CASE-PILE glrtjona atl gtar gport MORNING, MARCH 18, 1952 PAGE TWO-B Griddes Disclosure Brings About Request Laney Indicates Regents Will Act but Gives No Hint as to How Soon; Tempe Coach Under Fire In Document Released by Former Player PHOENIX, March 17 UP) The board of regents of the University of Arizona and the Arizona State Colleges at Tempe and Flagstaff Bhould reopen the "Matesic case," Gov. Howard Pyle said today. The Matesic case involves Joseph Matesic, who played football last fall at ASC Tempe under his brother's name, Andrew Matesic, won all-Border Conference tackle a A I i if 's 'i r.f -St. Who Controls Collegiate Football in Arizona By ABE CHAXIX Star Sports Editor THE PUBLICATION or a statement by Footballer Joe Matesic implicating Arizona State at Tempe coaches in his falsification of entrance records was late in coming out. Actually, the story has been in abeyance, awaiting a positive action in the matter by Dr.

Grady Gammage, president of Arizona State at Tempe. But no positive action, other than what has been termed a "whitewashing," has been forthcoming. The newspapers in the state knew of many talcs incriminating Head Coach Larry Siemering in the playing of Matesic as a freshman although he already had had two seasons at the University of Indiana. And then suddenly one assistant coach after another resigned from the Tempe football staff, the word spread quickly, and from those assistants, that it HAD been known all along that Matesic was falsely registered and playing under an assumed name. If, as Matesic says, he was told to register under his brother's name at Tempe, and if, as the assistant coaches have said, this was known as fact, how did Dr.

Gamm'age's investigation fail to announce a clear-cut decision? HIGHBALL BY HIGH SCORER Norm Grekin (7), LaSalle Jiigh-scorlng forward, really does some- flying as he goes up with the ball in first half of National Invitation tournament champion-ship game.

Saddler Bounces Off Floor, Whips Collins; Henry Loses The Sun Angels Enter the Picture MATESIC ALSO dragged into the picture the Sun Angel Foundation, Tempe's downtown boosters' organization of professional and businessmen.

He did that by saying ttiat Mike Casteel, executive secretary of the Sun Angels, also knew his real identity. The Sun Angels have much to say in Tempe football. They raise money to pay Tempe football players and have, in the past, raised money to pay coaches' salaries. And the influence of the downtown group on collegiate football at Tempe was not restricted merely to giving out pay checks. They took a hand in hiring football coaches, setting football policy that would be geared to the championship "big-time" football they were footing the bills for.

Thus it would be only logical to wonder if Dr. Gammage, a respected educator in the state, was allowed a clear hand in his investigation and subsequent decision on the Matesic case? Arizona Spring Drills Close Day Early Arizona's spring football practice will close today, one day short of the allotted 20 days. Following Saturday night's intra-squad game, the Wildcats had two remaining days of workouts. But rain limited the squad to a chalk talk yesterday. Head Coach Warren Woodson said he would close out the spring practice with play-running, checking of various offensive assignments and going over some of the errors shown in the game-condition scrimmage.

San Jose Tank Crew Belts UA San Jose's swimming squad routed the' University of Arizona swimmers yesterday afternoon 72 to 12 In the opening meet of the year for the locals. The same two teams will swim again this after-: men's pool. Lack of training for the Wildcats was given as the reason for the Cats' dismal showing in the meet. "With all this bad weatlv er," commented one Arizona official, "the swimmers haven't been able to work out. They haven't had any trials at all this year." Outside of that one factor, however, the Wildcats faced a rugged foe in San Jose State.

The visitors captured first in all the events. Web Small was the top scorer for Arizona. He grabbed off a second in the 200-yard backstroke event and finished third in the 50-yard free style event. Num Fong was a double winner for the visitors. He captured firsts in the 220-yard free style swim and in the 440-yard free style event.

Hearn went the first five innings, facing 17 men. Kennedy fin ished up, walking three and fanning three to face 15 batters in his four-inning stint. The only threat of a hit by the Cubs came on a line drive to left center by Third Baseman Ransom Jackson to lead off the second inning.

Desire to Best Arizona Had Much to Do With Interfering of Sun Angels What is it that draws booster groups into the manipulting of collegiate football, not fonly in Arizona, but throughout the nation? It can't be selfishness for there is little open gain for the businessmen. In fact, it costs them.

Rather it is a desire to satisfy pride in their hometown institutions. IN TEMPE'S CASE it has been the desire to outdo the University of Arizona. Throughout the years the Tempe school rode a poor second to the university in athletics. But after World War II, the Sun Angel Foundation was formed. It was spurred on by Arizona's 67-0 licking of Tempe on the football field.

