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

to political pressure andor de

themselves to great athletic
teams."
4-Poin Program
Davies recommended a four
point program regarding athletic
scholarships.
1. No scholarship be taken
away from a man who fails to
go out for athletics or play on
the teams.
2. No scholarship be granted
to a man not meeting entrance
requirements.
3. 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.
Davies said such a program
has worked at Colorado college.

LIPSCOMB LOSES
TO HERB PARKS
VIA FOUL ROUTE
Jack (Buck) Lipscomb gave
Herb Parks a thorough going
over in the main event of last
night's battle royal wrestling
card at Medford armory but lost
on a foul when he refused to
heed Referee Wally Moss' re
peated warnings to cease using
the ropes for leverage.
Lipscomb and Parks earned
their main event berth by sur
viving a six-man battle royal,
one of the longest ever held at
the armory, which kept the
crowd on the edge of their seats
most of the time.
Angelo Martinelli was the first
man pinned in the free-for-all
when he was brutally attacked
by Lipscomb. Next out was Earl
Malone, victim of a pile-up by
Pete Belcastro and Parks. Gust
Johnson was next out when
piled by Belcastro and Lipscomb,
who had teamed up and were
cutting a vicious swath through
the contestants. Parks was be
neath a pile composed of Lips
comb and Belcastro but manag
ed to wriggle out with Belcastro
being on the bottom and getting
counted out.
Martinelli won over Malone
on a foul in the second round
when Malone, having the Buck
eve Beauty obviously pinned
picked him up three times for
body slams, choking him each
time.
Belcastro outsmarted Johnson
to win with a Boston crab in
the third round of a rough
match.
