That made a total of defeats handed out to nationally ranked teams in the last three days. Southern Methodist found il couldn't handle Don Schlundt, Indiana's 6 -foot, 10-inch All-American who had another great night with 41 points. But the Mustangs held Schlundt to 11 points in the first lialf while they were racing to a 4 lead and is second-halt' splurge of 30 points wasn't enough because he had no other jHoosier scored in double figures, Former Army Star Is Citadel Coach CHARLESTON.

Major College Revolt Seen Over NCAA Television Curb By UNITED PRESS A growirrg dissatisfaction with the football television policy of the National Collegiate Athletic Association may- produce a revolt by several major conferences next season unless there is a change in the current "Game of the Week" program, a United Press survey revealed today.

1 Free hunting permits are granted at a wildlife station on the area eflect "with or without th bless ings" of the NCAA, there also was open opposition against the current nrogram by the Pacific Coast Conference, and degree of dissatisfaction in thp Southwest and Missouri Valley Conferences. Even the staid Eastern College Athletic which generally goes along with NCAA policy, voted In favor of some major modifies- Hons to the Game of the Week plan. However, in general the ECAC endorsed it. The Atlantic Coast Conference, which has several influential colleges which go for big time football operations, appointed a committee tdf study the entire program and report back next May. The Big Seven Conference also deferred action at present but Executive Secretary Reaves Peters at Kansas City, said there were arguments on both sides.

F. L. Romney of the Skyline Conference at Salt Lake City said "We're open minded but taking no action at this time." The Southern and Southeastern conferences likewise took no action at their meetings. The Southern group said it planned for the present to remain neutral in the fight. Bernle Moore, the Southeastern commissioner, said the matter was discussed.

It appeared from the expressions of sentiment that a bitter floor fight on the entire matter will develop when the NCAA holds its annual meetings in New York Jan. 5-7. The NCAA has indicated it wants no deviation from its current plan of one nationally televised game each week, no team to appear more than once during the 13-week period of operation, and schedules to be drawn up well before the start of the season.
