NCAA RECORDS show the 3-5, sending him Into this season with 297 victories and with two more this season into Saturday's game with 299. Lee Melvln, an assistant on Robinson's staff for 21 years, said he believes Robinson really means it when he downplays the importance of No.300. "Of course we (the assistant avenue of appeal In the NCAA Is at the association's next convention In January.

That, he contended, would be "after the damages have been done." He contended UC shouldn't be affected by revised NCAA standards because NCAA by-laws state a school can retain its 1-A status if it belongs to a conference in which six members sponsor football and more than half meet the attendance requirement. UC belongs to the Metro Conference, an allied conference whose six other members all were granted Division 1-A status. But Robert Stachler, the NCAA's attorney, asked Cartolano to dismiss the suit, saying the court does not have Jurisdiction In opening statements, Sidney Weil, UC's attorney, said what the NCAA did amounted to a breach of contract. He said if the reclassification stands, the university would suffer immediate and Irreparable harm in the loss of television revenues, recruiting opportunities, game scheduling opportunities and financial support LAST MONTH, Cartolano granted a temporary restraining order, preventing the downgrading of the footbal program pending Thursday's hearing. Weil Thursday asked for a preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo until the matter could be brought to trial.

He said the university's only over the NCAA and the reclassifying matter. STACHLER ALSO contended that UC had not exhausted its appeal remedies within the association. "The court ought not assert lt-self in taking over the responsibility of Interpretation of the constitution and by-laws of the association In the absence of fraud which I do not see in this case," Stachler said. He said the NCAA would be irreparably harmed because "the very fiber of Its organization would be affected."

With a victory over Florida on Saturday, Robinson could become only the fourth coach In history and only the second one still active to win 300 college football games. Paul "Bear" Bryant of Alabama goes Into the weekend with 318 victories. Amos Alonzo Stagg and Glen Pops" Warner also passed the 300-victory mark before hanging up (heir whistles. While others regard the approaching Qiilestone as an event In keeping with the Robinson legend, the coach regards It as a distraction.

IN THE past, he said, "I'd walk on campus, and students would wave and say, 'Coach Rob," and walk on," he said. "Now they come across the street and shake hands and call me "When the student body starts treating me like I'm someone else, I can't deal with It." Robinson began his coaching career in 1941, shortly after Grambllng became a four-year school. His first team went 3-5 and his second 8-0. Publicists figured 40 years later that it would appear more dramatic If press guides showed a turnaround from 0-8 to 8-0, and cotff KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY. 80 PROOF.

DISTILLED AND BOTTLED BY JAMES BEAM The Greater Cincinnati Indoor Tennis Association JftTlT pepsi p. BY GEORGENE KALEINA Enquirer Reporter Downgrading the National Collegiate Athletic Association division ranking of University of Cincinnati's football team from 1-A to 1-AA would make the university appear "a second-rate school athletically," a university official contended Thursday. The comment from Ambrose Lindhorst, the vice chairman of UC's board of trustees, came dur-lng a preliminary injunction hearing before Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Fred Carto-lano. The NCAA reclassified UC's football program, saying the university didn't meet the 20,000 attendance average for its games and that its stadium does not meet a standard. Citing immediate and Irreparable harm, UC Is seeklpg a preliminary injunction to prevent the NCAA from reclassifying the football program.

The hearing Is to continue today. "THE ROLE of football Is a particularly necessary vehicle to not only arouse student support but particularly alumni support, including financial giving," Lindhorst testified. "If you are In 1-AA, the public reaction Is that you are a second-rate school athletically, and in fact you are." "That produces a rather irreparable consequence to the university as a whole," Lindhorst continued, "particularly If all your scholastic postures throughout various colleges are acknowledged as first class."

DURING WORLD War II, Grambling didn't field college team, so Robinson coached Grambllng High School's team. The nucleus of the Grambllng legend was assembled there Jerry Moore and Paul "Tank" Younger, the first player from a predominantly black school to establish himself in the National Football League. Later, with the late Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones, the school president who hired him, Robinson would overcome the disadvantages of its stadium by taking his team on the road New York to Tokyo to play wherever there were enough seats to hold the school's huge following of sidewalk alumni.

Four members of his unbeaten 1955 team went on to make All Pro. Thirteen seniors on his 1963 team went Into professional football. ALTHOUGH THEY'RE all proud of having been part of Robinson's record, nis players leave little doubt that teaching winning football Is only the smallest part of Robinson's Impact on them and society. "When you're with Eddie, you feel uplifted. He makes you believe in him a little more, believe In America a little more all the good things," said Willie Davis, recognized as one of the NFL's great linebackers when he played with Cleveland and Green Bay.
