LOS ANGE1.ES IPi The na

Tult-i College, president ot the Na
tlonul Collenlale Athletic Assn.
(NCAAK made the comment as
the organization prepared to open
its 80tli annual convenlion.
Houston was chairman of the
NCAA compliance committee whlchl
had charge ot enlorcing tne san
ity code from 1048 until its abolish'
tnent In 1951.

lie held the title of "most un
popular" man in the collegiate
athletic field. A year ago he was
named NCAA president and prott
nbly will be reelected to a second
term next week.
"The sanity code was too strong
( the time of Its adoption." Hous
ton admitted Saturday. "The col
leges weren't ready for it and
wouldn't accept It.
"Today there is a trend, growing
steadily, toward individual policing
of the athletic program. 1 think
It's a good thing, a sign that the
college sports picture is bright."
Scheduled for presentation to the
convention, which opens lull scs.
sions Monday, Is an amendment
to the bylaws which would tighten
up on the recruiting of High school
ainieies.
It would limit Uie "expenses
paid" visits of prep Athletes to
one at any campus, regardless of
whether the host school or a
"booster club" picked up the tab.
"That's another good sign."
Houston said. "The schools rec
ognize the problem of young ath
letes 'shopping' and are taking
the matter into their own hands."
The recruiting amendment,
which will put a damper on boost
er club activities, will be dis
cussed at separate panel meetings
of athletic directors and faculty
representatives Monday afternoon.
The full NCAA membership will

L. Mangrum
Holds Lead;
Bolt Red-Hot
I.OS ANGELES Wl Tommy
Bolt fired a fantnstic eight under
par 63 but It wasn t good enough
to overtake the rousing sub par
playing of Lloyd Mangrum as they
nit the midway mark of the $30,000
Los Angeles Open Golf Tourna
ment Saturday.
Mangrum, playing in a three
some well behind Bolt and fully
aware of the task ahead, knocked
out his second straight 66 for a
total of 132.
Bolt had a first round par 71
and his amazing 63 gave him a
36-hole total of 134.
Two strokes back of Bolt, and
four behind Mangrum, was Long
John Bnrnusri of Belmont, Mich.,
who added a 69 to his first round
67 for 136.
Six -strokes back of Mangrum
were four players, E. J. (Dutch)
Harrison, Jerry Barber 'and two
darkhorses. Bill Casper of Seattle
end Cecil Harris of Whittler,
Calif.
Barber shot a 67. Harrison a 69,
Casper a 68 and Harris a 71.
Tied at 139 were Cary Middle
coff, with a 69: Marty Furgol. 68
Al Besselink. 70, and Ralph Blom-
qulst, of nearby Glcnclule, 70,
Bill has a hook of sorts, mostly
from lus nutuial southpaw side,
and they're trying to develop an
outside shot, but the bulk of his
points comes or. dunkers. A Don
set shot by guards K. C. Jones
or Hal Perry is slightly off, and
Hill swoops up to guide it in. Col
lege basketball has nothing like
him, on or off the court.
Before ti.e NCAA championship
finale against LaSalle in Kansas
City last season, the squaa was
supposed to assemble for the usual
pre-game meal. Bill had some
panes ot hunger an hour earlier
He tossed down a snack consisting
u! a whole roast chicken and
salad. -He's knocked off. three
steaks for lunch, but he remains
a relatively skinny 210 pounds.
They thought the new college 12-
foot lane would restrict his back
board operations.
"This won't hurt the tall ones."
1)111 shook his head. "It'll kill the
fat ones."
A basketball can get lost In his
big hinds, but Bill lays off any
clowning during a game.
! I'm not a Globetrotter," he
shrugged, "yet."
Five hours a day are devoted to
practice shooting to develop his
touch. His ambitions have gone be
yond being a mere All-America.
"I'd like to be an all-time All-
America," he admitted frankly.
"But I think I started a little
late."
He never made his high school
team In Oakland across the bay
until he was a senior. They didn t
rush to recruit him then, either.
"He has at least two years be
fore he reaches his peak as a
basketball player." gauged Coach
Phil Woolpert of the Dons.
Rival toaches are less cautious
'.'George Mikan would not only fail
to score again him he'd never get
off a shot." said Bob Feerick of
Santa Clara, who's played in the
pro loops.
However, the adjustment to pro
fessional basketball, his eventual
aim, will take time. He'll be
roughed up like he's never been
before, and he'll find those dunk
ers don't come so easy against
equally big men. He's a poor foul
shooter, which is a big handicap.
and he must develop a right hand
shot.
Still, we'd like to have him.