From then on the Sun Angel Foundation, hiring an executive secretary at a good salary, drove Tempe football forward. The Sun Angels selected Ed Doherty to coach Tempe out of the hole. He did the job but balked at interference by boosters and resigned after bringing Tempe its second straight triumph over rival Arizona. honors and was declared In Jan uary to have been ineligible. In a notarized statement appearing in today's Phoenix newspapers Maiesic charges Larry Siemering.

head football coach at Tempe, aided in working out a plan whereby Matesic, although ineligible be cause he had played football for Indiana University In 19oO, be came a member of the Tempe squad. Siemering refused to comment on the published statement. Dr. Grady Gammage, president of the college, said: Gammage Replies "Proper disciplinary action has been Preventative measures have already been applied and we've made decisions for next year. I consider the affair closed." An investigation of Matesic status was made by the college board of athletic control in January, shortly after the player had left college and returned to his home in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The board gave a mild reprimand to Siemering but cleared him and his assistant coaches of complicity in the case. Recently the board of regents approved Dr. Gammage's recommendation that Siemering be rehired as head coach. Governor Pyle said today he had asked Matesic for a sworn statement in February before the board met to consider Siemering's new contract. Such a statement W'as not received.

"The regents made a decision without Matesic's sworn statement," the Governor said. "It is incumbent for the boardTto determine whether or not the' matter should be reconsidered." 3Iay Take Action Lynn M. Laney of Phoenix, board president. Indicated the board would take some action in the case. But he refused to say when, or what the action might be.

Matesic is now in the marine corps at Parris Island, N.C. In his sworn statement he named Siemering and four others as having known his true status during the entire football season. Two of Siemering's assistants re signed earlier this year. None of those named by Matesic have commented on his sworn statement. In his statement Matesic also said Siemering talked him into taking his brother's name and arranged for him to leave Tempe quietly with a one-way ticket to Pittsburgh.

"I admit my act In thig cheap farce," he said. "Why shouldn't the others involved? "I did it for an education and love of football. What reason had Siemering other than to make a name for himself this season at my expense?" Since leaving Arizona State College in early February Matesic was turned down by a Pittsburgh draft board and later enlisted in the Marine Corps. He is stationed at Parris Island, N.C. Matesic's ineligibility first came to light in January when Gammage announced it and at the same time promised to "conduct a full investigation." Presents Findings The college's board of athletic control conducted the investigation.

It reported its findings to Dr. Gammage who then propbsed to the board of regents at its February 'meeting that Siemering be re-hired as head coach for 19o2-53. The board concurred. Dr. Gammage announced at that time that Siemering had assured responsibility in the "unfortunate situation." But no word was given out as to whether or not Siemering knew in advance of Matesic's ineligibility, or had found out before the season endd.

Matesic's brother, Andrew, who lives in Phoenix, has never been quiet about the affair. He publicly has said he didn't like, the way the matter was left Until today, though, Joseph Matesic declined to make a public announcement of "his side." Although it came six weeks late, Laney said the regents mav re consider the affair, possibly plac ing Diame. CAGE SCORES NINTH NAVAL DISTRICT TOURNAMENT First Round) U. S.

Norris and Wirtz leaped into the boxing business with a lightning coup on March 1, 1949. On that day Joe Louis, announced his resignation as heavyweight champion and the creation of a partnership with Wirtz and Norris to be known as the IBC. At the same time Louis asked and received.

permission from the Xational Boxing Association to promote a fight between Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott for the va cated title.

Ezzard Charles, former heavyweight champion, and Sugar Ray Robinson," middleweight king, have made numerous appearances for other promoters although under contract to the IBC. The action was announced by Melville C.

Williams, chief of the department of justice's anti-trust division. It followed a recommen dation by a federal grand jury which has been probing the sport since last October. In Washington, Attorney General J. Howard McGrath said the suit was aimed to remove monopolistic practices and he added that the public, contestants, promoters, radio and Ty broadcasters are "entitled to a free, competitive market in a business which com mands such wide public Other IBC Arenas Besides New York's Madison Square Garden, the IBC control Larry Did the Job Too The Sun Angels, after Doherty's resignation, again selected a coach to continue the upwards parade. This time it was Larry Siemering who had brought College of Pacific nation-wide fame although it was reported that the Stockton, Calif, School and its boosters had over-spent on football player recruiting.

SIEMERING DID the job, too. He did it even better. Whereas Doherty only defeated Arizona, 34-7, and 47-13, Seimering's Tempe eleven routed the university, 61-14. Joe Matesic played in that game for Tempe. Siemering had produced the results the Sun Angels asked for.

And now it would appear that Siemering is really going to deliver the goods. He has loaded Tempe's football squad with west coast transfers that include giant linemen and at least one very highly paid much-touted back, John Henry Johnson. Siemering is delivering the goods; the Sun Angels are footing the bill. And who controls collegiate football at Tempe?

Norris of New York and Arizona Learned to Put Football fs Pffce The University of Arizona learned that football is no eighth wonder of the world. i learned to remedy a strange situation in which Arizona football had been blown into an autonomous position.

Football, built up by its downtown boosters, had grown so large that it no longer could fit its size into the department of athletics. And the university's director of athletics had NO control over football. THE FOOTBALL COACH, rather, was made responsible only to the president of the university. This odd situation came about- through the direction of Arizona's downtown boosters, the Towncats. Now, however; football is back in line with other Arizona sports.

It is once again, where it always should have been, under the department of athletics. Tempe still must learn to curb the football ambitions of its booster groups. It must learn that downtown booster groups can work quietly and effectively with university athletics. But the control must remain with thejchool and the sport of football must remain small enough to live in the department of athletics on the same level with other sports. Arthur M.
