W MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1963 Kennedy Move by Prompts Conciliatory College Association By ALEX KAHN UPI Sports Writer Los Angeles -A'Pll- The lirst dove of peace made a pre liminary pass over the bailie lines between the National Collegiate Athletic association (NCAA) and the Amateur Ath letic union today, prompted by President Kennedy's el forts to settle the fight. The conciliatory move was made by the NCAA at its 57th annual convention. An an nouncement of an exchange of telegrams between the Presi dent and the collegiate group was followed with the state ment that NCAA threats of in eligibilty against athletes would be withdrawn. The convention call had in cluded a proposed amendment to the bylaws under which any athlete who participated in a track and field meet not sanc tioned by the NCAA-sponsored U.S. Track and Field Fed eration would be ineligible for collegiate national cham pionship competition. An NCAA spokesman, after reading the President's tele gram to the convention and the NCAA reply Tuesday, an nounced plans to withdraw the controversial amendment, . which had drawn the fire of the AAU and the apparent re taliatory suspension of Jim Dupree of Southern Illinois university for participating in a track federation open meet. But NCAA stalwarts, in cluding Asa Bushnell, com missioner of the vast Eastern Collegiate Athletic confer ence, were quick to point out the move did not mean the colleges were opening the ' doors for their athletes to com pete in AAU meets, including the big indoor events about to get under way in the East. Bushnell said the ECAC would stand firm behind the track federation until assured the arbitration requested by President Kenndy was certain to take place. Bushnell, how ever, said the boycott of the indoor meets carried no threats of punishment against violators in his conference and was the result of a vote by members. Other major business sched uled at the NCAA conven tion's final session included consideration of reports of committees. In his message to the NCAA, President Kennedy said: "Plans for arbitration -ire progressing. The AAU and the U.S. Track and Field federa tion have agreed to arbitrate. General Douglas MacArthur is ready to begin. Is the NCAA agreeable to arbitration as suggested by the AAU?" SPORTS Crater-Medford Tickets Available Central Poini - Thirly re served seat tickets for the Crater-Medford high basket ball game at Central Point on Saturday night are still available. Crater Athletic Di rector Don Miller reported. They may be purchased at the Crater High office. The NCAA's statement of reply to the President de clared Its council unanimously endorse and commend the President's efforts and those of the attorney general to settle the breach in amateur athletics. But it was careful to say that the negotiations were between the Track and Field Federation and the AAU. "Inasmuch as the AAU and the U.S. Track and Field fed eration are agreed, we see no reason why the proceedings should not begin," the tele gram to the President said. "The U.S. Track and Field federation will represent all of its component members, in cluding the NCAA. The NCAA pledges its full and complete support of this effort." The NCAA, however, left it up to the track federation to work out with the AAU and the government or Gen. Mac Arthur the details of the arbitration. - . .IK 'J -A Fin xf :'.,,.

The Daily Neivspaper Is the Flexible Medium for Pinning Doivn Sales Newspapers don't tie up the advertiier with rigid time schedules or space limitations that weaken the impact and effectiveness of his message. Newspapers offer crea tive and physical flexibility. An advertiser can use a two page spread to tell detailed story or he can use a smaller space to say what he wants in fewer words, depending on his budget and hit strategy. The physical flexibility of newspapers means ads can be scheduled quickly to take care of sudden selling opportunities. The daily newspaper it flexible enough to fit any advertising strategy. MedfordJTribune Wilkinson Stanford Possibility By HAL WOOD Los Angeles -(UPD- Bud Wil kinson might be the next foot ball coach of Stanford Univer sity. Or, he might be the next governor of Oklahoma. It all depends on what lie wants to do. Wilkinson, one of the na tion's most successful coaches while at the University of Ok lahoma, definitely is consider ing taking the Stanford job, which became available when Jack Curtice was fired at the close of the 1962 season. However, a close associate who is with Wilkinson for the NCAA convention here, said the coach is being pressured to run for governor of Okla homa in 1066 on the Demo cratic ticket - and Wilkinson docs want to get into politics. Wilkinson already is Presi dent of Kennedy's advisor on physical fitness. Of course, should Wilkinson leave for Stanford his Okla homa political future would be about as bright as General Custer's at the Little Big Horn. The associate told United Press International: "Bud has said that if he ever left Oklahoma he would like to coach at Stanford, one of the real pure football schools." Wilkinson, according to the associate, was offered the Stanford job in 1958 before it was given to Curtice, who took over that season. "Wilkinson met and im pressed Stanford president J. Wallace Sterling," said the close friend of Wilkinson's who insisted on remaining anonymous. "A n d Sterling still wants Bud to be the In dian coach. "However, my guess is that Bud will stay at Oklahoma and run for governor when the time comes." Fear That Smoke May Bring Fire By TIM MORIARTY UPI Sports Writer The investigations of the off-field activities of National Football league players is turning up almost daily dis closures but not concrete evi dence of any crime. However, fear is growing in some quarters that all this smoke may eventually pro duce a fire. Pete Rozellc, the commis sioner of the NFL, stressed Tuesday that "nothing more than questionable associations have been discovered"' thus far in the investigations. In the same statement. Roz- elle disclosed that some mem bers of the Detroit Lions have been found in the company of "known hoodlums." He said this information was "made available" to his office "through the cooperation of Detroit Police Commissioner George Edwards." In Detroit, Edwards con firmed Rozclle's disclosure and named the "hoodlums" Lion players have been seen with. They included Anthony Thomas, whom Edwards identified as "a convicted bur glar and murderer" and "two notorious gamblers, Vilo Gia calone and his brother, Anthony." Neither Rozelle nor Ed wards disclosed the names of the Detroit players involved. 'We have no evidence of anything involving criminal activity on the part of any Lion players," Edwards said. "We feel the matter of asso ciation is primarily a matter for the football league and I called it to their attention for that reason." B 3 Molinas Convicted In Bribery Scandal By MILTON RICHMAN New York -(UPD Impassive Jack Molinas faced a possible 36-year jail term today after being convicted as the "mas ter fixer" in a bribery scandal that took in 49 college basket ball players in 51 different cities. Unable to raise $25,000 bail after being found guilty on a five-county indictment in the criminal part of New York's Supreme Court Tuesday night, Molinas was taken to the city jail. Justice Joseph A. Sarafite sot Feb. II as the date of sen tencing for tile 30-ycar-old at torney and one-time basket ball star. Molinas' attorney, Jacob Everscroff, said he planned to appeal the case. The jury of eight men and four women found Molinas guilty of con spiracy, three counts of brib ery and subornation of per jury. The crimes could bring a sentence of 36 years in Jail andor a fine of $35,500. The rugged, good-looking Molinas, who broke all scor ing records as a member of Columbia University's basket ball team and later starred for the Fort Wayne (now De troit) Pistons until he was barred from the National Bas ketball association for ad mittedly betting on his own team in 1954, was arrested on May 17, 1962. His arrest culminated more than two years of investiga tion by Manhattan Dist. Atty. Frank Hogan, who called Mo linas the "master fixer." Molinas was charged speci fically with paying a former Bowling Green player, Wil liam Dennis Reed of Flushing, N.Y., three separate bribes of $1,000 each to "shave points" in 1950 and 1960.
