Video Football
Changes Set
Chicago U.R) A radical
ly changed plan which would
permite more college football
on telivision next fall will be
submitted to the National Col
legiate Athletic association for
approval next week.
The program devised by the
television committee will call
for:
1. Television of games on only
10 days.
2. Games on a national net
work on five days and on a re
gional net on five days.
3. Division of the nation into
three regions, the East, includ
ing the southeastern states; the
Midwest, including Texas, Ok
lahoma and Kansas; and the
West, including the Pacific
Coast and Rocky Mountain
states.
4. Free negotiation by schools
and-or conferences to sell video
rights.
The last provision would take
the NCAA out of football tele
vision completely except for pre
paration of a plan for video each
year or eventually on a perman
ent basis.
Sales, Gasoline Taxes
Top Sources of Revenue
Chicago (U.R) Sales or gaso
line taxes were the greatest sin
gle source o revenue for three
fourths cf the states in 1954,
Commerce Clearing House re
ports. Twenty-two states relied on
sales and use taxes for the big
gest fraction of their total tax
collections. Thirteen others de
pended most on gasoline taxes.
In 10 other states, income
taxes were the major revenue
producers. Severance taxes top
ped all others in Texas and
Louisiana, and New Jersey's big
gest revenues came from vehicle
license fees.
PU Choice
In Tourney
Milwaukie, Ore. (U.R) Pa
cific University was a slight
favorite today as the four top
small college basketball teams
in Oregon prepared to battle it
out for a berth in the NALA
tournament in Kansas City.
Portland University, the peren
nial winner, decided to forego
thp NAIA this year for a trip to
Mexico City.
Pacific, led by Norm Hubert
and Danney French , finished
second to powerful College of
Idaho in the Northwest Confer
ence. The Badgers play Eastern
Oregon in tonight's first game
at 7:30 p.m., while Portland
State plays Willamette in the
9:15 p.m. clash.
MAILMAN RETIRES
Wolcott, N. Y. (U.R) Mail
man W. Carlyle Harper has re
tired to a life of fishing and
"just tinkering around" after
wearing out 19 automobiles
while driving an estimated 390,
000 miles as a rural deliverer.
On one of his last rounds, the
60-year-old Harper left to each
of his 270 regular customers a
photograph, cf himself and his
wife, who often accompanied
him on the .route. On the back
of each photo was printed a
poem written by Harper.
Frick Launches
Spring Training
Violation Probe
St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R)
Commissioner Ford Frick laun
ched an investigation into al
leged violations of the spring
traning deadlne today with a
promise that "anybody guilty is
going to be punished."

the Detroit Tigers and Brook
lyn Dodgers after announcing
he had fined, the Milwaukee
Braves $500 and 14 players a to
tal of $625 for working out be
fore the March 1 deadline.
"I hold the players and man
agement equally culpable in this
matter," Frick said. "What's
more the commissioner's office
is alert to what.has been going
on. We are going to investigate
a good many camps before this
is over and anybody guilty is
going to be punished."
HERE'S AN IDEA!
Memphis, Tenn. i(U.R) The
man may not have built a better
mousetrap, but he made good
use of one he had. Mrs. K. H.
Snider was seating in a restau
rant when she saw a man pull
a mousetrap from his pocket and
take a bill' from the "folding
money" clipped to the trap to
pay his bill.
