KANSAS CITY (A)-Except for
a few minor changes, the NCAA
football television offering next
fall will be the same as in the 1955
season-eight national "game-of-.
the week" telecasts and five dis-
trict showings.
Walter Byers, executive director
of the National Collegiate Athletic
Assn., disclosed the NCAA's 1956
football TV plan t a press con-
ference Thursday.
The plan was advanced by the
association's Television Commit-
tee. It can be considered .final
since the NCAA membership has
accepted the committee's recoin-
Of Roet
PHILADELPHIA (JP) - Robin
Roberts signed a contract Thurs-
day reportedly for a salary in ex-
cess of $50,000, which would place
him among the highest paid pitch-
ers in baseball history.
While neither Roberts nor Club
President Bob Carpenter would
disclose the actual terms of the
one-year pact, a club spokesman
indicated it was in excess of
$50,000.
"We wish it was only that
much," the spokesmani said when
asked about the $50,000 figure.
But pitchers of Roberts' type come
high."
On sth bass of reported salaries
Clveand H al Newhouse r of e
troit, and Bob Lemon of Cleveland,
were supposed to have collected
salaries of $50,000 plus.

mendatlons annually since the
NCAA got into the television busi-
ness in 1951.
Four Dates
The 1956 plan, as last year,
specifies four dates on which the
national telecasts will occur and
leaves additional four dates to be
chosen by the sponsor or sponsors.
"Byers sa the national telecasts
will be handled as a unit by one
carrying network with one game
to be telecast in each TV market
area each date.
The dates set by the NCAA tele-
vision committee are the Satur-
days of Sept. 22, Oct. 6 and Dec.
1, "lu Thanksgiving Day wh
falls on Nov. 22.
For the five Saturdays set aside
for, district telecasting, member
institutions will again be permit-
ted to make their own arrange-
ments, subject to appearance re-
strictions. These allow a member
to appear once on a national tele-
cast and once on a district tele-
cast, or twice on district showings
only.
Ballots on the plan will be mail-
ed NCAA members next Monday
or Tuesday, Byers said, under
terms of a referendum calling for
approval of two-thirds of the in-
stitutions and conferences elig-
ible to vote.

--and the WIHL race Is heading
Into another photo finish.
This weekend's two big hockey
series could go a long way In de-
termining which two of three
teams-Mchigan Michigan Tech
NiCAA playoffs in March.
At Minnesota Tonight
The Wolverines will play the
Gophers in Minneapolis tonight,
while Tech will host North Da-.
kota at Houghton. Colorado Col-
lege is idle.
The' WIHL scramble is one of
the hottest in recent years. There
Is no doubt that Michigan has to
take two games from Minnesota
to stand a good chance of making
the playoffs.
One win and one loss at Minn-
eapolis would throw Colorado and
the Wolverines into a tie in the
standings.
After this weekend, both teams
will have four one-point games
remaining, Colorado plays Denver
and Minnesota twice, while Michi-
gan Tech will have six one-point-
ers left. Rich now the Huskies
seem to be in the most advantag-
eous position.
'li', Tech To Play Four
Michigan and Tech still have
four key contests left with each
other at the beginning of next
month.
The Wolverines, however, can't
afford to look much farther ahead

JOHNNY McCARTAN, star Minnesota goalie, has been perform.-
ing brilliantly this season. McCartan has an average of only 2.7
goals scored against him in 19 league games.

with a fine 2.3 goals allowed per

Minnesota's John McCartan,
however, is also one of the finest
additions to the League this win--
ter, His average is a very respec-
table 2.7, fourth best In WIlI.
MacFarland Leads Scoring
Neither teams have an outstand-
ing scorer this season. Michigan's
offensive attack has spread Itself
out more among the first two
lines.
Bill MacFarland once again Is
leading the Wolverines with 25
points, while Tom Rendall has 19,

LOS ANGELES (A) -- Veteran
track and field expert Dean
Cromwell, who coached the U.S.
Olympic team to victory in the
1948 games at London, is not los-
ing any sleep over the threat of
Russia's athletes in the coming
competition at Melbourne.
,I1l tell you why I am not wor-
ried about the Russians," said
Cromwell, now semiretired. "Rus-
sia competed in the 1912 Olympics
and then let 40 years go by before
showing up again in 1952.
"We all know human nature well
enough to know that when a na-
tion, with the reasons they use,
waits 40 years before entering a
team, they do so with the positive
assurance that they ar going to
evnts.*
Lost at Helsinki

like they did at Helsinki, though I
do believe they will. be harder to
beat and may win a few first
places."
The former University of South-
ern California head track coach
went on to point out that in 1952
Russia had a good sprinter and
good runners in all the distance
races. They had "a splendid high
hurdler who beat everybody in the
world except the three Americans.
"Their 400-meter hurdler was so
good he got second to our Charlie
Moore. Their shotpuitter was the
best in the world outside the Unit-
ed States and he got fourth.
Trained Two Years
"The point that count wit me
for two solid years the Russian
athletes did nothing but prepare
themselves with every available
facility and with splendid coach-.
ing at the games. .
"Helsinki," he went on, "was
only a 200-mile jump across the
warfrm the ORusin border.
Helsinki, more than 4,000 were
from Russia.
"So, with supreme effort and
the do? Their score in mya book
was four seconds and two thirds."

pn'jf e...DAVE STRACK

By JIM VOGT
Bennie Oosterbaan, Vic Heylig-
er, Bill Perigo; these are the Wol-
verine coaches to whom sports-
writers pay most attention, and
who are best known by the aver-
age Michigan sports fan.
But behind the scenes, out of
the limelight of "Coach of the
Year" awards aiid hard won NCAA
championships, are the assistant
coaches and trainers who form
the backbone of Michigan ath-
letics. It is of such a man that
this story is written.
Few of you who read this have
heard of Dave Strack, freshman
basketball coach. Newspaper head-
lines don't scream his name, few
ever mention It.

It wasn't always like that. For
several years between 1942 and
1946, Strack added top-flight sup-
port to the guard and forward
positions of the Michigan basket-
ball team.
In those days the fans knew of
him-cheered him. "He was the
best defensive player we had. We
always assigned him to guard the
other team's top offensive player
-except thes center who was us-
ually too talE for him," maintains
Benniea Oostrbaan, then head
Now back at Michigan after
working two years with a rubber
company, Strack is an ideal ex-
ample of thetraditional "jack of all
trades.'"

Although developing y o un g
players is his chief occupation,
Strack works a great deal In the
ticket office, scouts opposing var-
sities, and does "'A lot of legwork"
for the recruiting program.
Strack is a friendly, clean-cut
sort of person, and is descr bed
as "Sincere, happy-go-lucky, and
quiet," by various associates. He
is 'always "bumming cigarets," ac-
cording to ticket manager Don
Weir.
'B-B Eyes'
His deep-set eyes and accurate
shooting won him the peculiar
nickname "B-B Eyes" while a
student.
One of Strack's bIggest disap-
pointments as a basketball player
came in his last game for Short-
ridge High in the Indiana state
