Accreditation Costs No. 2 Parsons Meet Berth By Jim Parsons College may be the academics hurt athletics. For the second straight ranked No. 2 in the country. And for the second straight year the National Collegiate Athletic Association has banned the team from its college-division tournament.

Last year the N.C.A.A. barred the Wildcats because of ineligible players. This year the team cannot compete because the school has lost its North Central Association academic accreditation. Opens Today The Midwest Regional, where Parsons would compete if it eligible, begins today at Mankato, Minn. The entries are Northern Iowa (17-3), which won the North Central Conference championship, Arkansas State (19-8), Southern Colorado State (23-8) and Mankato State (19-8).

Parsons has amassed a 33-5 record and is ranked second in Collegiate Baseball's college-division poll, the same position it held at the end of last season. An Editorial Wildcat players as of last week were confident the Martz only school in the nation where year, Parsons' baseball team is would receive a bid, according to Parsons' student newspaper, Portfolio. In an editorial entitled "Baseball and Politics Don't Mix," the paper called for a change in the rule. It says the school was not considered for "a reason that has nothing to do with athletics at all. "The N.C.A.A., at no point in the season, ever considered Parsons for a post-season tournament selection," the paper said.

"This was not made plain to anyone." The N.C.A.A. counters by notling that its rules clearly state that a school must be fully accredited. "Parsons College is an associate member and is not eligible to vote in N.C.A.A. meetings or to participate in N.C.A.A. tournaments, such as the regional said Gene Duffy, N.C.A.A.

director of events in Kansas City, Mo. Olympic Track Qualifying Stiffens as Standards Soar NEW YORK, N. Y. co City Olympics have been in effect for the Tokyo Olympics would have been unable to enter Billy Mills in the run. Mills won the race at Tokyo four years ago in a sensational upset, setting an Olympic record of 28 minutes 24.4 seconds.

Prior to the Games, however, his best time was 29:25.0. The qualifying time for Mexico City is 29:00. Can Enter One Each country is given the right to enter one man in each event regardless of ability, but if more than one is entered all must meet the standards set by the International Amateur Athletic Federation. So lofty are these that in 15 out of 18 events they are better than the winning performances at the 1948 Games in London. Even more astounding than the performances demanded as entry fees are the standards required in the preliminary rounds at Mexico PREPS-Continued from Page One who became the second to clear 14 feet this spring when he did in the Sioux City city meet last weekend.

Ford, who has gone failed to qualify in the district. Colglazier, incidentally, lowered his season best in the 440 to :48.1 Tuesday in the QuadCity meet. That's just one-tenth second off his state interscholastic record set in last year's state meet at Fort Dodge. DOB BROWN of the Fort Dodge Messenger took the time to measure the stride of 6- Kent Magnusson, one of the state's better quarter-milers, and would you believe it is 8 feet 9 inches! For a comparison, Brown also measured the stride of another Dodger runner, Dave Markley, and found it to be 6-3. So with further figuring.

Brown found out that Magnusson is using only 151 strides per quarter and Markley 211. Magnusson's best time in the quarter is :49.4. He'll be used only in relay duty and the high jump Saturday at Ames. HEAR of a runner not entered in race winning it? It happened in the Class district track meet at Clarinda several weeks back. It seems Elk Horn-Kimballton Coach Jerry Gazaway neglected to enter Curt Petersen in the two run, so at the last minute he asked officials if Petersen could run.

They agreed to let him run for "exercise." To their surprise, Petersen, running the event for the first time, won by 50 yards. The officials then wanted to disqualify Curt, but Gazaway asked for a ruling and state athletic association officials ruled that since he was allowed to run he was to the victory. Curt, however, failed to place in the state meet. What happened state Delavan Mfg. 14.

A school bond issue Thursday by vot- DES MOINES Ft. Madison Miles 200 showed the following totals: Yes No 2.598. The issue was given approval by 52.6 per cent, but short of the required 60 per cent. Chief items in the bond issue were proposals to build two new elementary schools, add 35 rooms to the high school, remodel parts of all other buildings in the district, and build a bus garage. C.

Arthur Hansen, superintendent of schools, said after the election, "Naturally I'm disappointed at the result of the election but at the same time I'm encouraged because the percentage of those favoring the bond issue is higher than at our last bond election in 1966 when we had only about 30 per cent in favor." Four of the seven precincts approved the bonds. Three of the four were within the city of Fort Madison; the fourth was at Denmark, in the county. The three precincts at St. Paul, West Point and Wever turned out heavy "no" votes. At St.

