of of THE KANSAS CITY TIMES, MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1952. 15- A STAND BY BIG 10 Conference Athletic Leaders to Go Ahead With Plans for Spring Training. AGAINST A. C. E.

POLICY Subsidization, Recruiting, Scholarships and Over-emphasis Also Discussed at Meeting. Chicago, March The Big Ten will hold spring football practices this seasonan issue with the American Council on Education's stern sports control program that was ignored today by the Western conference's school presidents. The presidents, in an unprecedented meeting, refrained from mentioning spring grid drills in their official statement. Athletic leaders immediately went ahead with to hold them under the unique circumstances. Little Is Accomplished.

Thus, little was accomplished -at least publicly--to iron out an athletic policy based solely on recommendations of the A. C. E. The A. C.

E. banned spring football drills. This was the only actual difference between the Big Ten athletic program and the A. C. Conference faculty representatives and athletic directors, lacking guidance from their presidents, proceeded with their original schedule of spring practices.

The presidents, in a statement that no athletic representative would attempt terpret or comment upon, praised the A. C. E. for its endeavors and said they were "impressed with the substantial area of agreement between the A. C.

E. report on athletic policy and the regulations of the intercollegiate conference (Big Ten)." They noted "with gratification certain conference standards are higher than those proposed by the A. C. See Some Action. Four major lines were listed by the presidents on which they believe action is indicated by the Big 1.

The of subTenimination sidization of athletes. 2. The elimination of recruiting methods that are contrary to conference regulations. 3. The granting of special academic favors to athletes.

4. The overemphasis on competition in athletics, especially on a national basis. Point No. 4 was assumed to! mean season games, particularly post bowl football game. The A.

C. E. has recommended that all such contests be abolished. The Big Ten's Rose bowl pact with the Pacific Coast conference has two more years to run. The Presidents did not express an opinion, as to what will happen that.

They stressed that the four points outlined needed "practical measures of enforcement." "The great difficulty is seen to lie in the difference between agreed upon objectives and the means of securing such the Presidents' statement said. "'The presidents are to meet again in the near future to consider these matters." Ralph Aigler, faculty sentatives the University of Michigan, said that the Big Ten now has acted to place itself in full compliance with the A. C. policy requiring a student's normal progress toward a degree as an athletic eligibility standard. Requires "C' Average.

Substantially, this requires such progress to be both "quantitative" (in regard to the number hours carried) and "qualitative" (a or better average.) Aigler said that the Big Ten also will be required in the future to file with Commissioner K. L. (Tug) Wilson true copies of academic records and entrance credentials of athletes within thirty days after they have been certified as eligible for athletics. The Big Ten also voted for "no poaching" regulation that would prohibit any conference school from making, contact with an athlete already been approved for entrance and had established residence at another member institution. "There is one other point I wish 1 to make clear," said Aigler.

"There is an indication over the country that the A. C. E. report abolishes athletic scholarships. This is not but in fact it permits them." GEHRMANN IN HALF MILE.

Lake Wales, March 16. -Bob Marquis has agreed to terms and that was the good news today as the Blues resumed training under pleasant weather conditions. Although outfielders and infielders do not report until Tuesday, Marquis had not signed.

Manager George Selkirk was concerned because the fleet outfielder figures prominently in the 1952 picture. Last season he was about half the ball player he is capable of being due to A leg injury suffered during a season of winter ball. The injury was tated during spring practice and again after the season played opened. almost the entire season result Marquis under a severe handicap. Blues fans saw him as an ordinary outfielder and average hitter.

Actually he figures to be a topflight outfielder and .300 hitter. He is one of the fastest men in baseball. During a long distance phone conversation Marquis told Selkirk that his leg is as good as new after a winter's rest and that he looks forward to a big year. There was encouraging word from Bob Muncrief. He may be persuaded to report.

It was an uneventful day on the practice field. Selkirk worked the pitchers hard and the pace will be increased tomorrow. "Iron Mike." a pitching machine been up and it will be to good when the hast sets full squad reports. With machine in operation it will be unnecessary to use SO many pitchers during batting practice.

Coach Bob Vanatta's Bears were not given any chance of winningmaybe they would get past the second round.

but no farther. Big powers like Hamline, Murray and Southwest Texas loomed in most consideration.

Lightweight Chrome-plated top piston now stands at eleven victories and four losses. Purcell a Standout. There are many fine memories to carry away. Bennie Purcell of Murray was one of the best all-around men in the tourney, and he justly received the outstanding player award.

Forrest Hamilton of Southwest Missouri carved a niche with his 2-handed jump shots. J. C. (Spider) Maze of Southwest Texas probably was the best "big man" of the event although he was listed as only 6 feet 5. Another angle won't be forgotten and that was the almost unprecedented display of comic ball handling and stalling by Portland university in humbling Hamline, the defending pions.

The incident, highly amusing to spectators, touched off wave of discussion among coaches and others close to the game. Was Portland justified in resorting to burlesque tactics when it had the Pipers down and out? Coach Joe Hutton of line didn't think so, and he had a number of supporters in that -belief. Prize statement of the week came when Coach Vanatta ceived the championship trophy: "They've been calling Cinderella team all the way, so I'm going to hold onto this trophy real tight, and I just hope it doesn't vanish at midnight." It was 11:55 as he glanced at the clock high up in the arena. Trophy No Dream. But Southwest's triumph wasn't a dream, it was real and rightfully earned, and what more can a coach and a team ask? So the Springfield Bears will mark time until March 29 when they return to the Municipal Auditorium to meet the N.

C. A. A. champion in the first round of the Olympic -offs. And you can bet the "Cinderella Kids" will have plenty of backers.

(AP) Big Ten basketball coaches today approved an 18-game conference schedule for 1952-1953 to replace the 14-game card of past seasons. Under the conference's 22-game limit, Big Ten teams now will be permitted only four games with non-league opponents. After adopting the 18-game slate as recommended last month by conference athletic directors the coaches immediately set to work to draw up the new schedule which will open in December. The 18-game 1952-53 league setup will permit home and home games for each member of the conference. Later today faculty representatives and athletic directors will meet with the presidents of Big Ten universities to discuss control of intercollegiate athletics in relation to the proposals recently accepted by the executive committee of the American Council of Education.
