NAMES .* '7i Records Full As ManyMae By VAN DUZER The greatest sporting event of the half-century took place last weekend. It completely overshadowed such feats as Michigan's 33-1 hockey victory over Michigan Tech, Fon- ley Chuckville's shot-put heave of 61' 12", and the basketball team's rout of Purdue 29-26. * * * THE SCENE of this event, log- ically enough, was the Sports' Building, and was of such scope that it required two nights to han- dle the contestants. More than 4000 sports en- thusiasts participated in the gala spectacle, and as a con- sequence the results are not yet tabulated. Early calculations would seem to indicate that a number of rec- ords, (or was it record numbers), had been set and many others made or topped, This assumption was strictly unofficial, however, as The Daily went to press. Official sanction of these marks is not anticipated, but The Daily will pass on any relevant statistics as soon as they are received. t (Continued from Page 2) MARILYN BEGOLE and Ellis Bernard Treatman, Jr.; Barbara Bell and Billy A.

Opponents maintained it would hamper hitters, who need help as it is, but the idea was! oooh-poohed. * * SOUTH BEND, Ind. - A&P - Frank Leahy, Notre Dame foot- ball coach, predicted today that his team would be "lucky to win one game this season. We lose 23 men from the 1949 squad in- cluding 10 first-stringers," he said. * * * WASHINGTON- A&P -Amer- ica's universities were told today to "get out of big time collegiate football" if they can't comply with the "sanity code." President Karl E. Leib of the National Collegiate Athletic Association said, in an interview, that many schools are "under the mistaken impression they must have a big time foot-3 ball team." "The failure of any school to meet the code's requirements can be laid directly at the university president's door because in reality+ he alone is responsible," Leib con-+ tinued.
