Change the Regulations
If the sending of a group of boys to the East-West football game
In San Francisco constitutes a violation of the Oregon School Acti
vities association regulations, then something should be done to
take some of the stiff-necked attitude out of the rules. The ruling
came up when Tom Pigott, secretary of the OSAA stated that the
Dads club of Grant high school
spirit of a rule in sponsoring the trip to San Francisco for Coach
Ted Oedahl and his "Generals" The Grant gridders recently won
the state football championship
provide something more realistic
of swiss steak, mashed potatoes and peas.
This Does It
The rule that Pigott claims makes the SF junket illegal
sets forth that "any student who has received any article for
compensation for athletic skill other than the school's athletic
letter or awards given by the OSAA shall be declared inelig
ible." So, those banquets provided by such organizations as
the Salem Breakfast club might he construed as unconstitu
tional. Somebody may go to jail, just by way of indicating
how silly the entire situation is, Piggott points out that the
individual Grant players can foot the expense account. And,
of course, if some father who was unable to finance the pro
ject, should accidentally find a $50 bill in his pocket, every
thing would be entirely legal.
KF Attendance Poor
The recent invitational hoop tournament at Klamath Falls ran
into a lot of competition and as a result fan attendance was on
the poor side. One of the principal detractions for one night was
the presence of "Bump" Elliott, assistant O. S. C. coach in the city.
Christmas shopping was another activity that cut the crowd. All
( told the sponsors, the 20-30 club had rather a rough time of it.
.At, far as the games were concerned, they were, fully up to anti
cipations although Coach Harold Hauk thought the tilt between
his Vikings and the LaGrande Tigers was far from sensational.
Many of the Tigers had little time other than to shuck their foot
ball togs and don their basketball suits before shoving off for
the Klamath country. Then they traveled 500 miles by automobile
to reach the scene.
The Right Attitude
The Viking coach is within his rights in refusing to go in
private automobiles to Klamath Falls for an athletic event.
Any one who has made the trip over the Willamette pass or
any of the other cross-Cascade routes knows that wintry
storms make for dangerous conditions. The Pelicans have al
ways provided first class competition, but there are many
i quints within 75 miles of Salem that would do as well. The
Viking win of Saturday night is the first one we can recall
being chalked up against the Pelicans on the KF courts.
Not a single letterman is available to the Pels this year and
the squad is comprised principally of last year's Jayvees.
That may be another reason for poor attendance.

Combined NCAA,

A combined NCAA-AAU knock

violators so complete as to bar

petition appeared to be brew
ing today.
Dr. Karl Leib of Iowa, NCAA
president, declared at Notre

last night that offenders would
receive sharper sanctions than
expulsion and schedule boy
cotts.
He warned that schools vio
lating the code may also lose
AAU sanction, making their
athletes ineligible for the Olym
pics as well as loss of certifica
tion by scholastic accrediting
agencies.
Leib hinted at more stringent
measures after Avery Brun-

Olympic association, asserted
at the national AAU meeting in
San Francisco that an athlete
who accepts an athletic scholar
ship "professionalizes" himself
and should be barred from mem

Education Schools Form
Five-Team Conference
Portland, Dec. 13 UP) The
long-discussed league for Ore
gon's smaller state colleges is
now a reality the Oregon col
legiate athletic conference, a
five-school circuit.
The three colleges of educa
tion, Vanport of Portland and
Oregon Technical institution of
Klamath Falls, are the members.
It came into being yesterday
in a previously announced
meeting of college officials.
They agreed they wanted to
start at once. So they brush
ed off the technicalities in
volved and decided to let pre
viously scheduled games with
each other count toward the
basketball title this season.
Basketball and football are to
be discussed at a later meeting,
probably in March. At that time
some of the technicalities may
be expected to bob up, such as
the controversy over Round-robin
play and the finer points of
eligibility.
For the time being eligibil
ity is similar to the coast con
ference. In event one team has
not played enough opponents
to warrant a championship,
or in case of a tie, coaches
will meet to decide on the win
ner. Officials agreed a play
off would be best in case of
a tie.
The colleges of education are
Eastern Oregon College of Ed
ucation at LaGrande, Southern
Oregon College of Education at
Ashland and Oregon College of
Education at Monmouth.

Carmel, Calif., Dec. 13 (ff)
The impact of television on the

Its influence on PCC football
was a major factor as faculty

Other important business be

included the problem of alumni

' Conference Commissioner Vic

Schmidt declared the conference
would consider voting on the
proposition that if alumni were
considered guilty of repeated of

such schools would be subject to

"Repeated violations will
