WISTfRN HIINOH Wednesday MORNING DEMOCRAT April 8. 1953 "iill-iiwniiiiiiiiv'i fflfliU(6)' 4 lnJl( Braves Arrive In Milwaukee, Their New Home Sparks Rally Iowa Sprinq JOHN O'DONNELL'S ehmits Can a school get along in athletics without athletic scholarships? Yes, hut not as well is, there will be many athletes who won't be participating in college athletics. Many kids who are gifted in sports come from poor families who cannot afford to send their boys to college. There are mans' more who need a job 1o furnish the wherewithall to pay the bills.

During the football season, for instanre, a kid can't bo in hvo places at the same lime on the practice field and in a restaurant. If he wants an education, he'll have to give up football. If the NCA has its way, as an attraction, college sports may have seen their best days. The skill won't be there. Naturally, there will be much fun left to enjoy.

There will be contests. The big league atlitudv will be missing. Maybe it will all be for the best. The pressure will be taken off the coaches. Their jobs will last longer.

Tht alumni won't be as promi nent in tiie scheme of things. Of course, there could be a way out. The school could oiler promising athletes scholarships for playing in the band. It wouldn't lake too much for a tackle to learn how to play he drums or lor a halfback to toot the saxophone. They wouldn't have to be good musicians.

They could sit on the bench when the regulars gave the concerts. Sports would be incidental, as far as the NCA was concerned. The athletes could take their instruments onto the fields and practice during the rest periods. It will lit interesting to discover if prep stars will get offers in the future. All colleges don't belong to the NCA.

Those outside the pale may- attract the cream of the talent. spirits Uneasy days apparently are ahead for directors of athletics and alhletic coaches. They are scheduled to be caught in the crossfire between the North Central Association and TV. The first wants to cut the ground from under athletics by abolishing athletic scholarships. The second W'shes to be in a position to bring to the public the games it so desires.

There are headaches ahead. There are JUS schools in the North Central Association, the organization which wields the big stick on the scholastic side. If it puts the nix on a school, the credits from that school are no good. When the credits are no good, the diploma means nothing. When that happens the students are in the tub, The NCA put the whammy on the Oklahoma Aggies, and they had to cry uncle.

The proxy made the solemn por-mise to the NCA that henceforth all athletic scholarships at the school would be abandoned. And ho shoundod the warning that all other schools would hae to follow suit if they were to abide by the rules. That rather doses the gale. If the Oklahoma Aggies arc to be slapped flown, can the oilier schools disobey the laws and get by with it? Or will they take the tip and get their houses in order as dictated by the NCA? Incidentally, the NCA is not to be confused with the NCAA, which is the Nalional Collegiate Athletic Association. The NCA is not frowning on scholarships awarded to musicians historians, public speakers, scientists, etcetera.

The association believes those scholarships arc to be encouraged. The gripe of the educatiors is at the athletes. They are the unholy guys when allowed to accept gratuities. If a young fellow can work his way through school by looting the bassoon, that is okay. If a young fellow tries to make his way via end runs or forward passes, he may not get any help from the school.

It is a bit difficult to follow the line of reasoning, hut the educators say there is a marked I V31t rR Grid Drills Start Monday I Top Job: Shift i Of Offense For No-Platoon Rule By HILL IMC (Staff Correspondent) IOWA CITY, la.
