Time Has Come ...
Strict Ethics Code
For Athletics Needed
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 3 UP) The time has come, In the
avowed belief of Commissioner Kenneth L. (Tug Wilson of the
Western conference, for the nation's colleges to take stock and
adopt a standard code of ethics in dealing with athletes.
Terming the forthcoming meeting in New York of the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic association "the most important in the
history of the NCAA." Wilson declared:
"We have reached the cross-roads. The colleges can either
leven off and operate as they should, or they may get into trou
ble. We must set ud a policy
whereby a kid will choose a
school for its educational value,
rather than the school choosing
a kid for his athletic ability."
Colleges, he said, have pros
pered under the true- amateur
operation and must continue to
follow that pattern. "If we
don't we invade the professional
field, where we don't belong,"
he declared.
His predecessor, the late
Maj. John Griffith, once sent out
a form letter to most of the col
lege presidents in the country,
outlining his views on threatened
professionalism and asking for
opinions on what should be done
to correct abuses. The presi
dents displayed little interest,
Wilson recalled.
"He received only 22 re
plies," Wilson continued. "Re
cently I sent out the same type
of letter. I received nearly
200 replies. This shows that
college presidents now are
aware of the problem and are
determined to take action
needed.'
Wilson said some 28 confer
ences will be represented in New
York January 6-8, and independ
ent schools, including West
Point and Annapolis, have in
dicated they will cooperate with
the NCAA. Notre Dame has
been invited but Wilson said he
had not been advised whether it
will participate in the meeting.

Over Goal For East's
Drive Theory
Laid To War
NEW YORK. Jan. 3 P
Many of the nation's college bas
ketball coaches this season are
operating under the old theory
that a good offense is the brat
defense and B.-uce Drake, Uni
versity of Oklahoma mentor, be
lieves the condition bi a direct
result of the war.
"It's a natural aftermath of
the war period." said Drake to
day in commenting on the trend
toward the attack which has
found a large percentage of
teams trying simply to outscore
their opponents with less
thought being given to a planned
defense.
Drake discussed various as
pects of the court game while
he and his squad, which knocked
New York's City college out of
the undefeated ranks here Wed
nesday night, awaited the de
parture of their chartered nlan
for Peoria, III., where the Soon
ers play Bradley university to
morrow night.
"in the first place." -he said,
the war made all at ua mnr
offensive-minded. But more im
portant, nearly all coaches have
welcomed back players who
were offensive stars before they
uu io war.
Drake declared that the new
rule which ctops the clock on
every whistle during the last
four minutes of a game has help
ed reduce "stalling" in the clos
ing moments and does not pro
long the contest to a noticeable
degree.
