The business is in the multi-million dollar bracket. It looks like a soft touch, so lures promoters of ail levels. Inevitably, abuses develop and create a demand for, tighter re Wednesday, Dec.

12, 1962 2C strictions. By TOMMY DEVINE Miami Sportt Editor Gotham Bowl promoter Bob Curran failed tp meet his noon deadline for advancing the University of Miami and Nebraska $60,000 for expenses for their expenses to New York. The week-long confusion was increased when the latest in a long series of promises was not kept. Unless Curran worked some 11th hour financial magic it appeared the game would be cancelled, Dr. Henry King Stanford, President of the University of Miami, was firm in his stand the Hurricane squad would not The two-season fiasco of the Gotham Bowl, the flop of the 1961 Liberty Bowl and the unsuccessful venture of some other promotions will lead to more stringent regulations by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and probably fewer post-season games.

The squad certainly is deserving of the trip off its season's record, but we can't do it from our own funds." leave the campus unless Gotham Bowl officials put the money in escrow.

tomorrow. "The University of Miami can not undertake the risk of BYERS JACK HARDING He' Against Going Dr. Stanford said he was not disposed to delay the final decision much longer. "I plan to confer by. telephone late this afternoon with Clifford M.

Hardin, Chancellor of the University of Nebraska. We will compare notes on the situation and then reach a mutual decision. It certainly doesn't look good." Late yesterday Curran termed the Miami and Nebraska demands for the expense guarantees as "annoying." He pledged however, the advances would be made. Grave doubt of the ability of the Gotham Bowl officials to provide the $60,000 arose however, following a telephone conference between Jack Harding, the Hurricanes' Athletic Director, and Erie Javits, an attorney for the game's promoters. "My surmise after talking with Javits twice was that they did not have the money.

Their apparent hope of getting it was to sell the television rights," Harding said. Despite all the controversy and confusion, Curran had not talked with Harding since last Saturday. "There is no disposition on my part for the squad to make the trip unless we have the $30,000 advance," Harding said. U'M President Plans Talk With Nebraska "The final decision, however, rests with Dr. Stanford.

My own judgment would be 'No'." The last hope for a television contract apparently was with Bill MacPhail and the Columbia Broadcasting System. MacPhail agreed to take a "24 hour look" at the telecasting possibilities yesterday. A CBS spokesman at noon today said: "We haven't agreed as of now to handle the gam. I don't know if we will." Since Curran'! bargaining strength on the television contract is extremely limited, sources doubted if the network would pay as much as the the Gotham Bowl officials need immediately.

Toughic9 Collins Foe For Luis Tonight iv oV A' 11 1 Walter Ryers, Executive Director of the NCAA, revealed during an interview yesterday a comprehensive survey of the entire Bowl game program will be undertaken. "The study will attempt to correlate the number of teams which are available for post-season competition, in both our University and College divisions.with the number of Bowl games which should be sanctioned," Bycrs says. There are 140 major teams playing football in the University division.

The college division this is primarily the smaller institutions has 370 schools competing. "Take the 140 major teams as the base figure and let me show you how it shrinks quickly to reduce the number of Bowl possibilities," Byers says. "First, poor season records eliminate a high percentage from consideration. Second, some Conferences, like the Ivy League, prohibit post-season play entirely. Others, like the Big Ten, restrict post-season competition to its champion." OraiiKC Second Oldest IJowl The Bowl business is firmly established as a vital part of the collegiate football picture.

Outside of business, no one ever tried to pick a fight with Luis until yesterday. WRONG POSE A photographer wanted the traditional pre-fight pose, with the combatants squared off around a punching bag. Collins insisted on a photo which featured his fist and Rodriguez' chin. "That's where I'm going to hit him tomorrow night anyway," said Collins. This didn't bother Luis, but An-gelo Dundee, who handles Rodriguez, was rattled.

It is neither fair, nor reasonable, to say the post-season program should be limited to this group, however.

There are some newcomers, like i the Sun Bowl at Tucson and the Bluebonnet at Houston, which have demonstrated skill in their J' handling and stability in their operation. There has however, been some reckless and irresponsible expansion. It was this which originally brought the NCAA into the picture back in 1949. i "The year before we stepped in to regulate post-season play and require the games be tioned, there were 31 Bowl contests," Byers says. "This year we sanctioned 15." i More Safeguards Needed One of the games sanctioned the Nation-4 al Trophy game at Washington fell by the wayside early.

It couldn't lure teams. In view of developments which have entan-f gled the University of Miami and Nebraska in the i Gotham Bowl, some obvious weak spots in the i'NCAA regulations have been spotlighted. Recommendations the NCAA Survey Com-rmittee should consider include: A requirement promoters post a bond of from $25,000 to $50,000 annually for the first five 3 years of a Bowl's operation to assure minimum payments to the competing teams. A sanction fee of at least $10,000 for any new Bowl game. The fee would be held in escrow 4 by the NCAA and refunded if the promotion ran five consecutive seasons.

j-' Financial Requirements Poor I Under the present NCAA regulations, Bowl operators like Bob Curran of the Gotham Bowl, do not have to guarantee Miami or Nebraska a thin i dime. "We always have taken the viewpoint guar-l, antees are a matter to be bargained between the 'competing schools and the Bowl promoter," Byers says. "Our only financial stipulation is that 75 "per cent of the gross gate and television receipts must be divided between the1 teams." Vn fortunately, there now isn't any deadline for when Bowl promoters must make Harding of the Hurricanes had to wait seven I' months. Colleges nominally have a voice in the ad- ministration and supervision of every Bowl -game, but in reality it is rather meaningiess. Under NCAA regulations, each Bowl game must have two collegiate representatives, one a faculty member and the other an athletic official, on its Administrative Board.

The Gotham Bowl 1 proceedings demonstrate rather clearly there i wasn't anyone speaking to protect the interests of Miami or Nebraska.
