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would be withdrawn.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.

FLEXIBILITY!
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.

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."

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.
