(N.C) DAILY TIMB-NIWS, THURSDAY, JAN. 10, Iff? 4 NCAA Sticks With Penalties, May Strengthen Recruiting Rules County Play At Halfway Mark With TUts Friday Alamanee County Conference basketball teams reach the halfway point in the 1956-57 schedule with the completion of four rounds of play tomorrow night. With the contests Friday each of the nine teams in the circuit will have had a crack at each of the other teams. Sylvan draws the odd lot in tomorrow night's action. Haw River plays two at Elon, Alexander Wilson travels to E.

M. Holt, unbeat- Folley Gets Split Win Over Bethea SYRACUSE, N.Y. Folley left his boxing door open today, saying he'd fight "anybody." The Arizona boxer, although floored in the seventh round, scored his 28th victory in 31 starts last night at the War Memorial Auditorium with a split decision over slugger Wayne Bethea in their 10-round, nationally televised bout. Bethea now has a 13-8 record. Bethea outweighed his opponent 204V4 to 192, but Folley overcame the margin with his counterpunching and body attack.

Folley, who said he was never in- trouble during the fight which drew a scant 1,254 who paid $2,688 stunned his mauling opponent in the fourth round with a vicious attack to the head But Bethea weathered the best Folley could throw and as late as the seventh round sent Folley to the floor for a nine count. Judge Dick Albmo and Referee Lou Scozza gave Folley a 5-4-1 margin while Judge Dick a i saw it 5-4-1 in favor of Bethea. The AP card favored Folley 5-3-2. Furman Beats Wildcats To Claim Second By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Furman's Purple Paladins are back in second place in the Southern Conference basketball race, and there won't be another change en Mebane is at Eli Whitney and Altamahaw Ossipee entertains Pleasant Grove. There were no surprises in Tuesday's round of play.

Haw River swept a pair from Eli Whitney, Mebane continued the class of the loop by downing E. M- Holt, Altamahaw Ossipee got back in the winners' circle with a pair over Elon and the Alexander Wilson Eagles rolled to a one-sided victory over Sylvan while the Wilson girls dropped a decision to the league-leader. The rounds start all over again next Tuesday night with the completion of the first half of the schedule tomorrow. With the teams playing each other for the second time there will be the added incentive of vengence for those who were beaten in the first games. Mebane, with seven straight triumphs without a defeat, should easily make it eight in a row against Whitney tomorrow night.

It appears now that about the only thing standing in the way of a repeat of last year's championship for the Tigers is the tough Wilson team. The Eagles gave Mebane a close battle in their first meeting and the loop members will be watching the rematch a week from Friday to see if the tough Tigers can be stopped. Sylvan, Haw River and Mebane girls lead the pack in the girls' bracket. Haw River trails Sylvan by one game going into the contest against Elon tomorrow night. With Sylvan idle this round, the two teams could move into the second half of the schedule with a dual claim on the conference top spot, should Haw River do the expected and beat Elon tomorrow night.

What appears to be the closest match on tap Friday evening is the clash of Altamahaw Ossipee and Pleasant Grove. The two teams own about the same records thus far this season and the match of the two should result in a top battle. in that spot before Saturday then. if The opened this week in a deadlock position with for the runnerup Washington and Lee's Generals, each boasting a 3-1 league record. Furman moved into sole possession Monday night by upending Virginia Tech 85-81 on the Gobblers' home court.

WL came back on its home floor Tuesday night, however, to edge the Citadel 72-69 and regain a tie, each team then sporting a 4-1 record. But the Paladins upped their mark to 5-1 last night with a 104-85 romp over Davidson--Furman's ninth straight victory over the Wildcats since 1952 and Davidson's 12th straight defeat this season.

(AP Wircphoto) Bears, Giants, Lions Dominate Honor Squad Letter Of Intent Bind Dismissed More Restrictive Legislation May Come Tomorrow By HUGH FULLERTON JR ST. LOUIS UP The National Collegiate A. A. probably will strengthen its rules on amateurism and recruiting of athletes tomorrow but there is very little likelihood that any sort of contract system will be adopted to keep colleges from snatching the brightest athletic prospects from each other. The trend toward tightening con- tols was reflected in discussions leading up to a second day of debate today and the business session tomorrow at which further restrictive legislation will be considered.

During yesterday's sessions: 1. The NCAA council refused to modify a lot of penalties inflicted on three Pacific Coast Conference colleges which had asked for a lighter load based on a conference decision. 2. The American Football Coaches closely allied with the NCAA, handed out unprecedented penalties. 3.

Faculty representatives turned a very cold shoulder on suggestion for a national "letter of intent" program which would bind prospective athletes to one school. Request Denied Saturday night with a chance to improve its hold on second place. A defeat at the hands of the surprising Bulldogs would dump the Paladins to third. Coach Lyles Alley used his entire 15-man squad last night against Davidson and 10 of them four in double figures. Furman took a 56-33 halftime lead and was in front by 95-69 with four minutes to go.

Dick Wright led the Paladins with 30 points, while Bob Gaines had 23 and Bill Gaines poured in 16. For the Wildcats, Dave Hollingsworth bagged 19 points, Semi Mintz had 17 and Joe Milner and Dick Weeks 15 each.

By BOB COUSY Written for NEA Service Question: A player took set shot in a high school game. Whila the ball wa sin the air, a teammate started pushing underneath the basket, and the referee caught the rule infraction. Then a defensive player jumped up and knocked the shot away. The referee called only a foul on the offensive team. Was he right? -George Caras.

Answer: No. The basket should have been awarded, too. The foul call was correct, however. Q. Is there any one officiating call that irks players more than others? A.

Yes. Calls on blocking and charging. It is hard for officials to give a consistent call on this. Strictly a judgment play, the rule now is interpreted to give the defensive man the break if a contact foul occurs when a dribbler tries to go around him. Either way the referee calls it, he screams.

Q. Did BUI Russell's quick start with the Boston Celtics surprise you? Harry Gotkin. A. Yes as far at his ability to learn quickly. We knew Russell had the potential, but few recruits in the National Basketaball Association learn things in the time he did.
