(International) Coast Conference To Seek Regional Grid Television LAST GAME Dave Sparks, outstanding lineman for the Washington Redskins, suf jfered a heart attack and died in a friend's home in Wash jington. Earlier in the day he i played most of the game against the Cleveland Browns !but suffered no injuries and idid not complain of feeling ill after the game. Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) The Pacific Coast Conference plan ned today to seek adoption by the National Collegiate Athletic association of a policy favoring regional televising of football games under national control and supervision. The PCC, in adopting the measure at its winter meeting here yesterday, acted only a day prior to the gathering of the Big Ten in Detroit, where a similar recommendation to the NCAA is expected. The coast conference said it would seek to establish "ground rules" under which schools in various regions would be able to televise their games rather than be forced to accept a single national "Game of the Week." The action followed strong protests from television viewers that they were being forced to watch the "Game of the WeeW on Saturday while games of their local teams were barred under present NCAA regulations. Cassill Chairman By coincidence, Harvey Cas sill, athletic director at Washing ton University and chairman of the television, committee, also is chairman of the NCAA group which will report to thenational body in New York next month. The PCC said that the plan if favored was made up of five points, which were: 1. Any game played in the pe riod preceding Thanksgiving Day would be limited to tele vising on a station or stations located within the region in which that game was played. 2. Colleges would be permit ted to televise their Saturday afternoon football games on the basis of one appearance at home and one away from home. . 3. Colleges would be permit ted to televise their football games across regional lines any time on or after Thanksgiving Day. 4. Additions to this plan that might be advantageous to any of the various regions would be sub ject to the approval of the na tional television committee. 5. Under the plan, the regions would be defined by the NCAA television committee: Pasadena. Calif. ifll.P) The Pacific Coast Conference, in addition to ac tion concerning the televising of foot hall games, came forth yesterday with these other developments: 1. Conference commissioner Victor O. Schmidt was delegated to reauest the NCAA to change its bylaws to per mit tne to start football practice 18 days prior to the first games of the season because of sectional dif ferences in the season. A proposal to eliminate spring practice was slated to come up before the meeting enas tomorrow. 2. The PCC voted to conform to the NCAA pattern of not allowing teams to play post-season games in Hawaii. 3. An unnamed institution was re primanded because of illegal activity of its coach. The activity was not identified, but it was hinted that it dealt with recruiting of players. The school was ordered to correct the practice. Scholarship Legislation 4. A committee was delegated to draw up legislation to protect athletes' scholarships because of problems en countered by attending the Olympic games in Australia during what is the Australian winter. 5. The conference set the date of baseball playoffs between the North em an Southern division champions as May 27 and 28 at the home of the Southerners. A double header would be held May 28, if needed. 6. The PCC spring meeting was set for May 22 at Portland. Ore., with the winter meet scheduled for Dec. 4 at a site not yet selected. 7. A petition presented by . Joe Boss. California wrestler, who want ed his amateur standing restored, was granted. 8. H. P. Everest. PCC publicity head, said the, controversial case of Ronnie Knox, football player who bolted from California to attend UCLA, would not come up - at the Art Luppino Top Rusher, NCAA Shows New York (U.R) Art Lup pino, the Arizona sophomore tailback who completely eclip sed every other player, in scor ing and posted the fourth high est total in major college foot ball history, treated his rivals almost as roughly in ball carry ing statistics, final NCAA Ser vice Bureau figures showed to day. .. - . He reeled off 1,359 yards in 10 games, 277 more than Penn State's 'Lenny Moore made in nine. Army's Tom Bell, with 1,020 yards, was the only other player to hit the 1,000-yard mark in rushing. Luppino's total was the highest ever recorded by a sophomore and the sixth highest on record. . Luppino, of La Jolla, '' Calif ., took the lead in the first week of the . season with a record breaking performance, and held it for all but one week the rest of the campaign. Early in Oc tober, John Bayuk, a sophomore from Colorado, moved ahead, but the next week Luppino was back on top and stayed there. Bayuk finished eighth. Bell Best Average Bell had the best average per play, 10.62 yards a crack on 96 attempts, among the leaders. The only other "first down a shot" carrier' was UCLA's Jim Decker with 10.8 on 47 tries, all the more remarkable since he car ried the ball more often than anyone else, 179 times. Several records were set dur ing the season: Luppino scored 21 touch downs on running plays, a new modern standard surpassing the 19 Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds made in 1950 and San Francis co's Ollie Matson in 1951. Wisconsin's Alan Ameche set two career marks, carrying the ball 673 times, and gaining 3, 212 yards in four seasons. Mat- son had gained 3,166 in three years, and TCU's Lindy Berry had taken part in 563 plays in four. California's Jerry Drew made 283 yards on, 11 carries against Oregon State, for 25.7 a try, a record for 10 or more carries, The : next week, Carroll Hardy of Colorado averaged 23.8 against Kansas State, The old record was 21.2 by Dave Mann of Oregon State in 1951. Utah, Wyoming Skyline Picks' Salt Lake City (U.R) Utah and Wyoming were tagged today as the co-favorites in the much improved Skyline Conference as the 1954-55 basketball season rolled into high gear. Wyoming, with the tallest team ' in the area, and Utah bolstered by a group of attractive transfers, figured to be the powers in the Rockies this win ter, according to the coaches. The conference as a whole however, will be considerably improved over a year ago. Mon tana, Denver and New Mexico all should be stronger than last year while Brigham Young, Col orado A and M and Utah State are building. your toast means most with... . 1 40 nnH'n-rSnn'nn BEARi I u" FIFTH There's no machine-age way to create true bourbon ,- I - N '. . flavor.

He said the action "can well be the means of survival for many clubs in lower minor league categories." Shoulder Large Part , The new agreements compel the major league teams to shoul der a large part of the operating expenses of clubs where they have young players being devel oped. They must pay the club's spring training expenses and a large part; of the 'manager's sal ary. And they must pay heavier prices for players they bring up to the, majors $5-,000 to a Class B club, $4,000 to a Class C club, and $3,000 to a Class D club. Fresco Thompson, farm direc tor of the Brooklyn Dodgers, estimated the new agreements would cost his team $30,000 a year but added, "it will be mon ey well spent." The minor - leagues' plea for an amendment to the major-minor league agreement ; forbidding major league teams to broadcast or telecast their games into a minor league team's territory, was shouted down by the major league owners.
