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.

meetings. '
The players will have to be

lieve that their actions in Tues

far the most important piece of
legislation passed at these meet
ings." 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.
