NCAA sessions underway today WASHINGTON (AP) An effort to eliminate the abuses of recruiting high school athletes highlights the 69th annual convention of the National Collegiate Athletic Association which officially gets underway today. The some 800 delegates face a package of 131 proposals which, in addition to recruiting reform, deal with the collegiate battle against inflation. The recruiting proposals would, among other things, prohibit a college from contacting a student-athlete off campus until after his junior year and ban arrangements for summer jobs before enrollment in college.

Another would prohibit arrangements for loans for athletes while one other would restrict schools to a maximum of three in-person, off-campus contacts with an athlete during his high school years. NCAA officials deny the many recruiting measures being proposed to the convention are a result of last wooing of Moses Malone, the Petersburg, high school basketball sensation who agreed to attend Maryland but later turned pro with the Utah Stars of the American Basketball Association. However, the then 18-year-old Malone was a victim of many of the recruiting abuses which the legislation attempts to abol- ish. Malone was given a summer job at $7.50 an hour before entering Maryland. Arrangements also were made for him to obtain a loan to purchase an automobile Recruiters Uterally lived in Petersburg for months, attempting to persuade him to attend their schools.

Malone also is believed to have visited a record number of schools since currently athletes have unlimited, paid visiting privileges. The NCAA also plans to boost its enforcement staff to 11, up from the current four, to watch recruiters and other rules violators more closely. Funding of an additional $200,000 would come from an increase in dues and television money, a proposal which must be approved here. The package of inflation- fighting proposals would restrict all scholarships, except football and basketball, to tuition and fees only, increase, the basketball season from 26 to 27 games and would eliminate two-platoon football. The proposal to return to one platoon football is not given much hope for passage.

However, there is sentiment to reduce the number of football scholarships from the current allowable 105, although no action probably will be taken here because of convention rules.
