1 Sports Attack By Educators Is Making Little Progress St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 10 (U.R) Educators' attempts to curb "super-sports schools" and the "commercialization" of intercol legiate athletics appeared to be making little headway today at the National Collegiate Athletic association convention. The general consensus among the hundreds of coaches and athletic directors at the meetings was that post-season bowl games, "player scouting" and the de velopment of big-name college teams would continue to boom during the postwar years. Colleges Plan Role Many of the college leaders, off the record, said their schools planned to play a role in the boom. After hearing two college presidents blast the "overpaid athlete" and "commercializa tion" of present-day sports, the N.CA.A. convention went right ahead today with its business session, election of officers and the football coaches' reports. Dr. John A. Hannah of Michi gan State and Dr. T. J. Davies of Colorado college rapped New Year's day bowl games in speeches yesterday and Hannah warned that "trouble lies ahead for certain colleges which due IN-ST GdH itl, .RY-PACKEO sugar IFj MOISTURE- RESISTANT CARTONS il..r GRANULATED ' I v.

No athlete be given a Job for which value is not received. 4. No scholarship be continued for a student failing to meet academic requirements.
