6 McCOMB ENTERPRISE-JOURNAL Wednesday, May 26, 1971 SECOfficials Opposed to Scholarship Limit Rozelle Against Has Guard Up Legalized Betting in each team's first two home conference games. ir'- llWI I fill i fc THE SUBJECT became, a concern for Rozelle when Howard Samuels, who runs New York's OTB operation-which permits legalized betting on horse rac ing at betting parlors away from the track-publicly stated a natural extension would be betting on team sports. The concern increased with the knowledge that other local, es are considering legalizing such betting, raising staggering possibilities. The NFL draws an average 700,000 people to its stadiums every weekend and as many as 20 to 30 million watch a Monday night game on tele, vision. 'So I turned around and told them I didn't mind them sitting in the seats, but to knock it off.

And they kept quiet during the third and fourth quarters. But as soon as the gun sounded en. ding the game, I felt a tap on my shoulder. "I turned around- and that's when I got a belt in the chops." Rozelle used that story to em. phasize that permitting bets on games 'Changes the character of the fan-rather than an in.

posed to a proposal to limit grants.in.aid to needy student athletes. The officials agreed Tuesday to petition the council of the National Collegiate Athletic As. sociation in opposition to trio proposal. They called on SEC school presidents to join them. Schools in the conference now award grants in major sports to athletes regardless of need.

In other action Tuesday con. ference athletic officials, con. eluding their two. day spring meeting, approved a proposal to limit the traveling squads for teams in all sports. The propos.

al requires approval by the SEC at its January meeting. Under it, varisty football traveling squads would be lim. ited to 55 players, freshman squads to 45, varsity basketball to 12, freshman basketball to 10, outdoor track to 32, indoor track to 26, cross country, ten. nis and golf to eight, baseball and swimming to 22 and wres. tling to 12.

The officials also agreed to experiment with using three of ficials in basketball, instead of two.

"I didnt have a ride when I came up here and I don't have one now," said the Mahler, of Bettendorf, Iowa. "Yet, it has been the best thing that has happened to me." Mahler qualified a car owned by Salt Lake City businessman, driver Dick Simon at 170.164 m.p.h. the fastest four Jap speed ever turned by a first year man at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

He would have started 27th in the field.

And he used the belt in the chops to illustrate the danger in the situation. RECALLING A game early in his commissionership that heat tended at New York's Yankee Stadium, Rozelle remembers two teenagers slipping in be hind him in the two empty seats in his box during the first quarter of a Giants' game. "Since the two seats weren't being used I let the kids sit there," Rozelle explained.
