LOOK CLAIMS BIG TEN SCANDAL New Stadium Halves Homer Production 1 Gopher Program Studied; Kramer's Aid Illegal? Tues July 31, 1956 THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR OB CHARLES JOHNSON'S Lowdown on Sports Millers Get 12th Rainout; wo Tilts Tonigjit By BOB BEEBE Minneapolis Star Staff vlriter Metropolitan stadiun has had more rain this year than even the older settler can program conducted with downtown business firms. The magazine also says that even with the help they get athletes are not in the chips. Thus Kramer was in debt at the end of last season and the only athletes who come from wealthy families actually have money at Big Ten schools. MANY PROFESSIONAL fighters good and bad-made a lot of money for themselves out of this sport The program appears to be similar to the one which brought recent penalties to Ohio State. In the Kramer case Look points out that the Big Ten rules plainly prohibit scholarships for boys whose grades are below plus, and athletic director Fritz Crisler says that the Wolverine star's cumulative average is below that.

However, there is an escape clause which permits financial assistance to students who don't qualify academically if the aid is based on circumstances not related to their athletic prowess. Crisler claims the $560 grant to Kramer is okay in that connection, Dean Walter Rea points out that it was based on need created by his participation in three sports so that there wasn't succficient time left for him to work. Alothough there is little supervision of off campus jobs, Look's survey found that both Minnesota and Ohio State had accurate knowledge of their work to cover the cost of his tuition, board, room and other expenses. So they arrange jobs for them working a few hours a week at a pay which probably would not be forthcoming if they weren't football players. The Big Ten handbook specifies that a student should be paid only for useful work he is doing, that he be active on the job all the time for which he is paid, and that he be rewarded at the going rate.

Yet at Michigan State, Look contends, gridders can get $22.50 a week for putting in five hours a week on comparatively easy on-cam-pus jobs. As for Minnesota Looks says the program for off-campus, downtown jobs has been set up so that an athlete can earn $100 a month for five hours work a week during the football season and 10 hours a week at other times. When informed of this program, the Big Ten reportedly admitted that its legality would have to be thoroughly scrutinized. uic pie-ieievision ana pre-monopoly days. Only a few had anything left when their ring careers ended.

Jack Sharkey, the famous. Boston heavyeight of the late 1920s, is one of the fortunates who kept a nest egg for rainy days. Now 54 years old, Sharkey is living the kind of a life every athlete hopes he can follow some day. He fishes and hunt the year around. He works just enough to keep himself busy and to break the monotony of nothing but fun.

Tonight, he's acting as referee for the big team wrestling match between the Russians and the Vern Gagne-Leo Nomellini duo. "Why do I do it?" he asked the question himself. "Because I like it," came his own answer. "I admire those grapplers. They can kid all they want about them, but they put out.

Those who predicted. a "different" type of game hitite so far been dead right.

LAST SUMMER when tlii Millers set an all-time team record of 241 home runs, a total of 256 baseballs were prop elled out of Nicollet park in 8Q games by Minneapolis and the visiting clubs. That was an average o.fi more than three per game and' the Millers who blasted 152 at home averaged nearly two. The new stadium field, 316; at the foul lines and 405 in center with only an eight-foot fence, didn't sound too tough a range for the sluggers. But with tricky winds a factor, the fence has so stoutly resisted the efforts of the American Association strong boys that only 77 home runs have been hit here (one of them inside the park) in 48 games, an average of about a homer and a half. The Millers have hit 46 of them; the oppo- sition only 31.

He was champion from 1932-33. Now he still has all of his faculties and really is enjoying life. "I made one mistake," Jack admitted.

"That was my comeback career that ended up with Joe Louis knocking me out. I had more sense than to try it but it was the old story of the gang talking roe into one more fling."

In an article in the current issue of the magazine, on sale at the newsstands Thursday, Look contends: That Western conference schools are finding ways to circumvent their code because it is too restrictive.

