10 CCEK5eKhrf Tuesday, March 18, 1975 Compromise Reached With NIT Jackson, PUSH Take Aim At NCAA, Bowls IT GREER-877-9638 fj W. AND THE DIXIE DANCCXINCS" NEW YORK (AP) The Rev. Jesse Jackson called the NCAA "racist" Monday and warned that a black boycott of the college football bowl games may be the next target of groups striving for racial equality. "The NCAA is not fair," the head of Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity) insisted. "The colleges don't have black head coaches.

They will select an assistant coach grudgingly but they don't consider the black man to be head coach or athletic director. "We found that the selection committees for the various bowl games are almost totally white. This is a situation we intend to change." Jackson made his statement informalJv at a press conference after disclosing a compromise with l.adison Square Garden on the issue of giving black colleges a role in the National Baketball Tournament. Jackson's organization had threatened to picket the NIT, now in progress at the Garden, because of the absence of a black institution in the field. At a morning meeting with Michael Burke, Garden president, and Peter Carlesimo of Fordham University, Jackson gained a promise that recommendations would be made for a change next year.

Under the agreement, two athletic directors from black colleges would be elected to the NIT Selection Committee, at least one black institution would be invited to compete in future NIT events and the New York Operation PUSH would play a supportive role in the promotion of future tournaments. Jackson suggested that Earl Banks of Morgan State and Eddie Robinson of Grambling be considered for posts on the NIT Selection Committee. The civil rights leader said the NIT pressure was part of a national program to break down racial barriers extending beyond the playing field. "Jackie Robinson helped open the door for black players but blacks are not exercising their roles in interpreting these events or in making decisions," he added. "Look down the press rows they are lily white.

The blacks have not progressed as they should as owners and general managers. "It is not our purpose to break up the bowls just as it is not our purpose to break up the NIT. We use these events as platforms to point up that we will not be cut out of an industry." Jackson said PUSH was following a program not of aggressive racism but benign racism. "I applaud a man like Dave DeBusschere advancing to an executive position (with the New York Nets) but I worry about the Willie Reeds and the Earl Monroes. I worry about Ernie Banks not even getting a baseball coaching job in Chicago.

Jack Pardee (new coach of the Chicago Bears football team) has just announced his staff of assistants, all white. "This is a game of Xs and Os. We need both."

Gibson had signed Sunday with Coach Lefty Priesell of Maryland, but the announcement was made at a news conference called by Dunbar High School. "I like and the competition they play," Gibson said.

"I've been leaning toward Maryland all along." Gibson, a 6-foot-10 center who averaged 24 points and 20 rebounds a game during his senior year, had been contacted by more than 200 universities and colleges and scouted by some pro teams.

There seems little question that Dawkins, a muscular 244-pounder, is strong enough to play with the pros.
