Probe Reports 'Undesirables' Attempting To Control Ring Title DON TERBUSH FRESHMAN RULE COULD HURT HSC MOST Far Western Conference coaches held their' annual spring meet- over the weekend and most of Hie developments were of a more or less routine nature. Chico State was named as host for the ammual'Christmas tournament which will be held December 28-29-30. and Willamette will be the two "outside" teams. Humboldt State and Willamette will meet in Ihe opening game. ii- Sacramento Slate will be the scene of Ihe Far Western Conference cross country championships November 21st.

And finally, it was agreed that NCAA rules will be followed in football. The only exception is that "free substitution" will again be allowed. However, of particular significance to Humboldt State was the announcement that effective in I960 freshmen will not be allowed to participate on varsity teams in the FWC. It wasn't, but that ruling could have been aimed at the heart of the Humboldt State athletic program. Had it been in effect this year you could have written off the Lumberjacks' track and field championship as their tremendous showing in football, basketball and baseball.

In fact, it would have greatly decreased the efficiency of ALL HSC teams. Now what we propose would be a freshman ruling based on enrollment figures. The "small" conference schools would (hen have the option of playing freshman athletes on their teams. The Collegiate Athletic Conference recently did just that. conference numbers 110 members.

It was decided that freshmen rule waivers would' be restricted to its colleges with 500 or less male undergraduates which support an athletic program embracing at two fall, three winter and three spring sports. On that basis varsity competition for freshman athletes was approved for 24 member schools. The Far Western Conference could adopt a similar policy and thus the Lumberjacks could continue to hold their own with schools with an enrollment five times the size of the Hilltop institution. Incidentally, Humboldt State isn't sending out any SOS's on this particular subject. On the contrary, Humboldt State athletic officials went right atorig with the conference vote when the matter came up at tile recent meeting.

But we feel that since none of the FWC schools have (he money for full freshman schedules anyway, the outstanding first-year athletes at the smaller schools might also stand to benefit by such a waiver rule. BATTIN' THE BREEZE McANINCH has been named "Athlete of the Year" by the Humboldt State campus magazine Hilltopper.
