Faga Ten NCAA Votes To Bar Live Game Televising By JOHNSON U. P. Sports Writer DAJLLAS, Tex. Nation Collegiate Athletic association votes today to bar live telecasting of intercollegiate football games for at least one year. A heavy majority of N.C.A.A members were ready to go along as general sessions of the organ ization's annual convention opened with the report of its committee on television.

The committee, headed by Athletic Director Tom Hamilton 01 Pittsburgh, found: "Live telecast ing of college football games has an adverse effect on gate receipts and, if not controlled, seriouslj threatens the whole structure oi intercollegiate athletics." The television industry was represented here, but the voices of its ambassadors were drowned out. Their argument was that any bad effect on TV on football gate receipts was temporary, stemming from "novelty" of the new medium, and in the long run TV would benefit the gridiron gaj-- by quickening viewer appreciation of its fine points and creating desire to see it played in the stadium. A a i this argument, the N.C.A.A. committee laid down the findings of the National Opinion Research center, a. University of Chicago agency which it commissioned to study TV and football gate receipts.

At 188 schools, within range of TV, football attendance in 1950 dropped 4.2 percent from record levels of 1947-'4S, the center reported. Wilbur Johns of the University of California at Los Angeles interjected another argument. Even students, he said, have fallw" under the spell of video. "They would rather form TV parties, watch the game that way and save themselves for the dance that follows," Johns said.

Both teams won easily last night, making three victories apiece in loop competition. Having the easiest time of it the Frangos team, which handed out a 69 to 15 walloping to Eschbach's Music House. With Larson and Evenson each getting nine field goals and with Moore adding seven others, the Frangos team never was in trouble.

Larson topped the scoring A A I I with 19 points for the winners, who hit for 34 field goals as compared w'ith seven for the losers. The Skeie club, which didn't unleash near the scoring punch of its companion first place team, did go the Frangos team one better in its meeting with the Wayside Inn team. The Skeie team limited the losers to but 14 points, petting 25, with Clark leading the scoring with eight points. In other games last night, chief interest was in the scoring of the league's two offensive leaders, Kelley, of Tom's Grill, and Strum, of the Highway commission team. Kelley, leading the league, counted 11 points as the Tom's Grili team stopped Thompson Construction, 48 to 27.

But Strum, trailing Kelley by much, pulled a. bit more when he got 14 points as the Commission lost to the Ames Sport Shop, 35 to '2'.

(U.P.) College athletics controversial Sanity Code may travel its last mile today. All indications at the annual convention of the National Collegiate Athletic association pointed to the end of the trail for the three year old section of the N.C.A.A. constitution which was designed primarily to purify big- time football.

The first general session of the convention is scheduled this afternoon. afte- several days of closed- door sessions to lay the groundwork for the actual business at hand. Out of the closed meetings came plans to knock out the code, or at least its teeth. A coalition of the Southwest, Southern, and Southeast conferences, augmented by a large bloc of eastern colleges and scattered schools from other areas went into the general meeting with what they claimed was the necessary two- thirds majority to take the N.C.A.A. out of the regulatory business.

They felt, after a caucus yesterday, that they could swing least 150 votes today to amend the constitution the way they want it. There were strange bedfellows in the coalition. Some of the schools go for all-out subsidization. Others feel that any form of financial aid to an athlete makes him a pro and do not even award scholarships to an athlete under any circumstance. FAILED? Both these extremes feel that the code, adopted three years ago, has failed and will continue to fail because of the wide variety of situations existing in different sections.

They feel the only workable solution is to let individual schools, or their conferences, do the regulating on a sectional basis. As a result they swung their sup- port behind an amendment proposed by the Southern conference, which would accomplish this purpose. But the eastern group held out for, and obtained, support to retain existing principles on recruiting. Tossed out, in this amendment, however, was the heart of the code, which limited aid to athletes to tuition and stated institutional fees. Athletes could be given jobs to pay for room and board, but their pay had to be "commensurate" with the job.

The N.C.A.A.'s policy-making council announced in advance it would drop its motion to suspend seven unidentified schools for violation of the existing code--if and when the is adopted.
