x PACI TIN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON THURSDAY, JAN. 8, 19-48 Sanity Code Approval Is Almost Sure Many Coaches See Prompt Failure For Rules Minus Teeth NEW YORK, Jan. 8 T The NCAA's "sanity code" starts through the final mill today with athletic chieftains freely predicting Its ap proval but many of them foreseeing failure In the accomplishment of its alms. "You can't enforce It," one promt nent coach said. "Many will vote for the code while figuring out ways to beat it." Such expressions as "just a scrap of paper" and "rules without -ecth were bandied about as the National Collegiate Athletic association's ex ecutive committee prepared to dig Into the code today. The code, a group of proposed constitutional amendments de signed to curb athletic subsidiza tion, will be placed before the entire NCAA membership Saturday. Indi cations are It will meet only scat tered resistance. Representatives of the soutlicast, southwest and . southern confer ences, where the loudest protests were expected, said last night they expected the new standard of con duct to be approved "without trouble." GRANTS-IN-AID The code permits grants to ath letes, under certain conditions and allows Institutions to contact play ers as long as they keep their sales talk within catalogued bounds. The NCAA plan calls for enforce ment through special committees. In the major meeting yesterday the rules committee of the Ameri can Football Coaches association, heald by Coach Lou Little of Columbia, suggested two minor al terations In rules: (1) After a sec ond successive out of bounds kick' off, the ball goes to the receiving team ten yards In front of the kick Instead of on the kickers 0; (2) When a player is Injured after the fourth time out In a half, only the Injured player can be substituted for without a penalty. The coaches turned down pro posals for elimination of the extra point, abolition of the free substitU' tlon rule and making the T-forma-tion quarterback eligible for a pass when he s not a yard behind the Una of scrimmage. Other developments of the NCAA enclave: (1) The National Collegiate Track Coaches association recommended that a straight Olympic program be adopted for the 1948 meet at Min neapolis June 18-19 and be staged under the metric system. BASEBALL IN OLYMPICS (2) The American Association of College Baseball Coaches voted to petition the NCAA to recognize their association as the only or ganlzation to promote U. S. baseball participation in the Olympics, and to ask that the sport be placed on the 1952 Olympic program. (3) Ford Frick, national league president, told the baseball coaches the proposed major-college agree ment which would forbid the sign Ins of college players to pro con tracts Is unsatisfactory because col leges don't have a standard form of eligibility. $25,000 r - ,w J aw v .