That Ron Kramer, Michigan's All-American end, is receiving a $560 grant although his grades do not make him scholastically eligible for such assistance. That the legality of Minnesota's work program for athletes will be studied at a special meeting of the Big Ten (in Chicago Saturday and Sunday). Because the Big Ten rules provided that athletes must work at regular jobs to help send them through school, its coaches are finding that there just aren't enough hours in the day for an athlete to come out for football, study, and also work DOING jheadliner, first bout 8:30 p.m. at Minneapolis auditorium.

"But I was no more out of the service than promoters offered me $700 for my first fight. I never knew there was so much money on any job. I took it. I won. By the time I had my seventh pro scrap, I was drawing down $4,000.

The Coast Story USUALLY WHEN A COLLEGE or an athletic conference gets into difficulties with violations of rules, the first step always has been to cover things up as quickly as possible.

Not so with the Pacific Coast conference. This group not only has made public all charges and penalties against violators but has put all the facts in pamphlet form and distributed it nationally to any one who has the slightest interest. This pamphlet is quite a documentation. In fact it is so complete that if the NCAA decides to get into this situation its investigator need only read the published and official records to have all the necessary information. By publicly putting the facts on the line, we doubt whether the Pacific Coast faculty directors or presidents can do much about lessening the punishment handed out to the guilty parties.

The pamphlet makes it plain the league's own rules, adopted several years back, hold the athletic directors and coaches almost completely responsible for enforcement. How many schools will punish them? St Just put the A Vic York Yankees against their keenest challenger and they take care of the situation immediately as the White Sox and Cleveland have learned this year, t-. Where Is Barnes? THE TORONTO AND ST. LOUIS baseball clubs should be satisfied now with all of their conniving on pitcher Frank Barnes. They pushed the young pitching prospect around so much in moving him from one club to another that no one is getting any use out of him.

Barnes apparently has decided to stay in his Mississippi home until he knows he's going to get a fair deal. If this isn't a case for Commissioner Ford Frick, baseball never has had one.

Archie was due to arrive at noon today from New York and will go to cen-terfield tonight. Manager Eddie Stanky, after taking a penicillin shot for his cold last night, said he was tired of all this rain and observed that "these slow tracks are bad for us.

They mess up our style of play." The rainout makes it necessary to play five games with Louisville in three nights, another doubleheader being scheduled Wednesday and a single game Thursday. Curt Barclay will hold over as the starter in one game tonight with probably Pete Burnside going in the other. Louisville's Max Carey said Vibart Clark would pitch the first game and that he would "wait and see about the second." GENERAL MANAGER Rosy Ryan still was hoping for word from New York on the possibility of getting a couple of pitchers as the deadline for the majors recalling optioned players (midnight tonight) neared. The Millers still have until Aug. 15 to get major help.

Meanwhile Denver pulled six games ahead of Indianapolis and 10 ahead of Minneapolis by rallying twice to defeat Wichita 8-6 in 10 innings while the Indians were bowing 8-4 to Omaha.

Adcock.

who is hitting .455 against the Dodgers for the season, has smashed eight homers in the last seven games against them, and has nine for the season off Dodger hurlers. "ANYBODY CAN HIT in that ball park here," said Adcock. "The ball travels good, the fences are nothing. You know if you get good wood on it, it'll bounce off a fence or go into the seats." Adcock drilled a 3-0 pitch by Roger Craig, never before beaten at Ebbets field, into a deep sector of the upper stands in left centerfield in the fifth inning with Aaron on base. "I was more or less on my own," said Adcock about the 3-0 pitch.

"He (Manager Fred Haney) told me I could hit it if it looked good to me. It was inside so I swung. I hit a 3-0 in Philadelphia last Friday, too, for a home run." Another Brave hero was Bob Buhl who needed relief help had to be something like that. Just the fact that I was running on a curve had nothing to do with it.