Tells Reason
Of Forfeiture
SAN FRANCISCO Ifl Referee
Al Llchtner told The Associated
Press Saturday night that safety
considerations prompted his un
precedented action in forfeiting the
Pa"ltlc Coast Conference basket
ball iraine between California and
Southern California.
I was thinking not only of mv
personal safety but also of the
players on the floor who might also
nave been hit or might have
slopped on one of those pennies,
slipped and fallen and broken a
leg." Llghtner declared in a tele
phone interview.
Llghtner forfeited the game to
Southern Cal Saturday after he
was hit by a coin for the second
lime. Southern Cal was ahead 77
64 at the time with 3 minutes and
15 seconds left to play. That stands
as the final score.
LiBhtner. who is sports editor of
The Oregon Slatesman at Salem,
Ore., remarked that he had been
a basketball official for 16 years,
u oi inem in uie PCC.
Never before, he said, had he
"seen this happen, let alone be
e part of It. It will never happen
to me again here, because I will
not work here again."
'T can't put my finger on any
body because I did not see any
body throw anytluug that hit me.
nut I do- know that the objects
Dial were thrown came from the
California side of the rooting area.
It might have been somebody,
however. Mho was not associated
with Ihc university," he added.
After a coin hit him in the eye,
he explained, he stopied the game,
had a doctor check his Injury and
then had an announcer tell root
ers over a public address system
Unit any repetition would mean a
forleiture.
The second coin hit him In the
back of the neck.
"I'll bet that last night and to
day I kicked at least '.'0 pennies off
that floor," he concluded.
Because llio penally was not as
sessed against any player. Llght
ner ruled that Uie score should re
main 77-64. rather than 2-0. Norm
ally a 2-0 score is posted on a
forleiture.

Capture AP's
Return Bows
By THE ASSOCIATED TRESS
A pitcher and a hitler Tommy
Byrne and Sugar Ray Robinson
are the stars of the two most dra
matic comeback stories of sports
in 1955.
Bjme, who once said It took
him 15 years to learn to pitch,
returned from the minor league
obscurity to which his wild
ness had consigned him. and be
came one of the leading figures
in the New York Yankees' drive
to the American League pennant.
Robinson, who had retired from
boxing about two years before
when his great career seemed to
have reached an end, came back
to the ring and regained the middle-weight
title from Bobo Olson
in a stirring slugfest.
Byrne's return was picked as
"Sports Comeback of the Year"
by the sports writers and broad
casters participating in The As
sociated Press year-end poll with
Robinson's a strong second.
Byrne earlier had been voted
comeback honors for the Ameri
can League by members of the
Baseball Writers Assn. and the
Wrigley Award of the Chicago
Baseball Writers as baseball's
outstanding comeback man.
The 36-year-old Wake Forest
College alumnus had been Yankee
property from 1940 until 1951
without ever learning the control
essential for a top major league
pitcher. The Yanks finally trad
ed him to St. Louis.
The Browns and two other
American League clubs gave up
on him and he slipped into the

came from behind to beat Oregon
State 58-52 Saturday night and
gain a split in a 2-game Pacific

It was a personal triumph of
sorts for Rask. who was playing in
place of Bob Reichert, who was
dropped from the team earlier this
week for failing to report for prac

collected 16 points, many at key
points in the game, and was little
short of sensational on floor play.-
Beck. 3-foot-3 junior forward, got
15 of his points in WSC's come-from-behmd

The Cougars trailed 29-24 at in
