That's the report of the NCAA Television Committee, which controls all TV games. The fare for this season is pretty much the same as last year, ejecept there will be no more "black out" Saturdays when there is no game at all. The NCAA made it plain it considers the thousands of dol lars it will get from a sponsor small change compared to the millions of dollars it can col lect from viewers. Further more, the NCAA said, it will take only about three years to start collecting from the man in the living room chair. These millions of dollars would be divided up among the 280 member colleges no mat ter which teams are playing the TV game. The NCAA will permit one 1952 game- to be televl.ed in each city each week. It will sell the whole business to a sponsor, and he decides which game will be televised. consin 28, Wyoming 4. Harriman 95' .4 Idaho New York 90, North Carolina 1, Pennsylvania 4.

Truck Drivers Armed Previous attacks in Illinois oc curred near Lincoln Sunday, and outside Plainfield last Thursday. In these incidents, the gunman fired as his car sped by the other motorists' vehicles. One man was hurt at Plain field by flying lead fragments. The nocturnal carryings-on of Ohio's "phantom of. Route 40" reached such proportions that many truck drivers armed them selves and police were assigned to patrol the route. Despite his frightening appear ance, the phantom never caused any serious accidents.
