The Lion's Lair
Non-Spectator Sports Feel Axe
The announcement by Carl P. Schott, dean of the School of
Physical Education and Athletics, that Penn State would dis
continue intercollegiate competition in five varsity sports, although
expected, still came as a mild shock to quite a few interested persons.
It hit the coaches, managers, and varsity members of the golf,
swimming, fencing, rifle, and skiing teams especially hard.
None of the sports dropped
were what, you would call,
great spectator' sports—at Penn
State at least. We'd be willing
to bet that three-fourths of the
students at State had never
tended one contest in any of
the five sports...
The men wh o played those
sports played strictly for the love
of the game. There was no glory,
except for a few paragraphs in
Collegian once or twice a week—
nothing like the spreads the foot
ball, basketball, or wrestling
teams received.
There were no crowds watch
ing them perform. We sometimes
wonder just how many people
knew who was on the fencing,
rifle, and skiing teams, outside
of fraternity brothers and a few
close friends.
It's tough to see players like
that go—guys who play strictly
for the love of the game„
But a cut had to be made
and it had to coin e to the
sports which the student body
wouldn't miss. From the sup- .
port the student body "lav
ished" on those five sports, it
seems they won't be missed—
except by a few coaches, a few
managers, and a few athletes
who did nothing more than
play "For the Glory of Old
State."
Here's hoping the sports
aren't dead, but 'only sleeping.
Six Americans Advance In
Cup Play; Turnesa Loses
PORTHCAWL, Wales, May 23 (R)—Six American Walker Cup
players swept into the fourth round of the British Amateur Golf
championship today, but they lost Captain Willie Turnesa.
Still go'ng strong were Bill Campbell, Sam Urzetta, Jim Mc-
Hale, Charlie Coe, Dick Chapman, and Frank Stranahan, the de
fending champion.
Bo Wininger, a newcomer to
big time golf from Pleasantville,
N.J., completed the American
contingent in the round of 32,
Turnesa, in trouble all th'e way,
.bowed out to David Reid, a 19-
year-old Scottish coal clerk, on
a stymie on the 20th hole.
Starnahan won 4 and 2 over
his fellow Walker Cupper Bob
Knowles, who frittered away a
nine-hole two-up lead by leaving
three four-foot putts hanging on
the rims of the cups on the back

ECAC Bans Outside
Basketball Rivalry
NEW YORK, May 23—(?)--All outside basketball competition,
including resort play, has been banned by the Eastern College Ath
letic Conference. The E.C.A.C. is made up of 91 major and minor
colleges. -
The measure is aimed primarily to resort ball. Several college
officials have charged that summer resorts were the spawning
grounds for the recent series of
basketball fix cases. These offi
cials claimed that would-be fix
ers were able to contact and
tempt players by building up
friendship at the various hotels.
Resort officials replied that
the charges were unjust, assert
ing that players could be con
tacted just as easily elsewhere.
Asa Bushnell, commissioner of
the E.C.A.C., announced the ban
today. Bushnell said the scpools
had approved the measure in a
mail ballot with more than the
necessary two-thirds voting in
favor of the ban.
The only exception made for
outside basketball is participa
tion in secondary school ."alum
ni" games during vacation per
.
iods.
Besides resort play, players
are barred from participation in
church and A.A.U. competition.
The rule doesn't ban athletes
from working in the resorts.
They may do so as long as they
don't play basketball.

Big 10 To Vote
On Pact Today
EVANSTON, 111., May 23 VP)
A potential $200,000 sale of
1952 Rose Bowl television rights
may give new hope for continu
ing the Big Ten Pacific Coast
Conference football marriage.
The Big Ten 'tomorrow votes
on whether to renew the RoSe
Bowl Pact for another three years
after a rather shaky five-year
trial of keeping the bi g New
Year's Day a family affair.
Big Ten athletic directors and
faculty representatives gathering
for the showdown ballot are
split in' their views. But hovering
over the meetings is the prospect
of a coast-to-coast video hook-up
by next Rose Bowl time which
could swell the revenue as much
as $200,000 or more with a spon
sored live telecast of the grand
dad of Bowl games.
The Rose Bowl payoff has been
puny, indeed, in the past com
pared to the lush swag carried
home by teams competing in
other major New Year Day at
tractions.