The Trojans defeated .Bonanza in a pre-season contest George Bray's Talent Bulldogs also hold a victory over the Antlers. Portland Pro Hoopers See Twelfth Loss By The Associated Press Bellingham's Fire rests changed places with the Vancouver Hornets In the Pacific Coast professional basketball circuit today, after the erstwhile runner-up Canadian quintet dropped a 60-44 decision to Seattle and Bellingham squeezed past Tacoma by a 51-48 margin in last night's encounters. Astoria hung a 49-45 defeat on the Portland Indians in the night's other clash. It was nip-and-tuck everywhere but In Seattle where the Athletics took a 24-14 halftime margin anu coasted to victory on Bernie Price's 24 tallies. The win increased the Seattle lead to two full games. Tacoma led Bellingham 13-3 at the end of the first quarter but le'l behind by 28-24 a; halftime. With the victors' Gale Bishop swishitig three quick buckets at the start ol the period, Bellinghaoi tpd Its lead to 30-24 and Tacoma njvtr caught up. 3isliop picked up 20 roints for his night's labor, tvree more than Tacoma s Johnny Kati.-.i. Portland, trying futilely to avoid its 12th consecutive loss, deadlocked Astoria four times In the final per iod before the Royal Chinooks broke a 43-43 knot with three minutes re maining. Rod Rodrigues, Portland guard, collected 22 points league high for the night; Howard led Astoria with 17. Portland has won two games of 21. All six teams see action again to night, Astoria invading Seattle, Portland challenging Tacoma, and Vancouver entertaining Bellini- ham. Crisler Holds Single Wing Frits Crisler perhaps gets more legerdemain than any other ex poneiu oi me single wing, yet nis line Michigan varsity of 1943 couldn come close to coping with Leahy's modern Notre Dame T. It was then that Crisler said he couldn't believe a college team coum get me l aown mat line. "to many schools are now using the T that coaches are pressing uieinscives to create new variations ana players to master them," any: Aquinas' Wright, one of the brighter young drill-masters. "Mighty few of the name coaches were exposed to the current T as players. A lot of them arc just beginning to get It through their heads in a complete sense, as young men coached In the T go on to become coaches and expend their original thoughts and Ideas, It will be even more poweriui. "There are hundreds of variations of the T. Scoreess Ties Less Often "Outscoring It Is the only way to beat the T. for It can t be stopped, "bcoreiess yes were more or less common when practically every body played the single wing. Recall the scoreless ties between Pitts burgh and Fordham. "A scoreless Ue between T teams Is the exception that proves the rule, the one between Army and Notre Dame In 1946. for example. The reason for that one was that the coaches refused to gamble. Had either side taken a single chance and scored, it would have thrown the game wide open, and the teams would have given the fans what they like to see running and passing action. "A shift in the single wing necessarily puts most of the attacking team's strength either left or right, and a good tackle can play havoc wun mat son oi an alignment. "The greatest pass patterns come out of the T. "The T team gets four deep receivers with only three deep men covermg, ana mere is always me danger or tne shortened button hook. Passer Better Protected "T teams are able to protect the passer much belter than those using the single wing. "One entire side of the line can be released for downfield bumping. "Regardless of how good a runner Is from the single wing he un consciously freezes for a second as he takes a direct pass from the center. "The T back starts like a trackman. The ball Is handed to him while he is under full steam. "Seeing a flaw In the defense, a T quarterback can check signals at the last second, and strike at the weakest point. "Perhaps the biggest advantage of the T Is that It works better against a smart club, and most teams are intelligent. A dumb guy wont fall for a fake. He won't even see It." Man-ln-Motion Explained "Even if the man-in-motlon only takes a man with him." says Red Grange, "he Is accomplishing something. It's as good as a block, and wiui less eiiort. "The man-in-motion can go deep, take a pass out in the flat, pass, take a lateral, button hook or stop-and-go." It was the veteran Ralph. Jones, now of Lake Forest of Illinois, coaching the Bears in 1930, who put the offensive ends out, loosening up the tackles and moving the defensive backs out of position. This and the man-ln-motion owned un the came, and mrf th x woat it is tooay.

Washington's Hus kies and Oregon's Ducks, clash at McArthur court this Friday and Saturday nights In the opening of the 1948 northern division ,cr.go race. Washington, bossed by Art Mc Lamey, has been firmly Installed as the favorite In the coming pen nant chase. The Huskies have a brilliant array of talent In the starting lineup and have begun to turn up reserves with talent to round out a potent squad. In prcscuson play, the Washington five racked up nine wins In U games. Coach John Warren's Ducks have been spotty nil tltruush the eurly games. The Orrimi record also reads nine and three, but the competition has not been as strong as that faced by the Hus kies. Warren, as Is MrLarnry. la making his first start as head coach and faces a tremendous problem In building a front line to rope with the favorites. Ill lion - conference competition the Ducks, particularly at forward. have been hot and cold. The play of Roger Wiley at center has Im proved steadily and the Duck guards have been reasonably con sistent. But at forward, It has been all or nothing. The front line picked up addi tional strength early this week when Dick Wllklns. high scoring veteran of three Northern division seasons, returned to the squad. He missed all of the non-conference affairs due to Ineligibility. To bolster the spot. Warren moved Reedy Berg, a steady performer for three seasons at guard, to forward early this week. Washington will pin Its hopes on the steady performances of Jack Nichols at renter. Hob Jor gensen and Bill Taylor al guard and Sammy White at forward. All are veterans, all can score.

Jan. 8 iP President Charles Graham of the San Francisco baseball club, still hot about the turndown given Paci fic Coast league hopes for major league recognition, wants the circuit to set Itself up as a virtual Independent. Graham would make It tougher for the majors, who recently turned cold shoulder to the Coast league's major hopes, to draft Its players. If they object, "then we will defy them completely." the Seals presi dent said today. He declared his club also favored breaking the league's major-minor agreement In such case. Graham said the question will be discussed at a league meeting In Los Angeles January 36-27. His view Is that a Coast league club should not accept a draft lor player unless he has played In the league at least six years and a board arbitration should decide the draft price. The board would have one mem ber selected by the majors, one by the Coast league and Commissioner B. Chandler as chairman.
