Ik Sporta by wendy Feuding NCAA and AAU Should Bury the Hatchet THE FEUD between the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) could come to a head this weekend when representatives of the two groups meet with Gen. Douglas MacArthur. mi? fe 4 fv JJ The elderly ceneral. who Kennedy as an arbitrator in this squabble, hopes for a peaceful settlement.

But if the two warring factions can't agree amicably, Mac-Arthur will be expected to offer a formula and the rival groups will be expected to abide by it. Control of Track Is Cause of Fight THE COALS of this feud have been smoldering for some time and were only stirred to the boiling point in recent months when the NCAA brought the battle into the open by defying the authority of the AAU. The AAU long has been recognized by the various international sports federations as the governing body of U.S. amateur sports. And the AAU has ruled U.S.

amateur sports with an iron hand. Meanwhile, the NCAA has grown into a full-fledged group Enquirer and News Photo. PREPARING FOR NEW SPORT These two youngsters are trying out plastic hockey sticks in preparation for the introduction of the new indoor hockey game here Saturday morning.

He patterned it after regular hockey but with no skates.

Several experimental games have been played, by junior high students, to test the equipment and check out rules. Those who participated praise the game highly. An entirely new athletic game. designed for youngsters, will be introduced by the department of civic recreation Saturday. This new game is called indoor hockey.

It is played with plastic sticks and pucks. No skates of any kind are worn. This new hockey game is played with reg ular gymnasium shoes. Fast Game It is fast, rugged but not rough, safe and exciting. colleges.

The NCAA feels it should have more say-so in athletic policies since it provides the big part of the country's athletic talent. The AAU didn't want to lose any of its powers so the battle was on. The big hassle was control over track and field meets which' are the No. 1 attraction of the Olympic Games. The two groups bickered back and forth and it all boiled down to an argument similar to a couple of neighborhood kids which goes something like this: If I (NCAA) can't have more say-so about how this thing is going to be run you can't come in my yard (college field-houses) and play.

Not only that but I won't let any of my friends (the college athletes) compete in your (AAU) games. On the other side, the AAU believes that if you (NCAA) don't play under my rules then I won't let you play when it comes time for the big party (the Olympics). Collegiate Athletes Boycott AAU Meets THAT'S THE WAY it stacks up at present. The government has tried to intervene and Atty. Gen.

Robert Kennedy attempted to affect a truce. This was defied by the AAU when it refused to OK the so-called coalition at its convention claiming the NCAA was being given too much power. In an effort to overthrow the powerful AAU body in track, the NCAA organized its own federation in track and field. The NCAA decreed that none of its collegiate athletes were to compete in AAU-sponsored track meets. The first "pressure" was felt last Saturday night at the initial AAU meet of the season the Knights of Columbus games in the Boston Garden.

The NCAA's boycott was 100 per cent with the exception of the University of Maryland which defied the ban. The result was a mef that drew only a handful of athletes. Some of the outstanding track stars of the U.S. com-. peted.

But they were those who had completed their collegiate competition. Such stars as Olympian Hayes Jones, former Eastern Michigan University star hurdler, and ex-world high jump record holder John Thomas both admitted they had lost all incentive to compete in indoor track meets because of the lack of competition. Each felt he could have produced better marks competing against some of the outstanding collegians. Hurting Our Chances in the Olympics THE REAL CONCERN by the government is that this hassle between the two warring groups will be reflected on the U.S. track team in the 1964 Olympics as well as the approaching Pan-Am Games.

An immediate settlement is vital to our lofty perch as a world track power which is being more keenly tested by the Russians in each succeeding Olympics. Let's hope that Gen. MacArthur can make the two factions see eye-to-eye when they confer this weekend. If not, let his formula be the pattern by which both the NCAA and AAU must abide.

To Provide Program Harter plans to set up a Satur day program of indoor hockey conducted by civic recreation.

He said, "This activity will cov er the age group that falls into our junior baseball federation pro gram in the summer months. At the present time there -is no ap pealing activity that fills the need for this group on Saturdays. We feel this program will fill this gap." He added that civic recreation plans to expand this indoor hockey program to include junior high level students later on. Foul Shots Included Very little equipment is needed. There will be six players on each team.

Each game will consist of three eight-minute quarters. Scor ing will run somewhat higher than regular hockey. Foul shots are a big factor in this new game. Harter estimates that it will cost civic recreaction only about $30 in equipment to outfit two teams to play. He designed and reshaped plastic hockey sticks that he purchased through a sales booklet.

No game appeared with the booklet so Harter toyed with the idea of patterning a game after hockey, using the plastic sticks. This new program is free. Civic recreation will furnish all equip ment that is needed. MORE GO IN SNOW fa, FREE MOUNTING! NO MONEY DOWN! 4T INSULATED UNDERWEAR WITH THIS 73 99 COUPON NEW YORK (UPI) Star tac kle Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions may get his opportunity today to explain a televised statement that he bef on at least one pro football game to National Football League Commissioner Pete Rozelle. Rozelle refused to disclose when Karras will actually be called on the carpet but he warned that "a serious breach of league rules" may have taken place and reports were that he will confront the 245-pound play er sometime today.

"Alex Karras will be given an opportunity to explain published Boston Bruins Jar Chicago Hawks By United Press International It's Guy Gendron as far as his Boston Bruin teammates are concerned but gee whiz to the National Hockey League leading Chi cago Black Hawks. The Bruins have won only eight games all season but they've beat en the first-place Hawks by 5-4 scores in their last two meetings. And both were as a result of two goals by Gendron. Gendron did it for the second straight time Wednesday night. connecting with his second goal with less than six minutes to go to snap a 44 tie.

The Bruins came from behind twice Jerry Toppazzini scoring in the first period to produce one tie and Warren Godfrey tallying with 12 minutes to go for a 4-4 tie. Murray Oliver scored the other Boston goal. The Black Hawk goals were tal lied by Elmer Vasko, Stan Miki- ta. Wavne Hillman and Eric Nes- terenko. The Bruins now trail the fifth-place New York Rangers by five points.

SHIRTS by duofold First step in introducing the new sport to the Battle Creek area statements attributed to him said Rozelle. "Such action consti tutes a serious breach of the player contract and the constitu tion and by-laws of the league. In Karras interview with an NBC television reporter, he was asked: "Do you bet on ball games?" 'I have bet on a ball game, answered Karras. Bet on Game 'Have you ever bet on a ball game in which you were play ing?" he was asked. "Yes, I have, replied Karras.

Karras said he "assumed" there was widespread betting on NFL games by coaches, manag ers and owners but stoutly de fended the integrity of the game and insisted he never had seen an indication of point-shaving. "I know of none whatsoever in this league," he said. "I think the boys play too hard to be shaving points. Casual Associations "I can't even conceive that idea because it isn't a sport where it is an individual effort," answered Karras when asked if it were possible to shave points in NFL competition. "There's 11 football players both defense and offense and sure a quarterback has probably complete control of the ball game but so does the referee, so does your best receiv er, so does your best defensive tackle." Karras also admitted some persons with whom he "associated" in Detroit might be "in fact undesirable" but said his associa tion with them was in the casual course of visiting a restaurant or saying hello to them in his own bar.
