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.

I had hoped to get to pernaps
61 feet and a couple of inches.'
the 235-pound ex-Southern Cali

think I'd turn the trick until al
most the Olympics. I wanted to
come around gradually.
But now, I can t tell. I certamiy

for the unexpectedly tight finish
of the Widener Handicap in which
he. the odds-on favorite, came

the next three horses.
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

With $1,038,015 already won.
