THURSDAY', NPvEiPPR 2 _ 9 , 1951 The Lion's Lair , Mark Twain once said, "Everybody talks about the weather but no one ever does anything about it." If Twain was living today he ,might say the same thing about college athletics. In the past twelve months there has been enough criticism made on the state of college athletics, especially football and basketball, to fill four volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Plenty of criti• cism but what action? Hardly any. - There have been committees, panels, groups; and what have you, appointed to "look into the matter" but all.. • •••••••• that seems t come out o these i s more criticism in the form' of "rec• ommendations." The rates. "committee" i s the one made up of seven college presidents. They came out with the profound and original statement, "something must be done." Well, we're sure glad they told us. At least they didn't beat around the, bush about it. In New York last week, when five . basketball players were sen . tenced to jail terms and nine others given suspended sen tences, it took General Sessions Judge Saul S. Streit 41 type written pages to say the same thing. You can't pick up 'a weekly ma gazine anymore without finding an article on "the evils of college football" or "why I quit coaching" by some former college cqach. Last week, while we were home for Thanksgiving, we saw one television program entitled "Edu cation for a Fullback" 'and saw the advertisement for a similar program scheduled for, this week.

Just recently students had a chance to see 'Saturday's, Herb" at one of the town theaters—a movie about the same subject. Well, we're impreSsed. We've finally got it through our brain that these critics have found out something. There's some thing wrong with college ath letics. After 12 months of say ing it week after week they've finally reached us—and also made us sick and tired of hear ing about it., Right now we'd just like to tell them all—"put up or shut up." Everyone knows by now that col lege athletics aren't what they used to be. The question now is what is going to be done about it? We're beginning to" think that the NCAA sanity code wasn't such a bad idea after all. At least the colleges had Something on their conscience when they broke the code. Now it's just a criminal's utopia. What's to be done? We don't know. At least be honest about it. But we would like to point out to the responsible people that if things keep going a$ they are, the words "some thing must be done" is going to' become a popularly accepted cliche. tory. Joshua Lederberg led the winners' attack with. 12 points. In two other games in League G, the Falcons overcame a 17-11 halftime deficit to. edge th e Helots. 30-27, and the Colonial 5 squeezed by Penn Haven, 19-12. Gerald Werner and Bob Shaub each tallied 11 points to lead the Falcons in their win. The wins were the first registered by both the Colonial 5 and the Falcons, and the losses were the second absorbed by Penn Haven and the Helots. The Dinks, trying for their third consecutive win with Dorm 14 in League H, led at halftime, 13-12, but due to the accurate foul-shooting of Don Thomas, Dorm 14 staged a second half rally to win, 32-25. Thomas fin ished 'the night with 14 points, six of them being made from the foul line.
