TV Hassle Brings Hof Blast at PCC LANCASTER. Pa. (API—The Pacific Coast conference and Big Ten Tuesday were branded as “selfish" in their approach to the solution of the college football television problem. J. Shober Barr, a member of the 1955 NCAA-TV committee, said the Coast Conference’s plan of regionalized TV with unlimited night game video would force many colleges to 'abandon the grid sport. Barr, director of athletics at Franklin and Marshall college here, lashed out at the opponents of the NCAA's Game of the Week TV program in a state ment released to newsmen. His blast followed the PCC ultima tum of regional telecasts or nothing. Barr branded “the PCC and Big Ten proposals of regional telecasta as “selfish in their ap proach to the* solution of the problem and having no concern for the hundreds of independent and small colleges and universi ties throughout the country and particularly those in their own areas." Barr said the NCAA’s latest stand favoring a TV program similar to the Game of the Week show of last year, or a "liberal izing of that plan which yeas supported by the Eastern College Athletic conference members" was a declaration toward saving college football on many cam puses for the next few years.

PCC' President ‘Shocked’ Professor Emmett Moore of Washington State college, presi dent of the Pacific Coast con ference, said at Pullman, Wash., he was “shocked and surprised” by the statement. “He is taking a very radical stand,” Moore said when ad vised on Barr’s comments. “We’re not out to disregard anyone and we reeognize the small schools as an integral part of the athletic picture. After all, Washington State is a little fellow.’ ” Moore defended the PCC posi tion on TV and said the Coast conference, with nine jpember schools, is actually a minority in the NCAA’s district eight which comprises some 40 institutions. He said the smaller schools have one vote at the NCAA meetings just as the larger schools do and can outvote them on issues. “YVe have to protect our own gate receipts,” he said. In Los Angeles, Victor O. Schmidt, commissioner of the Pacific Coast confreence, had this comment: ‘‘The PCC is urging the reten tion of national control with at least a substantial amount of re gional television. We sincerely believe such a program is best suited to the attainment of a proper balance between the legi timate interests of member in stitutions, of the different geog raphical regions of the country and of the television public.” Campbell Clubbers Romp to B Victory Round one of intramural B league basketball concluded Tues day with easy wins for three teams, a pair of tight games and a forfeit victory.

(API — j Scholars checking up on the University of Maryland said they found a football player there in 1953 who still was a junior in his fifth year at school. The player wasn't named. He was merely “case 16” In a study of academic standards made by the Middle States association of Colleges. Its report said Maryland doubtless had violated rules of the Atlantic Coast Conference and the National Collegiate Ath letic association on eligibility and recruiting of football players. “Case 16” was cited as not nec essarily typical but as part of the documentation of the 1953 study on academic standards at Mary land. “Case 16" was eligible for foot bal lin 1955 only because he had dropped off the squad for a year. He came from outside Mary land. He had an IQ of 85. At the time of the survey, he had spent more than four years with grades ranging from 1.1 to 1.7 on the i to 4 grading scale. He had re peated several courses in efforts to obtain a satisfactory grade, including courses such as “sports skills.” He had taken “tennis” and “golf" in summer sessions. He was admitted to the uni versity's unique college of “special and continuation studies” in September 1949, al though he ranked just above the bottom third of his high school class, 75th of 114. His first year average was 1.6, second year 1.5, third year 1.1 and fourth year 1.7. GIANT WATER SLIDE CAMPFIRE NIGHTS WED. & THURS.
