UPh The International Olympic Committee Thursday cracked down hard on "state subsidrzed by their' governments and on college athletes receiving scholarships based on athletic ability. It banned both types from future "Olympic v' ply with the rules of the international a i concerned, and the official interpretations of this Rule No. 26." Brundage said that it will be up to the Amateur Athletic Union in the Unit-; ed States to enforce the new rules, thereby giving it another powerful weapon in its current battle with the National ,7 Athletic Association over control of track and field.

C. liberalized its views on "broken time" and authorized national Olympic committees to make a contribution to dependents of athletes in hardship cases where the absence of a wage earner would cause suffering. In his letter Brundage told national committees around the world: I games. Rigidly applied, the new rule would "disqualify about half of the American Olympic team," said Avery Brundage, International Olympic president The International Committee sent a summary of the new amateur rule to national Olympic committees and international federations with a covering letter that stated "these rules are designed to eliminate all athletes who are being subsidized because of their athletic ability. "This applies to athletes who have been placed in the armed forces or who' have been given jobs of any kind with little or nothing to do but train for sport, to college boys who have been given scholarships because of their athletic ability.

Iowa, Iowa State and Drake are all getting fjne mileage out of football Imports from the Motor City and its suburbs. As a former Detroit prep coach, the Hawkeyes Jerry Burns had the friendly contacts to land Gus Kasapis, Bobby Grier and Bob Le-Zotte of his first three units, along with sophomores Grant Friley and Phil Deutsch. On the other hand, a former enemy steered three of Drake's best to the Bulldogs pom Detroit Eastern High School: guard Lou Procter, hacks Billy Harper and Charlie Louis. Iowa State's recruiting didn't reach into Detroit proper, but the suburbs yielded Larry Montre (Dearborn), sturdy end. and Norm Taylor (Ypsilanti), prize sophomore tackle.

Follower THERE were six Detroit Eastern products in the state's upper-level football until first Henry Carr, then Felton Rogers, regular end last year, were academic casualties at Iowa. Without the influence of Rogers, though, the Hawk-eyes wouldn't have a high-geared right halfback who is scheduled for lots of work against Oregon State Saturday. "Felton and I grew up in the same neighborhood and were close friends," said Bobby Grier. "When he chose Iowa, I followed him out here the next year." This is the third year at Iowa for Grier, but his first healthy one. "He never had a chance to show what he could do before because of injuries," said Burns.

"Now he's sound and he's come along fast. He'll be heard from." Shy But Sure TN CONVERSATION, the round-faced Grier is heard from in a manner that borders on shyness. He is quiet, intense but confident. "I always felt," he said matter-of-factly, "that when I got the chance, I could make the ball club." The chance was denied last year by a shoulder separation and by the aggravation of an idle injury that had idled him most of his freshman season. Grier, a winning 440-yard dashman in high school, has both the speed and the-size to fit into Iowa's new "floating offense.

"I see Tm listed at 185," he said, "but I really weigh 198." Bobby's only regret about his stldden rise is that "Felton and I can't play on the first team together." While Grier is carrying on the neighborhood foot-hall prestige, Rogers is preparing to become a Detroit policeman. "He's passed the first examination for the police academy," said Grier. Friend Now MERTES Detroit benefactor is a man Bus once regarded with extreme distaste. "Albert Richman sent us Procter, Harper and Louis," said Bus. "The first time I saw him, I was coaching at Bradley and Richman was a halfback at Toledo U.

He ran 60 yards for a touchdown against us. "He's head coach at a Detroit high school now, but he handled Grier and Harper and Louis when he was backfield coach at Eastern. "I don't know why he thought of me, but he wrote and told me the three boys could be regulars at Drake. "I'm sure ready to forgive him now for that 60-yard run."

UP) Sonny Liston left for his Philadelphia home Thursday with the heavyweight championship and no money. The newly -crowned champion's purse has been held up temporarily by the government's attachments. Although he said he didn't have any cash in his pockets, Liston showed a rich sense of humor. Seated in a limosine taking him to the airport, Liston said, "I really should be hitch-hiking." When asked his real age whether it was 28 or 30 his wife, Geraldine, giggled and started to answer.

Liston then said: "Don't tell him honey, I'm gonna be like Archie Moore and maybe I'll last as long." 10 DAY PRICE REDUCTION On Our r'TOV'" Famous 10 Star Furnace Cleaning CALL NOW SAVE MONEY AVOID FUEL WASTE Chei. van Dycfc, tr LENNOX FEDDERS WHOLESALE RETAIL Van Dyck Furnace Co.

Against Iowa State Baker threw for three touchdowns and "Adverse criticism of the Olympic Games has been limited. Most of it has been cause of the alleged presence of so called 'state amateurs' (competitors given special subsidies for athletic prowess by governments) and of competitors given scholarships and other benefits because of their athletic ability, neither of which are amateur and both of which are thereby ineligible." Brundage, long a champion of simon pure amateurism, has now embarked on what could be the toughest of his long career. He is backed by the power and prestige of the International Olympic Committee which has absolute control over conduct of the Olympic Games.

Brundage made it plain that as far as control of track and field in the United States is concerned, the A. A. U. is supreme. He brushed aside claims of the new rebel track federation to control the sports With only the A.

The 26-year-old Brooklyn-born pitching star insisted there no longer is any pain in the left index finger that suddenly underwent a vascular disturbance (loss of circulation) about six weeks ago. "It's just annoying," he said. "I've been assured there is no danger of any harm to the finger by pitching." Third Try This marks Koufax's third mound appearance since his long layoff.

He was wild in two innings of relief last week and threw a home run ball to Charlie James of St. Louis after walking three batters in the first inning in a starting role against St. Louis last Friday. "The finger didn't bother me," he said. "I was just wild due to the long layoff.
