Recruiting Stops NCAA Officials NEW YORK fAP>—The ques tion that almost smashed up the National Collegiate Athletic Assn, four years ago—recruiting of athletes—isn’t dead yet. It cropped up again Tuesday when the reports of the NCAA vice-presidents to the general convention were made public. For the first time since the ni fated “sanity code” was junked in 1951 to keep the organizations from falling apart, serious ob jections to the current NCAA i regulations were entered. The controversial subject now, i just as it was four years ago, is how far the colleges can go in procuring good athletes and whether the NCAA should try to control these efforts. Although the strictest provi sions of the "sanity code’’ have been eliminated, the NCAA has remained in the enforcement business and its controls have slowly been tightened in recent years.