Paul the bond issue was defeated 294-44, and at West Point the measure lost 403-103. The three outlying communities became part of the Fort Madison school district in 1966.

Hovland, 26, of Eldridge, ager of Flight Line, also were killed when the plane crashed in a farm field.

Waterloo Insurance Study Is Called 'Unsatisfactory' By Jack (Register WATERLOO. -A Waterloo insurance programs The study was made late in Inspection Co. of Indianapolis, at the direction of the Waterloo City Council. In a lengthy report, the firm criticized the city for failure to have a "uniform, consistent and co-ordinated" insurance program in both property and casualty fields.

The report blamed the Water100 Association of Independent Insurance Agents for contributing to the weaknesses of the city program. The city, for several years, had purchased its insurance through the association. One major recommendation of the Indianapolis firm was that the city put its insurance up for bids instead of through the independent agents. Although not disputing its re commendations, Waterloo Mayor Lloyd Turner Thursday confirmed that the firm "hasn't given us satisfaction on a lot of matters." "They told us that they would write specifications for the individual types of insurance we need. All they've done is give us some sample specifications that don't fit our needs," Turner said.

He said the only city insurance that has been purchased on bids thus far is for vehicle liability. "We've held off asking for bids on workmen's compensa-l.

BUS DRIVERS STAY OFF JOB By James Ney (Register Staff Writer) DUBUQUE, IA. Striking Dubuque school bus drivers voted again Thursday to stay off their jobs unless they are granted a 70-cent-an-hour pay increase for next year. The Dubuque Community School District went to court earlier Thursday, seeking an injunction to force the 38 drivers back to work as the large school district's buses stood idle for the second straight day. A hearing on a petition for a temporary injunction to stop the strike has been scheduled for 10 a.m, Saturday in Dubuque County district court. Drivers were served notices of the hearing at a meeting Thursday afternoon.

Their leaders said the drivers will not return to their jobs before the hearing Saturday. There are only eight days of classes remaining at Dubuque Senior High School and seven days at elementary schools after this week. The drivers, members of the Dubuque United School Bus Operators Association (U.S.B.O.A.), ask $3.20 per hour next year. The school board has offered $2.88 per hour a 15 per cent increase over this year's wage. The strike leaves 2.862 pupils in the 245-square-mile school district without public tation.

But students Thursday continued to get to classes. Only 9.3 per cent of those who normally ride school buses were absent from classes Thursday, said Superintendent Garlyn H. Wassel. He said 267 students missed classes in the 13 schools. Parents formed "car pools" and private transportation took up the slack some reportedly with great difficulty.

U.S.B.O.A. members called the strike Wednesday morning without previous warning. Drivers said they were School officials have said they won't receive "sick pay." Drivers with the board Wednesday said they feel their pay should be equivalent to full time pay in other fields. Drivers pointed to their responsibility for children's safety and to their looking after children while they are on the buses.

CHANNEL CHUCKLES By Bil Keane MAN IN A SUITCASE (AP)-Qualifying standards for the Mexihoisted so high that if they had been four years ago the United States even to qualify for the competition proper in field events.

These are: high jump 7 feet inch; long jump triple jump 52-6; pole vault 16-1; shot put 62-0; discus 190-3; javelin 262-5; hammer 216-6. Except for the long jump, those would have been world records a decade or so ago. In three events no change was made of the qualifying standards set for Tokyo. These are the javelin, long jump and 200 meters, 21.0.

No qualifying standards are needed for the walking races or the marathon. meet was that the 880-yard team won, the 440 unit placed fifth after leading the preliminaries and Roger Dumdei took second in the 100. Hood's strategy, with temperatures in the 30s, was to keep his runners in the high school gym six blocks away, have them warm up there 30 minutes before they were to run, then transport them by bus to the track where they only had time to jog to the reporting in station. The afternoon time schedule, however, worked against the relay teams. With less than an hour between the 880 and 440, Hood had to keep the runners at the track.

Maybe's that's why the 440 team was only fifth in the finals. VUKOVICH RUNS AT 164 M.P.H. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. (AP)There were only 40 minutes of practice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Thursday because of rain. Nineteen cars tested mechanical refinements for this weekend's qualifying runs.

The fastest time of the day was turned in by Bill Vukovich of Fresno, Calif. His best lap was 164.444 miles per hour in the Laycock Mongoose. Vukovich, whose father twice won the Indianapolis 500 and was killed in a wreck at the track, is almost certain to qualify for this year's race. Other good speeds Thursday were Ronnie Bucknum's 163.369 h. in an Eagle-Ford, and Bruce Walkup's 161.290 in a bocharged Offenhauser.
