TV Committee
Readies Report
WASHINGTON — </Pi—1The
NCAA's television committee fin
ished its job for 1952 but said noth
ing about the results.
I The committee will present its
yearly report and its recommenda
tions for 1953 at a round-table ses
sion today, but chairman Bob Hall
of Yale isn't talking much until
then.
At a news conference. Hall said
h;s committee had agreed upon a
plan for 1953, that it was con
vinced that controlled football TV
was legal, and that it would wel
come further suggestions from in
1 terested parties on, as he put it,
I "how to live with television.”
I
Enough rumors got out of the
, meeting today to indicate that con
trols of football TV won’t be re
laxed next fall but may be even
i tighter. Surveys by the NCAA
j have shown that even the limited
] amount of football allowed on the
air during the past season caused
i a dip in attendance.
Pitcher Wilhelm
Signs with Giants
NEW YORK (£>> — Relief Artist
Hoyt Wilhelm is the first New
York Giant pitcher to sign his
contract for next season. No fig
ures were announced but he is be
lieved to have accepted a $12,509
salary—nearly double his earnings
in 1952 when he was a rookie.
Wilhelm led the National
League in won and lost percent
age with 15 and 3 and in earned
run average with 2.43 — the first
rookie ever to win both honors.
Leahy Unconcerned ..
SOUTH BEND, Ind. UP)—Coach
Frank Leahy of Notre Dame says
he is perfectly satisfied with the
proposed rules changes affecting
the so-called sucker shift.
Notre Dame has been accused of
using the shift to lure the opposi
, tion into offsides, especially near
the enemy goal line. The football
coaches rules committee recom
mended a change in the rules
v/hjch would outlaw the sucker
' shift.
Leahy said the change would not
eliminate the shift at all at Notre
Dame. It would merely mean
1 changes in the operation of offen
sive line play, concluded Leahy.

Bruin Conch Says
California Center
Outplays Houbregs
LOS ANGELES One of the
nicest compliments you can pay a
basketball center these clays is to
say he’s almost as good as Bob
Houbregs of the University of
Washington.
Another Bob, Bob McKeen of
the University of California team,
has a booster who goes beyond
that. And the booster is the coach
of a rival team, John Wooden of
UCLA.
McKeen is a big reason why
the California Bears defeated
Wooden’s UCLA quintet twice
last weekend. The Bruin coach
regards McKeen as the best cen
ter he has been since coming to
the West Coast some years ago.
And Wooden says:
I think he’s better than Wash
ington’s Bob Houbregs. He has
more moves and he plays better
position.'*
Coach Chuck Finley of the Idaho
basketball team has planned a de
fense against Houbregs but with
out much enthusiasm. Idaho’s Van
dals meet the Washington Huskies
this weekend at Seattle. Coach
Finley glumly says none of his
boys will keep Houbregs from scor
ing, but Dwight Morrison will try,
anyway.
Morrison, a forward, will have
the job of covering —or trying to
cover big Eob. Morrison has an
inch in his favor. He’s 6-foot-8 to
Houbreg’s measly six-seven.

Two Unbeaten
Swimmers Top
Oregon Roster
Yoshinubu Terada, undefeated in
the 150 yard individual medley and
Gordon Edwards, undefeated mid
dle distance swimmer are the top
prospects on this year’s swimming
squad, according to John Bor
chardt, coach.
Edwards, a senior, has not been
beaten in three years of varsity
competition. Last year, he set a
new conference record in the 4-40
by beating Jack Medica's time of
4.48,0 by four seconds.
Lucks Reserve*
Although Oregon is expected to
have a good team, Borchardt fears
lack of reserve strength may hurt
the team's chances during the
course of the season. Failure of
Clarence Kato, Allan Wahinshoua
and Pete Charlton to return to
school was an unexpected blow to
the team's chances.
“Not knowing the strength of
either Washington or WSC teams,
prospects for a good year are un
known”, Borchardt stated. Both of
the Washington teams have had
strong squads in the conference for
the last several years, he said.
MAC Meet Sought
A tentative meet has been sched
uled with Multnomah Athletic club
of Portland for January 24. On
January 31, the team wil partici
pate in the state AAU meet to be
held in Portland.
Returning lettermen include:
Edwards, Terada, Jim Allan, Hen
