ft was a much improved freshman football team that
dumped Grays Harbor 26-6 in an action-packed tussle at Aber
deen, Wash., two weeks ago. and heat the Oregon State Rooks
last week at Corvallis. A squad of .IX players made the trip
to Aberdeen and all saw action at least twice in the game,
providing badly needed experience for the Ducklings.
Although the backfield is not tremendously large and the
line has only fair speed and average weight, the team is well
coordinated and functions as a unit, especially on defense.
Just how many of this year’s freshmen play varsity ball de
pend- a lot on their grades for winter and spring terms. About
20 players have shown potential varsity ability and great
things are expected from them if they “hit the books.”
Cage Season Starts
A 15-game schedule faces the freshman basketball team
starting Jan. 10 with games against independent teams, jun
ior collets and other fresh
men aggregations. The Duck
ling.'1 agenda formerly includ
ed liigli school teams, but the
idea was abandoned when the
high schools could not provide
stiff enough competition.
'I here is no set number of
players on the squad and no
organized league competition,
but the athletic department
trie' to schedule the toughest
teams available to provide ex
perience. On the average only
about eight out of a 25-man
frosh squad will play varsity
ball.
Height seems to be the main
physical characteristic of the

Bowerman Lines Up Squad
Although the sound of churning cleates is somewhat in the !
future, Coach Bill Bowerman is forming an idea about the
personnel of his 1955 track team. Many of the cindernten and
field performers are jumping the gun as far as workouts
are concerned, by taking advantage of a gym course, Deca
thalon and Cross Country. The program i> identical with the
system used in the Olympic games, except that the six field
events and four track races are not completed in two davs,
but arc run over a period of several weeks.
NCAA Criticized
For TV Policies
TAMPA, Fla.-(API-Two prom
inent sports figures attacked
policies of the National Colleg
iate Athletic association Wed
nesday at the Associated Press
Managing Editors association
meeting.
Ed (Moose) Krause, Notre
Dame athletic director, renewed
his criticisms of the NCAA’s
television program and called
for a complete revision.
Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, Kan
sas basketball coach, said an
“enforcer” was needed for the
rules governing subsidization and
proselyting and urged the press
to take an active role as a
watchdog on NCAA rules.
Krause and Allen appeared
with A1 Lopez, manager of the
Cleveland Indians, on a panel
and told the newsmen how they
would edit sports pages.
Krause said professional foot
ball attendance was up because
of widespread television but he
made it clear Notre Dame did
not intend to pull out of the
NCAA over the matter of tele
vision restrictions.
Allen said "folding; money over
or under the table is the worst
evil in college" and that “the
cause of the lack of enforce
ment is college presidents. They
do not want to surrender power.”
