BASIN MOTORS Leagues In Over New 18-year-old tournament staged an nually at Kansas Citv bv tne NAIA (National Association of In tercollegiate Athletics). But the little college group has served notice that li s going to take a tot ol running. Angered by the NCAA action, the little colleges apparently have betn strengthened rather than hurt. Eight of their 31 districts al ready have voluntarily supplied 100 per cent loyalty pledges. And, in stead of backing off, the NAIA plans to spread cut in meeting the challenge by putting on a bowl football game at either Shrevenort or Little Rock. The NCAA naturally is a better known organization because it is devoted to the big schools which are athletic foundries. Suddenly, However, it has realized the blos soming power of the small col leges, wnich it forever neglected, because now the NAIA has 465 member schools with some 550,000 students. It is obvious that the NCAA fig ures to stamp out a growing rival and take over a paying proposition at the same time. The little colleges concede, ap parently, that they would be su premely stupid to "Jump" at the NCAA Utile college event which A. W. Mumford of Southern Uni versity calls a "backdoor tourna ment" now they not only have their basketball but also track, tennis and golf tournaments. In the NCAA they would be completely submerged. , There is a danger to the little colleges in that, quite possibly, the NCAA might eventually forbid Its members to compete against NAIA teams. But the latter group has 465 members and the NCAA only 225 small college members. In a freezeout, the NAIA doesn't figure to get hurt too much. Yet, as Fred. Hess of Nebraska Wesley an says, some small schools which are Jealous of larger colleges may 'prefer to Identify themselves with the NCAA In the role of shirt tail relative because of pseudo pres tige." Apparently there aren't too many of those. Roswell Merrick of South ern Illinois University, sums it up by saying: "I am confident that after a tournament or two held by the NCAA, things will level off and the NAIA will be a lot stronger for the experience. Our basis is sound be cause teams and player are not selected Just to get a packed house and principles are not sacrificed Just for a dollar sign." The NAIA's aroused reaction anent theICAA seems to be "who needs 'em?" If they hang together as inaieations are that they will, they probably will kill off the NCAA tournament aborning. . If they don't, they'll probably hang separately. 15 Chosen For Meet YAKIMA, Wash, m The Pa cific Northwest Ski Assn.

Running the mile and a quarter feature Saturday without a tuneup race beforehand, he didn't get the lead until the last few yards and won by only a head over Social Outcast. Social Outcast was a head in front of Sailor, who in turn was a neck ahead of Find. It took a photo graph to decide the order in which the horses came In. Nashua had to show his best to overcome the strategy of the Al fred O. Vanderbilt pair, Find and Social Outcast. Find, a great sprinter, led the race at a torrid pace until deep in the stretch drive. Then Social Out cast, who finishes his races with a tremendous burst of speed, plunged up from last position and barely missed. Sailor, who had run side by side with Nashua almost the entire way, hung on to pass the fading Find. The $92,600 purse made Nashua the second million-dollar winner In racing history and places him with in striking distance for the rec ord. With $1,038,015 already won.
